A LETTER
OCUUU6T II, ISIf
Mr.. V. B. Bishop,
Monterey, Va.
October II, 1914

Mr.. V. B. Bishop,
Monterey, Va.
Dear Mr.. Bishop:
Referring to your statement
made to me that it was being urged
in Highland County that Democrats
should vote against me because |
voted against Statewide prohibition
| desire to correct this statement in
reference to my vote. On the 22nd
of September, 1914, | voted for
Statewide prohibitiCh.
Fifteen years ago, when theques
ton of placing Appomattox County
in the dry column, was submitted
to the people of that County, vot-
ed the dry ticket. These are the on
ly two occasions upon which have
been called to vote on this question
and my votes in both instances have
been the same way and my record
absolutely consistent.
When | have been called upon to
vote in Congress upon bills involv-
ing this issue, my votes have been
the same way. My record in these
matters is we'll known to the lead
els of the dry cause in the State
and Nation.
enclose copies of letters which
I have received from the Rev DR..
James Came n, Jr., and the Rev.
DR.. Edwin G. Dinwiddie, who occ'
upies the same relation to the Anti
Saloon League cause in Washington
that DR.. Cannon has heretofore
held in Richmond.
have never thought it was wise
to make a political issue of this
moral question and would not write
this letter now but for the fact tnat
my position is being misrepresented
/ trust this letter will put it straight
with the people of Highland.
With best wishes, | am,
Sincerely yours,
H. D. Flood.

MONDAY.

With Antwerp in their hands, the
German army operating in Belgium
has begun a move toward Ostend, the
temporary capital Of the country
where King Albert is reported to have
arrived with that portion of the Ant
werp defenders which escaped to the
westward.
Germany's evident purpose now Is
to prevent the retreating Belgians
from joining the Anglo-FTench forces
operating in northern France near the
Belgian border and at the same time
to break through to the coast.
Paris reports that the attacks near
Lille have been repulsed and that the
allies have gained ground near Sois-
sons. -.
The Berlin war Office officially as
serts that the German forces in East
Prussia have won a victory over the
Russians opposing them, taking many
prisoners.

mart of~the~ Belgian army has escaped.
# took the Germans just eleven days
to capture the strongest fortress In
the world. ;.
The Germans, after Smelling the city
itself for many hours, making II I'M
tenable, entered the town through the
suburb of Berchem, to the east. They
had made a breach in the outer line
of forts. some of which were destroy
ed by the big guns and others blown
I'm by the defenders. :,
In France, according to the french
communication, the allies have main
tanned their positions IN several vlo-
lent attacks at several points. Inc
cavalry is still engaged along the BEL
eian frontier and across it, each slde
irving to work around the other 5
wing.

VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3RD

The election on the 3rd of Nov
ember marks the halfterm period
of the present Administration. 1t
is the time when the voters of the
country show their approval or
their disapproval of the conduct of
pubic affairs by the party in power
If the Administration has won
popular favor it will be shown by
the election of a House of Represen-
tatives in sympathy with the
President, and of his party faith;
and if the Administration has failed
to win popular confidence, this is
shown by the election of an adverse
House.
The issue now presented is.
Shall the present Administration
be endorsed? Surely no Democrat
can hesitate or fail to record his
approval, by voting for the nominee
of his party for the House of
Representatives. In this District
that party is fortunate in having
as nominee, a man who has served
through the war" and actively
participated in the stirring events
which occurred in the two years
past, and put to the test the best
qualities of mind and body pos
sessed by man.
The record made by the Presi-
dent and the Congress, of things
done and pledges redeemed, must
challenge the administration of the
country, appeal to the voters of
all parties, and we believe will
receive the overwhelming approval
of the people on the November 3.
Go to the polls, Mr.. Voter, and
register your approval of a record
of splendid achievement of this Ad-
ministration by voting for Hon. H.
D. Flood.

Beer To Pay Half
The War Tax

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 22.-The
war revenue tax of approximately
$50, OOO,O on the annual output
of beer is agreeable to the brewers
of this city, although this industry
already pays yearly internal tax
of 1865 100000. The stamp tax
on negotiable instruments, stocks
and bonds, deeds, bills of lading,
pullman car and steamships tickets
and insurance policies is expected
to yield 100000 and the re-
mainder will be raised by lew
on tobacco. patent medicines, per-
fumes, cosmetics, theatre and
amusement tickets and etc. The
beer tax will yield revenue more
than ten times greater than that of
any other single commodity.

On his stop in Newark. on June %,
IT'S, Washington was met by some of

that city were men who later became

the new republic.
Washington remained in Newark
about four hours. The personnel Of

ing in his house near Stony Point,
Major Andre. Last but not least
was Richard Montgomery .. son-in-
law of Robert r. Livingston, famous
for services in 1867 at the siege of
Louisburg, and destined within a few
months 10 capture Montreal, and his
gallant death a. Quebec.
With Washington in Newark was
General Philip John Schuyler, who
went in the fail of that year with
Montgomery to Canada as first in
command, but who relinquished that
position to Montgomery upon being
taken ill. Another of the group was
General Charles Lee afterward to be
captured by the British at Basking
Ridge, and still later at Monmouth to
become notorious for his insubordi-
nation to Washington. There also
was Major Thomas Mifflin, afterward
quartermaster-g general of the conti-
Mental army, and still later governor
of PENNSYLVANIA. All in all, there
was very notable group of visitors
in Newark on Sunday, June rs, 1775.
