spend today developing the work OF

game with Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute Saturday showed up the State
lads on defense, and the tackling was
not altogether satisfactory.
The Staters will go to New Haven
Saturday to play Yale. knowing they
will be up against the stiffest sort of
opposition. The work of the line was
especially good last Saturday, and
while the secondary failed to solve
the forward passes of the Virginians
the line gave Indications of being
able to hold up against almost any
sort of offense.
None Of the State players was in

the battle at New Haven will find
practically all of States team in first

badly bruised side, but is the only

JOHN D CARROLL'S SPEECH

. The address at Richmond.
Ky, by Judge John ID. Carroll,
opening his campaign for the
democratic nomination for
Governor will make a deep i'm
preston on all who may take
the time to read it. 1t certain
ly proves that Judge Carroll is
entirely worthy of the high
honor he seeks as far as a
courageous stand taken by him
on public questions especially
commends him to the consider
alton of the voters. His ep-
PLANTATION of the tax law is dir
ect and full. Every taxpayer
should carefully read this
splendid address. The cor
rect principles underlying a
proper and Just taxing systems
are fully set ont.
This speech we think will
set many people right in this
state who have heretofore had
a wrong idea of a right and
proper tax law. His speech is
free from offensive criticism,
is courteous and digniiied.
Judge Carroll has had wide ey-
perience in public life, is a law
yer of fine ability and is first
class gubernatorial timber.
Every body has confidence in
his good and patriotic inten-
tions. He has no political
enemies in his party. In our
opinion would make the party
a strong candidate and the
state a most excellent Cover
nor.
