The Democratic National Committee
has announced in an official bulletin that
it intends to print and send out 10, ,000,0 900
tons of literature during the present cam
paign. This will be an unheard of feat
aud will require as much paper as is made
in this country in ten years. Besides it
will take $3.50, ,0C0,0 900 to pay for that
amount Of printing and paper. Evidently
the Democratic Committee must have a
very full treasury or it has made great
mistake in Its figures. 1t is no trouble
for that Committee to make mistakes. I,
The National Democratic Committee is
sending out some scandslous literature. 1t
has sent out a lesfet stating that Mr..
Roosevelt in a speech delivered before the
New York Wool Exchange on October q,
1895, said the farmers we're the "basest BET
in the land" The Richmond Times Dis
patch enters its protest against the use Of
such lies and claptrap. 1t shows what
kind of men are in charge of the National
Democratic organization. They are about
on a par with the leaders and newspapers
in Virginia who are trying 10 use the negro
and other false issues to the damage Of Mr.
Roosevelt and the Republican party.
One of the hardships of the new suffrage
law has been brought to light by a case at
Graham in this county. An old veteran
named Garlock had been out of the State
Of Virginia and had not returned two years
prior to the registration in 1908. He had
been soldier in the United States army
prior to 1861, and during the Civil War he
served through the war in The Confeder-
ate army. Recently be applied at Graham
for registration, having been a resident Of
the State for the necessary two years. He
was required 10 fill out bis application for
registration. Unfortunately he was an il
literate man and could not fill bis applica-
tion. He was refused registration.
1t will be remembered that Mr., Wysor in
his speech here not only abused Mr..
Roosevelt as a statesman, but sneered at
him on account Of his record as soldier,
intimallng that Col. Roosevelt had shirked
at the battle of San Juan Hill Senator
Bailey, of Texas, recently spoke at Brook
lyn, N. Y, and said: "If we were seeking a
SOLDIER, would prefer the President over
almost any man now in public life, but as
we are seeking a statesman, would pre-
fer almost any man now in public life over
the President. He would be one of the
best men to lead desperate charge in q
time of war; but be is one ofthe worst men
to administer a great Government in q
time of peace" So, the Joseph hom Texas
differs from the Joseph from Pulaski as to
the military courage and capacity OF the
President. But they agree as to Lis being
a dangerous man in time of peace. We
admit he is, bat be is only dangerous to
Democracy and the other evil doers in
politics He wants to save the country
from the threatened dominance of what is
now called the ''sane Democracy" but
which admits that it wss recently insane,
and has for its candidate for President
a man who acted with the insane Democ-
