STRONG DENIAL.

EX.GOv. MONTAGUE SAYS HE WILL
VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Just as we expected when we read the
report that ex-Gov. A. j. Montague
had left the Democratic party and
would stump the state fors Taft, there
was something wrong about it, Mr..
Montague was not in Richmond when
the report started and his delay in
making denial served to lead many to
think it was true. Here is his denial:
81 will not take the stump for the
Republican nominee or party in Vlr-
ginia or anywhere else. l intend to
vote for the Democratic nominee. No
Federal judgeship or any other Federal
office has been offered or mentioned to

cussed with anybody any such posi-
ton.

TAFT AND PROSPERITY.

1t takes good deal of nerve and gall
in a Republican to shout Taft and
prosperity"
The Republican party has the entire
management of affairs, having every
office from President to department
scullion. If they succeed this fall they
will simply be trading Taft for Roose-
welt, and leaving other things as they
are now. How can Taft be better than
Roosevelt? If Roosevelt, coming as he
did in the midst of prosperity to his
high station, Could not avert the pres
ent conditions, what can be expected OF
Taft, who inherits the Roosevelt panic,
and must carry out Roosevelt's poll
cies? He cannot possibly be so great a
man as the one they cheered for forty
nine minutes in the convention. Is
the refrain to be changed from Roose-
welt and panic, to Taft and prosperity?
If so, where are the fools to swallow
the statement

have Frank III. Hitchcock, the gentle
man who guided the ''steam-roller" at
Chicago, appointed chairman of the
National Committee. Secretary Taft $
brother, c. P. Taft, on the other hand,
opposes Hitchcock and favors Arthur
l. Vorys, the manager Of the Taft
forces in Ohio. "Brother Charles" is
furnishing the necessary and abundant
cash with which the campaign has
thus far been carried on, which makes
him difficult individual to turn down.
Altogether, Judge Taft is finding that
the battle is far from won when the
nomination is secured and his inexperi-
ence in politics places him at serious
disadvantage as compared with Mr..
Bryan.

HELPING THE CAUSE.

1t is to be noted that some large con-
Germs which closed under the present
Republican panic, are going to put
men to work. Enquiry leads to an as
certainment of the following conditions.
The corporations thus giving employ
ment do it, not because times are i'm
proving, but because they cannot sub
scribe to the campaign fund as before;
but they think they will be aiding the
Republican cause by thus securing Re
publican support. AS no man can be
Democrat and either own manufac-
turing plant or work in one, those
owning such plants think when they
are in operation, they themselves have
performed the Lords service, and the
workmen will be easy to handle. 1t is
the idle man that breaks away from
corporation shackles, and the sweet
perfume of Republicanism.

TO ADVERTISE VIRGINIA
FRUIT TO ALL WORLD
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY MAKING
ARRANGEMENTS FOR EXHIBIT
ING CHOICE PRODUCTS.

ARIA FEM Id TOh
ING CHOICE PRODUCTS.
A number of leading fruit growers
from different sections of the State at
tended the meeting of the executive
committee of the Virginia Horticul-
tural Society at CrOzet last week.
Prominent on the committee were H.
c. Wysor, of Pulaski; w. A. McComb,
Augusta; Judge F. S. Tavenner, of
Woodstock, and Walter Whately, of
Crozet, secretary and treasurer of the
society.
DIR. J. B. Emmerson, of New York,
was also present at the invitation of
the committee, and impaired much
valuable information along horticul-
tural lines.
The committee With Ell. c. Wysor as
chairman, first took up the matter OF
applying in the most renumerative
way, the $500 appropriated by the
legislature for the advancement of the
horticultural resources of the State. .
1t was decided to commence line OF
advertising that has been tried before
in limited way, and which proved to
be highly satisfactory. The plan is to
keep the fruit, which speaks for itself,
extensively exhibited and advertised
in Washington, New York and Other
leading American cities, and to have
first class exhibit at the State fair in
Richmond next fall, and also at the
one in Lynchburg. They will accept
no prize from the fair and will be in
completion with no one, but will worl
in connection with the State, which
they consider to the best interests of al
concerned.
1t was also decided to offer prizes TO
the best exhibits of fruit at the mex
annual meeting of the society in Lynch
burg, Jan. &, and s, 1909, an entirel.
new feature of the meetings.

"GLIB TAKERS SHALLOW. :"

The Petersburg IndeX-Appeal dis
cusses Interestingly the question is
oratory drawback to presidential
candidate ?u and decides the question
in the negative. In this decision we
believe the able IndeX-Appeal takes the
wrong side. 1t seems very clear to us
that Voluble speech is a serious draw
back to the advancement of any man
politically. There is a very general
impression, and we believe it is well
grounded, that persons who are gllp
takers are shallow, and the people are
reluctant to entruSt their business 10
man who is suspected of being shaliaW
and superficial. Apply this prlncipie
to the men who have aSplred 10 Office
in this country and we believe our con-
tention will be borne out, with rare
exceptions. Dispatch-News.
Suppose we apply that principle gen
orally. Let us for instance apply ii to
newspapers, since newspapers are ap-
plying it to presidential candidates,
and especially to Mr.. Bryan, who both
our local contemporary and the Index
Appeal bitterly dislike and oppose. If
"voluble speech" is drawback how
about the voluble pen? Every morn
ing 365 times year newspaper
of the daily tribe comes forth with
fresh Matched productions from its in
cubator. In many cases only one mind
evolves the editorials, and one hand
pens them. This is surely so in ninety
nine cases out of hundred. In our
own local contemporary we have seen
no less than half a dozen subjects OF Ma
tional, State and local interest discuss
ed at length in one issue. This goes on
year in and year out. This measure
approved of, that disapproved OF, the
president lectured, the State taken to
task, the people told what must be
done for their moral, social and relig-
ious welfare, local affairs arranged, the
local press spanked, Mr.. Bryan damn
ed, and so on increasingly. Yet we are
told in seriousness that "It seems very
clear to us, that voluable speech is a
SERIOUS uTdW UdCh W ll1C oO
of any man politically" Not content
with this illumination against those
who open their mouths as did the ass
of Balaam, our rather voluable contem-
porary further says: 'sThere is very
general impression, and we believe it
is well grounded, that persons who are
glib takers are shallow" We will
leave the question just where our val
ued contemporary puts it, especially
when the foregoing impression is con-
Cured in by persons who "talk' ten
times where Mr.. Bryan talks once, and
since their utterances go into the waste
basket in a few moments after utter
ance, whilst Mr.. Bryan's are made thu
text of articles for the entire newspape
world, and are quoted every day ant
| remembered by millions of people.

HARD TIMES A COMM.

Mr.. Marcus A. Hanna is dead. He
will not figure except in spirit and in n:
fiuence in the approaching campaign.
1t is well he is not here to have his
great heart broken by the paucity OF
the contributions to the Republican
campaign fund He was working in a
panic in 1896, but he found the dough.
The Democrats had so managed the
government, or rather Mr.. Cleveland
had, as to bankrupt it. That made
Mr.. Hanna's work easier. "The, gold
standard must be maintained and the
Republican party restored to power or
the country is doomed" Thus spoke
Mr.. Hanna. To do this the voters must
be controlled The voters could not be
controlled with reason, they must have
something more tangible-the full
dinner pail for instance. Mr.. Hanna
went to work to find the men who had
the money, he knew where it was. The
people could not find it, but so hungry
were they for it that Mr.. Hanna knew
if they could see the color of it all would
be well. He got it. He distributed 1t.
In his distribution he sent some of it to
Virginia. A certain newspaper in
Richmond, and newspaper too
which if told that its political course
seemed to be influenced by the effect of
that policy onsits exchequer, says that
such an assertion is false, is said to
have gotten in 1896 FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS of Mr.. Hanna's money-not
to support Mr.. Hanna's candidate, but
another. One nearer home is said to
have gotten So, 500. Let that be as ii
may, those newspapers have ever since
persistently opposed the approaching
candidate for the presidency to be
named by the Democrats, and also what
the masses of Democrats hold to be the
true principles of Democracy. Will
they require fresh sailing" to keep
their Democracy PURE? or will they
fall in and support the ticket as nomi-
mated, since their patron saint, Mr..
Hanna, has suffied off this mortal
coil ? What a depressing effect the
death of the illustrious Mr.. Hanna
must have in certain quarters, as the
campaign grows apace? Hard times
seem to be commin', and no money
is yet in sight. F.

BRYAN HAS S61 Votes.
The New York Herald Says the only
Hope Of Opponents is to Get
Instructed Delegates to
Break Pledge.

New York, June 30.-The Herald
prints the following from its correspon-
dent in Denver:
This, the final article of the series in
the New York Herald regarding the
progress of the canvass for delegates TO
the Democratic National convention,
brings the total of delegates chosen
within Is of the complete quota of the
convention. There is now but this
question regarding the nomination of
VIM. J. Bryan on the first ballot:
''Can Col. }. NJ. Guffey of Pennsyl-
Vania, and other Eastern Democrats
induce enough delegates already in
structed for Mr.. Bryan to break their
instructions and thus prevent his get
ting the necessary two-thirds ~
So far as Bryan is concerned, ON the
face of the instructions he has the NOM
ination. Last week the States of Geor-
gia, Vermont and North Carolina held
their conventions. That of North Car
DINA is still in session. Georgia elected
26 delegates that were uninstrcted and
Vermont elected eight delegates that
were uninstructed after Bryan resolu-
lions had been voted down by an over
whelming majority.
1t is said that the Georgia delegates
are opposed to the nomination of Mr..
Bryan. 1t will thus appear that the
opposition to Bryan made desperate
squirt in the last few days of the con-
test. Had they done this earlier the
result might have been different, but
that strange fatality of always being
s'too late" seems to hang over the can
vass for Judge Gray and Gov. johnson
to the end.
In summing up the result, it appears
that Mr.. Bryan will probably have
more than 800 delegates. OF the unin-
structed delegates the Herald believes
that 1852 will vote for him. He will
probably also have the 6 delegates from
Montana and the II yet to be elected in
North Carolina The actual grand to-
tai of Bryan made up by the Herald is
S61 votes.
Since the above article was written,
both North Carolina and Montana have
instructed for Mr.. Bryan, so Col. CUT
fey and his delegation may as well stay
at home.
