represents the type of manhood tina
the women of all times have admired
and trusted. Pure and clean in hear
as chaste woman, and yet strong
and virile in all manly attributes
an outstanding man of courage, con
science, self-confidence and aggressi

brains to match, the good women oi
the district recognize in him can
didate who will champion the right

rior to the Virginia mountaineers
and George Peery typifies the Vir-
ginia mountaineer at his best. He is
rugged, sincere, honest, fearless,
plain and simple in his manner of
life; he is lover of the fireside, the
church, clean sports and the big out
doors; dignified and reserved, but
warm with the spirit of comradeship;
loyal, solid, dependable; not brilliant
in the ordinary sense of the term,
but with vigorous, cleaving, clear
thinking mind that moves straight to
the bottom of things, George Peery
IS the incarnation of the accepted
standard of mountain manhood. He
stands right-face on every moral is
sue and no influence can swerve him
a hairs breadth from the line of
duty; and he has the ability and de-
termination to get results.
Mr.. Slemp will be here October
28th. In more than one of his many
campaign statements to the press, he
has made charges gaainst George
Peery which have no foundation in
fact. The people of Tazewell have
personal knowledge of George Peery's
record. Will Mr.. Slemp repeat his
charges here or will he be man enough
to retract them? Mr.. Slemp's repu-
ttation for fair play and truthfulness
IS at stake. In an interview given
to the Big Stone Gap Post he said
the Peery record along lines of per-
sonal service and cash contributions
to educational and other causes is
BLANK. The charge is utterly un-
true. Will Mr.. Slemp correct him
self? He stands accused at the bar
OF public opinion and silence on his
part brands him as politician who
IS willing that his party shall profit
by Misrepresentation.
Republican headquarters claim elev-
en- of the thirteen counties of the dis
trict for Hassinger. We go them one
and make it unanimous for George
Peery.
AS We go to press, campaign can
ards are flying like the tail feathers
of a plucked buzzard. In one county
George Peery is n Catholic, in an
other he is in favor of light wines
and beer, and everywhere he is in
favor of law which will give all
OF the wife's property at her death
to her husband. George is a Method
ist Sunday School teacher, but he is
catholicminded and has the grace of
Christian tolerance in too great de-
gree to slur great religious organ
ization by dragging it in the slime of
politics. The republican politicians
are hard beset. And by the circula-
tion of such ridiculous fabrications
as the above. they are adding disns-
ter to rout. Such methods NAV gain
a vote here and there, but INTELLIGENT
