In strong reply to what he styles
an attempt at gag rule by the Demo-
cratic committee of the County OF Page.
Senator r. s. Blackburn Smith, of
Clarke. adds another contribution to the
literature of the senatorial campaign
In the district composed of the Counties
Of Page, Warren and Clarke.
Recently the Page County commit
tee met and attempted to force Mr..
Smith from the race by adopting a
resolution asking the candidates from
Warren and Clarke to withdraw and
concede the nomination for the State
Senate to PAGE County. II further re-
solved that IL that be not done the two
candidates for Warren enter an elimi~
nation primary. promising to endorse
the candidate selected and recomm end
that the Democrats of Page vote for
him as against Senator Smith.
In other words the Page County COM
mittee. representative OF all the party
met to work solely in antagonism TO
one Democratic candidate. because that
Democrat does not recognize an alleged
rule of alteration as between the three
counties of the district. Incidentally
Mr., Smith Is a prohibitionist and stands
for the enactment Of laws necessary to
put into effect the will of the people
OF Virginia as expressed at the polls

and Senator Smith claims that they
will not support proper prohibition
legislation II elected. There is now no
avowed candidate from Page County.

Smith as $50 wet that IL makes a
voter sneeze to even so much as think
of him AS candidate" has been mem
toned.
In closing his reply to The Page Couu-
ty committee, which he accuses of ex-
ceeding its authority and using its
powers In the interests of one candi-
date as against another, Senator Smith
says:
Let me ask you to reconsider your
i'll advised and undemocratic action.
The clock will strike presently. and
you will all be gone. Do not let IL be
said of you. that you were willing to
block a candidate or gag the voters.
Do not leave such blot on your es-
cutcheon. You will go: but the prin-
ciples OF Democracy will remain as
eternal as the hills; and any officials
Of our party, who disregard them, will
