In 1896 they declared that it was
not lack OF money but lack of
confidence that was needed, when
the per capita OF circulation was
only about half what il Is today.
Mr.. Mckinley was such a good sill
ver man that he sent his commits
sioners to Europe to try TO get the
consent OF the nations o. Europe
to "a double standard.
The enormous discoveries OF gold
removed the silver question from
politics by furnishing large vol
ume OF money per capita, as the
Democrats insisted was necessary
for the needs of business. and the
last congress further endorsed the
Democratic theory OF a larger vol
ume OF money by passing the AL
drich-Vreeland bill providing for
special emergency issues. Consis-
tency. Republicans have no right
to talk. They are today advocating
the same theory the Democrats ad-
yucated in 1S96-the need Of lar
ger volume OF money per capita--,a
theory they repudiatad twelve years
ago
In Mr.. Byars' fifteen minutes re-
joinder he poured hot shot into his
opponent. He made an eloquent
and convincing appeal for the suf-
frages OF the people.
Mr.. Slemp had fifteen minutes
to reply. but some OF his friends
had come there to shout and they
made so much noise that he could
not be heard. There was plenty OF
booze evident on the Republican
side Of the house, and IL spoiled
Mr.. S!emps speech.
The candidates are both polished
gentlemen and treated each other
with the greatest courtesy. Mr..
Slemp is not a match for Mr.. Byars.
however, and he will not meet him
in joint debate in any county
where the Democrats are numeric-
ally strong.
Mr.. and Mrs. Byars spent Satur-
day night in Bluefield. Mr.. Byars
said he would gladly cancel every
appointment he had made IL Mr..
Slenp would agree to meet him IN
joint discussion.

Is the only Republican congressman

party. His statements. therefore
are entitled 10 weight The Dem

necessary for the good OF the

yea ready for tho ballot and should
not have it until ho qualities him

therefore dIsfranchlsed S5 or 90
per cent OF them in Virginia and
propose to do the same thing I'm
West Virginia If they are given the
opportunity. AT Tazewell last Sal-
urday Mr.. Byars demanded OF Mr.
SIemp to say whethrr he was I'm

BY THEIR RECORDS

JUDGED
CAMPAIGN FALsEHooDs BRAND
ED BY VICE CHAIRMAN NEAL.

Parkersburg. w. Va, Oct. g.
The machine Republican newupa-
pers OF the state are publishing q
statement which presumably en-
anates from the headquarters at
Clarksburg. asserting that tho brew
ers and liquor interests supported
Hon, Louis Bennett in HIS cam
paign Tor the Democratic nomina-
tion FOR governor. and that these
same interests are supporting the
Democratic ticket In the state cam.
paiSh now in progress. When
shown one OF these statements to-
day, Hon. Geo. l. Neal, vlce-chair-
man OF the Democratic state COM
mttee, and who was instrumental
IN securing the nomination of Mr..
Bennett made the following state
ment In reply:
want TO be quoted most em-
phatically,' said he. "in brandins
.h'S statement campaign false
hood No brewer nor liquor dealer
over contributed, e.ther directly or
indirectly one penny to aid Louis
BennettG nomination. Neither has
any brewer or liquor dealer ever
contributed directly or indirectly %
the Democratic campaign fund to
aid IN the election OF Mr.. Bennebt
and the Democratic state ticket. In
ooed II Is n matter OF common NO.
toriety' that many of the brewers
and others interested In the IIauor
traffic are openly supporting the
Republican ticket, believing that
they can easily handle the situation
through the manipuIations of the
Republican state machine.
lr the state machine cannot ffnJ
any better employment than to
spread falsehoods about Governor
Bennett they had better shut M
shop and quit the fight.
Il want further to say that this
charge comes with poor grace from
Republican sources. 1t requires q
supreme degree of nerve for them
to claim friendship for and seek al
lance with the temp, rance people.
IN the face OF their record ON the
iquor question, as shown by the
action taken by tho Republican leg
islature few months ago. AT the
extraordinary session OF 1908, the
legislature with n good tw ,-thirds
majority In both houses, refused To
act fayorably upon petition ema-
mating from tho temperance people
and signed by thousands OF West
virginia citizens, asking that the
question OF prohibition. amend
ment to the constitution be submit
ted to vote Of tho people. The
Republican party, in full power in
Doth branches OF the legislature;
with Republican governor. and
with every other official a Repub-
iJcaD, and with every influence AZ
the state house Republican, refused
to grant -he petition or the tsrh-
perance people. and went on REQ
ord as beir" cJICi.d TO the SUBJ
mission OF the question OF prohi-
bitioh 90 a popular vote. Now, In
the face Of this action, the agents
OF the Republican managers seek to
win favor at the hands OF the tenn.
perance element By circulating fsIss
charges, and at the same time they
hope to divert public attention from
their own legislative record.

JOINT DISCUSSION BEFORE A
LARGE CROwD-SLEMP HAD
CROWD, BYARS MADE ARGU-
MENT-NEGRO DISFRANCHISE
MENT - SILVER RECORD
CRUMPACKER BILL.

A staff correspondent of the Daily
Leader had the pleasure OF hear
Ing n Joint discussion at ,Tazewell
Saturday afternoon betwesn c. Bas-
comb Slemp. the Republican CON
G-eS nan from the Ninth Virginia
district. and his Democratic oppo-
nent, ]. Cloyd Byars. The speak
ers were given close attention by a
Packed house and they treated each
other with the greatest courtesy
Tazewell county is strongly Repub-
lican and II was evident from the
beginning that Slemp had the ad-
vantage of Byars in the crowd. By
ars also led the discussion and lost
almost half an hour by Interrupt
tion before the crowd settled. He
made a telling argument, however,
successfully defending his record
as state senator, and strongly as
sailing the record of his opponent
and especially his record on the
Crumpacker resolution. In his re-
ply Mr.. Slemp stated that the
Crumpac6er bill was only a resolu-
tiun directing that certain infor-
nation Ia taken in the next census
and that its purpose had been mis-
represented by the Democratic
speakers and press. He did not at
tempt to explain his pair on the bill
however.
Answering Mr.. Byars' question,
whether he was in favor OF chang
ing the constitution of Virginia so
as to re-enfranchise the negrocs.
he declared most emphatically that
he was not.
Mr.. Slemp denied that there is
panic and said the newspapers are
full Of advertisements for laborers
at good wages, neslecting to state,
however, that these advertisements
are for political purposes and paid
FOR by the Republican committees
He made the astounding statement
that laborers were IN great demand
at Dante and Stonrga at four and
five dollars per day, and the state
ment was spplauded by men who
knew better.
Mr.. Slemp attacked the Democrat
ic party as a party of inconsist n
cy and asked Mr.. Byars where he
now stood on the free silver ques-
tion. He asserted that the people
OF the Ninth district had repudia-
ted free silver by 5000 majority
when they elected General Walker.
Mr.. Slemp showed a recklessness IN
making that statement that was
disconcerting to his party frields.
Mr.. Byars reminded him that Gen.
Walker was elected on free silver
platform and had used a silver dol
lar in illustrating his speeches.
holding it up before the Iaboring
man ana asking him II that dollar
was not good enough for him. It
comes with poor grace for a Repub-
lican to talk about Inconsistency

it was the first school party it woulc
not be the last.
II. L. HOLSTER of Chicago was here
last Wednesday. He reports that the
special fruit exhibit of two car loads of
Twin Falls fruit has created much en-
thusiasm where ever shown.
Actual work has begun on the com
pany's experimental farm just east of
town and settlers coming in during the
next year can be assured of much prac-
teal help in solving the problems Incl
dent to what will to many be an entire
ly new system of farming.
r. H. Trail and the prominent re-
publican leaders here are being con-
graduated on the fact that the ticket
in this precinct was voted practically
straight, there not being a difference
of more than ten votes between the
different nominees on the ticket.
Reference has several times been
made to the Jerome Concrete and Brick
Co., but few have any idea of the i'm
portance of this new industry. r. S.
Fraser is president, j. ~ Hale, secre
-ary, and W. Christensen is vice-presi-
lent and manager. Five teams and (
.welve men are regularly employed and
he average output is between 400 and F
800 blocks day. The company is pre-
pared to furnish all kinds of solid and
follow cement blocks, chimney blocks

machine complete the equipment. The
latter by an ingenious combination of
levers exerts a pressure of 80, 900 lbs.
by single movement. After being
subjected to this enormous pressure the
product is carefully placed in racks and
for two weeks or more is carefully
cured before being ready for use.
A survey party of about twenty en-
gineers from the Oregon Short Line is
at work laying out new line through
the tract. The projected railway par
allels the electric railway and passes
through the southwest part of the
town.
Mr.. Merwyn, an expert from Salt
Lake City. has been here during the
last few days setting up the new print
ing presses for the forth coming North
Side News. 1t is expected that the
first number will be issued in the near
future.
Water in the new 12-inch well was
struck at 349 feet, but the drill was
continued until depth of 400 feet was
reached. A fine flow was obtained and
an ample supply of pure water for the
extensive system of water works now
being put in was assured. Few towns
only one year old from the sage brush
can boast of four miles of water mains.
These mains are 4, 6 and inch and are
sufficient to supply city of 10000 peo-
pie. At the Commercial Club Monday
evening steps were taken to organize
two volunteer fire departments, one
for the East End and one for the West
End. The Ostrander- company
offer to equip the latter with hose and
nose cart and full equipment.
