Iget a list Of the voters from the
various registrars throughout the
State in Colonel James name. One
or the registrars who thought that he
was obliged TO send the list as a part
OF his official duty, was the late John
w. Brandon, who died early in July,
and who wrote letter to Secretary
James expressing his contempt and
disgust for that official protituting
his office TO get list to help the
whiskey crowd. In Mr.. Brandons let
ter to Secretary James. copy of which
was published in your paper, Mr..
Brandon stated to him that II the list
ne had sent In from Brandon's pre-
cinct in Halifax county was not fur
nished for the purpose of flooding that
section with whiskey literature. that
Colonel James need not send any
check to pay for the list? Colonel
James replied that the list would not
be used for that purpose, but the
voters of that precinct have been re-
cetving regularly supplies OF wet
literature from saloon headquarters in
Richmond, while at Black Walnut pre-
cinct, in the same county where
reside, whose registrar failed to send
q list to Colonel James, only four or
five voters out of a possible hundred
have received any of the wet litera-
ture. This would indicate that the
iksbS IuIItSISu 1Clou't SHAiSS WV
turned over to the wet side.
As former earnest supporter or
Colonel Il. Q. James. I was deeply dis
Appointed at his weak defense about
getting the lists, and / am not lit
tie surprised at evidences of his failure
to keep his word, but then. perhaps
his clerk turned over the list or
Brandon's precinct to the so-called
Local Self-Government league with
out Mr.. James knowledge7
One very amusing feature OF the
campaign OF the vets has been their
frequent references to Captain r.. /.
TIobson's being a defeated candidate
from Alabama, and, therefore, what
he might say on the subject OF pro-
hibition ought not to have weight; ana
yet the words OF the Hon. Harry st.
George Tucker, who champions the
side of the vets. ought to carry great
influence, whereas he is also defeat
ed candidate as all OF us Will remem-
Der who voted in the Mann-TuckerI
