COST OF SCHOOL BOOKS.

The books of the public schools of

Board OF Education. Three members
of this board are to be elected by the
Senate of Virginia, of which the SEN
ator elected at the November election
VIII be a member. These merobers
are first determined upon and selected
by the caucus, and after this selec-
tion by the caucus, a vote against
the ones so selected cannot amount
to much.
If Mr.. Chapman is elected to the
Senate he will be member of the
caucus which selects these members
OF the Board, and can there make n
hght for or against any man select
ed. MIR. Chapman pledges himself
not to support any man for this board
until he pledges himself to oppose
any change in the school books, and in
this he can do no greater service to
the people who are burdened by such
great expense by this constant change
IN books.
If Mr.. Royal is elected he can have
no voice in the caucus in selecting
the members of this board, and after
their selection his vote for or against
any one so selected cannot amonnt to
much. ~

CONVENTION EXTRAORDINARY

And the marked feature of the Ho-

In the matter of resolutions. These
were submitted in open session and
adopted seriatim, after a motion to
dispense with the usual committee
had been offered and withdrawn. on
the statement that the resolution had
been submitted TO Chapman and had
received his approval.
The two most important of these
declarations-for increased aid to the
Confederate Veterans, and the neces-
sity for Senator in accord with
the majority of the legislature were
approved by acclamaticn and made d
profound impression.

STAND by SENATOR RoYALL.
(Advertiscment.)

The temperance people of this dis
trict owe j. Powell Royal debt of
gratitude that they now have an OPP
portunity TO pay.
He worked four years for the great
cause of temperance, and by his vote
in the Senate of 1914, made possible
the passage of the "Enablng Act.'
He cast the vote that made tic vote
of IS to 10, and the President of the
Senate broke the tie. / understand
that the other four Republic, ,i Scna-
tors voted against the "EnablingAct." :"
But Royal left his Republican col
leagues, and stood for morality and
right.
1t will be necessary at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly to make
effective the provisions of the "Enab-
ling Act" and it would be just and
fitting compliment to Senator Royal
to give him the honor Of making com
plete and effective that legislation
he has so earnestly labored for during
his term in the Senate.
The Confederate Veterans also owe
Senator Royal debt of gratitude, for
he introduced bill in the Senate to
increase their pensions bv paying
them $4,000 per year, and payable
quarterly. The bill did noe pass, but
he did his duty, and we owe it to him
to return him to the Senate for that
reason and he pledges himself, if
elected, TO introduce the same bill
again, and does not believe that any
Senator will have the heart to oppose
the measure.
Temperance people and Confederate
Veterans, vote for the man who stood
by you in these matters.
