TR|NK[E TO TAKE
UP BOND QUESTION
Says He viii Issue Detailed
Statement Soon, Explaining
His Attitude.

STANTON. Va. May 14.-State
Senator E. Lee Trinkle,- Of wythe-
willie, in Staunton this week attend
ing the Virginia Grand Lodge, I. o. o.
F., In annual convention. declared in
an interview that he had no state
ment at present to make relative to
the question of issuing bonds to build
roads in this State. The proposed
bond Issue is one of the most impor-
tant in the gubernatorial race, and
Trinkle is opposed in the Augusta
Democratic primary by Hon. Harry
st. George Tucker, of Lexington.
Refusing to commit himself on tho
bond issuance question, Mr.. Trinkle
said:
You may quote me As saying. how
ever, that / am unalterably opposed
to any increase in taxation, unalter-
ably so. The road people say that
the issuance OF bonds will not entail
any increase in taxation. That Ia a
question that 1 am not prepared to
discuss at this time. expect to issue
a detailed statement covering my po-
days, but this, of necessity, must BE-
carefully prepared and just now
cannot make any definite statement"
Mr.. Trinkle took occasion to launch
an attack at certain State papers
which are inimical to his candidacy.
particularly a Richmond paper, which
the senator from Wythevflle declared
was wholly unfair" would print
nothing favorable to him. would dis
tort" his public utterances. and when
shown its error would reply that IL
would be glad to publish his correct
statement lat the regular advertising
rates"
This paper" Mr.. Trinkle said,
when i announced my candidacy,
charged me 5000 for printing my
picture in the patent medicine col
umn. II / had committed a robbery
it would have sent special camera
men to take my picture for the front
page"
In concluding the interview, the
Senator declared:
81 am entirely sincere in what !
say and I am just al confident OF
| election as I am sure that / sit in
i this chair. You will notice that
have been making no boasts. leave
that to my opponents.'
