SAYS SLEMP WILL
WIN WITH EASE
Ninth District Leader Declares
There is No Doubt About
His Election.

Republicans in the Ninth Virginia
district do not concede a solitary point
in favor OF Henry c. Stuart, demo-
cratic nominee for Congress against
Bascom Slemp. incumbent. Leaders
OF the G.. o. p. unhesitatingiy assert
that the republican nominee will car
ry the Ninth by the usual 1000 ma
3ority.
However. II Ia admitted that the
democrats are making more agrees
sive opposition In this republican
stronghold than has been done in
years.
]. w. McGayock. chairman of the
republican committee OF Wythe coun-
ty, and member of the district and
State executive bodies. was In Rich
mond Saturday. He arrived from
Washington. where he haa been in
conference with MIR Slemp.
did you find Mr., Slemp sanguine 2"
Mr. McGayock was asked.
"Sanguine?" Mr.. McGavock laugh
ed. why, Mr.. Slemp has never had
the slightest idea that he will be de-
feated. The Slemps have always been
elected IN the Ninth, and this year
will prove no exception.
There is no question of the cleo
ton OF the republican candidate. 1t
Is a mere question of counting the
votes" declared Mr.. McGavock. He
continued: Mr.. Stuart will not re-
duce the majority of Slemp over BY
ars. The republicans in our district
have not been caught mapping and
have met activity with activity. We
are ready for the fray. II will be a
clean campaign and personalities will
not find favor with either party.
THE democrats chief complaint
against MIR, Slemp, who will be our
nominee. In that he is unknown in
New York. People there have con-
fused him with his father. They are
also complaining that he has stood
by his party and has not trained with
'the free traders. Champ Clark and
others.
I'VE eoncede that Mr.. Stuart will
carry Bristol city and the county of
Giles He will not carry Russell. Our
majority there will be 500 or 400.
While the democrats have been
concentrating their attention upon the
Ninth district. they have forgotten the
Fifth. Mr.. Parsons will carry that
district this fall over Mr.. Saunders
and will be given the certificate for
the present term. While our Demo
cratic friends have been trying to
solve the problem OF whether our
present Congressman from the Ninth
Is his own father or the son OF that
worthy sire, that young man has been
; busy attending to his duties, passing
bills, getting appropriations for his
district and strenuousiy assisting the
election committee in arriving at the
proof that Parsons was elected.
we wish to make the fight in the
Ninth upon the respective records or
the two men. We will defend Slemp' =
record. and hope the democrats will
defend Stuart's."
Mr.. McGavock will return to his
nome Saturday night. Most Of his
tina here he spent at the Federal
building. discussing various questions
with local republicans

WASHINGTON. II. c., June as
A remarkable letter, written by Mr..
Perry Belmont, OF New York, to a
friend OF MIR. William J. Bryan in
Washington. in which some sensa-
tionai statements are made concern
ing Colonel Roosevelt, interesting
facts given about his spectacular tour
OF Europe and some startling predic-
items made as TO his future. Is in the
possession of General Isaac X. Sher-
wood. member OF Congress from Ohio.
The letter, evidently a personal
one, sheds some light upon the man
ner In which Roosevelt Is viewed In
Europe, and practically charges that
bis entire tour was purpeseiy planned
with q view OF his triumphant return
To the White House. 1t Will probably
cause a howl of rage from the vicinity
Of Oyster Bay and result In the
prompt initiation of Mr.. Belmont into
the AnaniaS Club.

that the press agents Of the Roose-

WENDLIAG RUN GOWN AT LAST
Alma keIlner's Murderer Arrested In
San Francisco-Dragged From
Under Sink.

San Francisco, Cal-Dragged from
beneath sink in the Mushroom of
a Third street lodging house where
he had been hiding for twenty-four
bours, Joseph Vending, accused OF
the murder of little Alma Kellner,
Ia louisville, KY, the man whose
twistings and turnings have baffled
the police for months, was arrested
Saturday by Detectives Burke and
Ryan of the local police department.
Vending admitted his identity, but
protested his innocence of the crime.
A few hours after the arrest Cap
tain of Detectives ]. P. Carney OF
Louisville arrived to learn that his
11,OOO-mile search for Vending had
been crowned with success. 1t was
the final telegraphic tip from the Ken
lucky detective which led to the cap
ture.
In his relentless pursuit of the sup
posed murderer, Carney many times
lost the trail, but the secret OF the
whereabouts of his quarry always lay
with Mrs. Cora Muena, a milliner OF
Hume, Mo. 1t was from her home
that Carney flashed the information
that led to the arrest.
