CLAIM DAVIS is WEI.
Remarkable Report, Dated Lynch

Dul VIZ
Richmond, Oct. 19.-Rcpublicans
of Virginia are doing their utmost
to create the impression that the
Democrats are surreptitiously Try
inc to encompass the defeat and re-
peal of the prohibition laws. The re
publicans are busily engaged in
spreading the report that West
moreland Davis is the nominee OF
the liquor men. At the Lyncnburg
fair Mr.. Davis made a speech, where
upon the anti-Democratic press
found much fault, declaring that the
management of the fair had uncer-
taken to convert the event into Il
political gathering. The following Is
taken from The Independent, publ
she'd at H~arrisonburg:
'The directorate of the Lynchhurg
Fair Association is being sharply
criticized for its action last week in
turning the annual meeting into Il
political festival and allowing West

yourself in these hours when your

You answer in your subscription
to the Second Liberty Loan. By the
ready warmth of your response, you
measure the depth of your love Tor

the comforts and advantages its de-
mocracy gives you.
Picture what your life would be
in a country bereft of freedom; pic
ture what you might be, had 1t not
been for the opportunities our LAND
of liberty gave you; picture the future
of your child in the grip Of the iron
fist; put the question to your mind and
sum up what your country means to
YOU in sentiment and self-interest; for
all that strikes at your country strikes
at you and your home.
Then proclaim your answer i'll the
buying Of all the Liberty Bonds you
can.
Buy until the buying pinches. The
world offers no better investment.
Your dollars will be fighting for your
country, and storing up an income for
your home.
Go at once to your bank and buy.

Flare Back of Goethals-Denman Row
Causes Early Adjournment.

Washington, Aug. l6.--A bareback OF
the Goethals-Denman shipbuilding con.
troyersy caused some hot words in the
Senate yesterday and led to premature
adjournment.
Senator Phelan asked permission to
print in the record statement by Will
liam Denman, the former shipping board
chairman. Senator Smoot promptly OBJ
jected, declaring that President Wilson
had closed the case and that the Senate
should not reopen it. Senator Phelan
replied that he only acted in fairness to
man who forced down the price of steel
and saved the government million of
dollars
Senator Lodge, presiding, pounded for
order as the debate warmed up and re-
marked that IF this thing were fastened
on the Senate there vii be a good many
more things said"
The incident was closed by motion
to adjourn by Senator Martin, the Demo
cratic leader who said the "Denman-
Cocktails srow" had already taken up
enough of the country's time and that he
and Others were sick and tired of it.

New York, Aug. l6-The district board

cations for industrial exemption also

his claim denied, the board ruling that
so long as the husband was alive the
son was not the sole support.
A bride of May, 1917, will not pre-
vent her husband from going to the
front, as the board ruled it had not been
shown she was unable to support her
self. In another case where wife was
a strong, healthy woman and had been
earning eighteen dollars a week, her hus-
bands claim was denied.

no human possibility can the lack be
made up before cold weather sets in.
