WHY We WANT SLeMP.
CONTRIBUTED

Next Tuesday will decide whether the
people are togovern through their regu-
larly chosen representatives or whether
a self-chosen boss is to run things in the
Ninth Congressional District of Vir-
ginia.
1t must be remembered that the Re-
publican Congressional Committee wait
ed decent and reasonable time after
Colonel Slemp's death before they called
the convention, allowing plenty of time
for mass meetings to be called and held.
AT these meetings the voters gathered
and selected their delegates to the con-
vention, instructing many of them but
without coercion of any kind. At the
convention there was opportunity for
the presentation of the name of any one
or more candidates, but it being appa-
rent that Mr.. Slemp was the choice. his
nomination was unanimous. Thus he
he became the peoples candidate. All
of which is a defense of organization
and regularity, if indeed they need any
defense, but it happens that the major
ity of the voters of the Ninth District
not only through the regular system got
the candidate they wanted, but got the
best candidate the district had.
Bascom Slemp is not only popular, but
he is able, and experienced. He is not
only popular and able and experienced.
but he is honest and incorruptihle. He
Will be a credit to the only Republican
District in the Old Dominion, and he
will be the peer of any Representative
sent from this or any other State.
Some people say that Bascom Slemp
never sleeps, but he does. He knows
how to take care of those whose in
terests he represents. When awake he
is wide awake, and certain people at
Washington will get no peace till Slemp
gets what he thinks his District ought
to have. That is just the kind of man
we want for Congressman, and we
should give him a rousing record vote
next Tuesday.
1t may mean triAing sacrifice of time
or convenience, but every good loyal
Republican in every county of this good
old Ninth Virginia Congressional Dis
trict should esteem it a privilege and
honor, as well as a duty, to go to the
polls and vote for Mr.. Slemp next Tues
day.

When writers speak of waves ''moun-
tain high" they are merely INDUCING in
poetic extravaganza. A wave exceed
ing thirty feet in height is seldom en-
countered. Some have been seen on the
Atlantic that reached height of forty
four to forty-eight feet, but that was
entirely exceptional.

Colleges are now regarded as rather
undesirable insurance risks, and it is
probable that the rate will be generally
increased. In eighteen years 7S4 fires

and a heavy loss of life. This makes
the average money loss over $13, 900.

Recently we said that Judge Rhea
was the hidden hand directing the can
didacy of Mr.. Bailey. From certain
outcroppings we were warranted in
making that charge. Now, what is
Judge Rhea's motive? Democrats are
more interested in this question than
are Republicans. There is going to be
a pretty hot contest among the Demo
Gratis of Virginia in the Gubernatorial
primary of 1909. Judge Rhea is the
leader of one faction in the Ninth Dis
trict that will be active in that cam
paign- He is now playing for position
in that fight, and is using Bailey as a
pawn or stool pigeon. Perhaps the
gentlemen who belong to the other
Democratic faction do not see it, but
they will see it in 1909.

picked up and searched. This was
done. but the diamonds were not
found.
The suspect went to central station
with Pond upon his first visit. Pond
had missed a turqoise pin which was
surrounded by diamonds and which he
said was worth 800. At this time he
did not suspect his newly made friend,
and the latter sympathized with him
while he was telling his story to the
chief. The chief promised to go to
the pawn shops and keep watch for
the pin. Pond left, but it was not two
hours until he returned and reported
that his ring. a diamond Of one and

said he had reasons to believe that
his friend had COPIED both and asked
that he be searched.
Lieutenant Smith got the fellow and
searched him, but no diamonds were
