ANOTHER FAKE Letter.

So that letter published in the Bris-
tol Herald as coming from an old Re-
publican at Marion, Va, has been
proved fake. 1t was claimed that a
man who was sixty-eight years old and
a lifelong Republican had written the
letter, and announced his purpose not
to vote for Colonel Slemp. R. A. An
derson, editor of the Marion News, in
vestigated the matter, and the Herald
furnished the name of the supposed
writer. No such man, as named, ever
lived at Marion, or in Smyth county.
In fact no such man has ever lived any
where.
This incident is very similar to the
Henry Baker letter which the Demo
cratic press in Virginia published with
such guSto IN l9O4 TO try TO lnJure Fres-
ident Roosevelt. Even when the Baker
letter had been proven fake, some of
the Democratic papers still tried to use
it against Mr.. Roosevelt, and none, so
far as we remember, were fair enough
to publish the fact that the letter was
not genuine or retract what they had
said about it.
Will the Democratic press pursue the
same course in connection with the
Marion letter, or will they stick to the
fake game?

WE MusT HOLD IT.

The Republicans of the Ninth District
have gained control of it by the most
persistent work. There has never been
time during the past twenty-five years
that the Ninth was not truly Republi-
can, with fairly administered elections.
But great difficulties had to be over
come before success for the party was
well established four years ago. A cor
rupt Democratic ring had charge of the
election machinery; and under the direc-
ton of w. D. Smith and other satellites
of ]. Taylor Ellyson the foulest crimes
had been practiced upon the ballot box.
Every device that wicked minds could
invent was employed to destroy a Re-
publican majority and obtain seat in
Congress for the Democrats.
-Four years ago, through careful organ

ization and inspired with disgust for the
treacherous conduct of the Democracy
in the making of new constitution, the
Republicans were rallied under the ban
ner of Colonel Slemp and won victory
over Rheaism. This inspired our peo-
pie with new hope, and the party has
ever since been growing stronger.
The success of 1902 was followed by a
more decisive one in 1904; and in 1905,
last year, the Republicans of the dis
trict won the most telling victory that
has ever been passed to their credit With
local contests in all the fourteen coun-
ties of the district, when a member of
the General Assembly and clerk for
each county had to be elected, the Re-
publicans succeeded in carrying all these
counties, except three, and with an ag-
gregate majority of over two thousand
votes. No more certain test could have
been made of the strength of the party
than this. In each county the Demo
Gratis selected the strongest men they
could find as their candidates for the
House of Delegates, for the State Sen
ate, or for County Clerk. In this way
thew made the contest test Of personal
as we'll as political strength.
Our friends, the enemy, were never
more aggrieved by the results of any
political fight than that of 1905 in this
Congressional district. They were fore
ed to surrender in eleven of the four
teen counties their strongest citadels, the
county clerk s offices, to the Republicans;
and, in anticipation, they could see other
important county Offices passing to the
control of their Republican foes. 1t is
this anticipation, in large measure,
that is causing the Democrats of the
district to make such desperate effort
to recover their lost ground. 1t is not
so much desire to elect Robert Bruce
to Congress as it is a wish to control the
situation for next year, when County
Treasures, Commonwealth Attorneys
and Sheriffs are to be elected. The
local Democrats are full of wrath at the
prospect of giving up these luscious
plums; and it stands the Republicans
well in hand to keep united front so
that they can take them from the
enemy in 1907. Let US not only hold
fast to what we now have in the district
but pave the way for further victories
in the way of securing county offices in
1907.

BRYAN's PLATFORM.
New York "world" (Dem.)

How can man who pretends to OPP
pose Capitalization and to favor individ-
ualism advocate in cold blood such leap
toward State socialism as would be in
volved, in the National Governments
owning and managing all the trunk-line
railways and the various States owning
and managing all the other railroads
within their borders?
How can man who pretends to OPP
pose Capitalization ask that President
be empowered to suspend tariff laws?
How can a man who pretends to OPP
pose Capitalization insist that all corpo-
rations engaged in interstate commerce
be licensed by the Federal Government
and wear tag issued by the executive
department thereof?
How can man who pretends to OPP
pose Capitalization urge that the execu-
tive department be authorized to deprive
a corporation of all use of the United
States mails or of telegraph and railway
lines because it is charged with being a
trust or monopoly?
How can a man who still pretends to
be individualistic insist not only on an
eight-hour working-day by law but on
compulsory arbitration of all labor dis
putes, even though the arbitration tri-
bunal be denied power to enforce its de-
crees? And how can he assert that the
writ of injunction against strikers or
against anybody else is denying trial
by jury to -earners?" All this is
sheer Gomperism and unworthy of the
leader of great party.

If Mr.. Bruce is half as good man as
his Democratic friends claim him to be,
he will not train under such men as j.
Taylor Ellyson and W. D. Smith. Both
of these persons are known promoters of
ballot box frauds and tainted with all
kinds of political crimes. If Mr.. Bruce
allows these men to counsel him during
his campaign he can no longer claim to
be pure and honorable in politics.

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM

'ssThe 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 exemplifed 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 a triumphant vic
tory at the November election.
''Third. We believe in a prj less
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 a so-calIed 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 a 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-
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 tc
redeem the State from Democratic mis-
rule; and for the high plane on which
they conducted the last Republican CUB
ernatorial campaign"

When Mr.. Bruce comes to you and
asks you to vote for him, ask him if he
is for protective tariff. Ask him if
he is for putting coal, iron ore, lumber,
wool and all raw materials on the free
list. That is the position Of Mr. Bryan,
and the Bristol convention pledged the
Democracy of the Ninth District to Mr..
BRYAN for the Presidency in 1903.

How many of the Democrats of the
Ninth District who are successful bust
ness men or intelligent working men
want any change in the business condi-
tons of the country? You can't find
one; but still a great many such Demo
Gratis viii become the slaves of preju-
dice and vote against their interests in
the November election. There will be
some, however, who will act with better
judgment.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1906-09-06

We understand that Mr.. Bruce is ask
ing Republicans to throw aside their po-
litical convictions and vote for him be-
cause he is good fellow" This is a
weak plea with which he, the Demo-
cratic candidate, hopes to secure enough
Republican votes to overcome the four
thousand majority that Colonel Slemp
got over the brilliant Wysor.

THE CONIURsRs.

w nCn AaJAOA WIN SWNNN
scented LieutenantG of Virginia,
was addressing the Democratic conven-
ton at Bristol he declared that 'Bruce
is a name to conjure with" Most of his
auditors, no doubt, did not recognize the
real significance of the phrase, Bruce
is name to conjure with. ''They thought
it was pretty sentiment, when, in fact,
Taylor Ellyson was talking shop;and the
words disclosed the trend of thought the
character and trade of the INSCRIPTIONS
political trickster who said them. The
following day the Lynchburg News very
gushingly commented on the remark
and said:
''Thus it has come about, as Hon. J.
Taylor Ellyson happily phrased it at the
Bristol convention that Bruce is name
to coniure with. This is true, superbly
true. For this gallant young chieftain
of our mountain Democracy stands for
high personal worth; he stands as an
exemplar of pure politics. -
When Taylor Ellyson made that re-
mark it is probable he was looking into
the eyes of one w. D. Smith, of "Scott
County Ballot fame, and that the usual
signs of the conjurers and tricksters
passed between those two expert origi-
majors and users of election frauds, who
have won fame and infamy, and who
have been rewarded by their party for
their superior excellence as manipula-
tors of ballots and election returns. If
Mr. Bruce has been standing as an exem-
plar of pure politics, and wishes to re-
tain that honorable position he will have
to disassociate himself from such politi-
cal conjurers and tricksters as j. 7. Ely
son and w. D. Smith. Will he do this?
If so, what hope can he have of making
anything that will even approach sue
cessful contest for Congress in this dis
trict? The only times during the past
sixteen years that the Democrats secur-
ed seat in Congress from the Ninth
District it was obtained by fraud. On
each of these occasions ]. Taylor Ely
son came into the district and opened
his training school of fraud; and he
found w. D. Smith his most apt and
efficient pupil, as was proved by the
"Scott County Ballot" and the other
schemes of fraud charged and proved
against him by Colonel ]. B. Richmond,
while the latter was member of the
Constitutional Convention.
But the Republicans Of the Ninth
serve notice on the conjurers that no
more such tricks as they practiced sue
cessfully in the past will be toleratedin
the future. Any effort to pad registra-
ton lists, to use dishonest ballots, to stuff
ballot boxes, or to tamper with election
returns will be met with stern resistance
from the Republicans and bring severe
punishment to those who attempt such
practices.
If Mr.. Bruce is relying upon the con-
jurers and their oft-repeated tricks to
aid him in overcoming the four thousand
Republican majority in the district he
may as well cast aside any hope he has
of going to Congress. If he is not rely
ing on the conjurers, on what does he
base his hopes of success?
