General Carr has long been one Of the chief
figures In the councils Of the Confederate vot-
crans. and his presence at the reunions has
been regular and appreciated. His climb from
the ranks to the highest official honor in
the gift OF the veterans has been steady, sure
and merited. He Is probably known to moro
Confederate veterans than any other man in
that organization, and since they know him
they love him for his interest in their work,
for his big-hoarted enthusiasm. and for his
devotion to everything relating to tho pleasure

AS Our Neighbors View 1t

IN its long-distance analysis of the Viz
- gimp gubernatorial campaign, our neigh
Dor. the Baltimore Sun, seems to have been
led into error through Republican propa-
= ganda, rather accepting as established cam
. paign facts certain charges which Colonel
Anderson and his publicity agents have cir
culated broadcast. but which are without
foundation in reality. The Sunpaper
gravely informs its readers that the pres
= ent deep current Of public feeling is due
largely 10 dissatisfaction with what Is known
as the Virginia Democratic machine. That
is the pet brain child OF tho G. o. p, and
II has been used in season and out of sea-
son. But what are the facts? Virginia at
/, one time may have had q machine that was
: all-powerful, even to obnoxiousness, but
only In the last few days voters have heard
Senator Carter Glass, Governor Westmore-
land Davis and Representative Andrew J..
Montague declare that the old machine no
longer exists. 1t will be generally admitted
that these three men are appropriated to
speak of the machine. and If It existed to-
day. as it did once to the proper dissatis-
of the people. they would be found
/. fighting 1t as they have done in the past,
: rather than on the stump for Mr.. Trinkle,
whom the Republicans dub as a machine
candidate"
Nor is the Sun we'll informed when IL
refers TO the wounds left by the defeat of
Harry st. George Tucker as a source of
encouragement to Republican hopes. II
wounds were inflicted by that defeat they
were healed without scars on the day fol-
lowing the primary. There has been no
sulking in the Democratic tent. Those who
were ardent il: Mr.. fuckers support are
equally earnest and enthusiastic now in
their endeavors TO assist the candidacy Of
Senator Trinkle, and they are confident of
his overwhelmingly victory at the polls. In
that victory next Tuesday they will feel the
same deep sense of satisfaction in the up-
holding Of Democratic principles as if their
hrst primary choice had won. They are
fighting under the banner OF Democracy. and
L. Lee Trinkle is its bearer.
Other points in the Sans ANALYSIS are
equally misleading. The Republicans have
not made "a constructive and nopnartisan
campaign whatever it promised to deyelop
IN It's lnclp;ency, and however anxious Vir-
gina voters, regardless OF political faith
were that such q campaign should be made
