true and a deeper reason for the pres

take hold upon the people, and make
for cleaner, better business methods;
should make for unselfishness and for
a higher ideal in business life.

A special congressional election will
be held December II in the Ninth
district of Virginia. for the purpose of
naming a successor to the late Col
Campbell Slemp. Col Slemp was the
only republican member of the Virgin

strong fight to wrest the district from
the republicans and send a full dele
CATION to Washington.
Though it may seem strange at
the present time, no city Of the coun-
try has entertained so many national
political conventions as Baltimore. In
1892 the first national conventions
were held by American political par
ties. and it is a striking proof of the
central location of Baltimore at that
time that the three conventions of
that year were held in that city. The
last convention held in Baltimore was
in 1872. when the democrats met
there and nominated Horace Greedy.
Philadelphia has had but four OF
the larger national political conven-
tons. The Wings met there in 1S4S.
and the republicans in 1856. the first
year they had a presidential ticket in
the field. Then came a long interval,
the republicans meeting there in 1872
to renominate Grant. The last Phila-
delphia convention was the republican
