JUDGE STUART VISITOR AT THE
CAPITOL.
(From Tuesdays Richmond Evening
IOurno1

v 'SAAA AaSouty Evening
Journal.)
Among the visitors at the Capitol
today was Judge James H. Stuart, of
Roanoke, candidate for the office of
moral welfare commissioner.
AS shown by the Evening Journal
yesterday, Judge Stuart has strong
backing. 1t was said today that the
minority party in the House probably
would support him.
Judge Stuart, who was for twelve
years on the bench of the Tazewell
County Court, and who is now an at
torney and member of the City coun-
ell of Roa- .oke, expects to remain in
richmond until the commissioner is
eleeted-probably Friday.
Floor leader Willis is in charge of
Judge Stuart's candidacy in the house.
The claims of Judge Stuart are based
on his temperance views and upon
the fact that he was the first Judge
in Virginia to send n man to jail for
violating the liquor laws.

Ale Idea Of Justice,

A wen known Philadelphia lawyer
tells Of an enterprising man In that city
who retained him to prosecute an &C
ton. Consultation with the plaintiffs
witnesses revealed the fact that theil
stories were most conflicting and con
seQuently far from convincing. This
fact was communicated by the lawyer
to his client, and the latter was advised
70 drop the suit. After some hesitation
the client said that he would have 9
talk with the witnesses and the next
day inform the lawyer what he would
do In the matter. The next day the eli
ent appeared, quite cheerful and will

fight.

; Our first newspaper was published

most majestic orator, our most win

proportion Of our cabinet members

such a drain of leadership upon like
