Mr Bradley makeup of the gentler sex thas they should do such things. Judge Wii liam Loving shot and killed young Estis because he belleved his daugh- ter Elizabeth had been outrageously wronged. She was brought home from abuggy ride with Estisina semf-consclous’ condition and her story led her father to believe that she had been drugged. Judge Lov- {ng was acquitted under the “unwrit- sen law.” Now why should women do honor to the memory of a man accused of @ crime of thas kind? Novhing has ever been brought for- ward toshow that Estis was not xutisy of the crime for which he patd the penalty at the hands of an out- raged and maddened father. And yes women of Virginfa and strang est of all, women of other states who bad never heard of Estis until the shooting occurred, “asked to pay sheir'tribute also to innocence and worth” by contributing tothe monu- mens.

Dear Sir:—Your favor under date of the 14th inst. to hand asking should I bea member of the Senate {n the 45th General Assembly should I abide by the result of the senato ralprimary in case Sen. Stone should be the nominee for U.S Senator. I will say in reply 1 most assuredly will vote the expressed sentiment of the people on the senatorial question irrespective of what my personal feel- ings may be. The voice of the Dem. ocrats on the senatorial question and all other questions will be the supreme law with me as I have stat- ed time and again. I propose to carry out the will of my constituents on all questions and not mine. Iam somewhat surprised that my party loyalty should be questioned at this time as 1 have always been a true and loyal democrat all my life.
