MARTIN OR JONES?

of the First District, has an
nounced himself as a candidate
for Senator Martins seat in the
United States Senate. Why
Representative Jones, who has
served his district to the satisfac-
ton of his constituents for so
many years, should be anxious
to give up his seat in order to
get that of Senator Martin, the
people do not understand. SEN
ator Martin has discharged his
duties faithfully and efficiently
and he is today in a position to
do more effective work for the
State of Virginia than Mr.. Jones
could possibly DO.
Senator Martin has made
record in the Senate of the Unit
ed States of which any Senator
might be proud. He has not
prepared speeches to be distribut-
ed to his constituents at the ex-
pense of the government, but he
has guarded the interests of his
people and is always at his post.
The people have not asked tor a
change. 1t is an effort of defeat
ed politicians to secure places
for themselves. Jones was con-
sidered the man best adapted to
accomplish their purpose, and
with the cry OF Down with the
Machine" these politicians ex-
pect to run the affairs of Virginia
with a machine built to their
liking.
The people, however, will de-
mand some stronger argument
than this before they will vote
to retire to private life a man
who has served them faithfully
and who is in a position to dc
more effective work than any
new man who would take his
place.
Our people are conservative
They think for themselves
They inform themselves and are
prompted by the information
which they have acquired. Few
of them are swerved from thel1
convictions by the clap-trap Of
political speakers, who are al
ways ready to canvass the State
and impart the latest informa'
ton to their audiences. They
will rot be frightened by the
terrible pictures of the huge
Machine" which threatens t.
roll over the State and squeeze
out all the liberties which the
people now have. They are moi
prepared to exchange their ole
friends for new ones who ride
only in nickel plated machines
so graceful and so light thai
they put to shame even the --latest
patterns of aeroplanes. They
love the old doctrines and will
not be induced to adopt new ones
even though they be endorsed by
all the defeated politicians Of
Virginia. If Mr.. Jones is a good
representative, as we believe he
is, let him continue to represent
the First District of Virginia,
and we will endeavor to keep in
the United States Senate a man
who can do as much good as any
man in Virginia can do in that
position.

how little and not how much time can

SCRAMBLE FOR
 J|NWR|GHT'S s JOB

Montgomery May 26.-(Special) )-The removal from office of Sheriff P. w. Jin- wright of Bullock county has been the signal for numerous applications for ap- pointment to this office, and Gov. Emmet O'Neal is likely to find the matter of naming Sheriff Jinwrights successor a rather perplexing one. Some 10 or 12 ap- plications have been received at the gov ernor's office, among them several from those who acted as deputies under the deposed officer.
 It is not known when the office will be filld by the governor. but the fact that Bullock county is at present without a sheriff, there being no provision in the constitution allowing a deposed officer to hold over until his successor Is named, will probably cause the governor to make his appointment as early as possible.
 Governor O'Neal is at preesnt out of the city, being in Mobile today in at- tendance on the Bi-Centennial celebra- tion and while he may return to Mont gomery tomorrow. it Is believed that he will leave immediately to attend the commencement exercises at the Universi- ty of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

YALE AND PENNSY
 LEAD QUALIFIERS

\ Cambridge. Mass, May 26.-Followers of the various colleges, who had hoped that Aodays preliminary trials would definite Ny indicate the probable winner of tho fthirty-sixth annual meeting of the h. tercollegiate Amateur Athletic association of America, to be held in the Harvard stadium tomorrow, were disappointed. Pennsylvania and Yale qualified IA men and the experts would regard the finals as a. duel between these two universities Iwere it not for the fact that Cornell with ten men is admittedly strong in the Hong distance runs. Eight Michigan men also came through the afternoon with preliminary honors but the chances of lMichigan for championship honors are not regarded as bright.
 Princeton beat out Harvard for fifth place by single man, the former get ifing seven men to the Crimson's six, twhile Dartmouth was seventh with four linen left in the running.

Dun's RenOrt

New York, May 26-R. G. Dun & Co s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say.
 The business situation as a whole pre- sents a number of clements of improve ment, and while the increase in actual transactions is very slow and in some places not discernible in any appreciable degree, an advance has undoubtedly been made.
 The lower prices on steel bars was the sign of recent development in iron and steel, although the action taken was not iron also turn more sharply in the con sumer's favor all market showing a de- clining tendency and sellers being re- ported as willing to accept orders on the new basis for delivery we'll into the sec ond half of the year. Some very low fig ures are being named on structural steel, which is only fairly active. Agricultural interests are expected soon to cover their requirements
 More active retail buying has been accompanied by broader purchasing in the primary markets for spot and fu- ture delivery of cotton goods for con- verting and manufacturing purposes. Prices on gray and bleached cottons are advancing in steady way. many well known makes being from Ac to Ac per yard higher That prices are still below producing costs is indicated by the large measure of restriction of output that Is announced. Export sales and shipments are ahead of last year in the cotton goods division. In dress goods the trend toward rough effects is marked and wooden mills are getting the benefit as against worsted mills. There Is very active demand for mems wear serges which has disclosed a scarcity of stocks in second hands. The footwear situation shows inn provement and a large volume of fall orders are received from travelling salesmen. Contracts now in the hands of New England manufacturers are much larger than year ago. The leather markets improve and sole leather in all damages Is well estab- lished at the recent 1 cent advance. Domestic hides continue higher with moderate sales of most varieties. De- cided strength is noted in cali skins, both domestic and foreign.

TRADE IMPROVES VERY SLOWLY Dun and Bradstreet Make
 Weekly Report STEEL IS UNSETTLED Business Situation Presents Number of Elements of Improvement AL
 though Actual Transactions
 Are Very Slow
STEEL IS UNSETTLED

New York, May 26.-Bradstreet's will say tomorrow:
 Trade improves slowly, but In a very irregular way. Symptoms of better ment suggested by the trend of affairs last week have not. however. eventu- ated in the sustained spreading inn provements that was hoped for. hence some evidences of disappointment are visible. Retail trade in eonsance with reasonable weather has expanded, but the turnover Is still below anticipation and In various parts of the country bargain sales are eatures. Wholesale quiet. Cotton goods are firmer and there is more doing in leather with prices higher Industrial operations are on the light side, particularly In iron and steel and textile lines. In the latter industry sho ort lin.s have been extended which, coupled with improvement in final distributions, has made for about the most cheerful reports from any one branch of trade. Price cuts and a an "open market" policy as regards some steel products is an unsettling factor in that important industry. Building Is less active than 1t was last season. Collections are about slow to fair. Summed up, the situation as a whole indicates volume of trade that would have been deemed good a few years ago and furthermore suggests optimism enough, despite evident lag ging tendencies, but the main desire still Is to procure more light as to future events, particularly prospective crop yields and tariff changes, before anticipating real sustained ,betterment in trade.
