SOUTH WOULD LOST, PRESTIGE
UNDER HUGIIES'S REGIME

Aside from this. the return OF tho
Democratic party to power meant, in
cidcntally, the elevation OF Virginia
congressman TO positions Of power and
influence in tho national Legislature.
To two NirEinians came also the honor
OF representing this country at Euro
pcan courts.
Under a Hughes regime. IL thcre
is one. grave fear has been expressed
by leading Nirginians, Representatives
Glass and Montague among them, that
Federal reserve hankSs would he cut

In Richmond would he the first TO 20.
1t is dead certainty that Virginia
ConErcSsmcn would lose their positions
as chairmen OF tn" most important COM
mittccs in the Senate and House OF
Representatives II is still more Ger
tain that the two amba sSndors chosen
from this State would he recalled, and
Others named in their places.
Not only would Richmond and Vir-
rinia suffer. but the whole South would
suffer likewise. Candidate Hughes has
never lot slip an opportunity to bring
tho charge that, under the Wilson al
ADMINISTRATION, the South is In tho sad
die snd that tho nations affairs are
controlled by an inconsiderabie portion
