THE MACHINE. "

Talking about 1.-THE machine",
most certainly true ii is, that Judge
Mann had no machine" back of
him here. The men who would be
styled machine men" in TazeweII
were nearly all on the other side.
Mr.. fuckers machine" in TazewelI
was stronger than Judge Mann's.
The Times Dispatch is harping on
its familiar old string-the machine
AS matter OF fact, the machine as il
pIeases some To call the party organi-
zation, was never more divided and
has seldom cut less figure i'm a Virgil
mia cOmpaign than i'm the one lust
closed. Mr.. Tucker had probably as
Mann. The real explanation is that
Judge Mann appealed To the people
of Virginia more than did Mr..
Tucker. If Judge Mann had any
organization in this city we are not
aware of il. Even the Anti-SaIoon
League did not do any work rs an
organization in his behalf. and, in
deed, very small proportion Of its
mem bership even voted nj all. What
was accomplished for Judge Mann
in Danville was chiefly the work OLA
few devoted followers or admirers.
who eXerted themselves in his be-
half because they earnestly and hon
estly believed that he should be
named and that he better merited the
nomination than did his opponent. -

WHAT DID 1T?

Judge Mann's nomination in our
candid opinion, is attributable to the
votes of temperance people, who
seem TO be much stronger throughout
the state than a great many city folk
have imagined '-Evening Journal
cit is safe TO say that Mr.. Tucker
would have won but for the resent
ment against him of the friends and
supporters of Stuart. News Leader
SO, there YOU are. Two of the
great dailies" assign difreret causes
for the defeat of Mr. Tucker
During the campaign these papers
claimed that Mr. Stuarts friends were
supporting Mr. Tucker enthusiastical-
ly, and that the liquor people were
behind Judge Mann, and all efforts
to disabuse them and open their eyes
were futile With the little boy they
now say, 81 see, see clearly"

LET THEM 90.

Somebody says, Now watch the
liquor people go against Judge Mann
in November. IL makes precious
little difference which way the
liquor people go. The influence of
this vote is of little consequence any
way, and every time they undertake
TO control politics, and every lick
they hit they weaken what little in
fuence they have got. They count
for a little something i'm few liquor
soaked cities where state wide pro-
hibitiOn sentiment is being manufac-
tured as rapidly rs possible. If The
liquor people will stand hands-oT
entirely they will prolong their wan
ing life ten years. The liquor interest
has tuberculosis, and eXertiOn and
activity hastenS the final result. Alb
solute inactivity and rest is the
only hope of pIolonging life.

If

The Republicans said all along
that they much preferred the nomi-
nation of Judge Mann, for the reason
that he would be the easier of the
two candidates to beat. Just how far
they were sincere in this may be
judged from the fact, that they did
what they conld To nominate the
other man, going so far in certain
places as TO work, and even vote in
the primary for Mr.. Tucker.
Now we hear this said: "lf we,
(the Republicans, had only nomina-
ted another man for Governor than
Mr.. Kent, we would lick You GER
tain, " showing clearly that they
have no earthly hope OF success. Ii
is true, that Mr.. Gillespie or Mr..
ReVercOmbe, either would have made
much stronger candidate than MI
Kent, il is also true, that no man
they could put up would be success
full in November. The trouble is not
with the candidates so much, but
with the voters. There are not enough
OF them, that's all there is TO il.
And further still. The Republic
ans will never elect Governor of
this state so long as brother Bascom
is in the lead, unless il he brother
Bascom himself. You can bet your
money on this proposition. There are
no IFS nor and's about il at all.

Alive Issue.

To the Voters 81 Tazewell and Our
Beloved Southwest:
In spite of the fact that our poll
ticians say the liquor question will
not come up i'm the approaching ses-
sion OF the legislature and that 1t is
not live issue. we know that il is.
They are trying TO avoid it, but the
time has come when Virginia can
not avoid il any longer. This ques-
ton can be settled only by the
voters, on you rests the response bill
ty of forever freeing the Old DOmin-
ion of the blight that is cutting
down every year, yea, almost every
week of the year, some of her noblest
sons. Every right thinking man,
Democrat OF Republican, white or
black, knows that this is IA battle of
the right against the wrong and you
also know that local option is not
the way to get rid of this evil.
Recent local option elections in
the Souhwestt show this. There are
more selfish men than unselfiish ones
more who for some selfish reason,
whether business or the gratifying
OF appetite, want the whiskey TO the
hurt of his weaker brother. If this
is an evil, and who can deny that
it is? then get rid of it once for all.
You hear men say that State W ide
prohibition is wrong, il takes away
from man his rights; if man
wants TO drink whiskey il is no bust
ness of anybody else. What are these
rights we would take from him? To
whip his wife, TO take from his in
nOcent children the bread and clothes
they should have, to bring upon
them the disgrace of a drunken faith
er? To break the heart Of the woman
he has solemnly promised before God
and man 10 love and protect, as well
as the heart of the mother who has
nurtured him and given him being?
These are the rights we would take
from him. Are they the rights God
intended for man to have when lie
created him. You must see the falacy
OF this plea. All. voters, face this
question squarely and honestly, put
this evil down, don't try TO compro-
mise with ii. Christians, Church
members, Minister'S of the Gopsel, are
you doing your duty in putting down
this evil? Don't you know if you
were, the victory would already be
won. You min listers are not. Are
you using your pulpits TO decry this
evil? Are you presenting to your
hock the scriptural teaching on this
subject and occurring of them stand
That is your duty are you doing it?
All minister OF the Gospel, don't let
us have whiksey in the state of Va.
because your members vote fol it. If
the church was using this issue il
would not be necessary TO have Anti
Saloon Leagues and Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Unions. 1t is be-
cause they are not, that these organi-
cations exist. We need TO be aroused
on this question. Let us be up and
doing and fight this evil as true
Nirginians. a White Ribboner.

REPUBLICANS IN THE
PRIMARY.

In the primay election recently
held, number OF Republicans i'm
this county, and il is said i'm other
places in the state, voted for the
nomination of Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and for other OIL
ces. AT Richlands, out of % votes cast
so for Mr.. Tucker and for Judge
Mann, at least % OF these were Re
publicans. AS an evidence that these
votes were not cast in good faith the
pledge on the ticket was removed be-
fore the ticket was voted. The worst
feature of this kind of political trick
cry is that "A number of these votes,
so il is said, were secured and cast
through Democratic solicitation.
The question is, should not the
judges, in view of the ruling of the
State Committee, have refused TO al
low these votes TO be deposited if
they knew of il, or have thrown
them out when the vote was count
Ell? When this vote is canvassed in
Richmond what will become of these
mutilated ballots remains to be seen.

A Temperance Victory.

AT this hour-10 a m-the Journal
comedies the nomination of Judge
William Hodges Mann over Harry
st George Tucker for the Office of
Governor by majority of from three
TO live thousand, out of total vote
Of probably sixty five thousand.
Judge Mann's nomination, in our
candid opinion, is attributable TO the
votes of the temperance people, who
seem TO be much stronger throughout
the state than great many city folk
have imagined. 1t is conceded the
big brewery and liquor interests con-
tributed to Judge Mann's election,
certainly in the two largest cities in
the state, but this is a mere handful
OF votes as compared with the thous-
ands Of dry votes Judge Mann got in
every city and county. The election
of Judge Mann more than cancels the
recent "wet" victories gained in
Petersburg, Bristol, Abingdon and
Shenandoah. The moral effect is to
restore the courage and confidence of
those who have fought and are fight
ing whiskey.
In our opinion, the result will
greatly accelerate the movement for
State wide prohibition, which will
to be an increasingly i'm
portant issue, the conclusion Of
which it may reasonably be expected
will transpi re within the tenn of the
next Governor.
Locally, the Anti-Saloon League
doubtless feels encouraged to press the
comins local option contest in this
city, and cetain developments here
yesteday will be substantial asset
Tor the temperance people on the day

ONE MAIN CAUSE OF DEFEAT.

Now, that il is all over, and var
ious reasons are being assigned for
Mr.. fuckers defeat, we add this we
firmly believe for various reasons
which need not be mentioned here.
That Mr.. Tucker defeated himself by
the character and manner of the cam
paign which he waged and permit
ed TO be waged against his opponent.
There are thousands OF people in Vir-
ginia who believe through and
through in square manly deal, and
are opposed i'm toto TO unfair schemes
and devices for the accomplishment
OF even political ends. And further,
that grey hairs and old age and
Christian character are entitled 10
some consideration and respect, parti-
cularly from young men. Young
men, as rule, do not like to hear
their fathers slandered, and will not
stand for il.
If Mr.. Tucker and the Evening
journal, his mOuthpiece, had waged
g. different character OF campaign,
MI. fuckers vote would have been
larger, as sure rs you live. And this
teaching should not be forgotten by
hereafter.
