anan county give the party that
caused these terrible conditions vote
of confidence.
The proud and independent Republi-
can voters of Buchanan county will re-
member the cries of the great American
people in 1897, when the Republican
party found itself in complete control
of both branches of Congress, with a
man of their choice and faith in the
White House, and they remember that
that cry was for such legislation as
would bring back good times. They also
we'll remember that the Democratic
leader, Mr.. Bailey, in opposing the Ding
ley bill, the passage Of which, by Re
publican Congress, brought so much
happiness to our people and prosperity
to this country, said: "Mr. Speaker,
there is just one question in the minds
of the American people and that one
question is prosperity. The party that
brings prosperity can have a vote of
confidence. The party that fails to
bring prosperity is certain to encounter
a vote of want of confidence. That is
the supreme issue-prosperity. lfyou
bring it, the country will credit you for
your good service. lfyou demonstrate,
as demonstrate you will, that high
protective tariff under the gold stan
dard will not bring prosperity, will
stake my political fortune on the propo-
sitiOn that the American people will
then vote to restore Bimetallism as the
only means of restoring prosperity to
this country" remember that that
prophecy of the Democratic party, by
it's leader, made nearly ten years ago
has rot come true, but in it's stead there
are displayed in the sky all over this
broad land the signs. "All kinds of work
for all kinds of men," And the Repub-
licans of Buchanan county, on the 9Th
day of November, 1906, will do as Mr..
Bailey said-they will give the party
that brought the prosperity vote Of
confidence and deposit that vote for
Colonel Slemp.
The Democratic newspapers that are
trying to'catch'the citizens of Buchanan
county by the statement that Bob Bruce
defended the interest of the citizens OF
Buchanan county, when the "nefarious
land-grabber sought, by underhanded
methods. to take almost the whole Of
that county from them" would do as
much good for Bruce by using their
space in telling the' people of Buchanan
county how Bob Bruce managed and
manipulated the machine and fight that
unseated Joe Hibbits, worthy citizen
of Buchanan county, who had been
elected by the honest vote of his people
to the Legislature Of Virginia. The
Democrats may forget this favoritism
of Mr.. Bruce, but assure you that the
Republicans of Buchanan will not, and
that they will show that they have not
forgotten it by - sir votes at the com
ing election. ~
That Democratic father, whose son
was refused the right Of Virginia citi-
zen when he applied for registration at
Grundy on the 9Th inst, notwithstand-
ing that he had been horn and raised IN
the county of Buchanan~the right to
register and vote, would say would
not forget that Bob Bruce was afraid to
submit that damnable constitution that
disfranchised his son to the people OF
Virginia for their approval or reJec-
ton.
The Republicans of Buchanan county
know that the Democrats claim that the
"Question involved in the coming cam
paign is not one of party principals, "
and we, therefore, would like to know
what the issues Of the present campaign
are. The Democrats have not. so far,
shown themselves in Buchanan county,
so that intelligent people could tell what
they are for. But such campaigns as
this make the Republicans look out for
the ballot box and election returns, and
recalls to their minds that ballot boxes
have disappeared and that election re-
turns, after having been certified, have
grown 100 in one nights time. If the
Democrats recognize and admit the
suficiency of the principals of the Re-
publican party, the Republicans will
certainly do so, and let good enough
alone, and cast their votes for the he
publican party and Col. slemp.
The latest report in Buchanan county
is that several good citizens, who have
been Democrats all their lives, have be-
come convinced Of the wisdom Of the
leaders of the Republican party and the
soundness Of its principals and policies,
and have denounced the Democratic cor
ruption existing among the Democratic
officials of Buchanan county, and have
declared their allegiance to the Repub-
lican party, and will vote for Colonel
Slemp.
