AN AMUSING WAR OF WORDS.

Ex-senator A. #. Thomas. of Lynchburg and
Campbell county. has aroused the ire of the
Republican leaders Of the state by his claim
that the Socialist party is the minority party
In the State and that as such should be allowed
one of the election judges at the booths In state
elections. The Republican party, he declares is
officially dead
State Chairman Hart. of the Republican
party. much incensed, hides his anger and treats
the Thomas claim as a joke
Democrats can afford to watch the scrap over
the bare bone with amused tolerance, 1t makes
no difference to them which party is the minority
party and which party is dead SO long as one
remains dead and the other remains in the
minority If NJ. Thomas can get any satisfac,
ion out of claiming that the Socialists have
a few hundred more voters than the Republicans
he is welcome to 1T, though an election would
probably wake him up, Still. If he likes to
dream one is hurt. If the Republicans think
ii behooves them to engage In a useless dis
pute with the Socialist leader over the question,
they are welcome to the enjoyment they get out
it.
To the Democrats, who carried everything
before them in the recent election, the little bat
tie of words furnishes amusement and nothing
more
