have returned from a recent trip to

the work as being done by the ccnvicts

he had the opportunity OF talking with
about Is of the Il convicts engaged in
that work, and each one expressed
self as being glad to do the work. They
have comfortable shacks to sleep in,
good food and comfortable wearing APP
parel. not wearing the regulation suit.
and what is considered most essential
in such life and such conditions. good
exercise. The work is carried on, with
only two guards by day and one by
night. The men who are taken from the
Portland Jail are not necessarily "trus-
ties but those who from appearances
are considered best able. physically to
do the work. The working out of this
scheme seems to be an encouraging
success. and MIR. Bradbury said that
everything in connection with the plan
is agreeable.

sources, for the reason that these
same men when the vote on the en-
aiding act was taken in the Senate
IN 1914 positively denied that the
people had any right to do as they
see NJ on tae liquor question. .
The enabling act was an essentially
Democratic law. 1t dealt with the
liquor question, hut the chief feature
Of the act was that it gave the people
the right to vote on the prohibition of
the traffic in intoxicating liquors.
Tho senators who voted against that
act were not voting on the liquor
question They were voting on tho
right of the people to vote on the
liquor question. They denied tho pco-
pic had such a right. That is the
record. Nineteen senators have their
names on the Senate Journal of the
session uf 1914 declaring that the
people have no right to rule them
solves. Now they come before the
people appealing for their votes and
say that they have not only changed
heart on the liduor question. but have
changed their views Of Democracy. IL
these men were not believers in i'le
right of the people to rule themselves
in 1914. what has taken place to
change that view so materially? Is II
that these men were In office In 1914
and are out Of it now, and the people
are the ones who alone can return
them to office? such seems the only
possible conclusion.
Today's primary will determine one
ming above all others. 1t is most
certainly a question of the right Of the
people TO rule themselves, and we
warn the people of Virginia that IL
they return to the Virginia state
Senate from contested senatorial dis-
trtcts the senators who voted against
the enabling act. the people of Vir.
gtnia have little assurance that the
desire they expressed on Septemhe
%, 19l4-roe desire for strong. eff
fective. prohibition-will ever be put
into force.
The Issue is too serious to take any
chances. Let every Democrat who
casts his vote today remember that
the future well-being Of Virginia
hangs in the balance. His vote for a
wet senator may bring to the State
conditions which we may not be able
to escape for years, if ever.

Dr. Thomas NJ. Hare, State super

Thomas Parran. of Calvert. have visit
ed this county and addressed sew
eral anti-saloon rallies.
The result seems to depend upon the
negro vote. which numbers 1,434 out
of a total registration of 3,14S. The
dry" forces claim, and apparently on
good grounds, that the majority of the
negroes will vote against the saloon.
If the county goes dry, fiftytwo
saloons will be closed. 1t also will cut
off the supply of liquor which now
reaches Charles and Calvert Counties
and the dry" sections of Virginia
from St. Mary's. 1t Is this fact which
