Alderman Vests Statement.
When told OF these rrmors yester-
day by a DAILY Press reporter and
asked for statement. Alderman wes'
gave out the following;
Il an surprised 10 hear II suggest
ed that my cooperation with the 9TH
er members OF the retrenchment CON-
mittee OF the city council In an enort
TO curtail the running expenses OF
the municipality was prompted by
selfish ambition to be elected mayor
more than two years hence.
Il cannot believe 1t - necessary Tor
me TO defend myself IN this eommun-
Ity against the offensive ins!nuation
that am actuated by such mean
motives. for do not believe that my
private or public conduct has shown
me 10 be a demogogue But for your
statement that this criticism OF my
conduct is so persistent that you feel
would pass the whole matter by as
street gossip entirely unworthy OF my
notice. But lest my silence, under
the circumstances. should be misun-
derstocd by people whose good opin-
ion I highly value, | would thank you
to state that | have had no idea of
running for the mayoralty, nor do
now conceive that any contingency
can arise which viii cause me 90 con-
slider my candidacy for the Office.
My actions in this retrenchment
matter have been governed entirely
by the necessities OF the case. The
urgent need for retrenchment in the
city's finances was recognized by both
branches without dissenting voice
Extraordinary appropriations during
the current year. 1ggregatlng some
thing like 100000. brought about this
emergency. And il is fact that the
budget must be reduced at least $40.
QUO. or the city's obligations cannot
be met and the public schools main
tanned at their present standard dur
Ing the next fiscal year.
Il feel satisfied, therefore. that this
attempt to discredit the work of the
retrenchment committee, by an asper-
sion OF the purity OF my motives. will
have no weight with the citizens who
themselves have no axe TO grind and
am sure. though different people
may disagree with the committee. as
to the wisdom of its work. in its va
rious details. The disinterested portion
Of the public will believe that the
committee. and each and every MEM

motive but to discharge disagreeable
duty in the way that they honestly
believed would serve the best inter

at D. 10. The voting booths Will be
situated in the same places as III the
last election.
The committee set April % IS the
last day on which candidates may file
their applications with the secretary
of the committee and the secretary
was Instructed to sit at the court
house from . o'clock to o'clock that
afternoon to receive the applications.
The question Of fixing the entrance

until a meeting of the committee next
week when the judges and clerks OF
elections are to be named.
Draw Up Primary Plan.
J. Il. wilkins and r. c. Mitchell
were named a committee to look after
the placing of the booths and the
renting OF the rooms for the judges
and clerks. The plans committee al
so was instructed to draw up the
plan OF the primary and TO submit

vacancy in the First ward will be I'LL
ed at the meeting of the committee
next week.
Little Interest Being Shown.
Thus far comparatively little in
terest has been manifested in the
coming municipal primary and pres
ent indications are that there viii not
be many candidates in the field. Two
members of the common council and
one member of the board Of aldermen
ere to be nominated in each ward.
Thus far there is only one candi-
date for the lower branch from the
Fourth ward. that being Councilman
l.. II. Boiling. who is Offering for re-
election r. Lee Davis has declined
TO run for reelection and no candi-
date has offered TO run In his place.
II is probable that there will be only
two candidates for the lower branch
and one for the upper branch from
this ward and il such is the case
the committee will declare those can
didates the nominees and no primary
will be held in that ward.
There are six candidates in the
First ward, five in the Second ward
and five in the Third ward and pos
sibly ether candidates viii offer from
each of those wards. Some interest
ing fights may develop before the
primary Is held. out as yet neither the
candidates nor the voters are show

Development Of Buchanan

L. F. Jackson, a prominent lumber
man of Honaker, was in BIuefield last
night on his way to Rich Creek. Va.
where he will load two cars of walnut
timber.
Mr.. jackson says the large lumber
plant at Honsker is now in full blast
and IS turning out timber at the rate of
10000 feet per day. The company. it
Is understood. will add another band saw
mill to its plant which will make three
mills complete under one roof with a
capacity of about 100, coo feet per dav.
This company now has in operation
about nine miles of standad guage rail-
road which is being extended into Buch-
anan county through section which
abounds in fine timber and is underlaid
with vast quantities of the very best
grade of domestic coal.
While the Hon.ker Lumber Companv
IS only interested inthe marketing of
the timqer products, it proposes to give

OH, HOW GENEROUS (?)

A recent interview given out by Mr.
George L. Hart, of Roanoke, to tn,
Bluefield Telegraph has greatly excited
the Roanoke Times. In that interview
Mr.. Hart said that the Republicans will
have their usual majority in the Ninth
and that the Roanoke Times editorial,
are regarded as one of the most valued
political assets of the Republicans out
here. The Times says: 1--WE have nc
doubt one of these statements is pre-
cisely as accurate as the other"
Just so, for both of these statements
Of Mr.. Fart are absolutely true. But
they have provoked very generous of.
fer from our contemporary, which al.
ways has an eye to business, especially
to the extension Of its circulation. Here
is the proposition of the Times:
1--WE will mail for him to addresses
he may give 5000 copies every day
from now to election for $4,000 cash.
undertaking to print every day an anti
Slemp editorial.
Our Roanoke contemporary need not
be disturbed about its venomous anti
Slemp editorials being brought to the
attention of the Republicans of the
Ninth district. The Tazewell RepubIi-
can has been attending to that and will
continue to do so. But the Times saws
that if Mr.. Hart declines to accept its
very generous ~ business offer "the
failure must be taken to mean one of
two things-either the Republicans of
cannot command SIS, 600 or they
do not believe they can find 5000 mem
bers of their party in the Ninth district
capable Of reading ordinary Newspaper
type"
The Times could not forbear, even
when offering to pocket, if it could.
s., 900 of Republican money, to make
ling at the impecuniosity and intelh-
renee of the Republicans Of this dis
'rict. But rest assured, if they were
of wealth, they are entirely
100 intelligent to throw their money
'way for stale beer, though it be labeled

Light in Massachusetts,.

The commission appointed by the
Massachusetts Legislature to investi.
gate the cost Of living reports that the
tariff has nothing to do with the in.
crease of prices. Incidentally the re-
port finds that the extension of Cana
dian reciprocity in the matter of manu-
features is inexpedient at the present
time. Really! This might be called
news delayed in transmission. For
at least ten years it has been entirely
obvious to ordinary intelligences that
under no circumstances could Canada
be induced to accept reciprocity in man
ufactured products. Massachusetts has
finally found this out. The world moves
slowly, in some places.

Is given two members and a Senator.
NOW let's see what tbs legislative
aFportlonment, so Just and precious
that Mr.. Stuart helped to adopt il into
the Constitution, has done for the conn.
ties IN MIR. Stuart's. the Ninth Con
gressional District.
Tazewell and Buchanan counties are
made into one legislative district. with
~ 4SS white Inhabitants, and are given
one member
Scott county, with %, O67 white peo-
pie, Is given one member.
Wise and Dickinson counties ara
combined and, with 25.435 whites. are
given one member. Of this humber
Dickinson has 7,747 whites and not a
single negro inhabitant.
Russell county 1.-THE home of Mr..
Stuart), with 1897 white people. is
given one member.
Lee county. with 1916 whites. is
given one member.
Smyth county, with Is, 951 whites. is
given one member.
.Wythe county, with II, 654 whites. is
given one member.
Pulaski county, with 1872 white
inhabitants, has one member.
Giles and Bland counties, combined.
with 10. lS9 whites, have one member.
washington county and Bristol city,
are made into one house district, and.
WITH 1891 white population are given
two members.
While a member Of the constitutional
Convention, Mr.. Stuart published an adj
dress under the head; "White Men
Hear the Truth" In this address he
pledged that the poorest and most un-
educated white man could and would
vote under any of the suffrage laws
to be made. He asserted that the
white race is superior to the black and
that the Democrats were struggling to
write that principle in the organic law.
But MIR. Stuart gave his approval to
the lniqultous apportionment which
makes the politically dead negro in the
Eastern counties of the State the su-
perior of the white men of his own
county and Congressional District, bv
giving the negro three times as much
representation value as the white man
out here. This apportionment is ur-
Just, vicious and mendacious in every
particular. The white vote in the
Ninth District which has escaped the
death-traps which Mr.. Stuart helped to
set has its value destroyed by the az,
portionment which gives the disfran-
chised negroes larger value than is
given to the enfranchised white men.
The Roanoke Times says that Mr..
Stuart loves the men of these noun
tains. This apportionment shows that
ms love for them is of the kind that the
adder bestows with its sting, like the
love that Is felt in the close embrace of
the cobra.

The bugaboo Of high prices, which
was laid-to the tariff, is becoming a
boomerang. Every one knows now
that the increased prices were not due
to the tariff, but best of all, prices are
rapidly falling, and in many instances
are lower than year ago, while wages
are constantly being advanced. Cen
eral industrial conditions are good. The
revenues under the operation of the new
tariff continue to increase. and no sign
of calamity can be seen, and without
calamity, which is always the chief
Democratic asset, that party has no
argument
