President Roosevelt's visit to the

p Padgett, of the Seventh Congressional
district of Tennessee, at the Riggs
House. last evening. Mr. Padgett has
just been renominated after a pretty
lively contest. defeating his opponents
in primary election by a substantial
majority. He is here to receive assign
ments from the Democratic Congress
sional committee to speak in several
close districts during the campaign ear
ly in October. Mr. Padgett is very
forceful speaker. and his services are in
demand by the Democratic committee.
THE people in the Southland have
great respect for the high office of Presi-
dent" remarked Mr.. Padgett. "and nat
urally they turned out in large num-
bers to give warm, hearty welcome 20
the Chief Executive. 1t was not Mr..
Roosevelt's personality that brought
forth the crowds, but 1t was the office
for which he stands. The Democratic
vote In the South will probably he

Tennessee. for at the August election we
carried the State by over $4,000 ma
jority. The next House will surely be

or advocates. In one speech he sug-
gested for remedy. publicity. That
would break up the trusts. In his
speech at Providence, the President
said the way to reach and control the
trusts would be by constitutional
amendment. When in Boston, Mr.. Roose-
welt no longer preached publicity nor
constitutional amendment. but said .he
Massachusetts State antitrust law was
just the thing for the suppression of
trusts, and his last declaration was
that We ought to go slow on the trust
question, as there were good and bad
trusts. The President is certainly

can members running for reelection,
not only in the West, but in the East
1t will be rather difficult for them to
explain why they refused to enact any
antitrust legislation during the seven

cal outlook was favorable to the Demo-

The lessons to be learned from the recent contest.
of rilemen at the meeting of the National Rife Asso
citation and the New Jersey State Rife Association
at Sea Grt Nj. are many and valuable, not only tc
the novice in rife shooting. but to the skilled rifeman
and expert marksman-w whether he be connected
with the army. the Marine Corps, the National Guard
or private citizen.
The authorities of the War Department keenly
alive to the Importance of keeping abreast of the i'm
provements in arms and ammunition, detailed one of
its experts from the ordnance branch of the army to
investigate and report what he witnessed, and it is
hoped for the purpose of gaining information which
might be of use to the department in producing or
introducing improvements both in rifles and amrnl-
milton.
The Ordnance Department may well BE proud of
the wonderful work which accomplished with
its frearm and ammunition up to and including the
mid ranges All previous records left far in the
rear and it is difficult for the imagination to picture
in the Hilton Trophy match which will exceed
that made by the team from the State of New York
The record made the 500yard range by the Dis
trict team, in the Interstate match exceeded that
which was made by the New Jersey team when it es-
tablished its record in 1901 and 1902, averaging

Too Early for Predictions.

Senator Martin of Virginia. who was
at the Raleigh yesterday. did not seem
to be very confident about the political
outlook from Democratic standpoint
In response to question he said the
Democratic Congressional committee
seem to be hopeful, but in his opinion
1t was too early to make predictions.
Speaking of the situation in Virginia
Senator Martin said President Roose-
yelts criticism OF the Southern Repub-
lican organization would probably result
in the Virginia Republicans placing Con-
.gressional tickets in the field, but it
would not help the Republican party
any, and would serve to increase the
Democratic vote. The trusts and the
tariff, he said, were the issues that
were making trouble for the Republi-
cans.
