Who Created the Pension System ? Nearly all Union veterans vote with the party of Lincoln and Grant , the party which created and maintained the pension system under which nearly four thousand million dollars have been paid out to survivors of the Union armies and to the widows and orphans of soldiers who have passed away. It may interest Union veterans to know that the Democratic state of Virginia discriminates against them by exempting from the poll tax as a prerequisite to vote those only who served in the army or navy of the Confederacy , no similar exemption being provided for Union soldiers , of whom there are many in the State. This is quite a recent change in the Constitution of Virginia , having gone into force in 1904 , when the American people showed what they thought of Demo cratic rule in Nation and State by piling up a recoru-breaking majority for Roosevelt and Fair banks. There is every indica tion that Taf t and Sherman will be borne to success on another tidal wave , and survivors of the Union armies , who still number a very large proportion of the electorate , will undoubtedly vote for the Republican party , which has always stood by the veterans and against the party which holds the Union soldier to be less worthy of the ballot than the former Confederate. v , . The Governor's Reasons. Governor E. W. Hoch : "If a man can squeeze out of the air a liquid that is one of the most powerful things in the world ; if a man can make an instrument so that he can put something to his ear and something to his mouth and talk to a friend a thousand miles awayjif a man can make an instrument with which he can examine the internal organs , look into the human body and see the bones on the other side ; if a man can make a little cylinder and wrap the human voice around it , and years after the autor of that voice is dead can repeat that voice to the listening friends and loved ones u a man can work these modern miracles of science , it is easy for me to believe that God could work the miracles of the Bible.
