Tho Governors Call for rnltv

est harbor in the world" Governor Trinkle
has found an excellent text for an address
TO Nirginians upon the need OF united
thought and action. His appeal to the peo-
pie OF Southwest Virginia at Norton for
drawing together OF all sections OF the
state applied inferentially to every common
cause, but 1t gained greatly in power by the
placing OF Hampton Roads in the foreground
as virginia possession worthy of n peo-
pies pride and support The instant en-
thusiasm with which the Norton audience
received the Governors advocacy OF the
states magnificent port strengthens the
Impression that whatever may be under
taken hereafter looking to Hampton Roads
development will draw the most loyal sun
port of the entire Commonwealth
There is but one way to make Virginia
as great ms she can be-" said the Governor
and that is for all OF the people OF Virginia
TO pull together" Failure to recognize this
simple truth undoubtedly has deferred the
full realization OF the. States clear promise
Sectonaiism OF sort has existed within

1t has been for tho most part of a negative
