2PR|MAR|ES FOR
MAYORALTY RACE
If One Candidate Gets Majority
of All Votes Only One Will
Be Necessary.

The consensus of opinion among city
politicians today was that there would
be no more announcements for mayor
and that probably all the five cand-
dates now in the race would keep in
the running until the Democratic pr-
mary. 1t was agreed that there neces-
sarily will be a second primary be-
tween the two candidates receiving the
highest number of votes in the first
primary, for the nominee for mayor
must receive a majority uf all votes
cast
With the adjournment of the legis-
lature in sight, the candidates today
were preparing formally to launch their
campaigns. The formal announcements
OF Mayor VIM and Alderman John S.
Gambler that they viii not enter the
contest has greatly simplitied matters.
But the alignment of the different po-
litical forces still is complicated
Councilman Aldine Chambers has de
clared his platform to be progressive

We confess to disappointment. We
did long to have the Tazewell Republi-
can IN the same district with the Roam

stands, we must trust the boys out there
to pitch in and take Tazewell as they
have taken Wythe, Pulaski, Washing
ton, Dickinson and Buchanan. ANY
how, we will have a Democratic presi-
dent next year and our TazeweU con
temporary will squirm under that re
suit about as nimbly and viciously as II
would have done if amputated from its
friend and patron saint, the Hon. Bas-
com Slemp.
IL our view the representative of Hal
flax who is reported to have begged SO
hard to have his county kept in the
Sixth did not do much credit to his
county or himself or show much regard
for his party. Apparently he prefers
political safety in the Sikh to doing
party service and securing a member of
congress for the Fifth This end of the
Sixth is not afraid of u fight and was
entirely willing to take chances of let
ting Halifax go and annexing Giles.

We can do work at this end of the dis
trict. If poor Halifax is too timid to
venture on the Democratic firing line
we must keep her under our protection
and leave her in charge of the baggage
train.
And, in this end of the State and in
the Fifth district especially, "go TO
Halifax" will have new significance
of ignominy and ignominious consign-
ment. We can paddle our own canoe
and take care of ourselves.

REDISTRICTlNG GERRYMAEDER FAILS.

That poor old degenerate, the Roam
oke Times, is weeping and wailing and
crashing its gums Git has no teeth be-
cause the Democrats of the General
Assembly have ''fiunked," as the Times
puts it. In other words, the Demo-
cratic members of the House of Dele
gates have refused in caucus to sanction
the redistricting bill reported by Martin
Williams, of Giles. Forty-two halfway
righteous men were found in the Demo-
cratic Sodom who were unwilling to
subscribe to the maliciously wicked and
grossly dishonest scheme which the
Times has boasted of having originated
for outraging the Ninth and hideouslv
deforming the Sixth district. These
forty two members were unwilling to
place themselves before the world as
violators of the constitution they had
sworn to support. We are glad these
forty-two Virginians, who are Demo-
Gratis, proved themselves honest and de-
clined to accept as righteous the claim
of the Roanoke Times that I'VE can
make it any shape we like" in referring
to the forming of the Sixth congression-
al district.
That the Times is greatly chagrined
at the failure of its evil purpose is evil
denced by its editorial, "Flunked. ="
which we publish in another column.
And that the Times is disturbed by the
generally accepted opinion as to its mo-
tive for taking Tazewen, Bland and
Giles from the Ninth and attaching
them to the Sixth district, is proven bv !
ITS now anxious effort to conceal that
motive. Who can doubt that the i'm
pelling motive of our Roanoke contem-
porary was a strong desire to punish
and crush Carter Glass? He is so cor
daily disliked by the Machine and Mr..
Stuart that the Times, as their loyal
champion, could not fail to entertain
the same feeling.
We again express our qualification
that Democratic General Assembly
has refused to adopt the suggestions of
the Roanoke Times-a rebuke to its in
telligence and honesty of purpose.
There is now some hope of restoration
of political fairness and honesty in the
State; and the Times should be wise
enough to begin an effort of self-refor-
nation.

the constellation is glorious one. His
tory affords no other example of such
expansion sni growth of self-govern-
ing states, each separate from the other
and yet united as one nation. In spite
of much that people might wish were
different, yet the fact remains that this
union Of self-governing states is tri-
umph of democracy and popular govern
ment. The triumph appears all the
greater when one thinks of the diverse
elements of race, language and customs
of the people who form these states
and the TO less diversity of interests

If the old axiom of HE who laughs
last laughs best" be true, then the Hon.
Carter Glass, of Lynchburg, has a good
loud laugh coming to himself. Recently
when it was heralded throughout the
state that Tazewell, Bland and Giles
were to be taken from the Ninth and
placed in the Sixth district, it was the
open boast of those in Tazeweil who
follow the fortunes of the Martin-Swsn-
son machine, that it was being done to
GUST the Sixth district Congressman
from his present position and retire him
to private life, and they were in great
glee. Now that the Legislature has de-
termined that no redistricting is to be
done and that Mr.. Glass is not to be
crowded into the same district with
Martin Williams and Peyton st. Clair.
both of whom have been troubled for
some time by the buzzing of the con-
gressional bee, the laugh appears to be
very much in his favor, and must cause
the little political wiseacres around
here to feel as If they have been "sot
upon" by someone. Next time thew
will probably not count their chickens
before they hatch.

morality and unclean politics. In des-
peration. with nope that it might VET
rescue its vicious redistrieting scheme
from the scrap heap, ire Times sought
to frighten the honest Democrats of the
General Assembly into supporting the
Williams redistricting plan. The scare
crow it uses is a report that the four
Republican State Senators have entered
INTO conspiracy with the anti-state-
wide prohibition Senators to defeat the
Jordan bill in lieu of having the Ninth
district untouched. Just think of the
warmest advocate of the liquor inter
ests becoming so desperate as to offer
to desert its dearest friends if it can
only have its immoral and disgraceful
scheme carried through. A mere trick.
too apparent to be concealed from
those who are familiar with the well es-
tablished reputation of the Times for
peculiar political immortality.
But the most amusing confession of
mingled disappointment and content
ment we have ever read appeared in the
editorial columns Of the Times the morn
ing after the Democratic caucus had
defeated the Williams redistricting
measure. The Times said:
1--WE confess to disappointment.
We did long to have the Tazewell
Republican in the same district with
the Roanoke Times and maui it
little with Roanoke city majorities.
Anyhow we will have a
Democratic president next year and
our Tazewell contemporary will
squirm under the result about as
nlmbly and viciously as it would
have done if amputated from its
friend and patron saint, the Hon.
Bascom Slemp."
Who knows but that this bitter disap-
polntment to the Roanoke Times was a
olesslng IN disguise? Who knows but
that the Tazewell Republican would
have thrown aside its puny country
weekly" form, moved down to Roanoke.
and developed into great and virtuous
daily, to, six days in each week, hold up
to an intelligent but misguided people
the utter unwOrthiness of the Times to
guide them in political righteousness?
Or, then, we might have been put in
position to satisfy newly kindled NOR
bid commercial appetite at the expense
Of our political integrity. Or we might
have ceased to worship at the altar of
our one patron saint and become q poly
theist worshiper, like the Times, who
increasingly kotows before its three
idols-The Machine, The Stuart and The
Whiskey Trust.

Gasoline or Oats?
Harper's Weekly.

Many persons who have studied the
case OF the auto VS.. the horse are of the
opinion that within ten years the use of
horses will be forbidden upon streets
IN the congested parts of cities. One
OF these experts asserts shat by 1920
not horse will be allowed south of
l4th street on Manhattan Island. An
other authority says that TODAY the
horse is haEpering business in all the
crowded delivery sections of cities ard
that horse-drawn vehicles take I'D so
much room that in New York CITY alone
II the horse were done away with. 300
miles of streets could be saved.
1t Is all question of dollars and cents
this gasoline or oats proposition. Even
with an ordinary pleasure automobile it
SINNERS down to that. Tests have
shown that the balance is in favor of
the motor cur, just as it is in the case
OF the heavier vehicles that do the
truck-horse work. A six-day trial. for
purposes of comparison, was made not
long ago. The automobile ran 457
miles In that time at cost of II cents
per passenger per mile. Depreciation
was charged in this cost, too. With a
morse and buggy the distance covered
IN the six days was 1877 miles, and the
cost was nearly 2 cents per passenger
per mile.

Solid concrete dairy houses, such
as are found on the large dairy farms,

The accompanying floor plan, from
the Dairy Farmer, illustrates very
convenient farmers dairy house. The
size Of the rooms may be varied to
suit the individual needs.
A concrete tank near the pump
makes cooling Of the milk convenient.
The separator should be located in
the same room. A room provided with
q sink and rack can be located at one
end Of the building. This room should
be used exclusively for washing and
drying cans and bottles. A room with
shelves suitable for storing milk
should be partitioned or from the OPP
posite end Of the building.
The wallis and floor Of the dairy
house should be of solid reinforced
concrete. The roof can be roofing

The cost Of such building need not
exceed $1S5, varying according to the
size Of the herd.
