j. l.. KERsEY AGAIN ATTEMPTS
TO INDICT PARTIES.

After falling to secure conviction
in number of cases against citi-
zens OF BIueneld who were deter
mined not to allow illegal voting
last spring, under the alleged
charges Of intimidation and CARR
ing clubs. Mr.. J. l.. Kersey ag-in
wen: before the grand jury this
week and secured indictments
against Mr.. A. 3. Thompson and Mr.
w. F. Perkins who had been ex-

While the first indictments were
for intimidation and carrying clubs
he now charges they were trying TO
intimidate him as an election com
missioner. He failed 20 secure q
conviction in the eases for which
he indicted them at court
last spring and now he wishes to
further harass these people By
charging them with lntimidatilg
him as an election officer.
The charges are practically the
same as chose founded on Mr. Ker-
sey's evidence last spring but the

The Telegraph is much agitated
because Major Samuel walton was
a Gold Democrat in 1896. And
what II IL is true? Thousands Of
Republicans were silver Republi-

any the less Republican In 19OS7
Major Walton differed from the ma

The issues which have divided
the Democracy in 1896 have passed
away. They are now sleeping their

ers of the organized Democracy is

.ELK|NS HAS DARING PLAN
FOR SECURING CONTROL Of
BOARD Of PUBLIC WORKS

The secret OF Senator Elkins' un-
compromising attitude in demand
ing the nomination OF Glasscock.
with Blue or Robinson as the only
acceptable alternates. is becoming
better understood as his daring
scheme for securing control OF the
state board OF public works is grad
ually unfolded.
Elkins was so perfectly satisfied
of his ability TO control the action
OF Swisher that he positively re-
fused TO have him taken from the
ticket until he received positive as
surance that one of his own attor-
neys should be named as Swisher's
successor. He submitted the names
of Glasscock. Blue and Robinson to
the members OF the conference in
the meeting held at his home in Ell
kins on the Sunday night preced-
ing the state committee meeting
at Charleston. These names were
preferential in the order given. Rob
inson being third choice, with Blue
second. The conferences were .di-
rected, however TO go TO Charleston
armed with a Glasscock ultimatum.
and not 10 recede until the last mo-
ment. If Glasscock failed. then
Blue or Robinson, the former his
present attorney. the latter an ex-
member OF his legal stan, were 20
be suggested in the order named.
The ever dutiful Elkins committee
accepted the edict and Glasscock
was chosen. Thus as the ticket
stands at present. Elkins' attorney

way last spring. At that time Mr..
Kersey accused these men OF intim-
idating voters. He now accuses
them OF intimidating him. It is
strange thai he did not maze this
charge before the grand jury last
spring. III he made this charge az
that time the prosecuting attorney
evidently thought II not worth
while to ask that an indictment be
returned.
Mr.. kersey is one OF the bitterest
partisans. he has been the hench-
man Of the Bluefeld gangsters for
years, and is ever anxious to do
their bidding. Having failed to get
a conviction in the two cases against
these men he is now exerting him
self on the third.
Will the people vote for such a
man for Justice of the peace? Is
such a man fit to administer the
law? If elected is IL not reasona-

sanship will find it's way into his

The state board OF public works
NOT only assesses the public utility
OF the state for taxable purposes.
but has direct supervision OF the
defense of the Virginia debt suit.
IL has been charged by Republican
newspapers and Republican speaa-
ers that Senator Elkins is personal
ly interested in the securities, the
validity of which is involved in this
litigation. This has never been
disproven beyond denial In the
abstract, and is strongly supported
By rcumstantial evidence. With
board OF public works OF his own
choosing, it will be seen that Elkins
could dictate action that would in
ure largely to his own personal in
terests. should he so desire. That
he would make the most OF any
such opportunity those familiar with
the history of his former financial
transactions will not for moment
question.

THEIR ATTITUDE upoN LILY
WHITE PLANKS.

The Republican candidates for ler
islature I'm this county are telllnr
the white voters that II elected they
VIII support Jim Crow car law.
but they have not the courage To
announce this fact publicly. The
Telegraph, the Republican organ. is
afraid to endorse tho Democratic
platform which declares for sepa-
rate coaches for the races.
In all OF it's utterances the Tcle.
graph has not said one word about
its attitude upon this burning ouos-
uon. We have repeatedly asked
where II stood. but II remains as
silent AZ the tomb.
We challenge either candidate
Tor the house OF delegates to state
HIS position upon this question. The
fact Is they are afraid to announce
their attitude. Will tho people sun
port candidates who are afraid 20
announce themselves?
They are afraid to say that they
are against requiring the railroads
to provide separate coaches because
1t would lose the white Rcpubl
cans. They are afraid 10 take the
other horn of the dilemma because
It would ALLEVIATE the negro.
We challenge any candidate on
,he Republican ticket 10 announce
his attitude on this question.
While they are telling the white
Republicans -hey favor the "Jip
Crow" cars. they say they arc
against the Democratic elective
franchise plank because, they say
"'it Will disfranchiso more whitos
than blacks" This statement Is
either made In utter ignorance or
with the wilful intent to deceive.
In none of the states where tho
Democratic elective franchise planlls
obtain have the white votets been
dlsfranchised. The statistics which
they pretended to quote are malt
cious falsehoods.
In Mississippi Georgia North Car
olina. and other southern statos
every descendant or n person who
was voter on or before 1867 if
allowed TO vote All soldiers and
their descendants are allowed to
vote. All persons who can read
and write or explain n clause OF thc
constitution are allowed TO vote. An
persons whether able to read or
write or not who owns $500 worth
OF property are allowed to vote.
This will embrace every white vot-
er
They attempt To refer to the Vir-
glnia law. Not one white voter
I'm a thousand I'm Virginia Is dis
franchised on account OF the oduca-
tional qualification. There are n
number OF white voters who are dis
