, VT twenty years of continuou
practice?
Judge Sampson has endesret
himself to the people Of the dis
trict by refraining from ''mut
singing" and Islander" and by
conducting clean campaign
relying on his own merits for the
support of the voters, and not
on the dement's of others.
Judge Jampson has been tried
on the Bench. He served as
County Judge of Knox county
from Jan. l, 1906 to Jan. /, 1910.
Ii man is dishonest he will
show it in his official life. Did
you ever stop to think that with
all the slanderand falsehoods put
out by w. Il. Black, you have
never heard the slightest charge
OF wrong or misconduct ON the
part of Judge Sampson for his
entire four years of service as
County Judge of Knox county.
Is that not fine record?
No man claims that he did not
get Justice in his court. No man,
however poor, does not claim he
did not receive kind treatment
and the highest consideration in
Judge SIMPSONS court. W. K.
Black has served as Judge for
only few months, can he say as
much?
Judge Sampson has been tried
and found to be true Judge, IA
man of broad sympathies, fair.
kind, well balanced. and born
with an innate desire To see jus.
tice done between man and man.
A man who always believes in
tempering justice with mercy:
man who always has kind word
and pleasant smile for the un-
fortunate man who comes into
his court. Judge Sampson was
rarely ever known to charge any
man any cost while he was Judge.
Tie was not in office to squeeze
the people of the county. He
tried all the time to uplift and
improve his county and commu-
nifty. He gave Knox county
business administration. He did
more to improve the county than
any of his predecessors, and at
the close of his term left about
ten thousand dollars in the treas
ury. Judge Sampson has had
the good fortune to be successful
in every walk Of life. He served
several years as President of TIE
First National Bank, and the
Bank enjoyed great prospcrsty
under his incumbency of that
office, and the thirty or more
stockholders and directors en-
pressed their sincere regret when
he resigned, and they passed
strong resolutions praising him
and showing the high esteem in
which he was held by his associ-
ates.
Is it not strange that no one
ever heard any claim from any
man that Judge Sampson was
dishonest or had defrauded any
one until w. Il. Black and jim
Sharp got up the X. O. Camp
bell Coal Co. law suit about the
mineral rights.
The II. o. Campbell business
occurred about six years ago. Is
it not strange that Jim Sharp
and the X. o. Campbell Coal
Co. never found out for six years
that Judge Sampson had swindl-
ed them.
The strangest thing about the
whole matter is that they found
it ont and filed the suit on the
same day that W. Il. Black an
nounced himself as candidate
for Judge.
is it not also strange that these
fellows who are now making ali
davits against Judge Sampson
did not find out anything until

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. September 3O.-The stock
market ended the week fairly cheerful.
despite the outbreak of hostilities between
Turkey and Italy, the market taking the
view that the powers will induce Italy To
grant substantial concessions to Turkey
as compensation for Tripol Prices
sisted the effect of the failure of the
Bank of Egypt and the unsettled politi-
cal situation most of the week, except
Turkish bonds, which fell points on
Italys ultimatum to Turkey, but a por-
ton of this was recovered under the gen.
e.a al improvement due TO the optimism
prevailing in other sections at the clos
ing Friday.
Todays' market opened nominaliy lower
in anticipation of early selling orders,
but the absence of the expected offerings
and the appearance of covering On the
idea that settlement of the war will
soon be effected caused some improve
ment, though dealers are inclined to
await further developments before enter
ing on extensive commitments.
United States Steel shares were the
leaders in a series of erratic movements
in the American section, breaking sharply
until Wednesday, when the statement
that the corporation would not be dis
solved caused hasty covering and a gen.
eral improvement. Later the market
closed quiet. with steel shares three
points higher and the rest of the list
from one to four points lower on the
week.
The commencement of the autumn gold
exports. reducing the Bank Of Eneland's
reserve, and the latest political develop
ments in the Mediterranean caused a
sharp rise in discount over the bank
rate. Money is becoming gradually tight
er and the outlook is somewhat clouded.
Money was in good demand and dis
count rates We're tirmer today.
When the stock market opened deal
ers marked down Turkish and Italian
bonds consols and kaffirs in anticipation
of selling orders on the news but
in the absence of sellers the decline
gradually disappeared. The market, how
ever. closed quiet and below the best,
pending further developments. Home rails
were weak on fears of n mining strike.
American securities opened steady and
a fraction higher. but later a part of the
advance was lost under realizing. The
market closed quiet, with prices rang
ing from unchanged to - above ycSter-

NEW YORK. September :,o.-Further
reduction of the short interest was the
handspring which propelled the stock
market today. and the rise which was
interrupted Yesterday by Italy's declara-
tion OF war was resumed. Evidence that
the short element was engaged in more
covering was abundant. The strength dis
played by United States Steel was a
logical result. the short interest in this
stock apparently having reached unusual
~ large proportions. United States Steel

Gold Going to Paris.

An immediate influence toward lower
rates was the engagement yesterday
OF nearly $500. 900 gold for shipment
to Paris There was no indication to-
day that the outward movement of
gold would assume large proportions
The increased offerings of bills led
many bankers TO believe that the ex-
change market would be kept suffi-
ciently low to prevent heavy gold ex-
ports
Some loss in surplus reserve was
recorded in the bank statement. The
actual table which reflected the en-
gagenent of gold for shipment abroad
disclosed a loss of S2.67OOOO There

Steel Stock Manipulation.

Leading up to the fateful meeting of the

steel issues. 1t will be difficult to CON

that size are never undertaken by men
with resources and experience to carry
them through without full knowledge of
sensational developments ahead The
market on Monday was demoraliZed and
at the very climax of panicky iquida-
ton and reckless short selling one house
stepped in and bought .Ni.Oo shares of
steel. Taking the cue from this the
alert professional element jumped in and
bought everything on the list. There was
