THE RLECfIOx.

From reports 50 far received
il il thought that the drainag
amendment has been defeated b!
. large majority.
All the nominees Of the Demo
cratic primary in Florida have
been elected, with the exception
Of John Graham, nominee for tn
Legislature from Manatee county
who was beaten by the Socialist
candidate.
In New York State, Hughes,
Republican. has been elected Gov
ernor by 5O.OO0 majority; ell the
other Democratic and Independ-
ence League nominees in that
state were elected.
The Democrats have gained ~
or 30 members Of the House Of
representative.
While the drainage amendment
to the constitution has been de-
feated. this will only have the ef-
feet % keeping the Law out Of the
constitutional is already in the
statutes-and the Governor will
undoubtedly continue the drain
age operations under the present
Law, unless the Legislature should
rescind the law.
THE News fought for what il
thought-and still thinks-right
and just, and has no apologies g.
offer. If the railroads had kept
hands off, the drainage amend
ment would have carried by an
immense majority. The defeat
Of the amendment shows that the
railroads have great power in this
State, and will use the power 20
save their pocketboOks. The
defeat Of the amendment is q
great victory for the railroads,
and especially for the Florida
East Coast Railway.

of Wythe County, is not worthy to vote,
because he has failed to pay his poll
taxes. The Confederate soldier is not
exempt from the payment of his poll
tax, but he is exempt from its payment
as a prerequisite to voting. Judge Will
liams has not lost his right to vote,
thanks to his being a Confederate SOL
der for a brief while, but he has not
discharged the duties of citizenship as
he has demanded they should be dis
charged by other good but poor men,
who have lost the right to vote because
they were not fortunate enough to have
been a Confederate soldier.
We deny any malicious desire or in
tention, by this or our former publica-
ton, to injure Mr.. Williams or Mr..
Bruce. Our purpose then, as it isnow,
was to emphasize the gross injustice
and unmeasured dishonesty Of the pres
ent poll tax qualification for voting in
Virginia; and to make more conspicuous
the insincerity of that class of poll
ticians who preach high standard OF
citizenship and political morality, but
who fail to make their own lives and
acts conform to the exalted standard
they erect for others. That Judge
Williams belongs to this class is evi-
denced by the above exhibits from the
records of Wythe County.
Judge Williams grows very indignant
over simple charge of possible dis
franchisement, but artfully presents a
plea of avoidance and concealment to
the more serious charge of delinquency,
by offering as evidence only a part OF
the records of Wythe County that apply
to his case. He is not disfranchised, it
is true, but that he is shamefully delin-
quent is also true. His suffrage is not
preserved by the conscientious discharge
of a high civic duty, but through his
selfish availment of a charity, benevo-
lent exemption extended for the relief
of poor Confederate Soldiers. His son
preserved his suffrage by removal from
the State. Do worthy citizens preserve
their right to vote in these ways? Not
SO. if the heretofore teachings and asser-
tions Of Judge Williams are correct

friends of Bruce confidently claimed
that he would carry Big Stone Gap,
Colonel Slemp's precinct, Wise, Bruce's
precinct, and the county of Wise by a
good majority. Now they concede the
county to Slemp by four hundred ma
jority.
We make this prediction upon autho-
rity and information from men who
know: Colonel Slemp will beat Bruce
at Wise precinct by large majority, at
Big Stone Gap by a good majority, will
carry Wise county by quite as large
majority as he got two years ago, and
he will carry nearly every precinct in
the county. Bruce is simply not in the
race down there.

NOT DISFRANCnISED
BUT DELINQUENT.

In our issue of last week we publish
ed short paragraph in which we stat
ed that we had heard that Judge Sam
uel W. Williams and his son had not
paid their poll tax for 1905, and that
Judge Williams could not vote for Mr..
Bruce, because he was disfranchised.
After the publication of that paragraph
we recalled the fact that Judge Will
liams was an ex-Confederate soldier,
and. as such, exempt from the poll tax
qualification for voting. And we pre-
pared and had printed on the second
page of this issue another paragraph,
which can there be found by persons In
terested, stating that Judge Williams
was Confederate soldier, and, as such,
exempt from the poll tax prerequisite.
Since the printing Of this last
paragraph we have received letter
from Judge Williams in which he says;
II preferred to register and vote as a
Confederate soldier. My only other son
old enough to vote is Robert W. Viii
liams. who has been a citizen of Blue
field, w. Va, since the first of last jan
uary, and, consequently, not voter in
this State. The publication in your
paper was without any sort Of decent
excuse or Justification, and was evil
dently inspired by the malicious desire
to injure me and also to prejudice the
candidacy of Mr.. Bruce"
This statement from Judge Williams
was preceded by the following:
al herewith enclose you certificate
from Mr.. Jno. r. Honaker, the gentle
manly Republican Clerk of this county,
which is as follows:
Virginia,
In the Clerks Office of Wythe County
l, ]. R. Honaker, Clerk of the Cir
cult Court, do hereby certify that the
records of my Office show that Judge
Sam'l W. Williams is duly registered
voter at Reed Creek in the town o.
WytheviIle, as exempt from the pay
ment of poll tax as prerequisite to
voting.
And that the records also show that
SamT w. Williams, Jr., is on the duly
certified list Of voters returned to this

AT TAZEWELL.

On Saturday morning an eager throng
of the citizens of Tazewell county be-
gan to gather in town and the crowd
was considerably increased by a special
train which came from Honaker, bring
ing a goodly number of persons from
Russell and the west end of this county.
The 1915 train brought Mr.. Dobson,
who was accompanied by Colonel Slemp
and Mr.. c. B. Slemp. These gentle
men held a brief reception in their
rooms at the Ratliff FHotel. About
eleven o'clock, the hour announced for
the speaking, they were conducted to
the courthouse, where they found one OF
the largest crowds that ever assembled
at political speaking in'TNzewell. The
courtroom, hallway and law library
room were literally packed with people,
voters, and hundreds were unable to
get in.
The meeting was called to order and
Hon. 3. P. Gillespie arose to introduce
the speaker. He spoke for nearly half
an hour, discussing very forcibly some
of the important State issues, especial
ly the suffrage question and honest cleo
tions. He then introduced Mr.. Dobson
to the splendid audience, composed Of
the manhood of Tazewell and Russell
counties.
No such telling, instructive and heart
stirring speech had ever before been
heard in Tazewell. From the beginning
to the end, for period of one and three
quarters of an hour, Mr.. Dobson charm
ed and delighted the audience, even
Democrats declaring it to be the best
speech they ever heard in their lives.
His theme was our policies of govern
ment and the fruits they have borne, as
shown under Republican and Demo
cratic administrations. Having been
born and reared to early manhood in
free trade countries, and having spent
the last forty years under Protection in
this country, he was better qualified to
speak to our people about the merits OF
Protection and Free Trade than anyone
to whom they had ever listened. His
arguments in support of Republican
policies and practices were strong,
pleasing and unanswerable, and his mel
low, Irish voice was delight to all who
listened.
When Mr.. Dobson had concluded the
crowd called for Colonel Slemp; anC

]. R. HONAKER,
H1orly


But Judge Williams did not procure
from the gentlemanly Republican Clerk
of Wythe county the other following
certificate, to which we call the careful
attention of those who may think we in
tended to maliciously injure Mr.. Will
liams. 1t is as follows:
Virginia,
Wythe County, to-wit:
In the Clerks Office of the Circuit
Court of said County: l, Jno. R. Ho-
maker, Clerk of the Circuit Court of said
County, hereby certify, that the Delin-
quent Insolvent Capitation and Proper
ty List returned to my Office on Sept. 4
1906, by the Treasurer of said County,
shows that Judge S. W. Williams, and
his son Robt. W. Williams, are both re-
turned delinquent for the non-payment
of their Capitation Taxes for the year
1905.
Clerk.
So, it seems that Judge Williams has
contented himself with registering and
voting as a Confederate soldier. He
has not been eager TO discharge his
duties as a citizen by paying his poll
taxes and helping to swell the fund set
apart for the support of the Public
Schools. And his son, Robert, the one
our first publication referred to, though
not exempt as Confederate soldier,
left the State without paying his poll
tax, which was due and payable
before his departure; and father
and son have both allowed themselves
to be returned as delinquent upon the
Delinquent Insolvent Capitation and
Property List" which was returned to
the clerks office of Wythe county on
Sept. 4th, 1906.
We have been told that Judge Will
liams has been declaring on the stump
that no man who failed to pay his poll
tax was worthy of the right to vote,
and ought to be disfranchised. Ifthese
reports be true, then, Judge Williams.

If you are Republican and have re-

you have been reported to him as doubt
full or one who has "an inclination to
vote for Bruce" That personal letter
is sharp trick to gull'you into voting
for the Democratic candidate, and is an
insult to your intelligence and moral
worth.

AT NARROWS.

Mr.. Dobson made his first speech in
the District at Narrows, in Giles Co., ,on
Friday night; and he was greeted by
the largest crowd that ever assembled
in that county at night meeting. The
largest building that could be secured III
the town was packed with eager and
enthusiastic men who wanted to listen
to the glorious doctrines of Republi-
canism and show their determination to
elect Colonel Slemp to Congress again.
There were two hundred or more per-
sons who could notget in the house and
the crowd was estimated to number not
less than six hundred souls. From those
who were present we learn that Mr.
Dobson made great speech, and kind
led into living flame the spirit of Re-
publicanism in Giles county, which
the Democrats have been claiming as
their stronghold.

campaign tours ever made in this sec
ton of Virginia was the whirlwind cam
paign made by Hon. Geo. L. Dobson, of
Iowa, who made four speeches in the
Ninth District on last Friday and Satur-
day. He had been sent to our people by
the National Committee, and came with
the reputation of being one of the best

Editor Tazewell Republican.
Dear Sir:
have just read an article in your pa
per, the last issue, in regard to the cleo
tion returns of Buchanan county being
changed in the year Of 1902. beg to
call your attention to the fact that you
have not quoted it correctly. / want
the man that did the work on the re-
turns to have credit of doing more than
the paper has shown, as he, let him be
whoever he was, has shown willing
hand. You will note that Rhea carried
the county by twenty-five majority, ac-
cording to the certificate when deliver
ed to the Clerk, Dennis; and when it
reached Richmond it had been changed
so as to read one hundred and tweaty .fUe
majority, making change of one hun
dred, instead of seventy-fve.
Please make this correction in this
