EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Let the Republicans of Tazewell
county vote solid ticket. They have
as clean and good men as have ever
come before the people.
The Republicans of Tazewell should
win one of their most glorious victories
this year. Stand to your colors Repub
licans of Tazewell county.
The lives Of R. Walter Dickinson
and J. Powell Royal tell the temper
ance people where these men stand and
will stand. Now, Mr.. Temperance
Man what are you going to do?
Vote for R. Walter Dickinson for the
Senate. He has been true champion
of the rights of the people, and true
and brave Republican. Let no Repub-
lican of Tazewell county fail to vote
for him on the 7th of November.
If Mr.. Graham did vote for j. Powell
Royal for the House of Delegates and
Colonel Slemp for Congress, why is he
now lending himself to the party that is
opposed to everything that Republicans
stand for? He is the candidate of the
party which is the enemy of everything
the Republican party endorses. That
is enough for the staunch, and true Re-
publicans of Tazewell county.
Last year some of the newspapers at
Richmond said that Mr.. Roosevelt
ought not to receive any social courte-
sizes from the people of that city if he
came there. When he did visit that
city recently he received greater ova-
tions from the people than has any man
who has ever been its guest. This
shows what tickle and impulsive ma
lures the Southern people have.
There are numbers of Democrats who
make themselves conspicuous as tenn
perance advocates. These same men
are going to support Claude A. Swanson
who was and is the candidate Of the
liquor dealers for Governor. Such men
may expect to have sincere persons
laugh in their faces when they get up
in the churches and other public places
and talk temperance and anti-saloon
sentiments. They will be looked upon
as hypocrites and justly so.
President Roosevelt's visit to the
Southern States has been a triumphal
march. He left that big stick at home,
and consequently has not only been cor
daily but enthusiastically received by
those Democrats who pretended last
year to have such grave apprehensions
as to his fitness for the Presidency. We
apprehend, however, that should Mr..
Roosevelt ever again be the candidate
of the Republicans that the Southern
Democratic leaders would say as many
mean things about him as they said last
year.
One Democrat says he is opposed to
free books because it is wrong to tax
one man to pay for books for another
mans child. Another Democrat says
he is opposed to giving free books to
the free schools because the State is
not able to furnish them; and still an
other says he is opposed to free books
because he does not want the State to
furnish books to the negro children.
The most of the Democrats, however,
are opposed to free books because the
Republican party is for giving them to
the pupils of the hee schools. The
Richmond Times-Dispatch not great
while ago said the mission of the Dem
ocratic party was to oppose and obstruct
every policy of the Republican party.
That is the record Of the Democratic
party, and it ought to be enough to
show every friend of the free schools
in what direction duty should lead him.
Judge Hundley, who has recently be-
come notorious in Virginia politics by
slandering Judge Lewis, has proven
himself partisan judge. He has just
