JUST A LITTLE REQUEST

There are probably half the homes in
Imperial valley into which the Press
does not go regularly. The reason for
this, apparently, is that it is impossible
to get. the other half of the people to
realize that they can get a daily news
paper, with all the local and all the
worlds news for a dollar a year. The
publishers are giving for 81 all that most
publishers ask from SO to s5 for. and that
is why they feel at liberty to ask you to
speak to your neighbors about the Great
Dollar Daily. Help US make them real
re what we are offering to them and thus
make the circulation of the Press uni
Tersal throughout the valley. If

THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN.

Acting Chairman McAdoo's method
of raising money for the conduct of
the Democratic Presidential campaign
begins to look like success, and If
successful, it will be revolutionary
Innovation. On the. third day after
the circular was issued from the DEM
ocratic headquarters requesting the
banks to act as receivers of contribu-
lions favorable responses had come in
from over one thousand banking In
stitutions thus addressed. Mr.. Nc
Adoo's plan includes the idea OF CIV
ing each contributor of 81 or more an
engraved certificate and letter OF
thanks. Of course, the Chalrmans
request to the banks was not to be-
come receivers of Democratic contrl-
buttons only, but to accept them for
all parties. But the practice is like
ly to be adopted overwhelmingly by
Democrats or independent supporters
of the Wilson candidacy. The Bull
Moose and Republican organizations
depend too much upon the benetac-
tions of the Standard Oilers, the Steel
T,,,st and others of that ilk to be
very keen for popular subscriptions

IIDR DAY FESTIVITIES

an adjunct to spread knowledge"
Continuing he said. ga government for
the people and by the people means a
good education; humanity grows up
ward"
The speaker declared that what the
people want is not liberty and equal
ity. but liberty and fraternity. Quail
ity and inequality will not work hard
ship with these, he said, but it is the
religion of man.
Mr.. Montague, in concluding his re-
marks, spoke briefly on injunctions
and contempt proceedings. He de-
clared, in his short talk on this SUBJ
iect, that he did not mean to criticise
the courts, and added that when we
cease to criticise the human race it at
a standstill, and that when people are
contented they are at the end of their
rope. Labor, the speaker said, is COM
ing into it's own, and he suggested
patience, system and good will.
The speakers were introduced by
Howard F. Colvin,. secretary OF the
Virginia Federation of Labor.
Prior to the speaking number OF
athletic events took place. Earlier
in the day there was ball game be-
tween the machinists and glassblow-
ers, of this city, the former winning
by score of Is to l.
The first athletic event was loo-
yard dash, which was open to ali.
There were six contestants, and Pat
rick Murphy, Of this city, was the
winner. The time was eleven SECONDS
The 5O-yard dash for girls under
sixteen years was won by Mary Har-
rison. Genera Arlington was second
There were six contestants.
William Clark and Mckinley Cor
nell proved easy winners in the three
legged race, in which six couples took
par.
A small black pig, thoroughly
CREASED, which was turned loose was
easily captured by William Pettey al
ter very short race.
The baby show, which took place at
3 o'clock, proved the attraction among
the women present. There were twelve
entities for the prettiest baby at the
park, and Joseph c. Duncan came IN
for the first prize, while second hon
ors were carried off by by Norman
BreEner.
OaIy four entries were in for the
latest baby, and Leah Rebecca Grel-
ner won the first prize, and Morris
Wicfeld captured the second. Inc

VOTES IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

It is estimated by the South Caro-
lima newspapers that there are about
$4,000 white males of voting age OF
the State. Assuming that there are
1000 whites who are Republicans or
Socialists, making allowance for ao-
son+ees for those who have lost their
voting residence by late removals or
who have neglected to register Tor
+boso who are sick in bed and those
who are ir insane asylums or jalls, 1t
would be fair to deduct ~ per cent
from the grand total, leaving a maxi
mum of about 10000 Democrats
who would probably 60 to the pollS
Yet the total vote in the guoerha'o-
rial primary last week was very near.
" 100000 The probability OF fraud IS
much increased by a consideration OIL
the votes actually cast in recent elec-
tions. The largest ever polled IN the
State was 10000, and in the fresi
Dental election of 1908 the vote was
less than $4,000. In the South the pr,
mary vote is usually greater than that
of the final election; but it is withou.
precedent anywhere that polltlca1
contest has brought to the polls every
man who had right to mark oai-
lot and could walk or be carried there

fred B. Williams, the talented and YER
satiie editor of The Times, says IN
Saturdays issue of his paper:
"Roanoke always is busting and

Lonesome the next few days. We will
miss the firemen. The continual play
ing of brass bands, yells and whoops
IN the streets and the roaring OF

time are not parts Of our usual lie
here. Our people will feel as II they

sation of unaccustomed hush and
Quiet; and without the throngs OF red
shirts and brass buttons the sidewalks
will look somewhat deserted.
ut is all right. The town was thrown
wide open to the boys and they played
it wide open. That was all rlght'too
Roanoke is a young city of young men

brants drank more than they coulo

foolish and dangerous thing to do
but Roanoke does not know whether
these were her own folk or visitors anc
