TRINKLE WILL WIN, SAYS r.
p. JOHNSON.
Wythevilla. w.. Anril <
Editor Clinch Valley News: y

Editor Clinch Valley News:
There appeared in the Roanoke
Times of February 18th, an account
of meeting of the Tucker Club in
that city. In this report of of the
speakers, Mr.. John Hart, is quoted
as saying that there was hardly n
Democrat in the Ninth, and that
MIR. Trinklc could not carry his own
County.
Of course, everybody knows that
the first statement as to there be-
ing hardly Democrat in the Ninth
District is not only absurd, but with
out n semblance of truth. There is
approximately 5000 Democrats in
the Ninth, rs shown by the vote. In
the recent election, Mr.. Cox secur-
ed about 5000 more votes in the
Ninth District than any other dist
riot in tho State Of Virginia, AS to
the other statement that Mr.. Trnkle
could not carry his own county, let
me say that Mr.. Trinkle has never
failed to carry his own county, which
will be shown conclusively further
on in this letter He has been twice
elected to tho State Senate without
opposition; and in the Congressional
campaign against Mr.. Slemp, Mr..
Trinkle carried his own county nv
90 majority, whilst at that time the
county was normally 300 Republi-
can.
l had hoped that after this state
ment made by Mr.. Hart was called
to his attention, that he would file
disclaimer. and to take a charit-
able view of it, thought that he
seems that this man has q lot of
p.ent-up puss that he wishes to get
rid OF by making statements detri-
semblance of truth.
On the End inst, at meeting of
the tucker women in Highland Ward
III Roanoke where there were ipter.
esting talks given by local support
ers Of Mr.. Tucker, Mr.. Hart is again
quoted and gets credit for creating
considerable enthusiasm by charging
tnat Trinkle's chief support is among
tho wet men. He named O dozen OF
more of leading Virginia politicians
who are supporting Mr.. Trinkle and
SAID every ono of them was an
original wet statesman. This is rath.
or remarkable in view Of the fact
that with the hundreds of prominent
dry men in the State, we have never
heard of their mentioning more than
four of them as supporting Mr..
Tucker.
Mr.. Hart, in his address, states
that the real issue was lineup OF
the old political factions, and round.
" charged that the issues raised in
Triinkle's behalf were false issues
and propagated for purpose of vote
getting by deception, and that Mr.
Trinkle himself up to 1914, when the
State voted dry, had been on the
wet side Of everything, and had ney.
er done single thing for tho Pro.
hibition cause.
This last statement Is in keeping
with Mr.. Harris statement he made
on February 18th lselatve to De-
mocracy in the Ninth District, and
is just about as absurd and void OF
the true facts. Mr.. Trinkle has al.
ways aligned himself with the tenn.
perance cause, and has been an ac-
tive worker since he attained his ma.
joriy. This I know by actual asso.
citation and observation.
To give the render an fdea ~ Mr.

In the mirror over the fireplace Mary caught glimpse of her own radiant facc. Happiness ss-yes--and something else had transformed it from mere prettiness into, actual, vivid beauty. For love is. after all, the great transfigurator.

 Dicks gaze was on her and great longing welled within him to tell this dainty, winsome girl the whole feelings of his simple, boyish heart.
 He tried to crush the longing down. because he feared that over-great pre- cipitancy might ruin everything.

 MT. Robinson. for several years, has been prominent business man of Clan ton. but recently moved to his farm to superintend the work that was being carried on there.

NEGRO ASSOCIATION . GREATLY OFFENDED
 BY MOMENTS ACTION
Write Long Letter to President Urging Him to Ignore Petit ton of Protest Against
 Appointment of Negro
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The -Heralt


 Washington, April II. = (SpeciaL)- The young lady employees of the treas ury department, serving in the office of the register. who some days ago petftioned the President to refrain from appointing a negro as chief of their bureau, mortally offended the Washington division of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it develops today.
 Officials of this organization have written a long letter to President Harding urging him to ignore the petition, and citing what they con tend to be true-that appointments should be made in respect to morality and intelligence rather than color. From the tone of their letter, they are evidently of the opinion that white girls should be honored to serve un- der a negro chieftain. They speak with significant emphasis regarding the change in conditions they had hoped for following the inauguration of a republican President.
 HOPED FOR BETTER THINGS
 Excerpts from the letter follow "Amony the many cherished hopes for better things to come from restored republican power is the hope of mill lions of negro citizens that the repub- lican party will live up to- it's pre- election platform promises of justice and square deal to them. 8 The test of fitness for office should be character and ability and these qualifications should be recognized and rewarded regardless of the racial identity of the individual Further in this connection, MT. President, know ing as we do the insidiousness of race prejudice and the way in which 1t is carried forward by propaganda, we have no hesitancy in saying that should this petition, based solely on race prejudice, influence your action in the premises, it9would not be long before you and Congress would be flooded with similar petitions protest

PARDON FOR DEBS ! IS RELIEVED NEAR

Washington, April 11.=(Special)-- The idea prevails in Washington that full pardon will soon be issued in favor of Eugene V. Debs, socialist, confined in the, federal penitentiary in Atlanta.
 Harry. M Daugherty, Attorney Gen eral, affirms that no decision has been reached, and might not be reached be- fore the passage of another month. He declares that all phases of the case are being carefully studied and added that in the present the prison record of the prisoner is being in- vestigated by the chief penal officer of the United States, the Rev. pr, Votaw, brother-in-law to the Presi- dent
 If Debs is pardoned the action will be based either on the fact that the war IS over. that he has been stuff ciently punished, or that his convic- ton was unJustifiable. The latter possibility is not considered. If Debs is pardoned, therefore, it will be in course of the easiest way outp in the opinlon of democrats in Congress.
 When the Attorney General con suited with Debs in Washington some days ago, he found the prisoner stilI defiant in his attitude although re- spectfully defiant Mir. Debs was not Hpenltent- He did not confess that he had erred. He did not promise to re- irain from repetition of his con duct.
