MONTAGUE RAPS 1
STATE MACHINE
Tells South Richmond Voters of
Modern Political Ten?
dencies.
ANALYZES MARTIN LETTERSj
-
Former Governor Says He Never
Reposed on Breast of
Mr. Byrd.
Severe criticism of the "maehlno" .
and Us leaders, with analyses of tho |
public records of senators Martin and
Swanson. formed Ce basis for the
speich of former Governor Montague
last night before the citizens of South
Richmond. The meeting was held In
the courthouse.
Mr Montague first sketched the
mo .i rn movement! looking to partici?
pation by the people in their govern?
ment, unj commended the tendency
toward cutting down the obstructions
between the ollicers and the people.
The result of a machine system of gov?
ernment, he said. Is rampant graft.
The appeal is to "stand by ;? our
friends." The young mun is told that
he cannot rise save by joining its
ranks, and the oflice holders are in?
formed that they must adhere to its
standards. Leaders In such a system
were denominated by Mr. Montague as L
"the night riders of modern politic*." j,
Scea Promise lu Future.
Machines, he continued, are the
friends of entrenched monopoly, and
are sustained either by the interests
or by taxes upon the salaries of the
Office holders. Yet, he ^thought, the
future Is not without hope. Leaders
are arising in the peopleSi interest,
1;ri i .? :long w hom he placed WoodrOW
Wilson, "the hope of the Democracy
in America." He declared that the
party could be cleansed from the in?
side, and that this should be the
method.
Learning that Senator Swanson says
there Ik no machine in Virginia, the
former Governor said that - man who
believed that was too bad or too igno?
rant to vote
faying a good deal of attention to the
record ot the junior Senator, Mr. Mon?
tague said that there had been an In?
crease in salaries during his admin?
istration of four yean of 65 per cent.,
or $33.S,S91.07, over that of ills own j
(Mr. Montague's). The spesch of Mr.
Swanson was characterized as "so
much Vombasl that it will toppel of
lib own weight." He again reviewed
tho condition of the treasury when
he retired, and when his successor
went out of office. Recalling the fact
that the State convention had failed
to indorse his own administration, Mr.
Montagu.- said he cared nothing for It,
mentioning It to show the malignity
of the "machine" against those who
da oppose it.
.N<it on Uyrd'B Hreast.
He himself, be continued, had never
scratched a Democratic ballot. He de?
nied the statement ot Speaker Byrd
that lie had been warmed on the breast
of the "riig" a- d then stung lt. "I
have never." he said, "'been on the
breast of Mr. Byra or any other ma
< hine man, nor have 1 ever stung a
1 man wh helped me. I do. not like to
have a man whose Judgment is me?
chanical to critlc'ze my Democracy."
The organization lights Democrats
?who disagree with It more than it
lights Republicans, according to Gov?
ernor Montague. When he was nomi?
nated, he mid, Senators Martin and
Swanson went to Europe, returning a
few days before the election, and Mr.
Bwani?n made a few speeches where
they would do no good to the party.
Turning ids attention to Mr. Flood,
hp cr'tlclzed the lattor's West Point
f-pcicti as pruise of the machine to
the discredit of Washington. Jeffer?
son, Madison and Marshall.
Was Tucker Nominated!
The speaker laid down tho proposi?
tion that it is not sufficient that elec?
tions be honest, but that the people
must believe them honest Methods
once used against the negroes are now
employed^ /he said, against Democrats
who oppose. tire machine. "J do not
Fay 1 believe, it." he announced, "but
there are. thousands of Democrat? who
do believe that Tucker was nominated
as Governor."
He took up the Thompson and Glas?
gow letters one by one. analyzing t'nem
to the same effect as has Mr. .Jones,
although throwing new light on hem
in some respects. He ?ald railroad
money was distributed not through
party channels, but by Thompson end
his friends.
He laid down the proposition that
the least known man cannot be ol"-~:od
to the Senate over the best known
man save by little known methods

Senator Martin solicited for Repre?
sentative Flood, notwithstanding t?1p
Senator's denial.
The Cumpbcll Fee.
Reading the Indorsements of Jttdge
C. J. Campbell's fee by Martin, Swan
son und Flood in the Amherst will
case, Mr. Montague said that such men
do not possess the sense of propriety
nnd decency which would qualify them
for positions as representatives in Con?
gress. Judge Cavipbell, he said, could
not make $0,000 in nine years prac?
ticing law.
Closing, he discussed labor matters.
He defended Mr. Glass's record. ;f;er
saying his personal relations with the
Lynchburg candidate had been Strained
for several years. Recalling the fiuhl
over the employers' liability bill, lie I
referred to a pamphlet written by s I
representative of labor who had'
worked for the measure; and in which !
Martin nnd Swanson are recorded as
hostile to 'the proposition. Mr. Glass,
he said, voted nnd worked for the bill

ECISIVE ACTION
NOT EXPECTE
International Officers Send Re
ply to Markman's
Letter.
Chicago. September 5.?Instead ot
ordering the federated shop employes
of the Illinois Central Uallroud to
strike, representatives of tho nine In-1
ternatlbhal organizations involved to-',
night, ufler an all-day conference, de-,
cided to send a reply to the letter In
which C. H. Markhain, president of the
tho road, flatly refused to recognize
the officers of the system federation.
The reply was signed by W. F.
Kramer, secretary of the International
Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Help?
ers, to whom President MarkUam ad-'
dressed his definite communication yea. !
torday. in the letter the international
officers took issue with President
Markhain lu hi* claim chut the unions
tailed to comply with the thirty-day
notice clause of changes desired in
working conditions.
Tile communication also contained
another strike threat, concluding as
follows:
"Until equality Is recognized, justice
cannot manifest itself, und should your
attitude be persisted in. such trouble
as may result will not be the unions'
desire, but the socking of yourself
and those whoso Interests you repre?
sent. There are too many people
teaching details of conduct who do not
even understand first principles."
The International oflicers remained
in lonference until a late hour, though
Chairman Kramer announced that bo
fell assured no derisive action would
be taken until some future day.

DR. GE
Dr. George B. Steel is the I
youngest son of Mr. George
Steel, a former merchant of this j
city. He was born and raised in
Richmond, and has been an I
active participant in and an ?
earnest supporter of everything i
tending to the advancement of
his native city, at the same time
giving freely of his means to
benevolent and charitable ob?
jects. He commenced life as a
"printer's devil" with the late
Henry K. Lily son, but soon de?
termined to study dentistry,
which he did by his own efforts
working for newspapers as mail?
ing cierk and reporter at night
and in a dental office in the day
to accomplish his object.
Immediately on his gradua?
tion he opened an office of his
own, and has been a successful
practitioner of dentistry ever
since. Monroe Ward honored
him with a seat in the City
Council, where his labors were
bo much appreciated that upon
a re-election he was returned at
the head of the ticket. While
serving his second term he was
nominated and elected to the
House of Delegate1, wlu-re he
took an a< live part from the
start, and was assigned to four
Dr. George B. Steel.
important committees, viz.:
Asylums and Prisons; Banks,
Currency and Commerce; Re?
trenchment and Economy, and
Library. He enjoys the unique
distinction of having been al
ways present and on time both
in the House and committee
meetings. He was also frequent?
ly called to the Speaker's chair,
where he presided with dignity
and grace.
Finding at the close of the
first session that he was unable
longer to give Iiis undivided
time and attention to legislative
duties, he declined to offer for
re-election, being, as he then
stated, unwilling to do anything
"half way," thoroughness in
everything he undertakes being
his motto.
At every election, however,
since that time he has been
urged by his fellow-citizens to
run again, but would not con?
sent until now, when he finds
he can once more render faithful
service to his constituents by
devoting his whole time, if neces?
sary, to their interests.
Dr. Steel is a Democrat, and
has never voted any other ticket.
He is very extensively and fav?
orably known in the city and
State and beyond. He is an
enthusiastic Mas>on, being a
member of two lodges, Royal
Arch Chapter .and Knights
Templar, and is an officer in
each body. His experience in
legislative affairs will greatly
aid hint in the discharge of his
duties, and if elected will make
an honest, faithful and efficient
representative.

Martin Declares Money He

Used for Patriotic Service.
[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Stauriton, Va_, September 6.?Sena?
tor Martin to-night apoke nearly two
hours to a sympathetic nudlonce ot
about 300 persona, who liberally ap?
plauded the points he made against
Mr. Jones. The speech covered about
the usual ground of his previous
speeches, except possibly In the phras?
ing. Ho Bald that Jones was the rank?
ing Democratlo member of the House,
but that ho had never accomplished
anything In tho moro than twenty
years of his sorvlco. When tho House
was reorganized at tho oxtra session,
the only honor conferred on Jones was
that lie was allowed, on account of
his seniority, to choose his seat with?
out drawing for It, and he was made
chairman of the unimportant Commit?
tee of Insular Affairs.
He analyzed some of nla votes with
Aldrlch tbut Jones attacked, and he
claimed they were right. He charged
Jones with suppressing the fact that
these votes were all on amendments,
and that on tho final vote on t.he bill,
as a whole, ho voted against it.
He had made mistakes, he said, but
Jones had not had sense enough to
find them. Ho ha* voted against every
protective tariff bill since he has bten
In Congress.
The Thompson letters he discussed
briefly. He said the only Interpre?
tation that can bo put on them was
that he was doing a patriotic oorvlco
to tho people of Virginia, for which
he has no apologies to make
He said ho had. time and again, gone
to Now York to. appeal to railroad
presidents for money to maintain
white supremacy, and he knew It was
not being used for Sunday school pur?
poses, but to carry the electton for
the Democrats to maintain white su?
premacy, and he charged that Jones
was using all he could get In the same
way. The money alluded to in the
Thompson letter?, he said, was to re?
pay advances made In the previous
campaign.
Senator Martin claimed he would be
nominated In the primary by 25,rxt0
majority He was ' Introduced by Jo?

Marvin Smlthey, nn attorney, opened

attacks made by Jones and Glass. Mr.
Byrd's speech was not abusive. He
denied that he was one of the '"big
four." constituting an alleged "ma?
chine" in Virginia politics, and stated
that never in his legislative career
had he sought or obtained either, di?
rectly or Indirectly, the advice of Sena?
