time of going to press, "that the

the Board of Health to all who may
have heretofore considered it a use

Election, Tuesday, Nov. 4th
FOR CONGRESS, LIST District
HON. WILLIAM A. JONES,
OF
RICHrIOND co.

In the conference at the White
House last week over the coal ques'
tion nothing was done in the way OF
a settlement Of the strike or has been
done since, justifyinR the hope that
the ED is near. The operators, in
fact, showed very clearly that they
were not present for the purpose OF
making any concessions or listening
even to any proposition looking to
that end. On the contrary with an
insolence that is incomprehensible,
instead of listening to the President,
they proceeded to lecture him upon
his failure to do his duty and to
point out to him the course he should
pursue for the settlement of the
strike. Their presence, briefly sum-
med mp, was for the purpose only OF
demanding Federal troops, with
which to further Cypress the people,
and failing to convince the President
CT his right to accede to that demand
the conference ended without any.
thing being accomplished. The con-
ference being failure, what can
be done to relieve the suffering
millions, when the winter comes, is
now the question. The operators of
the mines with a contemptuous dis
regard for the sufferings of the PEG
pie have shown that they do not
care. The miners, 1t seems, have
already been oppressed too much to
be willing to give up the fight, with
the prospect Of the greater oppres-
sion they would have to endure, and
need not do so because Of the sup
port, which the whole country in its
sympathy for them and belief in the
justice Of their cause, will give them
The Government, according to the
generally accepted Interpretation of
the Constitution, cannot act in the
matter. 1t remains therefore to be
seen what can be done now, but there
can be nc question what ought to be
done in the future. In this day of
threatened calamity, they cannot
fail to see, that it is due to the. tire
mendous power of the trusts, and
their duty to vote when the oppor-
tunity is again presented with the
party, that will control them and
prevent them from again being at
the mercy Of the profit seekers of
the Coal Trust and others like them

Hon. Park Agnew, chairman of the
Virginia State republican committee
says in reference to State politics
I'VE will have candidates for Con-
gress in eight of the ten districts in
Virginia, and the democrats will find
that there is campaign on. The dis
tr1cts in which we will have no can
dldates are the Fourth and Sixth
and they are hopelessly democratic -
The republican party in Virginia, is
in better shape to-day than it has
been for a long time. President
ROosevelt's Administration has
strengthened Island we are prepared
to put up an earnest, aggressive fight
against the democrats.
Mr.. Agnew, if he had been in posi-
tion to express his honest conviction
OF republican prospects in the State,
instead OF the above would have
given out for publication something
like the following; Teddy told US to
put up eight candidates for Congress
IN the State and in obedience to that
command, and because we want our
share of the 'loaves and fishes,
when the time arrives for distribu
ton, we have done so. Neither of our
candidates Of course can be elected,
because every county in the State is
now "hopelessly democratic" and
never can be otherwise, because the
people suffered too much from the
evils ofrepublicanism during the days
OF Malone, ever to permit the repub-
licans to again obtain control of the
affairs Of the State. And because Re
publican ascendency in the State is a
thing of the past, and as republicans
we can only hope for or expect the
honors and emolumepts which will
fall to us from the continuance of the
republicans in power in National af
fairs, We earnestly pray for the con-
tinued success Of the z. o. %. and for
bigger share of the patronage from
that source than we are entitled to,
because we can get nothing at home.
