politics IS 20 nominate "a straight
ticket for every county office ard
vote the strength of the party for
the ticket"
How does this agree with the promise
OF the Clinch Valley News made on the
4th Of August that the solid Democratic
vote would be given to DIR. Greever?
Do you see the cloven hoofY The News
says further: Lets have a candidate
for clerk and vote for him solid. Let's
have candidate for treasurer and vote
for him candidate for supervisor and
vote for him solid, and so with ali the
offices.
Republicans, dc you see the cloven
hoof now? Don't it look like the Demo-
Gratis think they have made fools of the
Republicans and spread so much discord
in their ranks that they can run over
them hike flock Of silly sheep?
On the goth Of October the Clinch
Valley News had another editorial urg-
ing the Democrats to line up behind
Mr.. Graham and all the candidates for
district offices. And about two weeks
ago the Democratic county committee
was called together to consider the can
didacy of Mr.. Graham; and the commit
tee refused to endorse him. That was
considered Greever victory by DR..
Greever's friends. Was it an act of 6u-
plicity or was it an act of cowardice?
No matter which, it should not be ap-
proved by either sincere Democrats or
Republicans. On last Saturday the
Democratic committee again met to
consider the clerkship matter, and at
that meeting it gave its endorsement to
Mr.. Graham. Was this an act of treach-
cry or cowardicel Good men will think
it was both. And the said committee
ordered and there has been sent out the
following to every Democratic voter in
the county:
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COMMIT
TEE ENDORSES S. NJ. GRA-
HAM FOR CLERK.
Tazewell, Va, Oct. %. 1911.
Dear Strive beg to call your
attention to the following action and
resolution taken by the Democratic
county committee of Tazewell coun-
ty at its meeting held here on this
day:
we, the Democratic county COM
mittee, hereby unanimously endorse
} Mr.. S. M. Graham's candidacy for
clerk of Tazewell county, and call
upon all Democrats to Loyalty stand
by Mr.. Graham, and to earnestly
work and vote for him and do every-
thing within their power to bring
: about his election, and the chairman
and secretary of the committee are
hereby instructed and directed to

1t is manifest that DIR. Greever anc
his friends have been treated with cruel
treachery by the Democratic lead.
ers, and this opinion is held by many
Democrats who were sincerely for him.
The entire treacherous scheme of the
Democrats, who have been "playine
politics., is now laid bare. The Repub.
licans must see the cloven hoof. Will
the Republicans fall into the trap that
has been set for them? Tazewell Re.
publicans are too smart and loyal fol
that, we believe. The time for concen.
tration has come. Let the Republicans
of the county now meet and confer and
concentrate their vote so as to elect Re-
publicans for every office, county and
district. The Republican candidate who
will now dicker with the Democrats
should do so at his peril.
A WARNING.
