How to Vote.

In Virginia, the election ballots
DO not show anything to Indicate
the different political parties. no
such words as Democratic or Re-
publican or Prohibition appearing
thereon, although each party's
candidates appear together, with
the exception af the Congressional
candidates-they appearing at the
bottom of the ticket and separate
from the political parties.
1t is necessary for the voter IN
dra" n line through at least three
tourths of every name which he in
tends to scratch out; and that fact
should be borne in mind by every
voter.
Ii there IS slightest doubt in your
mind as to your ability to mark the
ballot in the way in which YOU
want to vote, it is your privilege
to tell one of the officers of election
what YOU want To do and he will
e'ther mark your baiio; for you or
VIII show YOU how to do it.
The ballot is u simple thing. and
can be mark intelligentIy if you 90
at II I'm a careful manner. hnt vo,
must be careful.
If YOU are not careful, you NAV
not mark your ballot properly,
and it will be thrown out as defec-
tive.
BE sure you do not scratch any
of the names of electors who follow
the names of the Presidential
candidates for whom YOU want to
vote.

To Buy Election
Special to the COURIER.
Washington. Oct. 2s.

w aShlngton. Oct. 2S.
The Republicans are flooding
the doubtful States of New York.
Maryland. West Virginia, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois with fund of
$4,000. 900 or more which has been
raised from the Trusts and big
corporations. in an effort TO defeat
Bryan. aud while Bryan's election
WAS certainty week ago, it looks
now as though this big corruption
fund was getting in its work"
Henry Watterson SAYS the
American voters cannot be bought
for $50. .000.0 900. much less g, 900. :
600, but we all remember how
Hnna and his millions turned the
elections of 1896 and 1900.
The election will be close. That
i< conceded by both sides here.
The Republicans are scared. badly
scared. No stronger evidence is
wanted than Roosevelt ordering
the Cabinet TO take the field.
Statements are freely made here
that 100000 voters have not yet
made up their minds how they
will vote. Are they waiting for
their share of the $4,000. .OOO2
That's the question.
The bread line and the empty
dinner pail are playing their part
in the campaign.
Another thing that is helping
the Democrats is Roosevelt's at-
tack on Gompers. Another proc
lamation from the White House
will throw the election to Bryan
certain. The people here are hop
ing that Roosevelt will take the
stump, for they know it will elect
Bryan sure.
The Central Labor Union re-
Gently adopted resolutions unani-
mously approving the course of
Samuel Goml.ers; but Roosevelt
sent out orders that special meet
ing must be held and the indorse-
ment withdrawn under penalty of
losing their jobs. But he couldn't
bulldozc the workingmen, for they
reiterated their confidence in
Gompers and his writings by a
vote of 73 to 3.
If Bryan is beaten, the corrup-
ton fund will have been the cause.
And then you may look not far
into the future for a revolution
which will make the Reign of
Terror pale into insignificance.

Legitimate Bribery,

Mr. Taft says that the employers
threat To discharge his employees
or cut their wages il Mr.. Bryan is
elected is "a legitimate argument
in the campaign" No doubt the
candidates views as To what is
legitimate are somewhat different
IN the campaign" from what
they are ON the bench. If power
ful Democratic employers, con-
trolling the pay envelopes of nun
dreds of thousands Of voters. were
financially influencing" them to
vote against MIR. Taft. probably
the Republican candidate could
perceive that what is improper and
dlscreditable at any ordinary time
Is also improper and discreditable
in the campaign"
lfit is legitimate for an employer
to say to an employe: Il will'give
you 500 in additional wages if
MIR. Taft is elected" it is equally
legitimate for him to make a SINH
lar offer to one who is not an en-
ploye. The justification" argu-
ment of enhanced prosperity,
prompting greater liberality, APP
plies in one case as in the other.
Nor is the Legitimate" privilege
confined to employers only. Let
any good Republican, equipped
with his own funds or those of
others walk abroad in the land.

the COWS will cease to give milk.
If MIR. Taft is elected, on the other
hand, it is equally plain that the
roads and the factories will pay
double dividends, the crops will

quarts grow where only one grew

elected, | claim the privilege of
bestowing upon all who contribute
to that result a small token of my
happiness. Shall we say $3.50
each, gentlemene'
1t is very cheap indeed for Mr..
Taft to stand OH a stump and
thunder: The laboring men are
not to be bribed." If he means
that the average laboring man will
not stand in the market-place and
sell off his vote to the highest bid
der, ne Is stating a worn truism
not worth an intelligent mans time
to repeat or to listen to. If he
means that a laboring man, like

No. "a.
Judge Harrison on Malt BEVERAGE. y

I 'uuoO HoiiiSVu WI adlt DoftfdBe.
No little CONSERVATION has been
caused among the temperance folk
Of this State by Saturday decision
of Judge I. w. Harrison, who
holds that section 2St of the
Byrd liquor bill, regulating the
sale of near beer" and other non
Intoxicating malt liquors, is un-
constitutional, and therefore void.
The case, which first came up
before a magistrate in the matter
OF Robert VI. Henry, a Winchester
saloonkeeper, who was fined $500
for selling near beer" in less than
half dozen lots, will be taken to
the Supreme Court, but it seems
more than likely that Judge Har-
rison will be sustained.
The opinion is based on section
90 of the State Constitution, which
says:
The General Assembly shall
have full power TO enact local
option or dispensary laws, or any
other laws controlling, regulating
or prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors."
Section 234 was not a part of
the original liquor bill as drawn by
Speaker Byrd and passed by the
House of Delegates. 1t was put
IN as an amendment in the Senate
and accepted by the House rather
than risk losing the whole measure.
Henry, after being fined by the
magistrate, appealed to the Circuit
Court, and the case has been pend
inc before Judge Harrison for
several weeks. In handing down
his decision, declaring unconstitut-
tional section 231, which applies
only to the manufacture and of
malt beverages containing less
than > per cent. OF alcohol, Judge
Harrison stated that the Byrd law
as a whole was the best measure
regulating tina liquor traffic the
State had ever seen, and that he
did not believe the people would
ever consent to a radical departure
from its underlying principles.
Just after the case of Henry was
appealed from the magistrates
court, and before the opinion of
Judge Harrison was announced.
Speader Byrd said:
personally l disclaim any re-
sponsibility for section 23l. 1t
was interpolated bodily by the
Senate into the bill as it passed the,
House.
The danger is that if section
234 is declared unconstitutional it
means that the Legislature cannot
regulate the traffic in the so-called
near beers, and that the sale of
these liquors may he used as a
blind by dealers in actual intoxi-
cantS. Except in this regard, sec
tion 25t could be cut out with
out interfering with the fabric of
the BILL"
1t has always been understood
and believed in this section of the
State that section 23l of the Byrd
law was inserted in the Senate at
the express inStigation of the
| brewery interests of the State: and
| that view of the matter has not
been changed since Judge Harri-
sons ruling, As it opens up wide
field for future litigation over
what Is intoxicating and what is
| not intoxicating.
