REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM

1.-THE Republicans of the Ninth Con-
gressional district of Virginia, in con-
vention assembled at Marion, Va, on
the Goth day of June. 1906, make the
following declarations:
First. We declare our unalterable
devotion to and confidence in the prin-
ciples and policies of the national Re-
publican party as heretofore set forth
in its platforms and exemplified by the
splendid administrations of William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt. And
we hereby express. our admiration for
the devotion to duty and supreme pa
triotism which have inspired President
Roosevelt in his efforts to elevate
American citizenship and uphold the
rights of the people.
"Second. We endorse the record and
work of our representative in Congress,
the Hon. Campbell Slemp, and assert
without fear of successful contradiction
that no more faithful and efficient rep
resentative has ever represented the
people Of this district in the national
House of Representatives. And should
it be the will of this convention that he
again carry the flag of the party in this
district, we pledge him our united sup
port and promise him triumphant vic
tory at the November election.
"Third. We believe in priceless
ballot, and so believing, most heartily
condemn the detestable, partisan suf-
frage and registration laws that have
been treacherously fastened upon the
people of Virginia by the Virginia De-
mocracy. By the adoption and applica-
ton of the poll-tax qualification, both
as prerequisite to registration and vot-
ing, and by so-called educational quail
ification for registration many thousands
of worthy citizens in this district and
throughout the State have been de-
prived of the most sacred of rights
the right to vote-and are forced to
bear heavy share of the burdens of
taxation without being allowed to have
any share in representation. The Re-
publicans in this district hereby declare
that they will not cease to condemn and
contest these iniquitous suffrage laws
until non-partisan and priceless ballot
is again restored to the people.
Fourth. We appeal to the people of
the Ninth Congressional district, with
out regard to former party affiliations,
to unite with US and elect as our repre-
sentative in Congress man who en-
dorses and stands with the financial and
economic policies that have been and
are now developing the mineral, agri-
cultural and other resources of our sec
ton of Virginia, that have brought
prosperity and happiness to all classes
of our people, and that have made US,
not only the greatest producing, but
the greatest consuming nation of the
world.
Fifth. We condemn the action of
the last Democratic Legislature of Vir-I
ginia for taking from the people of this
State the right to elect their commits,
sioners of revenue.
"Sixth. We heartily endorse the ac-
ton of our State chairman and State
committee in their untiring efforts to
redeem the State from Democratic mis-
rule; and for the high plane on which
they conducted the last Republican CUB
ernatorial campaign"

The only possible purpose the Demo
Gratis have for wishing to secure a
majority in the next Congress is that
they may block any future legislation
from Republican standpoint in sup
port of the policies of President RoOse-
welt. 1t is their desire to make the
Presidents efforts to regulate the rail-
roads and introduce any further reforms
into political and business conditions

w. D. Smiths pals had better look out.
The Republicans have them spotted;
and if they try to play any of their
tricks on the ballot boxes and election re-
turns in the Ninth District, punishment
swift and severe will fall upon them.

AN uNTRUTHFuL ACCUSATION.

There recently appeared in the South
west Times, a Democratic newspaper
published at Pulaski, Va, an article
headed, "Odious Politics" 1t was not
printed in the editorial column, and, be-
ing without signature or credit, we are
unable to locate its authorship. The
article in question was written for the
purpose of counteracting the accusa-
tons made by Republicans against the
corrupt and dishonest Democratic or
ganization of the State and of this dis
trict. These accusations the writer OF
"Odious Politics. calls ''dead issues
with which to scare the voters into vot-
ing for Slemp." They are not dead is
sues and will not be dead issues so long
as ]. Taylor Ellyson manages the or
ganization of the party in the State and
w. D. Smith, of ''Scott County Ballot"
notoriety, is identified with the Demo
cratic management in the Ninth Con-
gressional District.
The "odious politics" to which the
writer of that article makes special ref
erence is the election by the Republi-
cans of Scott county of John Catron as
their county chairman. Mr.. "Odious
Politics" says:
''For an instance look at the Repub-
lcan organization in Scott county.
There the Slemps have recently appoint
ed John Catron the county chairman of
the Republican party.
Who is John Catron? He is the man
who murdered two election judges and
shot another in that county two years
ago and was acquitted by a packed
jury"
If the writer of ''Odious Politics" had
desired to state facts he would have
said: "Who is John Catron? He is the
fearless, honest man who killed in self
defense two notorious ballot thieves at
Fairview Precinct, Scott county, Va
men who were placed in charge of the
election there, as they had been before,
by the Democratic managers to steal
the votes of Republicans"
The author of "Odious Politics" might
have truthfully stated that, whereas,
the Republicans of Scott county have
honored John Catron for performing a
righteous deed, the Democrats of Vir-
ginia have rewarded with offices of hon
or and prof; the very men who trained
and directed the ballot thieves to their
death at Fairview Precinct.
That is very serious charge which
the author of "Odious Politics" makes
when he says that John Catron twas
acquitted by packed jury" He was
tried by Democratic Court who sup
piled the lists from which the jury was
drawn, the jury was drawn by Demo
cratic clerk, summoned by Democrat
ic sheriff and tested by Democratic
Judge. Of the twelve jurors who ac-
quilted John Catron of all wrong in
killing the two ballot thieves, six were
of the sterling Democrats of Lee coun-
ty. So the writer of "Odious Politics"
in his eagerness to defame John Catron
and the Republicans of the Ninth Dis
trict has questioned the integrity of a
Democratic court and its officers and of
six Democrats who sat upon the jury
that acquitted Catron. tits an "odious"
bird that is willing to befoul its own
nest in a reckless effort to befoul the
nest of another.

The Story of the KOhfnOOr.

Lord Dalhousie's name will always
be intimately associated with the ia.
NOUS Kohinoor diamond, and the story
of how he brought 1t from India to
England has been retold in recent
book. In 1S49, after the second Sikh
war, Dalhousie confscated the stone on
account of the heavy debt owing the
East India company by the Lahore
state. Dalhousie sent it to Queen Vic
toria. Great care had to be exercised
In carrying it across India. "The tas-
sells of the armlet in which the dia-
mond was set" says the account, chad
been cut off to diminish the bulk, and
Lady Dalhousie had inclosed the arm
Yet with its jewel in leather bag, this
again being sewed into belt lined
with chamo1s leather, which Dalhousie
wore by night and day. Two dogs
were chained to the governor gen
erals camp bed, and no one but his
wife and Captain Ramsay was in the
secret of the Jewels concealment."

This is the autumn rule Of heaitt
which you must observe unless you

throughout the breezy October and No
vember days, according to DR.. Heman
Spalding, chief medical Inspector Of
the city health department of Chicago
1t appears, according to DIR. Spald-
ing, that thorough, long, insistent
roasting is guaranteed to make the
worst dad man" among the germs a
harmless individual Of the mildest ma
ture, says the Chicago Record-Herald
But an unroasted germ is worse than
q reckless chauffeur.
The germs to which DR.. Spalding re-
fers are those which have gathered In
the dark recesses of the furnaces dur
Ing the summer months, and he de-
clares the beat registers should not be
opened until the germs have been roast
ed to crisp brown.
Before e registers are opened
said the doctor the other day, "the heat
should be turned on and allowed to
roast the germs and foreign material
In the pipes. The heat will destroy the
germs and prevent them from entering
the rooms"
If the germs are not roasted they
will mingle in the atmosphere, boasting
their full virility, and will cause throat
coughs of varying degrees OF irrita
ton The principal germs are Of the
staphylococcus and streptococcus vari-
cites. If they are not roasted they are
as bad as their names.

Of the water makes the process more
