VIRGINIA EDITORS ON
THE GOVERNORSHIP
Ellxson for Governor.

Hon. j. Taylor Eyson, for more than a
quarter Of century the chairman OF the State
Democratic Committee and now serving his third
term as Lieutenant-tiovernor, has announced
briefly that he will be candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination fo- Governor in 1917. The
announcement of Mr.. Eliyson was made this
early because of the discussion anent the guber-
material contest and the entrance of another dis
tingushed gentleman IN the race 1t is a bit
premature to be thinking Of candidates for Of
fees to be filled by primary election two years
hence. but regardless of who may aspire to sue
coed the incumbent In the highest office in the
gift of the Vlragnia people, we are frank to say
that the candidacy OF Mr.. Ellyson will attract
Statewide attention. Being successful business
man to begin with, not to mention his long SER
vice as chairman of the state Democracy, II goes
without the saying that thousands Of voters feel
Kindly towards Mr.. El.yson regardless of the fac
ton of the party with which they are identified.
A week two ago citizen in the private
walks OF life who has been more less active
In politics, stated to the writer that IL 1t were
left to him to select the next Governor OF vir-
glnia he would unhesitatingly write the name
Of J. Taylor Eliyson IN large letters and deposit
the ballot with the proper officer to certify his
election. And find this to be the sentiment
of scores of people who have watched the course
OF Mr.. Ellyson during the loug term of years
he has been in public life. That he Is equipped
for the office to which he aspires, all freely ad
NIT. That he will make an active campaign and
have strong support in practically every precinct,
cannot be denied.
The people of Virginia do not have to be told
that j. Taylor Ellyson when mere youth, en-
tered tho service OF the Confederate army, that
he gave good account Of himself rs Mayor of
Richmond. tina. he has led the Democratic party
to successive victories and defeats since he has
been the party chairman that he has graced
the office OF LieutenantGovernor with dignity
and made an admirable presiding officer in the
upper branch Of the General Assembly. and that
no man Is better acquainted with the needs of
the Old Dominion than he. And knowing these
things, the people going to give the candidacy
of Mr. Ellyson that tareful consideration II de-
derives.
1t Is bit early, as we have said, to discuss
the candidates that will aspire to the several
state offices in 1917, but on account OF his long
service to his state and his party feel that
We would not be fair to a faithful public servant
II did not say this much in his behalf We
wish Mr.. Eilyson wei IN whatever he may under
take. and shall watch his campaign with genu-
me interest,-Clifton Forge Review.

We Gods and Little Fishes.

Up-eountry good folk cannot understand our
fish and oyster industries. We tell them we
plant oysters: also that oysters grow trees
Both OF which are true, but 1t puzzles the up

Misunderstanding OF the industries Is one OF
the causes for serious complications when II

actments. We hollered the other day till we
got winded when reading a Times Dispatch re-
porter's version Of an interview with some gem

he tiger OF the bay and Potomac River are
constantly on the lockout for the food fish
upon which they live. and that whenever a
school Of menhaden comes along on raid all

To us who know the exact to be
true Of the menhaden. and that they themselves
are the prey OF all other maraaders. big and

him, this error Of reporter Is highly ludicrous.
But 1t has O. serious side. 1t is just by such
and Measurements that in

John p. Branch became Christian. a staunch
citizen apd a man noted for integrity and pro-
bility of character. Petersburg Is proud to have
been the birthplace and the home of such a
citizen OF years.
In 1850. while Mr.. Branch was a resident of
this city, he and number of others, including
the late distinguished Methodist pastor, Rev.
John Il. Edwards. D. D., went on trip to
Europe and Dr. Edwards wrote book giving
an account Of their travels, which Is very
interesting and racy volume.
The newspapers have given accounts of the
gifts of Mr.. Branch to religious and phianthropic
objects, and these need not be mentioned here
in detail 1t goes without the saying that such
a man was, indeed. power In the financial
world. and the state and the city of Richmond
have sustained a serious loss in his death But
like to think of him as the earnest, loyal, de-
voted member OF the church which he loved
so well and the plain approachable, tender
hearted man who sympathsed and responded to
the call Of q needy brother. We will miss him
at the annual gatherings of the Virginia Metho-
dist Conference, and his form and face will be
absent but will keep green his memory in
our hearts. Peace to his ashes
