TICKET FOR NEXT
STATE ELECTION
One That Would LlkelySweep
the Temperance
Fleld.
Mr. Harman, tho preacher-lawyer mem
ber of tho Sonate from Tazewell, ls hav
lng lots of fun out of the recent guberna
torlal boorh for hlm, orlglnated by somo
enterprlalng newspaper reporter. Tho
Btnator treats the matter as a Joke, and
hoa beon teased no llttlo by hls fcllow
mcmborB of the Commlttee for Courts of
Justlca. Ho promlsed those commlttee
mcti that when elected he would make
them all colonels on hls staff, and now
addrcsscs them all as "Colonel." At the
last meeting of the commlttee tho pros
pectlvo Governor called hls staff to or?
der and announced that ho had appllca
tlons for staff colonelcles from Mr. Wlck
bam and Mr. Halsoy. "What ls your
pleasure, gentlemen? Shall wo recelve
them?" aaked the Tazewell Senator wlth
mock gravity.
"I movo that they be recolved on pro
batlon," Buggested one of the colonelfl,
and tho motion was carrted wlthout ob
Jectlon,
"Hold on," said Senator Ople. "Here is
Judge Mann, who hss also been men
tloncd as a candldato for Governor. He's
a member of the commlttee also. What
are wo going to do about that?"
"I'll ask you all to Bcrvo on my staff
when I am elected," chipped in Judge
Mann, and this happy solution of the
dlfilculty suggosted by Mr. Opio was
hailed with entliusiosm, for it meant two
chnnces of a colonelcy to each member
of tho commlttee.
Thereupon, on motion of Colonel McII?
walne, the staff meeting was adjourned
nnd the secrotary was dlrected to notlfy
Colonels Wickham nnd Halsey of thelr
electlon on probatlon.
Afterwards Sennfor Ople proposed as
a composlte gubernatorlal tlcket for 1905
a tlcket^ whlch he said would certalnly
please the tomperanco people: Judge W.
H. Mann- for Governor; Hon. J. N. Har?
man for Eleutenant-Governor, nnd Hon.
Graham Claytor. for Attornoy-General.
reads thus! "In overy clty thero shall bo
cleoted or appolnlod for a torm of four
years, In a mannor to bo provlded by law,
ono commlaslonor of revonuo, whose du
tlcfl nnd oompenflatlon shall bo prescrlbod
by law; but should ho bo oloctcd by tho
people, ho shall bo Inollglblo to re-oloctlon
to tho ofllco for tho noxt Biiccnodlng torm,"
It 1b proposed to Bubstltuto ln llou of
this tho followlng:
"In every clty thero ahall bo oloctod or
appolntcd, for a torm of four yeara, ln
n tnnnner to bo provlded by law, ono com
mUslonor of revenus, whose dutles and
compenBatlon shall bo proBcrlbed by law."
A slrnllar provlBlon 1b that suggested ln
tho case of commlBsloners of the revenue
ln countlos, sectlon 110 of tho Constltu
tlon.
If thCBe two Jolnt resolutlons pass both
houBes, thoy must bo certlfled to and
passed by the noxt General Assembly
nnd then approved by tho poople at tho
polls.
"In the event of a free-for-all raco for
tho Governorshlp next time, wlth four
or flvo candldates ln the race, Judge Wll?
llam H. Mann, of Nottoway, would mako
a formldablo asplrant for tho posltlon,"
salfi a well known member of the Gen?

speculatlng ln polltical futurcs. "If ho

ln tho patron and namesake ls a subBtan

"I tcll you he would make the other
candid&teB hustle," said the legislator, as
he Btarted to boo a man.
"Would not the antl-prohlbltlon element
of tho party be a unlt agalnst hlm?" somo
one askod.
"Grant that they would," rotorted tho
flrst speaker, "lf Judge Mann were tho
party nomlnee, all who had partldpated
ln the prlmary would be in honor bound
to Bupport him, or certalnly not to opposo
