40 ISSUE ~

The Bristol Herald has this To say,
respecting the claims OF the candidates
for nomination for Governor:
However. it is difficult in our esti-
NATION for any Virginia newspaper to
take sides in the present contest, for
the reason that no principles are in
volved. The only issue is the personal
ambition Of the gentlemen who are
striving for the different Offices. -
Upon calm and mature reflection
does our contemporary think the ex-
act condition is stated in the above =?
Ii this is the case, which we do not be-
lieve, then this campaign is one Of the
most unique known in Virginia Here
are three Democratic candidates for
Governor, and no issue whatever
only personal ambition" We had un-
derstood all along that at least one of
the candidates stood, out and out for a
distinct and clear-cut issue in
which a very large number OF Virginia
people are deeply interested.

NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICS.
Bristol Herald.)

In line with many readers Of news
papers which resolve to be absolutely
fair between candidates for public office,
subscriber 10 the Lynchburg News
writes that paper Il caustic letter in
which he accuses il OF unfairness to-
wards Judge Mann, candidate for
the Democratic gubernatorial nominal
ton. Such is the fate of every paper
which strives TO assume an indepen-
dent attitude and TO treat all candidates
with impartiality. The friends of
every candidate think that their favor
lite is getting cold deal, and nothing
that can be said pleases them. How
ever, it is difficult in our estimation for
any Virginia newspaper to take sides
in the present contest for the reason
that no principles are involved. The
only issue is the personal ambition of
the gentlemen who are striving for the
different offices. This ambition is Der.
fectly proper and indeed very laudable.
but there is no reason why any indi.
vidual citizen should get excited or
tear his shirt for anyone of them.
Practically all the leading newspapers
Of the State fully realize this and are
striving TO be absolutely impartial.
with the result that they are accused
OF unfairness by the friends Of every
single candidate now before the people

BETWEEN MANN AND SWANSON.

In its issue of the 9th instant, the
Bristol Herald has the following con-
corning the gubernatorial race:
"1he race for Governor OF Virginia
is between Mann and Swanson" is the
statement made yesterday by one OF
the wisest politicians in Southwest
Virginia, a man who keeps his ear to
the ground at all times, and one who
is in position 10 notice every change
in the sentiment Of the people of the
great Southwest.
1t is true that in the gubernatorial
race in the Old Dominion Judge Mann
is now the most conspicuous figure,
not only by reason of the principle he
represents but because Of the remark
able strength he has developed in all
parts OF the state since the beginning
OF his campaign, which he entered not
recognized as factor in the race 10y
either politicians or press. In Bristol
Judge Mann has developed much
strength and it is said by his supper
tiers here that he will carry the town in
the primary election il he can arrange
TO make another visit to the city.
Mr.. Swanson's friends do not regard
this optimistic claim Of Judge Mann's
friends as possibility.

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist OF our day,
NJ. Metschnikof, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
These policemen which are called phdg0-
Cyl<S look out for the poxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out Of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood cell policemen. the DhGR0cyfes,
and we enjoy immunity from disease SD

cytes and red blood corpuscies.

Not having seen anything in the c.
