Mr.. Editor:-The gentleman
who referred to the writer in
local column of your paper last
week, either was not present at
the mass meeting that selected
delegates to the Norfolk conven-
tion, or else he desires to grossly
misrepresent. / was not at the
mass meeting, being at the time
away from home on legal busi-
ness. Had | been there, / would
have opposed instructing the
delegates for any one, though l
would have favored a preferen-
tial vote. At that time my con-
tidence in Mn. Bryan caused me
to favor the nomination of Mr..
Clark, because thought he fa-
vored him. | was not an "origi-
naP' Wilson man, but / favored
very move of Mr.. Bryan and was
heartily glad that his good iudg-
ment gained for the people of
this country the nomination and
election of Woodrow Wilson. AS
to being a Jones man, / once en-
tertained him at my home and
he asked me to support him for
the Senate. | wrote him frankly
that | could not do it, but had |
been a Jones man" / can't
of any stigma that
would have attached. He is a
democrat and if at any time in
the future | may desire to sup
port him or any other democrat,

right of individual independence
even in politics, though l admit

party and don't mind it either.

her second eyesight and has
been able to do fine needle work
without the aid of glasses.
Several of her children live in
this community and among them
the Oldest Mrs. Martha Carter

child, who are "a and 53 years
old respectively.

MIR. SLEMp'S AGENT
PAYS HEAVY FINE
Confesses to Spending Money For
Buying Votes in Russell, in Spite
Of Agreement Ten Indictments

The Roanoke Times of We'd
nesday morning carried the fol-
lowing special from Lebanon:
'The elimination of the recent
investigation here into the cleo
tion frauds by Republicans came
this morning, when A. P. Croc-
kett, private secretary and hen
Gilman of Congressman Bascom
Slemp, appeared in court to an
swer ten indictments for violat-
ing the election laws, by using
money illegally to purchase votes
in the last race of Congressman
Slemp against Rufus A. Ayers,
and pleaded guilty to the charges
in spite of a tacit agreement
made between both parties in
that election that nobody would
use money.
1t was clearly proven in the
grand jury investigation in this
county that Mr.. Crockett had
come into this county a few
weeks before the election and
distributed something between
nine and twelve hundred dollars
for the Republican campaign.
Mr.. Crockett stated to the court
in appearing this morning that
he did not know that he was
violating the law. Judge Burns
in passing sentence referred
somewhat sarcastically to the
fact that as lawyer he "did
not know he was violating the
law"
He also stated that he intend
ed coming to surrender himself
to the jurisdiction of the court,
but seeing that it had been
something like a year since the
indictment he did not do so.
This last expression as his form
er excuse is to taken cum granno
Sails.
The court passed sentence,
fining Mr.. Crockett the sum of
three hundred dollars on three
of the indictments, and assessing
the costs of the others against
him.
Mr.. Crockett was defended by
Mr.. S. O. Burns of the local bar
and Judge Strother, of Welch,
w. Va.
The evidence was practically
conclusive that Crockett had in
the most bare faced way and in
the utter disregard of the agree
ment between the parties intent
ionally violated the law"

PROCRESSIYES TO
name A TICKET
Designating Committee Appointed at
Richlands Meeting to Look About
For Candidate For Legislature

The meeting of Progressives,
at Richlands, Saturday, August
10th, was very interesting one.
Twenty five Progressives were
present. several being from
Buchanan County. 1t was decid-
ed to nominate n Progressive
Party candidate for the House of
Delegates. AS there was more
than one strong candidate with
promise of good support from
both within and without the
Progressive Party: E. II. Witten,
w: l.. G. Burke and possibly one
other, the situation seemed so
important, a committee of five
was appointed to report to an
other meeting at Richlands, on
September 9th, as to which it
would be to the best interest of
the Progressive Party to nom
mate for the House of Delegates.
Several strong Progressive
speeches were made and it was
evident that the Progressives
appreciate the strong position
that they have won and the re-
sponsibilities imposed upon them
by the fact that already they
have become the second party in
nu mbers, with one of the great
est men in history az their lead
er, with platform and methods
modern and practical for pro-
ducing Progressive results.
