IliiI.l.-UV-A-TlME IN TIE
NINTH.

Richlnnds, Va, Oct. l2.-There
must be something rotten in Den
mark. The Republicans have been hol-
lcring "Stop Thief" ever since they
had their puncture ut Norton and
their their irreparnble blow out at
Bristol; but could they expect good
results from an imported high tariff
Yankee, trnnsplanted hot house
plant when experience surely teaches
them that they should usc home
grown timber. Timber adapted TO our
climate and soil and which will thrive
and grow under the most adverse
political conditions.
The republican leaders are so sore
because they nominated IIassingcr
that they have "to hide their shame"
gave utterances to fallncies more ab-
surd than ever flashed across tho
frcnzied brain of Il lunntic. Their at-
tempt to play upon the ignorance Of
their few followers reminds one of
the old saying "thnt it is better to
be dog among kings, than king among
dogs but it seems that they have
chosen tho latter The most conspc-
uous feature Of their program is the
tribute of respect that they have
shown to old Annanias of Biblical
fame whose life had he postponed his
advent till now, would never hnvo
been taken on the grounds that ho
was too small to be noticed. Poor
llassinger, / think it great shame
to take up and abuse n poor unsol.-
histicated Yankee dwarf by trying to
work him in u harness made for the
ponderous frame of Southern gen.
tleman. No doubt he would go against
the collar and twist and squirm but
could he accomplish anything except
get lot of collar scalds. Slemp
might have had slim chance, beng
n citizen Of the district and having
acquired the art OF dancing to the
singer has never gotten farther along
than the old republican back-step to
Virginia prosperity.
What great calamity to the pres
ent administration that Harding and
Daugherty didn't get the weakly ed
itor of the weakly Virginia Mountain
eer to explain to them the Chicago
injunction for, it sure would have
helped them out of the muddlo. The
editor said "Wcll here goes" "The
Daughefty Injunction needs little ex-
planation." at was nm extreme meas
urc etc." Why didn't he give wom-
ans reason, ooh just because" and
quit? Now my little weakly weekly,
if you will let mo quote MIR. Keller
Republican Congressman Of Mime
sofa may be you will be wiser if
not better man. Mr.. Keller says:
"If Daugherty were doing his duty
he would to-day be prosecuting these
alleged criminals instead of asking
for an injunction. which will not in
any respect increase his powers to
punish actual criminals, but will give
greater powers in suppressing free
speech and other lawful activities of
citizens than were ever possessed by
any Gar"
You ask "What is wrong on thc
Clinch Valley" Nothing but great
democratic lpheavel.
You also seem to want to know,
"the age, name, race, color or pre-
vious conditions of servitude of the
naineless writer" My reply is, l AMI
of sufficient age to vote for Vir-
ginia gentleman. I am q born Vir-
ginia democrat, which should be suf
t ficient answer as to race and color
! have spent the greater part of my
life in the service of my country in
} the great fight for White Supremacy
My name you can get whonever nee

: mind is very well balanced, / dom
