"As Straight as a String. "
And Still They Come

Listen to the Sage of the Big Stone
Gap Post. The Post of yesterday has
made a wonderful discovery. 1t says ::
''In his speeches Stuart does not
ask Democrats to vote for him. His
whole appeal is to the Republicans.
Obviously he does not want the Dem
ocrats to vote for him, else he would
appeal to them in his speeches for
their support.
Democrats will feel keenly the
slight which Stuart thus gives them
He doesn't want them. If he did, he
would certainly pay some attention to
them. "
This is the very newest. What
next? What's the use for Mr. Stuart
taking up time exhorting Democrats
to vote for him. He is not out to cal
the righteous, but sinners. Come OF
with another. This one is a jolter

Dig Up" or Get Out

IL has come to our notice that
when Mr.. Slemp was at Honaker he
called on Mr.. Sykes, the postmaster
there, for a contribution to the cam
paing fund, which would be large
enough to carry Honaker for Slemp.
Mr.. Sykes balked, and it is under
stood that Mr.. Slemp told him if he
did not ''come across that there
were several Republicans at Honaker
who would. This information is from
an entirely reliable source, and is an
other evidence of the dire straits to
which Mr.. Slemp and his managers
have been put by the enlightened vo-
ters of the district who are going TO
vote for Stuart.
This same" call''has doubtless been
made to other postmasters in this sec
tion, who have been forced to give
up good share of their salary or lose
their jobs.

WHERE THE OLD
ship IS LEAKING
A Prominent Republican
Can No Longer Stand
For Slemp Rule.

According to The Roanoke Times
of yesterday, Mr.. John J. Ally, a
prominent Republican, of Bristol, has
declared his intention to vote for Mr..
Stuart. Mr.. Alley was for years
chairman of the Scott County Repub-
lican Committee, and a prominent and
wealthy man, interested largely in
coal. He says the present stagnation
and hard times is due to the trusts,
which he calls "a band of organized
thieves and pickpockets. He says
also, that the friends of the trusts
should be kept out of the legislative
halls at Washington. Mr.. Slemp was,
and is, an ardent supporter of the
Cannon Aldrich machine, therefore, if
left to me, / would leave him at
home"
