dered editorial on the primary
question. the Roanoke Times
says:
As to the abuse and vilifica-
ton and i'll feeling stirred up, we
think it is safe to say that we have
seen the worst of that. That fe.

had administered a very full dose
of rebuke and probably we shall
have no more of it.
It must be indeed very stupid
or a very vicious politician who
will in the future adopt the tactics
of Jones of Warsaw. The people
will not stand for abuse and mis-
representation. Even the most
vindictive and foolish politician
will probably learn this lesson af-
ter while. Abuse and mud-sling-
ing from evil-disposed minds and
the fact that man is hunting
for votes in a direct primary in
stead of a delegated convention
does not change his nature
