HIS FIRST RECOMMENDATION.

Judge Mann in his speech at Man.
chester tried to appropriate to himself
the Confederate sentiment which pre-
walls so strongly in the Eastern part of
Virginia. He said if he was made Gov
ernor:
my first recommendation would be
an appropriation for Confederate SOL
diers. That should have the right of
way"
From reports, Judge Mann was such
a magnificent Confederate soldier that
one should not be surprised that his
first consideration would be the old Con-
federate veteran. The Judge was very
eager to kill all the Yankees, but, some
how, he never reached the firing line.
His only recorded service was that of an
agent for the commissary department.
Then, Judge Mann showed his great af-
lection for the battle-scarred Confeder-
ate veteran in the Winter Of 1898 "a,
when he became a supporter of Thomas
S. Martin and helped to defeat Fitz Lee
for the Senate.
His professed love for the Confeder-
ate soldier is built upon a very weak
foundation.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1909-04-08

most Of the latter being friendly to the
Democratic machine. The ants have
again been fooled. There will be no
State convention. This the Richmond
Journal sdmits, and the anti-machine
Democrats will have to abandon al
hope of regaining power, or suffer them
selves to be dragged along at the tail
board of the machine.
The offiee-holder's trust is stronger
than ever. 1t has already selected its
candidates for the coming State cleo
ton, Mann for Governor, and Ellyson
for Lieutenant Governor, and a pretty
pair of political brigands'' they are.
For the other State offices the machine
will select its men, mostly from the ms,
as they all belong to the combine. And
the machine is already getting men in
training for such recslcitrants as Carter
Glass and E. W. Saunders. From the
signs of the times most of the ants, if
not all, will be eliminated from Office
at the coming election and the Con-
gressionsl election next year. Monta-
que, Glass, Jones and their associates
have been caught in a trap and we feel
no sympathy for them.

THREE SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

From press reports we learn that
Judge Mann in his speech at Manches-
ter on the night of the 2nd instant de-
clared that ''he was brought into the
arena by the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, the Methodist, Baptist
and other churches" This meant, of
course, that he was their candidate.
The Rev. McAlister has declared that
the Anti-Saloon League is an organiza-
ton created and supported by the
churches. This means that, if Judge
Mann is the candidate of the churches
that he's the candidate of the League.
Mr.. Cannon, the leader of the Anti
Saloon organization, confessed that he
went to Washington and submitted to
Senator Martin the resolutions that
were adopted at the State Convention
of the League which was held at Nor
folk, and received his approval thereof.
Senator Martin is the boss of the Demo
cratic Machine; Judge Mann is his candi-
date; he is the candidate of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, and, according to Mann's
own testimony, he has been made the
candidate by the Methodist, Baptist and
other churches.
In the face of these facts the parties
have the gall to deny that there are any
combinations or deals between them.
Only very stupid persons will believe
these denials, whether they come from
men who wear the ministerial cloth, the
candidate himself or the membership OF
the political machine.
There is an evident effort being made
to prostitute the Church and a great
moral movement for advancing the in
terests of a corrupt political Machine
and the candidacy of a tainted politica
demagogue.

THURSDAY. APRIL 8. 1909.
WOULD BE A STRONG CANDIDATE.

Sentiment in the State with Republi-
cans has become almost solid for Hon.
A. P. Gillespie as the Republican candi-
date for Governor. The only question
that remains to be settled is whether
he can be induced to accept the nomina-
ton. Heretofore, Mr.. Gillespie has
been very reluctant to enter public life
or accept public Office. While an ardent
Republican he has been disposed to let
others seek and enjoy the honors and
emoluments of office. He was per-
suaded to represent Tazewell county in
the late Constitutional Convention, and
that is the only Office he has ever filed.
We are not authorized to speak for
Mr.. Gillespie and say whether or not he
would accept the nomination for Cover
nor; but he would certainly make g
strong candidate, and would come as
near winning the State for the Republi-
cans as any man who could be named.
He is man of ability, learned in the
law, of the cleanest personal life, fear
less and true and of untiring energy. II
he is chosen to lead the Republicans
this year he will make things pretty
lively for the Democrats.

THEN AND NOW.
denagogu'

1t will be remembered that during
the progress of the last Presidential
campaign the Democratic leaders and
press at the South were strong in their
condemnation of a protective tariff.
Now many Democratic Congressman
from the South are eagerly trying to
have heavy protective duties incorpor-
ated in the Payne Bill for certain pro-
ducts of this section. They want pea
nuts, tobacco, cotton, lumber, sugar,
rice, wool, hides, coal and iron ore put
upon the protected list.
The Democratic Congressman who
are advocating these protective duties
are being assailed by the orthodox free
trade Democrats; but they are respond
ing to the wishes of their constituents
who are interested in the production of
these articles. A Southern Democrat
who is protectionist Is rather inconsis-
tent, but his inconsistency is excusable,
because it is sensible and meritorious.

AT MACHINES MERCY.

Some nine years ago the anti-machine
Democrats in Virginia became anxious
to turn out and turn down the machine
which was then dominating the party.
Carter Glass in his paper, the Lynch
burg News, spoke of the machine as an
'ofice-holder' trust or an organza-
ton of political brigands. The first
movement of the anti-machine men,
mostly the outs" was to cry aloud for
a constitutional convention, thinking
that by the making of a new constitu-
ton they could break the power of the
"Office-holder' trust" or "brigands. -
This plan was adopted and the "bri-
Pands" joined in with the enemy and
made constitution which has proven
t. be trust producer and strengthened,
rather than ''trust-buster"
The next move of the anti-machine
fellows was the adoption of a primary
system for the nomination of candi-
dates. The head of the machine and a
majority of the followers at first &C
lively opposed the adoption of a pri-
mary system. But later, after they
had given the subject careful consider
alton and become convinced of the pos
sibilities of primary when a shrewd
machine has control of the election ma
chinery, the machine Democrats &C
guessed in the establishment of a pri-
mary system for the party. With
nobody opposing it the plan was adopt
ed. From that time till now the ma
machine fellows from all standing or
Influence in the party, and the process
of elimination will be continued until all
the opposition has been overcome by
benevolent assimilation" or by driving
it into obscure private life. The anti
machine men have discovered their
errors too late. They now realize that
they set trap and have permitted
themselves to be caught in it. Carter
Glass and his class of politicians are
only tolerated time, and they will
have to step aside. The process of
elimination has nearly reached them, it
will reach them next year.
Made desperate by the situation, the
actis conceived the idea of gaining
some measure of relief by the calling
and holding of State Democratic con-
vention to make a platform and reor-
ganize the party. They have found the
primary a death-trap and want to grad
ually lift themselves from it. The first
step in this movement for relief and
escape was made by the Lynchburg
News, owned and controlled by Mr..
Glass. A few days ago it came out in
a flaming editorial in favor of holding
a State convention for reorganization
and making a platform for the candi-
dates on the State ticket. The News
was promptly supported in the sugges-
ton by the Richmond Journal, the Pc
tersburg Index-Appeal, the Norfolk
v.rginian-Pilot and other strong Demo
cratic papers. Other Democratic pa
psrs As promptly opposed the scheme.

The Mystery Of Charlie Ross.
New York World.

New York World.
The Whitla kidnapping, the most SEN
sational since the Cudahy case at Oma-
ha, has naturally stirred memories of
the Charlie Ross abduction and as nat
urally brought out a new claimant as
the principal of that unsolved mystery.
A brakeman in a Pittsburg suburb has
long cherished the belief that he is
Charlie Ross Charlie Brewer, a farm
hand killed on the railroad track near
Middletown, N. Y, last February, en-
tcrtained similar belief. In 1906 a
Texan claimant appeared. No doubt
there are many others. When Chris
tian Ross died, in 1897, he had spent
$50, 900 in a vain effort to locate his lost
son. He said in 1890 that he had false
clues leading to all parts of the coun-
try.
Charlie Ross, boy of four years. was
abducted from Germantown, Pa, in
July, 1874, by peddlers, as was sup
posed. A ransom of $50, 900 was asked
by his abductors, who are generally re-
puted to have been the two men who
were fatally shot while attempting bur-
glary in Bay Ridge in December, 1875.
The accepted theory with regard to the
lads fate is that he died on boat after
three months of captivity and was cast
into the waters of Newark bay.
However that may be, the idea has
persisted in many quarters that Charlie
Ross is alive, just as in Louisiana the
tradition long obtained that Marshal
Ney was living there, having been shot
at only with blank cartridges by his ex-
ecutioners. No doubt for generations
to come claimants will crop out. The
fate of the unfortunate lad has become
our great American mystery, our Kas-
par Hauser and Man-in-the-Iron Mask
case, the echoes of which will continue
to be heard.

time and the place for holding a State

of the State. The party is full of spirit
and hope, and will make a most aggres-
