POLITICIANS
IN A roo
SITUATION Is BADLY MIXED
DEMOCRATS LIKELY 10
REDUCE REPUBLICAN,
MAJORITY

Washington. Nov. 3.-Politics IL
the principal topic of consideration
among Washington ofiicials. That the
Republicans are uneasy over the situ-
tion is beyond cavil. What may hap
pen at the election on Nov. 6, Is SER
foisly In doubt. From several states
heretofore reliably Republican, have
come messages indicating serious dis
affections. Breaks in party lines will
occur this year that never have occur
red before. What they may portend
1t is impossible now to determine.
The president, himself, has been
told that appeals to party loyalty
are not as effective they have been
heretofore. The people are doing
their own thinking and will act on
election day in accordance with their
own notions. Word from New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and
Ohio is OF the same tenor. The sit
uation Is ugly from n Republican
viewpoint. Government officials
who have been in those States have
eported to the president that the
Republicans are without a militant
organization in them. They frankly
confess that II may mean much.
Meantime the people will do their
own thinking and will act on election
day. in accordance with their own
ideas and their own conscience.

A COLORED EDITOR.
HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT
MERCER COUNTY POLITICS

The Biuefeld ring wants Mercer
county to be lily white. Every dis
honorable avenue sought to this end.
Lincoln Republican party ticket re-
fused a place on ballot because J. T..
Gibbons. colored preacher, is on the
ticket. The ballot commission SO de-
clared.
Thus we are told once again that
the negro Is not a man, but an eter-
nal slave and voter. not for himself,
but for Bosses. The following is
taken from the Daily Telegraph,
Thursday, Oct 25th, the official Or
gan OF the ringsters:
"The ballot commissioners ruled
against the ticket OF the Lincoln
League, an organization OF colored
voters, and IL will not get a place on
the ballot. On this ticket J. r. Glib
bons, colored preacher, was can
didate for house of delegates"
The ballot commission is composed
OF one Democrat and two (2) Repub-
licans. Who ruled against the ticket
OF the Lincoln League? The two (2)
Republican commissioners And why
did they? Because ION this ticket J.
T. Gibbons. a colored preacher. was
a candidate for the house Of delegates
What is our recourse? Vote the
Democratic ticket on the 9Th OF No
vember, and let the big Four
know that in trying to foil the will OF
the sovereign voters Of this county
whose skins are slightly colored. that
we have manhood enough left TO
wart their future hope? Vote for
the Democratic candidates this time
and you will do honor TO yourself
and unborn generations. and cIothe
yourself in honor and gIory.-BIue-
field Household Record.

mittee OF Mcdowell county. make an
appeal to all good people OF that
county To come out and vote the
democratic ticket of reform on next
Tuesday They are doing good
work and are to be commended for
their efforts To procure better gov
crnmcnt.
In speaking OF the efficiency of Hon.
ID. Il. French we notice the following:
am also Informed that Hon. d.
u. French OF Blueneld. West vir-
ginia, has been selected by n Judicial
Committee from the counties OF Mon
roe. Mercer and Mcdowell, as n can
didate for Circuit Judge. There ID
no Office within to rirt OF the people
OF such vital interest To them as that
Of judge. Tho Judge passes upon the
differences which arise in the affairs
OF men, IL that Judge could be in
formed by mercenary motives or
personal interest. the strong would
always win while the weak would. al
ways lose.
In commencing Mr.. French. do 80
with n personal knowledge OF his In
iogrity and his ability. and I believe
should he be elected, which IL not an
improbability. that he will serve you
Justly and fairly. with credit To him
self and with the best feelings from
all the people on whose interests he
may have the opportunity TO pass.

BRYAN MAKES
REPLY TO TAFT.
DECLARES THAT WAR SECIsE.
TARY CONDEMNED THE
TRUSTS BUT OFFERED
NO REMEDY.

Omaha. Nov. 3.--William J. Bry-
an spoke here tonight to n great
crowd. Former Congressman G.. M.
Hitchcock and Ed. p. Smith OF Oma-
ha preceded Bryan with addresses.
Bryan referred to the speech made
by Secretary Taft at Omaha Wednes.
dy night. He pointed out that while
recognizing the importance OF the
trust question Taft had presented no
remedy.
He ridiculed Bonaparte's sugges-
ton that the important thing to do
wgs to keep the big trusts from
crowding OFT the little ones. the sec
retary having compared big trusts
TO hogs that crowded little one away
from the trough. Bryan said he was
reminded of the lady who was trying
TO impress upon her little boy the
sufferings Of Christian martyrs by
showing him a picture of lions de-
youring the Christians.
The boy looked Mt the picture n
moment and then pointed TO one I'm
the corner and said: "Why there is
one poor little lion that is not get.
ting a bit"
He characterized Taft as the So
lected successor OF President Roose.
welt but charged that though the
secretary had, been exposed TO all
the reforms which the President ad-
vocated he had not caught any of
them.
He characterized the secretary's
speech as a defense OF the trusts and
an apology OF them, saying the only
warmth the secretary manifested was
when he said that they should be reg
ulated rather than destroyed
Bryan was made q familiar argu-
ment In favor OF prohibition OF pri-
yate monopoly as substitute for the
regular one. He also discussed Taft's
remarks upon the Philippine ones
tion and accused him Of asserting doc
trines antagonistic TO the declara-
tion Of independence and the ideas of

HE DIDN'T BUY.

knowing the profits being made
here In real estate, a man started
out to buy few lots. He looked at
everything on the market. The lots
he wanted were either too far out, or
IL they were close enough I'm, they
were too high. He hasn't bought yet,
and probably never will. What he
wants to buy is an ideal--not real
estate. While he is seeking for some
thing that doesn't exist, prices are
constantly advancing, and profits are
being made.

sLEMP HAS TROUBLE
In THE TWON OF NORTON AND
BLAMES CITIZENSHIP

The Norton Free Press explains
an unpleasant episode In which Col.
Slemp prominently figured:
We regret that few drunken
toughs went so far In their delirious
enthusiasm here Saturday night as to
disgracefully disturb the speech-mak-
ing. And especially to we want the
fact known that Norton was not re-
sponsible for the disorder, as was
charged by Col. Slemp In his intro
ducing Mr.. Dobson. The unfortunate
affair was caused by few dissolute
fellows imported In here in the
special trains operated in the candi-
dates behalf.
1t was an insult to the town and
Its citizens to charge them with hav-
ing come out to create disorder and
to disgrace themselves and the speak
er. But this Is not the most serious
feature. When Col. Slemp brought
forth the allegation and It was re-
sented and denied by a citizen of the
town, instead of apologizing as he
should have done, he reiterated the
charge and fastened the blame on
Norton and there 1t lies. Col slemp
had no grounds for saying any such
thing. He has spoken here several
times and we do not hesitate TO say
that he has been as respectfully
herd as anywhere in the District. II
is true that there is n good deal OF
opposition to Col. Slemp here, posi-.
bly, more now than there has ever
been. but the OPPOSITION comes from
the best element OF our citizenship
and that is composed OF men who will
not kick up a row Just because they
do not like a man. They have too
much respect for themselves.
Col slemp owes II to the town "a
retract what he has said and to do II
at once.

FINANCIAL MATTERS
STATEMENT BY ALFRED
FARIIOw.

Alfred Farlow of Boston. head OF
the Christian science publication bu.
reau. last night issued a statemen,
concerning the financial Affairs OF
Mrs. Mary Baker c.. Eddy. The
statement Is In part as follows:
The New York World OF today
publishes the following statement:
The World is in a position to say
positively that Boston lawyers were
today consulted by fair-minded Chris
tian scientists who were convinced OF
Mrs. Eddy's collapse. and will force
Calvin A. Frye and others In actual
control OF Mrs. Eddy, to tell what
has become OF her big fortune. esti.

have just returned from Mrs
Eddy's home and am pleased to In
form the World that she is well
and happy and is at her desk. giving
instructions to her secretary, Mr..
Frye. and conducting her own af.
fairs. The church has nothing what
ever to do with Mrs. Eddy's fortune,
whether II be large or small. 1t is
her own property and sonsists OF a
legitimate wage for her services as n
teacher OF Christian science and the
legitimate profits on her books. Mrs.
Eddy Is not trustee for any church
funds and therefore has no account
ing to render to Christian scientists.
The church has no Jurisdiction over
her private holdings and therefore no
more right to know what disposition
she makes OF them than they have
to inquire about the private affairs
or any other citizen.
Even n casual observer with a
slight knowledge OF arithmetic can
readily estimate that It is impossible
for Mrs. Eddy to be a millionaire. I
hold In my possession an affidavit
made by Edward l.. Pride, the audi
tor OF the books of the Christian
science church, which states that Mrs.
Eddy had never received any money
from the Christian science church
with the exception OF $4,000 which
was rendered her by the directors OF
the church for services rendered
during the erection of the extension
OF the mother church In Boston. Mr.
Pride is well-known business man
and Is not a Christian scientist. Nc
Boston lawyers or any other lawyers
have been consulted by Christian
scientists with reference 10 inter.
fering with the duties and accom-.
plishments OF Mrs. Eddy's faithful
secretary, nor has there been any
talk of such an action, nor any oc-
casion for talk on the subject.
