Big Stone Gap, Va, August 16.
Announcement is made at Mr.. Slemp's
Office here today that he will open the
forthcoming campaign at Jonesville,
Va, September 5. Hon. ]. L. Gleaves
will be with him on that occasion.
On the same day Hon. T. J. Muncy
and Hon. L. P. Summers will speak at
Marion, Va, thus insugurating the
campaign in two parts of the district
simultaneously.
On September 9th Mr.. Slemp, Mr.
Muncy and Mr.. Gleaves will speak at
Lebanon, in the home county of the
Democratic nominee.
These are the only Republican speak
ing appointments made public at this
time.
There was no foundation for the state
ment recently sent out by the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee at Pu-
laski that Mr.. Slemp will open his cam
paign at Lebanon on August goth, the
same day that Mr.. Stuart opens at Gate
City. Possibly this statement was is
sued from that source upon the basis
of some irresponsible rumor. AS no eff
fort was made to verify such rumor,
there is some uncertainty as to the act
ual purpose of the erroneous announce
ment.
According to his itenerary given out
from Democratic headquarters, Mr..
Stuart is also to speak at Jonesville on
September 9TH, and at Lebanon on Sep
tember 9th. Also that some Democrat
ic speaker will be at Marion on Septem-
Der 5th, the name of the speaker not
being given.
The fact that the two Congressional
candidates will speak on the same day
both at Jonesville and Lebanon will in
sure probably the greatest gatherings
at those two places ever recorded for
either town, and Mr.. Gleaves with Mr..
Slemp, together with some prominent
Democratic speaker who will be with
Mr.. Stuart, will lend their full share to
the interest of the occasion.
Every Republican of Lee and Russell
counties, who can possibly get to Jones'
vile and Lebanon, will be there to well
come and cheer their beloved young
congressman, who has been so vigor-
ously, astutely and successfully leading
them, for several years, in the battles
against the common enemy. To man
they will be present to assure Mr..
Slemp that they are going to fight with
and for him till the last ballot is cor
rectly counted on the night of Novem-
ber Sth.
1t is certain that great number of
Democrats will be at the Republican
meetings, for MIR. Slemp and Mr..
Gleaves will tell of things accomplished,
of steady and consistent efforts to con-
serve the greatest good of an entire ma
tion. Men with good vigorous red
blood coursing through their veins want
to hear about men who have the cour-
age, the ability and the chacter to edo
b things"-they have no patience with
those others who merely talk, and never
even attempt to actually do anything.
Such gifted speakers as Mr.. Muncy
and Mr. Summers will undoubtedly
bring a record breaking attendance tc
the meeting at Marion, all anxious to
hear both the splendid orators and
what they will tell of the gallant and
splendid young republican standard
bearer who has already proven himself
so successful, efficient and faithful a
representative in Congress. Mr.. Stuart
will already have ''shot his bolt" at
Gate City, more than two weeks before,
and interest therein will have ceased.
With these meetings, the campaign
will be fairly and fully launched, and
Republicans all over the district will be
constantly interested to watch the
growing volume of discredit to be ac-
corded Democratic pretensions, in view
of the actual records of that party an6
its candidate.
