WHAT IS POLITICS
WITHOUT MONEY?
Question Is Up to Republicans
of Ninth District-May Be
Defeat or Jail.

Whether or not the Republican faith
full will do battle without the usual
sinews of war is the question that IS

the Ninth Virginia District, according
to visitors in the city from the - -
western part Of the state. Who. .er
or not the ammu milton will be furnish
ed them is still another question.
For years, as everybody knows,
money has been a most important fac'
tor in the politics of the Ninth Dis
trict. From the very inception OF the
poll tax requirement Of the Constitu-
ton Its value was realized and APP
piled by Republican leaders. At first

sorry notes were taken from the voters
for the amount Of the tax. In return
for the Joan of the money. stu
later. becoming holder. workers paid
the taxes OF voters en- block in the
ofices Of the county treasurers.
1t is equally as well known that
the Republicans played this game
alone for years. since the Democrats
had no money to speak Of. either In
1902, 1904. 1906 or 1908. Two years
ago both sides took a hand. paying all
