CONGRESSMAN CARTER GLASS ENDORSES
MIR. POLARD'S CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNOR
What Governor Stuart says:
Pollard has borne Heavy Bur-
den With Conspicuous Ability"

81 have had exceptional opportu-
mites to observe his official life and
| think it only fair to n high-minded
and efficient public officer to say that
his services have been exceedingly
valuable to the State. l happen to
know that Mr.. Pollard and not any
of his assistants, was personally re-
sponsibc for the opinion of his Office
under which there was disclosed for
taxation more than three hundred mad
fifty three million of dollars of taxa
BILE property which had heretofore
escaped assessment and that he is
justly entitled to the credit therefor.
] know, too, that a comparison of the
reports of his Office with those of his
predecessors will show that an i'm
measurably heavier burden has rest
ed upon it during his incumbency
than ever before, and that the attor-
ney-general has met that burden
with conspicuous ability. do not
hesitate to say that as my legal
advisor l have found him prompt, ac-
curate and sound, and his advice and
counsel have stood every test.
Indeed, it has been my pleasure
heretofore to say that / considered
the State of Virginia exceedingly
fortunate to nave as encouragement
lawyer of such capacity and char
acter, and one who has so whole
heartedly devoted to the public well
fare"
Up to July 3Oth over 325SO had

is recognized by all Christian

"The requirement that believers be
baptized is in accordance with the

bed sheet is SO.
The cost OF housekeeping has
doubled since last winter. EBBst NAae
