BETTER FOR DEMO-
Gratis.

| II New York does not 60 demo-
cratic this fall, it will be one of the
greatest surprises Of the election.
President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft
concluded that the safest course for
them to pursue was to stand by
Governor Hughes for a renomina-
ton, because, if they took the other
position, they decided that they
would have the entire moral ele-
ment in that state against them.
They miscalculated one thing,
and that is by supporting Mr..
Hughes they would antagonize the
great republican machine, which
does not like the governors poll
cies.
Mr.. Timothy l.. Woodruff came
out in statement Friday that was
directly aimed at President Roo-e-
welt and Mr.. Taft for trying to
dictate to the coming republican
state convention.
If Mr.. Hughes is nominated, it
appears to be the concensus of
opinion among politicians in New
York that he will be beaten, aud
if he is he will carry Mr.. Taft
down with him to defeat.
Should the republicans name
some one else for governor, the
Hughes men will knife the candi-
date to a finish, and this is certain
to result in Mr.. Taft getting slash
ed in the process.
The democrats ought to be very
greatful to the republicans for the
aid they are extending, and invirtu-
ally making what was doubtful
state n certainty for Mr.. Bryan.
The situation all over the coun-
try is most satisfactory to the
democrats at the present time, and
everything points to IA tremendous
landslide this fall.
The Miner only sees one danger
Gus feature. and that has to do
with the fact that in past cam
paigns the republicans have always
been better organized.
This is no reelection upon the
democratic managers, because it
takes money to organize and that
is something which the democrats
have always been short of in these
great battles.
So far the democrats appear to
be as well organized as the republic
Jeans and, if this position can be
sustained rom now until Novem-
Der, il seems as certain as anything
can be In politics that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected
One telling feature of the cam
paign is that in spite of all their
efforts the republicans cannot stir
up any enthusiasm for Mr.. Taft.
This was predicted when he was
|
nominated, for his candidacy was
forced on the republicans by
the ofliceholders, and it is now NJ
to the placeman to elect him, fol
the republican has put this respon'
sibility upon them.
The dyed-in the-wool republi'
cans will undoubtedly vote for Mr.
Taft, but there is all the differenc,
in the world between voting for ,
man and getting out and working
for him. Butte Miner.

If Richmond does not soon have two

receivers of the Virginia Passenger and

that fewer stores in both Main and

comparison of figures, was that Rich
mond to-day is one OF the two cities In

should draw manufacturers and inyes-
tors here In large numbers. as In adj
dition to cheap light and power Rich

SUBURBAN HOMES
FOR THE NEGROES.
Effort That Is Being Made to

Jackson Ward.
IA TONY NEGRO SETTLEMENT
Syndicate Formed to Provide
Homes Beyond Usual Tempta-
tons OF the City.

The congested condition of that part
of the city in which the colored people
arc crowded has been a subject of Sc
rious discussion for several years. Lat
tery the matter has attracted the at
tcntion of the health officers. and also
of the Chamber of Commerce. The
white people OF Richmond are always
ready to lend helping hand to worthy
Colored citizens. and 1t now seems that
mt least q partial solution of the prob
lem that confronts the latter Is to be
brought about.
In response to many urgent requests
of committee of respectable colorei
men, who are anxious that men of their
race be given an opportunity to secure
at a reasonable cost sites for homes in
the suburbs, where their children VIII
be beyond the many temptations of
city. a syndicate of white men Of means
has secured a beautiful tract5of land
located at the junction of the Henrco
Turnpike and Ladies' Mile Road. This
tract Will at once be plated and sold
to colored citizens at a price and on
terms which will be In the reach of
such colored men as are industrious
and frugal. On this property is beau

immediate neighborhood already has

law biding colored people, who own
their homes and have church and

has become so congested that when
the young people marry they are forced
to go elsewhere for homes.

This property will be literally laid

with shade trees and privet hedges
