most criticism was one concerning

the city schools. 1t was openly de-
nounced by many members of the
league last night and about the city
today as lapse Of judgment. Others
declare it was inspired by a baseless
personal grudge. Several members
of the league stated unqualifedly to-
day that they were of the opinion
that every bit of their campaign ma

declared they had called up DR.. Col

distributed were also criticised and

Edward c. A. johnson, independent
candidate for mayor of the city of Vir-
ginia, formally opened his campaign
with big meeting at the Finnish
Temperance hall Wednesday evening.
Johnson occupied the stage alone and
introduced himself. He declared he
had no money to hire lawyers or buy
newspapers. He opened his speech
with a strong arraignment of the ill
advisedness of the present bitter
strife in the city, reviewed his record
as a public official, declared he was
the candidate of no clique, faction or
organization and said if he could not
be elected mayor without any strings
tied to him he did not want the place.
He did not commit himself to any de-
finite platform, but promised the peo-
pie as many things in the way Of
municipal improvements as they might
sanction consistent with good busi-
ness. He repudiated the statement
which he alleged had been made in
some quarters that he was the saloon
and underworld" candidate, indulg-
ed in several witty sallies at the ex-
pense of the Messrs. McGhee and
Boylan, also candidates for mayor, de-
clared he had been a municipal owner
ship man when Marcus Fay was
mayor of Virginia, ten years before
it became an issue before the people,
deplored the fact that certain news
papers adopting yellow methods were
doing all they could to foster strife
in the city and gave some intimate
political history affecting various
phases of the present "struggle."
johnson was given fine reception
by the big crowd and when it filed out
into the night the sentiment. was free
ly expressed that he had made fine
impression and that his chances for
election had been considerably i'm
proved.
DeplOres Factional Fight.
Opening his address Mr.. johnson
said the chief issue of the campaign
was the reinstatement of Virginia
with the outside world. He said this
was now known as a community con-
stantly embroiled. The outside world
wanted to know what was the matter
with Virginia. He said factional and
political strife must stop and that
there were enough broadminded men
in this city to accomplish that end.
He reviewed the city's resources,
touching on the mines, the mills and
it's strategic situation as a railroad
center and declared he was one of
those citizens who had faith in Vir-
ginia's future, declaring the city. was
still in it's infancy. He said we might
better be devoting ourselves to the
fostering and encouraging of new in
dustries than to be constantly engag-
ed in petty political broils.
Not Candidate of Clique.
He declared he was not the candi-
date of any clique, faction or organi.
zation. :. '. =
"I want to be responsible for my
own mistakes" said Mr.. Johnson, "fol

city government from the present

Civic League Grilled.
Mr.. johnson next grilled the Civic
league. He characterized it as a
political organization and said it. had
no useful purpose as such in a city
the size Of Virginia. He said he had
opportunity to affiliate himself with
the league and had been assured by
some of its members who were pre-
sent in the hall that if he would join
the league McGhee would be with
drawn as a mayoralty candidate as
he was weak kneed anyhow and gave
the organization a good deal of 5trou-
BILE to keep his bolstered up. He de-
clared these members of the league
