Governor Swanson Expected to At
tsch His Signature to the Local
Measure Today.
i _
IT MS BEES HUSHED THROUGH
Next Move in the Proposition to Take
the West and Eaot Ends Into Hamp?
ton Will be Made in the Elizabeth
City County Circuit Court This
Morning.
The bill relating to tho Increasing
Of the liiuitii of town and eitles- of the
second class in Virginia, which was
framed \>y Hampton men, and which
Is of great InterCBt here, WAS passed
by the Senate In Hlchtnond yesterday
and now nil that in lacking to make
It a general law is the signature ot
Governor Claude A. Swanson, The
bill was Ir.h-t week unanimously pass?
ed by the lower branch of the legisla?
ture and only two members of the
Bona to voted against its adoption
when the bill was up for passage yes
etrday.
The nowa that the annexation bill
bad been passed by the Senate and
now only awaits the signature of Qov
trnor Swanson was received hero
diortly after noon yoHtorday in a men
sage from State Senator Saxon W.
Holt. The information created the
greatest Interest and there was a gen?
eral feeling of elation among the peo?
ple who desire to see Hampton streich
out her protecting arm und take In
the Kast anil West Ends. That this
will be done the most ardent
antl-ahnoxatlonlst does- not doubt.
Senator Holt, following the good
example of Delegate Harry It. Hous?
ton, got a suspension of rules In the
Sennte as soon as the committees on
towns and eitlen made a favorable re?
port upon the adoption of tho bill and
by this means had the measure en
tetcd Into law.
Governor SWAnson la expected to
alflx his nlgnnture to the bill today and
an the measure becomes a law Im?
mediately upon Itti passage the limit
tor annexation has been won.
Town Attornoy William 0. U Talla
ferro, representing tho council of the
'own of Hampton, will today ninue
formal application to Judge Black
'tone, in the Circuit Court, asking
that an order t? entered requesting
lovornor Swanson to designate some
lodge to conio hero and hear the ap?
plication for the extension of the
limits of the town. Judge Blackstonc
Is disqualified by the law from sitting
In the ease and tho motion by Mr.
TallnterrO today Is In keeping winl
"he usual procedure In such matters.
The court will simply enter an order
informing Governor Swanson mat the
court la not qualified to nit In tho
annexation"enso and asking that some
Judge from unother community bo
sent to hear the cause.
Just when Governor Swanson will
name the Judge cannot be surmised.
He will probably do xo at once now
that there Is to be no UrIu on the
proposition to make Hampton a city
of 8,000

(By Associated Press)
NASHVILLE THNN.. Jan. 22?Jud
s?in Harmon, former nltorriy general
of tho United status, was the princi?
pal speaker here to.light at a Bryan
meeting. He spoke In part as fol?
lows:
The result of elections docs not de?
pend alone on tho Ideas advanced by
the contending parties, but one of
them sometimes holds advantages
over the other which help to turn the
scale. The Republicans have during
tho last twelve years had two such
advantages over tho Democrats.
The first Is a false pretense which
circumstances have enabled them to
use with effect.
Just fittcen years ago the wolf waft1
at the door of a Republican adminis?
tration. The times wore bad nnd get
ting worse. The public funds were
rapidly disappearing. A large amount
of bonds Were engraved and on the
joint of being Issued, but It was fi?
nally managed to skimp along through
the few remaining weeks.
Then tho Democrats took charge.
Vhey found the bottom of the treas?
ury staring tit them and this pile of
nice new bonds nil ready for use.
\inl us the troubles Increased, and
the crops failed, and the Income tax
was overthrown, the Democrats hud
ilnnlly to father those bonds' In order
to maintain the credit of the country.
Straightway, with the assurance
which only Republican politicians can
enrry off, they laid everything to thi:
Democrats.
We aro now free once more to go
before tho people on equal terms with
:>ur competitors. And Wo shall gain
Or lose according as the policies we
'impose shall attract or repel tho con?
fidence of the people.
I believe the great standard Ideas
of Democracy were never more at
irnotlve to the people thnn they are
today. I may not stop to repeat them
and need not. Everybody knows
'them. I shnll speak briefly of the
inly, tariff reforms.
I believe the people, at large are
suffering more from the exactions of
the turlff thnn from any other single
cause. The favored Interests were
permitted, ns everybody knows, to
write the various clauses In the Ding
ley law to Bull themselves, und they
were not at all stingy about it, either
Their contributions hod won tho elec?
tion and they wire enjoying their
own.
For over ten years, In spite of enor?
mous Increases In the amount of ar?
ticles taxed, the Republicans have re?
fused to reduce the rates of taxation.
So the part of what the people are
made lo pay which goes Into tho treas?
ury has, In spite of cxtrnvagnnce in
all directions, filled It with Idle money.
Hundreds of millions which do no?
body any good but favored banks.
While the far larger part of what the
people are made to pay which goes
to tho favored Interests in the form
of arbitrary advance in prices to home
consumers has rapidly bred Illicit
wealth.
When llavemoyer, the head of the
Sugar Trust, hud to admit under oath
that the tariff is the mother of trusts,
there was loud protest all nlong the
line of beneficiaries. They fell back
on their stock argument. Look at
the Standard Oil Company, tho great?
est of all trusts, with oil on the free
list.
I confess that point did puzzle me
a little until I discovered the facts.
The only country which could export
oil In any quantity Is Russia which
puts an enormous duly on Imports of
oil. So thero was slipped into tin
Dlngley bill n clnusn which provides
for the same duty on oil Imported
here which the country from which
it comes Imposes on American oil.
Of course, we have had no oil from
Russia though petroleum nnd its pro?
ducts are nominally on the free list.
Folly of Country's Stadn.
It is folly to rail nt the trusts and
pursue them with flues nnd injunc?
tions while we carefuly cherish the
law which breeds and feeds' them.
The way to stop a growth is lo go
it the root of It. And what relief
would the people get if tho .trusts
,vere nil dissolved, without revising
he tariff? The men and concerns...
ivhlch compose them would go right 'j
in drawing separately ..ie substance
af the people LV means of these ex
:esslve tariff charges. It would he
inly a change of form with the same
result.
I have seen a careful estimate
showing that every family In tho
United States contributes nn average
if one hundred dollars per year to
ho gains of the beneficiaries of tho
Dlngley tariff, In Increased cost of
teces&itles alone. This cxp'.ans why
hose who live on wages and salaries
lud themselves no bettor off, notwltn
standing repeated increases in their
>ny.
Surely It Is our duty, ns well as
wise ifollcy, to ralso our voices
if.ninst these impositions on the peo
ilo and give our pledge of relief. They
AND?L
say' tho larlff must ho revised by Its
friends. Wo Bay li must be revised
by the friends of the people. Other?
wise If will never be done at all or
the revision will prove to be a shame.;
Hut, like all measures which affect I
trade and Industry, the revision of the
tariff must be made With deliberate]
care. Thousands o! honest Industries
are involved which must have tlm??'i
and opportunity to adjust themselves
to new conditions, These need not
bo harmed. On the contrary, as
many . of them have already discov?
ered! they will gain by being freed
from (obstacles which hamper foreign
trad*1.
(tight things may be done In n j
wrotiK way. When I was-a toy I once i
got a good licking because, when set j
to weed a long neglected strawberry
bed, 1 went about It with such reck?
less force that the vines- mostly came i
up with the weeds.
In conclusion, I am firm In the be?
llt r that we shall deal this year In
wholesale fashion with all differences
In personal choice and views and
bring the party in full vigor to the
coining race.
V1R01SIAN RAILWAY TO
DEVELOP NEW RIVER
Lino Rom Tltfewater Siction to Ex?
tend Throunh Piney Coal
Coal Fields to Hinton.
CLIFTON FORCE, VA., Jan 22 ?
A citizen of Hinton who has boon
closely idenlHied with the plans of
the Virginian railroad, formerly styl?
ed the Deepwater Tidewater, to reach
the rich coil fields, today declared In
positive terms that the Virginian
railroad would be built through West
Hinton juft as soon as financial con?
fidence Improved sufficiently to pro
vld? funds. This extension will bo
from the month of East 'Ivor on
the main line from Dcepwtner to Nor?
folk, to the Plney coal fields via West
Hinion and Prince.
Tho citizen himself sold the char?
ter and rights oT way over thift route
secured by hint for n railroad line,
to the Virginian people, and Is,en?
tirely familiar with their plans for
deyloplng this impo'tant territory.
Tho Pennsylvania Lumber Company
has built a lumber rond down Blue
stone river to Its mouth, five nillofi
above Hinton on Now river and this
road has been tendered the Virginian
rillroad to operate, which thn\- will
"horlly accept, building their line on
through from the mouth of Rlueitone
to tho Raleigh coal fields at ontv,
and later complete the link between
'he mouths of Milestone and East
rlvo-?.
This Information comes from nu
Mioralatlv ?? rourcefl and assures the
speedy development of tho west side
of New river, and will Incidentally
1 do much toward developing West
Hinton as an Important point.
