ton? How came it that Mr., Cannon,
the head OF this movement, was sub
hitting his temperance platform, pro-
posing an advance In the temperance
movement to Judge Msnn's hackers.
Voters must be very lacking 10 thought
sud judgment If they do not see plainly itS
that the sole purpose was to lryto fool
some vets to vote for Judge Mann. Quite
smooth-we will hold the temperance
vote for Mann and fool "wets" to vote
Tor him also. We will make some
of them think Mann is not going any
further In the liquor matter. ATE the
"weh" going to believe that one who
has been GghtiOg them for years can ever
be their friend when he no longer needs
their votesi Are the drys goiug to vote
for one who is party to side-stepPing
on such 8 question to get vet votes?
Some of the VETS may be fooled, but
many thousands of temperance people
will not vote for Judge Mann, because
OF this action, and because of hls actions
la the other matters mentioned above.
Is his public career such that VirginisnS
want such a man for their governor

Virginia open house. Say what you
choose, virginisps like this. 1t is bred
10 their bones. Again, Judge Mann
says Nj. Tucker asked Mr.. Roosevelt
for a U. s. judgesbip. The fact is that
Mr.. Roosevelt was appointing some dem

i, all of 1t. Such things IS this are
soout all Judge Mann can say against
Mr.. Tucker. Let every man pause and
think carefully before he casts his vote

s1re, when the sun goes down, it will be

A COMPLETE change seems to be tax
log place 10 political matters. The letb'
arey which existed In the early stages
Of the contest between Mr.. Tucker and
Judge Mann, for the democratic nomi-
nation, seems to have given away to
much interest in the result. Judge
Mann's Malone letters appear to have
had rnuoh to do with the change. II
would be strange, indeed, If such letters
did not create interest to Virginia demo-
cratic voter. 1t seems hardly credible
that one of such experience as Judge
Mann would have written them. His
answer is that he never had sn idea Of
following Gen. Malone into the repub-
lican party, that he has always been
democrat. de Gays 10 one Of his letters
that be had interviewed one OF two re-
publican representatives Of the legisla-
turs in bis section and the republican
boss of his county, 10 General Ma
homes behalf for the United States Sem
ate. BE says be preferred Malone for
governor, but if the general preferred
the United States Senate, he was for him
heartily. At the same time he says he
voted with the white people Of the
county In favor of paying the state debt
Now 6dmit that there we're many good
people who honestly thought the stste
did not owe sll the debt, the question
for VrgiDisus ia what was Judge Mann
doing partly on both sides! He says be
voted with the straight democrats.
Then what was he doing working for
General Malone and writing him that
he was fer him for governor or United
S.stes senator? Malone was the leader
Of the combine, sgainst which Judge
MaLu Gays h. voted. Then what was
he doing interviewing republicans and
te de5iog his wishes and earnest support
TO the leader Of the other si1ei He
thanks MIR. Malone 10 another letter for
eecling him judge, How came it that
Mr. Malone made Mr.. Mann judge,
when be turned out, practically, every
other democratic judge in the state,
whose election occurred at that time,
from lhs Court Of Appeals down 10 the |
County courts? General MakUne said
openly, If be could lot find one Of bis
own mer for cfice, he would abolish the |
Office. How came be TO make q lore
exception Of Judge Mann, when he &C.
tuslly turned out a Confederate soldier,
who had lost leg in defense of his
stste, "a doOrkeeper in the legislature. |
There is no explanation that can be
given 20 this transaction, that should |

Msnn. Granted that Judge Msnn's
dome.tic a1d private life is above re-
proach, Mr.. Tucker stands on IS high
plane here as any man that ever lived.

ROW AMONGST OONFEREEs.

The crisis OF the tariff conferences
seems to have been reached.
There we're several sharp clashes soon
after the cOnferees met yesterday and
at last the whole discussion between
the republican conferees broke np at
noon in q healthy row between Senator
Aldrich and Chairman Payne.
The first premonitiOn OF the serious
disagreement came when Chairman
Psyne walked out of the committee
room at noon with a stern CountensDce.
Half an hour later later Chairman Al
drich vent away. A little later Senator
Aldrich aud Speaker Cannon hurried to
the White House to explain what had
happened, bat they found the president
had gone out and could not be found at
that time.
Later 1t was learned that high pro-
tectionist effort to force vote or the
iron .ore schedule In conference instead
OF waiting for the presidents decision
10 the matter precipitated bitter ex"
change Of personalities between Senator
Burrows and Senator Penrose, with
Chairman Payne, of the House ways
aud means committee, as their target.
So heated was the exchange that the
conference had to be summsrily ad
journed to allow the participants to cool
of, SO as to enable them to come
together again upon an amicsble work
ing basis.
The main trouble grows out Of the
fact that Mr.. Payne has been practically
deceived by bis own coDferees from the
House and has discovered at last that
the House committee is 'lOaded"
sgaiust him with high protectionists.
The tariff conferees have come to
deadlock, which 1t is said will require
President TafPs influence to break.

Rushing Season at Heighth
With Local Sorority Girls

Rushing season has come-that is, the
more obvious manifestations OF It have.
As a matter Of fact rushing has been ad-
mirably systematized and there Is method
in II from start TO finish. To the unini-
tlated the local alumna is the most amaz-
ingly gracious creature of which she has
ever known. Such attentions as the High
school girl graduate receives from this
experienced one who. having been through
college. is so sollcitous for her who ex-
poets to enter this fall. But, poor little
high school girl, how much she has still
to learn.
Systematic rushing began among local
sorority members early in July, when,
armed with a list Of desirable possible
members, they went forth In twos and
threes to call on the 'rushees.' girls who
will 60 off to college this fall and who
will make desirable "actives." Having
impressed the "rushee' with this first
step. a more active campaign begins. The
game has just now reached this stage. and
during the coming month the desirable one
will be entertained at least once a week
by the designing ones who would claim
her for their own. with at least half a
dozen active alumnae associations in town.

HINTS FROM THE SEWING ROOM
Little Things that VIII Save Time
and Trouble for the Seam
Htreas.

When making the plain circular or gore
skirts finish the top of the skirt first,
and put 1t on the band, then fold band,
pin together and hang for at least a day
before trimming and finishing bottom
The hanging stretches the seams and pre-
vents the skirt from sagging after it is
worn.
When using cloth covered buttons on
wash dresses do not sew them on as they
do not iron well, but fasten on under side
with a small safety pin, and when the
dress II to be washed remove the buttons,
string them on a thread, and after scrub
bling and rlnsing hang up to dry.
II long tight sleeves are made Of wash
goods be sure to shrink the goods before
sewing, or If that is not desirable allow
an extra seam for shrinking, and then
run the second seam in by hand to make
the sleeve fit snug. Before washing re-
move this hand sewing, and after sleeve
is washed 1t will be just right.
When braiding on delicate fabric have
the stamping done on the under side, then
trace 1t with a running stitch with fine
thread, and follow this when applying
the braid. This is a little more work, but
prevents soil from the stamping chalk or
fluid.
