Editorial Paragraph

Some few people, who know neither
OF the present candidates for congress
might be led to believe that Col Slemp
''is a man OF more brains than VIM. F.
Rhea, and is much better posted on the
vital questions that are now agitating
the public mind" as stated by the
Tazewell Republican, but those who
know both OF these gentlemen will
smile at the statement. Col. Slemp is.
hewever, a man Of good sense. He
displayed poor judgement, neverthe-
less, when he consented to allow him.
self to be made tool Of by the Repub-
licans of the Ninth District.
"The Democratic officeholders trust
in Virginia" if there be one, is not half
so bad a trust as we would have il the
Republicans had full sway. They did
have full sway once upon a time, and
put ia Office a job lot of sorry white
meu and still sorrier negroes, some of
them "the" vilest of the "vile."
The power of a vOte-it may be true
that one vote will change the whole
complexion Of the government. Hence
the responsibility which rests upon
the individual voter. Your vote is
needed.
Experienced politicians fear nothing
more than over confidence. 1t some
times results in unexpected defeat.
Take nothing for granted. Do not
rely upon your neighbors to elect your
man. Democracy expects every Dem
ocrat to do his duty from this till the
polls close en- the 4th of November.
A private poll taken Wednesday in
New York gives Odell $500 plurality.

sistent one. BY untiring efforts, by
ability OF the highest order, and faith
ful performance or the duties entrusted
TO him, he has won this high estimate
in the eyes OF his associates. In the
councils OF the House he always takes
q prominent part, while In the councils
OF his party he occupies n front seat.
This Is no better Illustrated than by the
fact, that when the Democrats had but
one position 10 give Virginia on the
Democratic Congressional Committee
Mr.. Rhea was the one who was given
the position. The people OF the Ninth
District OF Virginia, have been as well
represented I'm Congress when they
entrusted that duty TO Judge Rhea, as
any other District In the United Suites,
and the greatest sacrifice OF their own
interest they could make In this Cam
paign, would be TO defeat him for re-
election. Let every Democrat In the
Ninth District, and every man who
would see his District well represent
ed, do their duty on election day, and
Judge Rhea will go back to Congress
and help to regain for Virginia her old
time ascendency in national politics.

Tom JOhnson's CAMPAIGN

Tom Johnson has made an impression
on Ohio, and derseves credid for a cam
paign that has frightened the Repubh-
cans. The prevailing opinion outside Of
Ohio that Tom Johnson's methods
would gain for him the enmity of con-
servative business men in his State.
and place him in the class of agitators,
is declared to be erroneous. The pecu-
liar condition is presented in his home
county, Cuyahoga, of business men and
laboring men shouting and working for
him. Business men do not fear him, be-
cause they say he is honest and is not
a demagogue. They say his wealth an6
his business ability demonstrate that
he is not the kind of man to do any
thing that would endanger business
conditions. Johnson has spoken at
comparatively few places in Ohio, but
wherever he has pitched his big tent
and raised his voice there has been fun
in the air and the Democrats have been
hot after the scalps of their Republican
friends. Apathy may have reigned il
other parts of the State, but not where
Tom Johnsons has held sway.
The support of the Democrat,

The Congressional Campaign OF 1902

Teachers Meeting

About seventy teachers from differ

High School Chapel on yesterday, and
are still In session today. An interest
ing program had been prepared, on
questions relating to school work in
it's various branches, and some very
interesting talks have been made by
the teachers. One (the only one which
we had the pleasure OF hearing) was
by Prof. McISryde, OF Thompson Val
ley High School, on Discipline. He
said that every pupil should be placed
upon his honor. Corporeal punishment
finds no place, as a necessity, in a we'll
governed school. There were different
opinions expressed by other teachers.
