COL. ROOSEVELT

The shooting was done by Z, man evi-

Colonel Roosevelt was later removed
to the Mercy hospital in Chic go where
more thorough examination disclosed
him to be more dangerously wounded
than at first thought, and the physicians
attending him say it will be a least ten
days before he can get out. The Colo
mel, however, gamely says ne will be
out in two days, and it is Universally
hoped that he will be.
The would-be assassin gave his name

in the prisoners clothes it is evident he
is demented on the subject Of Colonel

HE, General Ayers, is in favor of
honest elections, yet knowing of all the
frauds committed in the Ninth Congress
sional district within the past fifteen
years by the democratic party, he has
never yet raised his voice in condemna-
tion Of any of them, but has by his ST.

now refuses to sanction an honest ad-

that the republicans lie accorded one

General Ayers has nothing in COM

spider waiting for its prey. He is also
a corporation wrecker. He can hide

SIemp Being MISTepresented.

Congressman c. b. Slemp, while in
Bristol Monday en- route to Asheville,
N. c., to be with Mrs. Slemp for a few
days, expressed the view that he is be-
ing misrepresented by the democratic
press of Virginia as to his views touch
ing honest elections. In speaking of
the matter he said:
The democratic press of the state
continues to misunderstood and conse-
quentiy to misrepresent my position as
to fair elections. In order to make a
clean-cu issue of this subject, and that
the people may know who is in favor of
fair elections, and who is not, l will
say;
Il. will use no money at the COM
ing election except for legitimate pur-
poses.
"2. demand from Gen. R. A. Ay-
ers, my democratic opponent, an IN
eduivocal answer to the question as to
whether he thinks the republicans are
entitled to have one Judge and one cle-k
of election st every voting place in the
district.
so. appoint the following commit
tee to meet a committee selected by
General Ayers to enter on my behalf
into any agreement whatever that " i'll

lutely fair to all candidates and all par

CLEAR FORK DISTRICT

The political prophets who are so sure
as to who will be the next president,
should remember, that at least a third
of the people of the country have not
fully made up their minds as to who
they will vote for, and if those who
have, another third are not proclaming
their choice from the house-tops. Straw
votes represent only those anxious to be
in the spotlight, but the great, quiet,
unexpressed vote of the country is what
is going to elect the president this year
and we think some of those who are so
cock-sure they have picked the winner
are due a surprise on the fifth day of
November.

A man bought "cbeap" paint; saved
zoe or 80 or 40 or SOC a gallon, didn' t
he?
Yes, and bought 40 or so or 60 or 80
percent more gallonsi how much did he
make on his paint?
And he paid for painting those gallons
"a fair days work is a gallon-how
much did he make on the labor part of

He lost quarter or third of his money.
How long will 1t last? not his money,

Perhaps half as long as Devoe. How

Two Big BaTheCuS.

The campaign in Tazewell is begin
ming to warm up and at last looks like
the real thing. The speeches scheduled
for next Tuesday and Wednesday at
Tiptop and Cedar Bluff, from all re-
ports, will attract the largest crowds
assembled at any political gathering in
the county in recent years. At Tiptop
the arrangements are in the hands of
the following committee: Hon. H. S.
Bowen, r. P. Harman, DR.. Frank Py-
oft, T. R. Smoot, James Gillespie and
j. P. Crockett, all experts in the line of
handling and feeding crowds, and they
have sent in assurances that there will
be enough to eat and to spare at their
place on the 22nd.
At Cedar Bluff the committee on ar
rangements consists of T. A. Gillespie,
]. Ed Mcclure, Lee Spratt and Andrew
Martin. The chairman of the commit
tee, "Uncle Tom" Gillespie. who has
had much experience in arranging bar
becues, says to give his personal word
that there will also be ample provisions
for all who are at Cedar Bluff on the
23rd.
Both committees wish those living
near the two places, who care to do so,
to feel at liberty to bring as much to
contribute to the feast as they wish, so
that should the crowds exceed expecta-
tions none will be disappointed. They
also wish it understood that an especial
invitation is extended to women and
children to attend.

The seventeenth annual convention of

at Harrisonburg on last Friday night.
Richmond was selected as the meet
ing place for the convention of 1918,
and the time of the convention was
changed from the second Wednesday in
October to the first Wednesday of the
same month, for the reason that the
former date conflicted with the date of
the Virginia State Fair and kept many
delegates from attending the conven-
ton.

this be full of other good stuff, - in the
news pages. AS matter of fact, the
commenting of two of the three amend
ments to the favorable consideration of
the voters was only incidental to the
object of the article which, primarily,
was to call attention to the fact, that
the voters of the state would be called
upon at the coming election, to vote
on so grave matter as the amending
of the constitution of the state, with
only cursory knowledge of the ques-
tions involved and to suggest, that, if
Virginia did not follow the example of
Oregon and submit such questions to the
voters in pamphlet form that it should.
at least, arrange to have the full text
of the proposed amendments printed,
in at least one paper, in each county for
the information of the voters.

WHY DID CLARK CHANGE?

Speaker Clark cannot get away from the fact
that he made his campaign &mong the people Tor
delegates upon the ground that he is progressive
His constant pooling of strength with Harmon and
Underwood against the Wilson candidacy gave rise
at the time to the charge that his loyalty to pro-
eressive principles was only skin deep. To Offset
this he used Bryan's name in all his literature, and
finally, when he carried Bryans own State, that
fact was used by him conclusive proof that he
was q progressive and that he was satisfactory to
Bryan
While he did not at any time denounce Tammany
Hall and declare his independence VI Wall SHeer
that was not necessary. The extra emphasis Clark
placed upon his progressive attitude and Bryan
friendship damned the Special Privilege forces by
logical inference. At no time in his fight for dele
gates in the West and South did Clark ever publicly
use as an argument in his behalf that he could, v
necessary, get the support OF Tammany Hall and
Hearst Had he done so he would never have be-
come formidable factor in this fight.
After Clark had secured his delegates by en-
phasizing the necessity of Democracys nominating
a progressive and taking progressive position
IL didn't look very pretty for him. when the Rgh
over the Craftsmanship was up, to announce that I
was quite immaterial whether progressive or
reactionary delivered the keynote speech-that TIT
main thing was the Presidential nomnation-ant
to deliver enough votes to Reactionary Parker Il
defeat Progressive Bryan, whose name Clark ha
used in order to get his delegates.
The Speaker complains about being mlsrepre
sented, but ne fails to make it clear why he wa
so progressive and Bryanistc when he was gettin
delegates in the West and why, when he neede
New Yorks vote, he suddenly became convinced ths
the issue between progressves and reactonaries to
control of the convention was "mmateral.

BATHING BEACH OPENS.

The grudgng policy adopted by Congress in re-
gard to the District is responsible for the fact that
the bathing beach, which is Of the most popular
and important institutions in Washington, has re-
manned closed until long after the usual period.
Enough funds are now available, however, to
justify the opening up of the resort and beginning
today the beach will attract the usual summer patron
age The slight increase in some of the charges will
help to meet current expenses All necessary prepa
ratons for safeguarding the bathers have been made
and the remainder of the summer will be greatly
enjoyed That there should have been so muct
delay is, OF course, inexcusable, but perhaps we
ought to be used to this sort Of thing by now.
