DANGER TO THE NATION FROM AT
LEAST ONE CORPORATION. Prank b.
Kellogg, the Government Attorney,
in the Standard Oil cases of New
Jersey in the Federal Court, lately
held up that company as a national
danger and a constant menace to the
country. 1t should, he declared, be
eradicated from the business world.
He predicted that if left untram-
meled, that it would control every
industry within the next ten years.
This is in keeping with the admoni-
tons of Washington. in his farewell
address. to beware Of the growth of
moneyed, or corporate power, and
the Vaccinations of protested friends
from within, before the open acts of
foes from without. 1t is well at this
late day to listen to the words of
prOphesy.

Mr.. SLEMP'S GAMPAlGN
Further Appointments For Speaking BY
Himself and Other Republicans
of Prominence.

An announcement is made at republi-
can headquarters that Mr. Slemp will
continue his speaking campaign this
week in Wise county, his first appoint
ment being at Appalschia on today at
o'clock p. m. On the following day,
Friday, September 16, Mr.. Slemp will
sptak at Norton at 8 o'clock p. m. On
Saturday, September II, he will speak al
Tacoma, at o'clock in the afternoon
and go thence to Coeburn, to speak
there at 8 O'Clock that evening. He is
to be accompanied at each of these
places by Hon. A. L. Blair of New York,
Hon. L. P. Summers of Abingdon, and
Hon. A. P. Crockett of Coeburn.
Mr.. Blair is one of the most accom-
plished and interesting orators in pup
lie life. He is thoroughly versed on all
the important subjects and problems of
the day and his addresses are always
instructive and entertaining. The
characteristic eloquence of both Mr..
Summers and Mr.. Crockett is well
known in the Ninth district.
hr Slemp is looking forward to the
continuation of his canvass with gen.
uine pleasure. He has expressed him.
self as deeply gratified at the unusually
enthusiastic ovations rendered him.
both at Jonesville on last Monday and
at Lebanon on last Tuesday. The spirit
OF goodwill and unqualified assurances
OF loyal support accorded him on evarv
hand were so earnest, vigorous and sin
cere that he Is encouraged beyond
measure.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the good people of his present
home county will turn out almost en-
masse to assure him of their com.
plete allegiance to his cause and cheer
him on his way to the magnificent vic
tory at the polls. They are appreciative
OF all that Mr.. Slemp has done for then
and understand thoroughly the signif.
cance of his determined and unyielding
effort in congress to maintain an
adequate duty on coal. The wealth anc
prosperity of Wise county is based al
most exclusively upon their coal inter.
ests, and the successful fight which Mr..
Siemp fought for retention of the duty
on coal operates to insure the confirm.
ance thereof.
1t is also stated that a more complete
list of speaking appointments will be
given out in the near future.

the State senate. The house complex
ion is in doubt, but it will quite likely
remain Republican.
Returns from ali but 48 of the elec-
tion districts of the State show a plu-
rality for Plaisted for governor of 8. 500.
In the second congressional district.
which was formerly represented by the
late Nelson M. Dingley, Daniel j. Nc
Gillicuddy was elected by about 8, 900
majority over John P. Swasey, the in
cumbent, and Congressman Ed C. Bur-
leigh, who has represented the third
district since 1892, was defeated by
Samuel w. Gould, Democrat, by very
small margin. Asher c. Kinds. Repub-
lican, in the first district, won over his
Democratic opponent, William NJ. Pen
nell, by narrow margin, but it looks
as though Congressman Frank E. Gu
ernsey, Republican, has been defeated
in the fourth district by George H.
Hanson, Democrat, by small vote.
The first district seat was formerly
occupied by Speaker Thomas B. Reed,
while the late Charles A. BoutelIe was
distinguished for many years as the
fourth district representative.
There will be at least 16 Democratic
senators out of 81, and As Democratic
representatives out of Isl in the next
legislature, which indicates that the
Republicans will name the successor to
United States Senator Eugene Hale
next winter.
The vote for governor with the 4S
small districts missing was: Plaisted,
Democrat, 72, ,70S; Fernald, Republican,
63, 7l5. The corresponding vote in 1906,
also an off year, was Cobb, Republican,
6S, ,OS7; Davis. Democrat, LISA.

INDEPENDENTS
FOR HOOPER
Candidacy Of Republican Nominee Endorsed
by DemOeTatS-POSSibIe Break in the
Solid South Indicated.

Nashville, Tenn, September 14.-The
Independent Democrats of Tennessee
today endorsed the candidacy of Cap
tain Ben w. Hooper, Republican nomi-
nee for Governor, and further cut loose
from the regular Democratic wing by
referring the latter's harmony resoIu-
ton to new Independent State execu-
tive committee without discussion.
The possible break in the solid South.
outlined in today's convention, extends
only to one Office, the Governorship.
There is ''gentleman's agreement
between the independents and the Re-
publicans that neither party will invade
the others safe" legislative territory
and this, the independents say, insures
a Democratic legislature.
The convention was run off without n
ripple of opposition to the program of
the leaders. During the speechmaking
former Attorney General jeff McCarn
defined the delegates general opinion
as to their straight Democracy when he
said:
I'm straight Democrat and I'm
going right straight to the polls and
vote for Capt. Hooper"
The pardon of former Senator Car
mack's slayer was denounced repeated
ly by the speakers.
The convention ended with Captain
Hooper's address which was wildly ap-
plsuded.
