VIRGINIA POLITICS CAMPAIGN IN OLD DOMINION WARMING UP. Special Correspondence of The Star. RICHMOND, Va-. October 7, 1906. Secretary Shaw has spent the week In campaigning In this state.

He has spoken at the Academy in this city. In Danville, at Clifton forge and other places. He has been greeted with large crowds at every point at which he has appeared. Democrats In Immense numbers have gone to make up his audiences, and it Is believed that at least three-fourths of those to whom he has spoken have been of the opposite faith politically tjj that of the speaker. In this city he was given a great ovation.

He was accorded attentions by the leading business men of the city and by the more prominent of federal officials. His visit was made conspicuous by the honors accorded him, which were largely of a social nature. Mr. Shaw expressed himself as charmed with the reception here, and the same hospitality extended him will be accordod all men of his caliber and intelligence. Mr.

Shaw makes no pretensions to oratory; he is argumentative. He is epigrammatic, and many of his epigrams elicited rounds of laughter and applause. The Hustling Begins. One effect of the visit of Secretary Shaw has been to Increase the activity of the democrats In all parts of the state. Chairman Ellyson apprehends no trouble In electing the entire state ticket by the usual democratic majority of at least 30,000.

At the same time he is losing no opportunity to have a strong man follow in the wake of Secretary Shaw and to counteract the effect of the speech of the distinguished head of the Treasury Department. Senator Daniel Is to speak at Clifton Forge just a day or two after Mr. Shaw leaves, and they are to meet at Lexington on Monday, when several prominent speakers of both political parties will entertain the voters. Mr. Ellyson Is making appointments for all his speakers as far ahead as possible.

In that he hopes to be rid of the requests for speakers to be sent to certain sections. There are a few open dates, and when there Is a date and a point can be reached easily he makes an appointment for the speakers. The Schools an Issue. The republicans are making the most of the school question. 1 he republicans have made nominations in every legislative district in the state, with the exception of about a dozen.

Such a thing has not occurred before in twentyfive years. What is more, the men who have been nominated are on the stump and are making a tight of more aggressiveness than for many years. The voters are organizing and are ready to vote on election day. That they have hopes of making a decided increase in their membership in the general assembly is evident, and that tney will succeed in that efTort Is generally accepted. But It Is believed they will be far anything like a majority of the members In either branch.

There are factional tights on in many districts between the democrats, and the republicans are paying attention to "hose districts, hoping to win in every Instance. That they wiil succeed in landing some of the places In which the democrats failed to agree there Is good reason tD believe. This is true of King George and Stafford, of Fluvanna and Goochland, of King William, and in other districts. CHATR OF SUBGEBY. Richmond Man Gets University of Virginia Place.

NORFOLK, October county commissioners at Salisbury, N. have Just given their official consent for the marriage of a couple who for the past twentyfive years have been inmates of the county home. The bride-elect Is Miss Lou Dawson, who Is now busy making up her wedding outfit from a special appropriation made by the county commissioners for this purpose, and the groom-to-be Is Col. Joseph McDanlel, who commanded a regiment of North Carolina troops in General Lee's army during the civil war. Tfoe bride-elect la past seventy-two, and the groom-elect Is Just eighty-four.

October on the James river, the'birthplace of William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. former Presidents of the United States, has changed hands again, and is now the property of William Jameson of Long Island, who purchased it from John B. Klmberly, postmaster at Fort Monroe, and associates. The purchase price is given as (27,000. Klmberly and associates are reported to have paid only 122,000 for the property.

There are 800 of land in the tract, and much of It is in the original growth of timber, which will be cut off to a considerable extent by the new owner. The old mansion walls are well preserved, and they are so thick that the house will last indefinitely.

BALTIMORE, October 7, 1905. Fully realising the desperate situation which confronts him, as a result of making the Poe amendment the paramount issue of the campaign. Senator Oorman has brought the machine lash Into play.

During the past week the most brazen exhibition of party dictatorship ever assumed by Senator Gorman was given. The democratic ward executives were summoned to appear before the special amendment committee, of which former Gov. Jackson Is chairman, and these ward leaders were bluntly told that unless they came out flat-footed for the amendment they must step down and out of membership in the city committee. Three of these executives declined to respond to the crack of the machine whip and reaffirmed their opposition to the amendment. stating that they had been elected at the primaries on an anti-amendment platform.

and under no consideration would they lend their aid toward passing the measure. A demand was then made for their resignations, which they flatly refused to hand in. The "rebellious" executives were then told that they would receive no financial aid from the campaign committee and that the committee would select men in their respective wards to act In the capacity of executives. This action upon the part of the amendment boomers was taken after word was received from Senator Gorman to apply the lash, the 'sage of Laurel" having reached the conclusion that the only peg on which he can hang a hope of passing the amendment Is an "appeal" to party regularity. In pursuance of this plan of campaign It became necessary to weed out all within the city organization who are not in accord regularity aS the 8tate 1,033 on Party Legislative Candidates.

The lash will be cracked again the coming week, when all candidates for the legislature will be summoned before the special Gorman machine committee and Informed that they must come out openly for the Poe amendment. The candidates will be told that no straddle on the amendment will be permitted. They must declare themselves. Those who fall to respond to the Gorman lash will be classed as republicans and will not be accorded recognition by the democratic campaign committee. The amendment boomers are now preparing a letter which will set forth the position of the committee in regard to the amendment and Che legislative candidates.

It win declare that the state convention which represents the democratic party in Maryland unanimously adopted a platform embodying the amendment, which a democratlc legislature by a two-thirds majority voted to submit to the people of the state, thus In pursuance of a pledge made in the last campaign; for years the party has contended for white supremacy in the state and In now offering to redeem Its pledge calls upon every loyal democrat I to do his part at the coming election- the candidate must stand squarely on the platforrn or get off; there is something more Involved in the fight than party controlthere Is a principle at stake: to sacrifice this to obtain temporary advantage is undemocratic; If a majority of the voters of the state do not want the amendment and are content to allow the negroes an unrestricted franchise, the democrats will yieldthey will at least have done their duty In redeeming the pledges made In 1903; but no candidate for office must bar the movement; he must stand by the platform; If his espousal of the amendment shall carry him to defeat with the amendment then let them go together; the party can afTord defeat on this issue; it will have been consistent and not sought control under false pretenses; therefore, every candidate on the democratic ticket is called upon to stand by his party's platform or be classed as a republican. United Opposition. That an uphill fight is the lot of the Gorman machine Is evident at a glance when the organizations opposed to the Poe amendment are enumerated. The following Is a list of the organizations pledged to work against the measure: Reform League of Maryland. Democratic Anti-Amendment League.

Citizens' Union. Afro-Arierlcan League: German-American Citizens' Union. Civic Federation. All local societies of the several nationalities resident in Baltimore. In addition, the fact must not be lost sight of that Gov.

Warfield's adherents or the administration forces will present a solid phalanx against the Poe plan. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Reform League It was decided to take an active part in securing a fair count next month, as well as directing its energies toward defeating the amendment. It was stated at the meeting that reports had been received from agents of the league that aa effort will be made, both in the city and In the counties, to secure approval of the amendment without regard to means or methods. Acting upon these reports, the officers of the league decided that the situation today demands the same vigorous camajUgn and the same close watchfulness which were used by the league In 1805 and 1807, when the democratic rlngsters were turned out and when several machine election Judges were sent to the penltentlary for crooked work In the election booths To Poll Candidates. The league also decided to make a poll of the legislative and ascertain their, position on the Poe amendment; ana If a candidate favors the measure the league will urge his defeat at the polls.

If no answer is received from a candidate it will be taken for granted that he favors the amendment, and his defeat will likewise be urged. Tlio league will also distribute throughout the olty and state thousands of circulars setting forth the pernicious features of the amendment and exposing the sinister purposes of Its framers." From now on the league will devote Its energies and its means In preparation for the great contest on November 7. Every suspected polling precinct will be watched, and secret agents of the league will make every effort to secure evidence by which convictions will be possible. The work of the league will not. cease with the closing of the polls, but will be carried on until punishment is meted, out for every fraud.

The republican campaign on the hustings will open In this city next night with a large mass meeting under the auspices of the Active Republican Club of the Fifteenth Ward. All of the city legislative candidates will attend. The chief speaker will ue former Representative Charles R. Schlrm. The first Important mass meeting In the state took place at Httgerstown this evening, the speakers being Secretary Bonaparte and Mr.

Thomas Parran. On October 24 Secretary Bonaparte will speah. at Cambridge, and this will be followed by an aggressive stump campaign all over Dorchester county. During the last week of the month republican orators will tour Garrett county. On November 3 a great mass meeting will be held In Frederick, at which al the "big guns" of the republican party are expected to deliver addresses.

ROCKVILXE AND VICINITY.

Terms of Electric Railway's Re-Entrance Into News. Special Correspondence of The Star. ROCKVILLE, October VJ005. The council of Rockville Is again considering the question of readmitting the Washington and Rockville electric railway into the town. About a year ago It was thought that the differences existing between the railroad company and the local authorities had been adjusted and an ordinance granting the road a right of way was prepared.

The company, however, declined to furnish a bond for the performance of its contract with the town, and as this feature of the ordinance was insisted upon by the mayor and council the ordinance was not adopted and the terminus of the road has since been located east of the corporate limits of the town. It Is stated that the citizens of the community have changed their minds in regard to the terms under which the road should be allowed re-entrance, and that with a very few exceptions the citizens are unanimously in favor of allowing the company a right of way through the town, bond or no bond. It Is thought probable that some action will be taken at the next meeting of the mayor and council, and It is understood to be probable that the citizens will- be asked to express their wishes In the matter before any definite action Is taken by the board. Mr. James Smith, a resident of Potomac district, this county, died tills morning of paralysis, aged about seventy years.

He is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of Mr. William H. Harrison of Potomac district, and several children by a former wife.

It Is stated that within the past few weeks at least two such exhibitions have been pulled off on the Conduit road without there being any effort on the part of the constabulary to Interfere. Several months ago a Washington club desired to give such exhibitions at Glen Echo, but State's Attorney Robert B.

Peter ordered the arrest of the principals and served notice that such bouts would not be permitted so long as he served the county as state's attorney. It is said that the recent exhibitions on the Conduit road arc Just as much violations of the law as the ones the state's attorney objected to, and it is understood he will be asked to again put a stop to these boxing contests.

The people of this city are preparing to make the visit of President Roosevelt memorable. Little bickerings have been magnified and they have been healed. They have nothing to do with the visit of the President, and on all sides it has been agreed to stop and to settle differences after the President has come and gone, and to keep it out of the newspapers. The city council and the mayor are attending to the official end of the reception, and the chamber of commerce and other bodies have taken up the matter of having the citizens' committee named from men who represent all walks of the city. So far.

however, not a solitary colored man has been named for a part in the affair, and none will be. The man who drives the carriage in which the President is to ride will be the most conspicuous colored man in the city, and will be closer to the President than any other colored man. The city Is to be decorated with national colors, state flags, and is to be made more beautiful than it has been for years. There is to be an escort of honor for the President, to be composed of the city's most representative young men. These will ride with the President and will be mounted on the finest horses that can be found in the state.

There will be about one hundred of these, and they will ride alongside the President's carriage. Twenty thousand school children are to be assembled along the line of march from the depot to the hotel at which the President will stop. Each child is to have a small American flag, and this is to be waved as the President moves along the street. The city is to have a holiday and nearly all the business houses of the city will be closed. After the luncheon, which will take place shortly after I o'clock, the President will go to Capitol square, where he will make an address.

He will speak from the small pavilion in which the statue of Henry City is kept. The pavilion is open and affords a commanding view of the sauare. Large Crowd Expected. It is expected that fully 25,000 persons will'assemble to hear what the President may have to say on that occasion. The military and police arrangements will be perfect.

The streets are to be cleared from one end to the otherj and while the procession is passing no one is to be allowed off the sidewalk. The secret 3ervlce men of the city will be reinforced that day, and it is expected that the military will be used largely to assist in the preservation of order, thus allowing the police to be on the lookout for people who may become obstreperous. One feature of the banquet, as It is called, la that there are to be no speeches. Notoasts will be proposed. This has already created a little discussion, for if there is anything of which the people of the state of Virginia can boast It is ability to make a speech, especially after dinner.

There will be a number of men in attendance who wish to have a chance to toast the President, and when the announcement was made that the speeches would be cut out there was a disposition' to criticise the committee, one gentleman alleging that "the members of the committee, Incapable themselves of making a speech, determined that no one else should have a chance." Arrangements have been made for seating some 300 guests when the luncheon is served, and it known that the number of gentlemen who are ready to receive invitations exceeds at least ten times that number. Offers of $10 for invitation cards have been made, but as no one knows as yet who will get these, there have been r.o sales.
