THEY WANT The NINTH.

The Ninth Congressional District is
the one eve lamb of the Republicans in
Virginia Democracy's lecherous eye
IS longingly seeking its possession.
Before the Congressional election in
1906 the Democratic press and leaders
proclaimed it the duty of the organiza-
ton and of all the rank and file of the
party to concentrate their efforts upon
the Ninth, with the strong hope Of
wrestling it from the Republicans.
When the Democrats of the district
met in convention at Bristol to nomi-
nate a candidate for Congress, J. Taylor
Ellyson, State chairman of the party,
and the most malevolent political ma
nipulator in Virginia, was present to
encourage a nomination. He promised
the convention and its nominee that
concentrated effort would be made by
the Virginia Democracy to take the dis
trict from the Republicans. 1t was
understood that al the campaign fund
for the State would be dedicated to this
service; and VIC have no doubt but that
1t was done, as it was currently told and
believed that many thousands of dol
lars were used in the strenuous effort
to elect Bruce to Congress. But the
moral and financial support Of the solid
Virginia Democracy, guided by the
shadowy hand of Taylor Ellyson, were
unavailing. Bruce was defeated and
Democracy demoralized.
After the death of Colonel Slenp.
and when it became necessary to elect
his successor in Congress last Deem
Der, the Democrats declined to nomi-
nate a candidate and make another
hopeless contest.
When the General Assembly met in
January there was but one voice among
the Democratic members as to the fu-
ture treatment of the Ninth District.
and that was: 1--WE may as well aban-
con the Ninth District and turn it over
10 the Republicans. And in response
20 that sentiment, Craig county, here
tofore rock-ribbed stronghold of De
mocracy, was taken from the Ninth and
attached to the Tenth District, to pre-
vent it, if possible, from becoming Re-
publican.
Then our esteemed, brilliant, but err
ratio contemporary, the Richmond News
Leader, came boldly to the front and
said to itself: LET US see what we
can do in the way of redeeming the
Ninth and placing it again in the hands
of the glorious (?) Democracy. To
carry out that purpose our Richmond
contemporary selected veteran journ-
alist, Mr. w. S. Copeland, recently
with the Times-Dispatch, but now asso-
ciated with the News Leader, and sent
him to the Ninth to investigate and re-
port on the political conditions here.

PRESERVED APPLES ARE GOOD.
How They May Be Made Ready fol-
Immediate Use.

Pare and core as many apples as will
cover the bottom of a preserve kettle,
eight or nine large ones will fill a
medium sized dish. Allow three-ouar-
tiers OF a pound of sugar to each pound
of fruit.
Make a rich strip, when 1t boils
clear drop in the apples and the peel
of lemon cut thin. They should boil
slowly, turning them over occasion
ally; If they are good they will keep
their shape and look transparent
About three-quarters of an hour
will be long enough to cook them,
when they look yellow and clear they
are done.
Lift them into a dish sufficiently
deep to hold the juice. When the
fruit is done let the strip boil a few
minutes longer then pour 1t over the
apples.
Ornament with a preserved green
gage on the top of each apple. Blanch
sweet almonds and place them in q
circle around the gage.

crat at Pulaski actually made Mr..
Copeland believe that Rhea had been
chosen, because of his wonderful per-
sonal courage, to intimidate General
Walker, the fearless Republican candi-
date; and that Rhea had succeeded in
doing so in joint debate with Walker
at Pulaski. To say that w. f. Rhea
could ever have attempted to brighten
James A. Walker or have reflected On
his courage or integrity in his presence
without being called promptly to &C
count, IS more absurd than to say that
the night proving jacSal could brighten
and run the lion, the king Of Beasts. -
But Mr.. Copeland's mind was relieved
of such impression when he Travelled
further into the district. When he
reached Wytheville he was there told
BY cussing Democrat how they all did
things; and this same man said to Mr..
Copeland: What's the use attacking
Rhea when we are all guilty." Then,
when Mr.. Copeland journeyed further
OF he began to find out the true reason
why Rhea had been selected as the
Democratic candidate-that was be-
cause he was an INSCRIPTIONS politician
and had unlimited capacity for finding
and using men who could square their
.consciences to any political crime. Mr..
Copeland at Gate City found out a little
about the Scott County Ballot" that
knowledge coming from a Democratic
source But he saw the forged and
falsified returns from certain precincts
in Scott county, by which, with similar
work in other counties, a bold move
ment was made to rob Colonel Slemp of
the certificate of election to which he
was entitled.
With his eyes opened, Mr.. Copeland,
responding to the question of a CORES
pendent of the Roanoke Times: Can
you suggest man likely to take Judge
Rhea's place." said:
The man who takes Judge Rhea's
place must be man of courage and ag-
gressiveness, but he must be clean, or
he will fail"
And the News Leader editorially
said:
We observe in some of the newspa-
pers card from some man who wants
to know who will take Judge Rhea's
place and make the kind of fights he
did in the Ninth District. To which we
answer, we devoutly hope, nobody"
Evidently Mr.. Copeland and the News
Leader now know why Rhea was made
the Democratic candidate for Congress.

NOT A vENAL ELECTORATE.

The News Leader correspondent made
another shocking discovery while at
Wytheville. The information was
given by self-confessed Democratic
corruptionist, who didn't buy votes
himself but who contributes largely
from his ample fortune to campaign
fund which he declared was always
used to corrupt the electorate. He
was told by this BE Cd Sir" Demo
crat that large per cent. of the voters
of the Ninth District solicit brides, and
that votes are trafficked in by both Re-
publicans and Democrats with as much
equanimity as our graziers show when
buying and selling their cattle. When
Mr. Copeland arrived in other commun-
tiles in the district and heard other fer
vid Democrats talk about the venal
vote he became impressed with the be-
lief that about forty per cent. of the
electorate is purchasable. He has per
mitted his brain-storm Democratic in
formants to impose dreadfully upon his
fertile credulity.
We deny that the poor voters of the
Ninth District are largely bribe-seekers
or bribe-takers. They are nearly all
Republicans, and would turn with hu-
initiation from bride offered by a Re-
publican friend and scorn an offer made
by a Democratic foe. They are as
steadfast in their political convictions
as is Mr.. Copeland, whose Democratic
faith is built upon the principle of eter-
nal hate to the name, Republican.
Wherever there is very large cleo
torate there will necessarily be some
who will sell their votes. This DISPOSE
ton, however, is not confined to the
poor and illiterate voters of the Ninth
District, but is more general in GER
tain other sections, in what Mr.. Cope
land may claim to be the most intelli-
gent portions of Virginia. We respect
fully direct his attention to the Eighth
Congressional District, where the Dem
ocratic newspapers boldly charged that
at Democratic primary to nominate a |
candidate for Congress last year there
was widespread bribery practiced in
Culpeper county. One of the candi-
dates, Judge Nicol, called for an inves-
but the matter was hushed up.
We also respectfully direct his atten-
ton to the frequent charges of corrup-
ton and fraud in Democratic primaries
held in Richmond, Norfolk and other
places in the eastern part of the State.
There may be venal vote in the Ninth,
bat there is not a precinct out here that
ian be bought for twenty-five dollars, as
was an entire precinct in the city of
at a Democratic primary held
not very long ago. Mr.. Copeland and
he News Leader are, no doubt, sincere :
n their desire to reform the political ]
morals of the Ninth District, but it f,
