PLAYING DANGEROUS GAME
IN VOTING FOR HARDING.

Our Republican trends should face
the future with their eyes open
There is more at stake than is i'm
piled in any party name. Those who
intend to vote for Harding believing
that he is only trying to deceive them
about his attitude toward the League
of Nations, and that, once elected, he
will devise some means of getting in
are playing Il dangerous game which
they may repent. but from which
they cannot withdraw after Novem
Der 2.
We do not appeal to our Repub
lican friends ON the score of graft
tude that is due to the President
for they have been filled so full Of
misrepresentation of his achieve
ments that their patriotic spirit Of
the war days has evaporated, and
they are anxious for the opportunity
to reward his services with blow in
the face. We appeal to them OH the
score of the material welfare Of the
nation. The failure OF khe peace
treaty and the covenant as esult
of the coming election would bring
economic consequences that Repub-
licans wound feel as keenly as Demo-
Gratis.
The election of n President is only
an incident of November 2. The main
thing is the determination of vital
policy. The voice of Prudence joins
with that of Patriotism in n plea for
n wise decision.-Philadelph Re-
cord.

HANDY AND SLEMP AND THEIR
RECORDS.
Bristol Herald Courier.

DrlStOl Herald Courier.
In weighing the case of the two
candidates for Congress in the Ninth
Virginia District the voters will do
well to carefully investigate the re-
cord of each man befrc reaching their
verdict on November 2. These records
speak for themselves; they can not
be erased or altered, and they give
an insight into the caliber of the two
candidates that stands out as the
most important evidence to be con-
sidered by the jury of voters.
Before voting for Bascom Slemp
the voters should decide beyond a
reasonable doubt that he is to be
commended for being absent from
nearly 500 roll-calls in the last two
sessions of Congress. They should
consider that Mr.. Slemp is being
paid large salary for representing
the people of the Ninth District anu
not for devoting his time to his pri-
vate business interests and coal prop
critics. In looking back over his re-
cord, they should recall that, although
IN Congress for twelve years, MIR
Slcmp has never originated or beer
personally connected with single
piece of important legislation. He is
Just political time-server drawing
the salary of n Congressman. They
should not overlook his prc-conven-
ton statement in which he stated
emphatically Chat he did not want to
go back to Congress; that his health
and business interests would inter.
fere with his official duties. When
they have deliberated over these
things, the voters should remember
that while the war was raging Mr.
Slemp stayed at home and waxed fat
on war prosperity in safety and COM
fort while his opponent, Boiling
Handy, faced the dangers and hard
shipe of war unfiinchingly.
The people who confe rthe honor
OF seat in Congress from the Ninth
District should consider all these
facts and more. They should give
careful study to the record of Mr..
Handy, record that began with a
brilliant career in college, followed
by success in the practice of law
Then the war broke out. Handy and
his four brothers enlisted. Handy
went to an officers training camp
worked hard and received a commits
sion. He was sent to the front in
france tar nadvance of most of the
American troops that went overseas.
He fought in several of the greatest
battles on tn Western front while the
fate of civilization hung in the bal
ance. He was wounded and decorated
for bravery. And then he came back
to begin all over again.
Handy answered present when his
country called for soldiers. He was
present when the roll was called for
battle. He will not be absent when
the roll is called in Congress. He will
be there fighting for the best inter-
csts of the people of the Ninth Dis
trict with the same patriotism, ardor
and ability that characterized his re-
cord i'll the war. He was 100 per cent
representative in the war and he will
be 100 per cent Representative in
Congress.

HANDY WOULD AGREE TO
LIMIT EXPENSES.

Bristol, October 22.-Hearing that
sums of money were in the hands of
republicans for use in the Ninth
district, Boiling II. Hondy, demo-
cratic candidate for congress yester-
day sought of his opponent, c. Bas-
com Slcmp, an agreement against
the use of any money for the pur-
pose Of corrupting the voters.
In his letter to Congressman Slemp
he declared that the indications of 4
large fund in the Slemp chest were
so strong as to be matter of al
most common gossip in political
circles"
Mr.. Handy's letter follows:
"Hon. C. B. Slemp,
"Big Stone Gap, Va,
"My Dear Sir:
"The indications of large sums Of
money for election purposes in til;
hands of men who are supporting
you and who are opposing me are 81
strong and unmistakable that tn,

mon gossip, in political circles.
II am sure you will agree with M
in the view that the improper use o
"iDiiSJ AOi viz Pui POoS VI iiiiiuNiSHil
voters should be carefully guardc;
against. While do not believe tn
Ninth district is purchasable, yet
invite you to agree with me tina
neither of us will countenance tn
use of money for the purpose of cor
rupting the voters at or prior to tn
election and that we engage wit
each other and publicly unite in pc
titioning the courts Of the district
both stite and federal, to conven
special grand juries Immediately fol
lowing the election and to investi
gate and prosecute vigorously eac
and every infraction of the law, an
that we further agree that we vii
cooperate and have our supporter
to cooperate with the courts in al
of these Investigations and prosecut
ions. This letter may be regarded a
such II petition and request to tn
courts and in your reply will you no

WHY You SHOULD VOTE FOR
BOILING II. HANDY.
Gas City, Ind, Oct. 10, 1920.

NuS Sltyy luu., OCI. ~, lCLU.
Mr.. Editor:
While visiting a friend in Marion,
Indiana, recently l saw picture of
Lieutenant Boiling Handy on the
front page of your paper. Now while
| have never met Mr.. Handy or have
l even met his father or mother,
yet know the Democratic party
have made no mistake in selecting
Lieutenant Handy rs their standard
bearer. Not because he is n Demo
crat do | say this, neither because
he is the son of Methodist minis
ter, for | am prohibitionist and n
Baptist. But here is my reason for
saying there has been no mistake in
nominating Lieutenant Handy, and
il, the good people of the Ninth elect
him they Will no regret it I am sure.
James Handy. the great great
grand father of Boiling Handy, was
Frcnchman OF noble birth, who
came to South Carolina in his youth
Joined his fate with Francis Marion
"The Old Swamp Fox" and helped win
our independence. After the war was
over he married Bette Edwards and
settled in South Carolina. John
Handy, his son. fought in the war of
1872. The great grand father of
Lieutenant Handy and John Handy,
Jr., Bolling's grand father, lost his
life in the late civil war. John Handy
ST., had five sons in the service of
the civil war. Then T. R. Handy, the
father of Lieutenant Handy. has
been valiant soldier in the army of
His King for loe these many years,
and volunteered to enter the ranks
at an early age. And of course the
good people of the Ninth know the
record the five brothers made in the
great World War.
] happen to know that Mr. Handy's
home training has been the very
best and that he has been taught
from early childhood to do his duty
each day, no matter what sacrifice
or inconvenience to himself, so this

AS these lines are written (Tues-

counted" he says, which is within
ten of the number necessary to elect

STOPS HER PAPER AND ROASTS
THE EDITOR.

TOT ABOUT the first time in wears n
subscriber to this paper has ordered
her copy discontinued, giving rs n
reason, u am Il Republican, chain
and filling, and they aint no mercy
for them in your paper, can't
see how you can bemean set of
folks as you do" etc, and closes with
this: "lf the Republicans all feels
like | do about your last ishue, YOU
Will half to shut down the little Frat
Tie box"
The Clinch Valley News is sorry
that this. good Christian woman be-
came offended. A sore spot was
touched and the subscriber flinched.
Wonder if it was what the paper
said about the negro running as a
Republican for the United States
Senate against Carter Glass? We
don't know.
The writer calls wildly the first
time he met this good woman. It
was several-perhaps eight or ten
years ago. She was returning from
visit to relatives in West Virginia,
and was just out of q big revival
meeting which she had attended, and
III which she took prominent part.
Her description and accounts of the
meeting were splendid. She was all
aglow with religious fervor and en-
thusiasm. She seemed "flled with
the spirit" and anxious to tell of
the good she had received, and as she
said, "the love of God was shed
abroad in all hearts, and large
number of people were converted"
Well, after these years there seems
10 have been a cooling off. Perhaps
due to the entrance into her life Of
political interests due to equal suff-
rage. We don't know, only there
seems to have come a big change
=. over the spirit of her dreams OF
other lays. Instead of the charity
which thinketh no evil, suffreth long
and is kind, the Glove your enemies"
Of the Master, she actually wishes.
or almost wishes, that this paper
which she is pleased to term "a lit
Tie rattle box" shall be compelled
"to shut down." and the Editor and
his family be deprived of living.
All right! Our former friends name
will be dropped from the list, and the
paper come out as usual as tho moth.

Mr.. Bryan has not been heard
from in this campaign, for Cover
nor Cox. Mr.. Bryan opposed steren-
uously making the League of Ma

it does not seem that because the

have caused this great Democrat to
have withheld his help and support
