MR.. YOuNG's COMPLAINT.

Former Congressman Young claims
that he has been made "scape
goat" He declares that the powers
that be in Virginia politics have sac
riflced him in order to quiet popular
ciamor, and that. having stillad the
storm, they are preparing to accom-
plish their own ends by handing
over the Democratic nomination for
congress to particular friend of Sen
ator Martin.
Mr.. Young, having lost his certiii.
cate of nomination as Democratic
nominee for congress because an in.
vestigation held upon the demand OF
the public showed that the primary
in which he won on the face of the
returns was tainted by fraud and cor
ruption. Is now a candidate for nomi-
nation at the hands of the conviction
ordered by the district committee. So
ia Congressman Maynard, whose sup
porters in the recent primary. accord
ing to reports Of the investigation.
were as deeply involved in frauds as
the adherents of Mr.. Young. There
are three other candidates. among
them State Senator Z. f. Holland
OF Suffolk. who is supposed TO be the
most formidable opponent of Young,
and who lis the man referred TO by
Young as Senator Martins friend.
Perhaps there is some truth in Mr.
Young's claim that he has been made
"scape-goat" But is that any rea-
sen why the respectable people of the
Second district should vote to send
him to congress? No doubt there are
hypocritos now condemning Young
and hoyhng for fair elections who
helped To vote dead men. or at least
thoroughly approved OF the methods
used In the recent primary. until af-
ter the storm of popular protest be-
gan to rage. But that doesn't clean
Mr. Young's skirts. nor make him 1T

TUESDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1910.
NOT FAIR TO MR.. WISE OR TO
LOCAL DEMOCRATS.

In discussing the nomination OF
George helms Wise. OF this city, for
congress by the Republicans OF the
First district, the Northern Neck
News Is not altogether fair to Mr..
Wise or to the Democrats OF Newport
News.
The News says. And so, IL seems.
the Republicans OF this congressional
district have been induced, after all,
TO give Mr.. George helms Wise, a
second nomination. The Interior pur-
pose of Mr.. Wise in seeking renom-
nation at the hands OF his party Is
perhaps not far TO seek" II the Re
prblicans were induced" to give Mr..
Wise the nomination II is news TO
the people of this city. 1t has been and
is stll believed here that the Newport
News lawyer not only dld\not seek
the nomination, but would have been
very willing to allow somebody else
10 have the empty honor. In fact,
there is ground for the suspicion that
Mr.. Wise, knowing that Congressman
Jones has made the district fine
representative and that he cannot be
beaten by a Republican. would not
have offered no objection had the
Fredericksburg convention seen fit to
make no nomination.
Speaking of the overwhelming de-
feat Mr.. Jones administered to the
Newport News man two years ago.
when Mr.. Wise failed to carry a sin.
gle county in the district. The News
says:
Despite his much Wanted person
al popularity he lost his own city by
a large majority. Indeed, for the
first time in the history of Newport
News. every ward in that city went
Democratic, giving substantial mai
jority against the man whose Repub-
lican friends had proclaimed him as
its 'fayorite son.
This is where The News Is unfair
to Newport News Democrats. AS a
matter of fact except under extraor-
binary circumstances no ward in
Newport News has gone Republican
since the new constitution went into
effect. Under normal conditions, the
Republicans are outnumbered here BY
at least two or three to one. and no
ward has been represented In the city
council by a Republican since the ne
gro vote was eliminated. In the last
congressional election Mr.. Jones car
ried the city by about two hundred
majority. This was n compliment to
Mr.. Jones. II is true. in view of the
fact that his opponent was q local
man, but. as this paper remembers II,
Mr.. Wise polled better than a normal
Republican vote. Certainly his vote
in this city was larger than any Re
publican from elsewhere in the dis
tr:ct could have. mustered.

stakes Of $4,000 for 2:24 trotters holds the
place of honor This is considered one Of
the leading fixtures of the light harness
turf. and although established in 1899, the
only change in the conditions since then is
limiting the race to five heats.
The Chamber OF Commerce stakes of
S. 900 for PAGERS is for the 2;lS class, the
same as last year. with no restriction as
70 rigging. The 21l trot Is for $1,000 again.
This race has been interesting since It was
the feature In 1903 and there is large
field of horses to draw from.
The new early closing event Is for 4-year-
old trotters for 5000 1t is contended that
there are more fast trotters OF this age
than ever before, and 1t is expected that

ply:

cut beating to Tommy Gary Of Chicago last
night before the Memphis Athletic associa-

holding on in several rounds. In the final
he seemed in distress and held on until the
referee wedged in. Gary enjoyed the ad-
vantage in the first two rounds, but only
in the sixth, thereafter, was he able to
mix with Bresnahan with anything like an
even break In the sixth, he cut the Omaha
boys eye inflicting an ugly wound with a
hard right. Bresnahans ear was also partly
torn. Gary suffered bloody nose in the
seventh. Jim Christy, wrestler, knocked

An attempt to gain information from

novel one for that body, inasmuch as

that one Of the members of the commission
