A Great Fight

The democrats and progressive re-
publicans made a great fight in New
Mexico. While they failed to carry
the state Legislature because of the
gerrymandering of the state, they sur
prised their friends outside by what
they did accomplish and proved that
New Mexico is fighting ground. The
democrats in the Legislature should
begin at once to insist upon the rati-
fication of the income tax amendment
to the constitution. That ought to be
the first act passed by the Legislature,
and the second ought to be the sub.
mission of the initiative and referen.

beginning for the new state. The

success in the contests yet to come

Ninth Democratic

The fact that the Ninth Congress
ional district went Democratic in the
election of November z is abundantly
shown by the official figures, filed in
the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth. Taking those ten
counties alone in which there were
direct fights between the paties, and
using the vote for candidates for the
House of Delegates as a basis, it is
seen that the Democratic majority
was 434. This does not include the
the counties of Bland, Giles and Pu-
laski, where the Democratic nominees
for the House had no opposition.
Counting these, the majority for the
party was 1854.
The fairest basis probably to reach
conclusion as to the result is to
take the ten counties referred to and
to add The normal democratic major
tiles in the remaining three. Putting
this at 300 in Giles, 300 in Pulaski
and tie in Bland, a majority for
the Democrat s in the November cleo
ton of more than 1000 would be
shown. The vote by counties was
as follows, the figures being those for
the House of Delegates, save in Scott

tional Harvester Company, of Ameri-
ca, and awarded at the New York
Land and Irrigation Exposition to
William ii. Dorm, of Glover, Halifax
county, the South assumes the lead

growing, and Virginia leads the
South.
The report of the success of Virgin
in corn the great show held at Mad

thing worthy of more than passing

Saw Wife Killed

Mrs. j. E. Dudley, of Hickman,
received few days ago letter from
Pittsburg conveying the particulars
concerning the death of her sister,
Mrs. Salone Dickinson, who was killed
by train near Pittsburg last week.
Mrs Dickinson was engaged in boil
ing apple butter in the yard on the
day the fatal accident occurred, and
had attempted tostep across the doub-
lie track railroad which runs by the
Dickinson home. when an unobserved
special train approached at very
rapid rate of speed and struck her,
causing instant death. The accident
was witnessed by her husband and
other members of The family, but il
all occurred so quickly that no one
was able to render aid. The remains
of Mrs. Dickinson were inferred at
Carringon. her home, which is a sub

Never Again"

Will not be candidate" says
Mr.. Bryan; 81 will not he the demo-
cratic nominee. He does not aspire
to lead the party in another cam
paign, eXclaiming, "Never again
Never againl" Yet Mr.. Bryan has
little to regret. He made three great
campaigns, covering nearly every
state in the union and setting a new
pace for campaigners. His eloquence
made an impression ON the millions
who heard him, which time has not
effaced. He numbers his friends by
the hundred thousand, and while he
failed to secure the presidency he has
the satisfaction of knowing that a
number of the reforms he advocated
have been accomplished.
MIR. Brayn's influence is undeniable.
He has never lost his hold on his own
section. and he is still a power in
his party. He can give valuable as
sistance in the campaign of 1912 and
assure the success of the democracy.
AS he exclaimed in his famous mid
night speech at the st. Louis conven-
ton: "You may question whether
have fought a good fight; you may
say that l have run my course, but
you cannot deny that have kept the
faith
The Nebraskan who was three
times its nominee for president may
be expected to keep the faith" and
in the campaign of 1912 give the de-
mocratic nominee the hearty support
that will assure his election. -Balti-

Dead Conductor Known Here

Clarence Clapp, the Northern Pacific
conductor, killed few days ago near
Spokane, Wash, while in charge of
his train, as told by the Associated
Press Dispatches, was raised at
Cleveland, Russell county, and is
we'll known on the Clinch Valley. He
was the son of Dr.. Clapp, of PEN
nington Gap, and brother of Mrs.
Lucy Clapp Dickinson, of Tazewell,
the we'll known lady telegraph opera
tor. Young Clapp went west several
years ago and went on the Northern
Pacific as freight brakeman, later
being promoted to conductor. He
leaves wife in Spokane. The siste,
spoken of in the dispatches residing
at Culdesac, Idaho, is Mrs. M. j.
Miles, wife of the former Norfolk and
Western agent at Tazewell, who
went west some five or six years ago
to accept position with the Great
Northern Railroad. Clapp, in some
inexplicabie manner, fell under hi.

badly mangled.

A Eight Ahead

The election returns answer the
claims of enthusiasts on both sides
who expected landslide their way.
If anything can be judged from the
vote cast on November z, there is
fight ahead of both parties. The Re-
publicans made gains in the east
where several elections were held.
while the democrats made some gains
in the west. They gained congress.
ional district in Kansas, where a
progressive democrat was running
against republican who promised tc
support Mr.. Tafts policies. The vic
tory in New Mexico is very crafty
ing to the democrats, but the afct that
the republicans won the legislature in
New York alnd New Jersey, elected
their governor in Rhode Island by an
increased majority, reduced Governor
Foss' majority of a year ago and car
ried Maryland, these things indicate
that the predatory interests are lin
ing up back of Mr.. Taft and that our
party is going to have tremendous
fight on hand to dislodge the inter-
ests.
The democrats will rejoice over the
return of Kentucky to the democratic
fold. Governor McCreary's majority is
very large one, and the election of
Congressman James to the Senate is
assured. James will add a giants
strength to the democratic side in
the senate and will greatly aid the
reform forces. The gains in several
cities in Ohio are encouraging, al
though local issues have contributed
largely to the result. In Nebraska the
situation is apparently unchanged.
An effort was made to enlist the aid
of the progress i've repub licans in
carrying the state ticket, but this
failed, and the republicans carried the
state. Under the circumstances the
republican victory in Nebraska is
likely to encourage the friends of
Mr.. Taft and to discourage those who
have counted on preventing his nom
nation. The Third Nebraska district
elected democrat to succeed dem
ocrat in congress. II any democrat
has expected to carry the east with
plutocratic democrat, he nigh t as
well give up the idea. There is no
possible chance of the democrats get.
ting the Wall Street support. If they
win, they must win with the aid of
the progressive republicans, and they
can not hope for that unless their
candidate is man about whose pro-
gressiveness there is no doubt. Let
the democrats grid themselves for the
fight and from now on demand plat
form and ticket in harmony with the
progressive sentiment of the countr Y.
