A FINAL WORD.

AS the election takes place next
Tuesday this is the last issue of this
paper before that date, and few
final words are here given for what
they are worth. This campaign is one
of the most hotly contested for years
i'll the Ninth. Both parties have
Stretched every nerve" and are con-
testing every inch of ground. 1t is
gratifying to be able to state, that
comparatively speaking, the cam
paign has been conducted on high
plane by both candidates. Neither Of
the candidates should be held rcspons-
iblc for wild and unfoundcd charges
made by overzealous par.sans, such
charges were to be expected They
have produced little effect. Sensible
people are not swaycd by political
poppy cock and tommy rot.
1t will BIO borne in mind, of course,
that ballots, not talk, elect candi-
dates to office. A stay-at-home vote
means two for the other side. Get
out every vote possible, men and
women. Keep cool and tote fair.

fleet upon man of unimpeachable
integrity when the facts do not sup

He makes other misstatements of

Committee in Richmond hat l need
ed $30,000.00 for use in the 7th and
9th Districts. He has no proof of
this because l made no such state
mcnt, as the numerous ladies and gen.

have no objection to Mr.. Slemp's
saving his face. Excuses offered be-
fore defeat are perhaps as much
in order as excuses after defeat. If
the so-called remarks in the House of
Representatives which were never de-
livered are merely the deathsong of
4 passing politician, would listen
with the respect which we always
accord to funeral ceremonies. But
at the nd eff his remarks, there is a
sinister suggestion which cannot re-
agrd with Indifference. He says:
81 feel justified in using the column
5of the Congressional Record to pre-
sent those preliminary facts and fea-
lures of campaign that may possib-
ly have its aftermath in the body of
which l will not be n member"
If this means anything, it means
that he proposes to utilize Repub-
lican majority, if there is one in the
next House of Representatives, to
unseat George C. peery and seat the
pure minded soul" Hassinger Just
rs he will have the Republican ma
iority in the present House throw
out Judge Harrison and seat that
other pure minded soul, John Paul.
In other words, he proposes to
substitute an electorate of free Vir-
ginians by an electorate composed Of
partisan Republican majority. Mr..
Slcmp has in fact warne the people
of the Ninth District in advance that
unless they elect Hassinger the man
they do elect to Congress will not be
seated. | think there are limits to po-
litical grand larceny, and that Mr..
Slemp will hardly be permitted to
repeat the Harrison Paul episode.

sLEMP RAISES ANOTHER LOUD
VAIL,

c. Bascom Slemp is firmly of the
opinion that he has established "be-
yond all reasonable doubt" the fact
that the wicked Democrats have con-
spired and agreed to buy seat in
congress for George G. Peery.
AS proof of his contention, he cites
three things:
~ A letter from Harry f. Byrd,
Democratic state chairman, to a
supposed Democrat, asking for g
small contribution to the democratic
campaign fund.
(2) A statement from sonic un
known party, temporarily sojourninf
in Richmond, that he, or she, over
heard Mr.. Byrd tell the members of
the Democratic state committee in
Richmond recently that he must have
$4,000 to use in the 7th and 9th dis
tricts.

munication from the writer, saying
that Democrats have undoubtedly
used money illegally in elections in
this district in the past.
lie then closes, saying that he has
made out his case complete, and that
the future can take care of itself.
He has made out. n mighty slim
case, notwithstanding his opinion. The
only scrap of evidence he submits
that could be used in any English
speaking court in the world is the
letter from Mr.. Byrd, showing that a
contribution has been asked for on
ly, not that it had been Forthcoming
or that it had been used.
In this day it requires n large sum
to conduct campaign legitimately

recent years but what both parties
appealed to the public for contribu-
lions to pay legitimate expenses. 1t

love-feast and rally. The town was
literally filled, and particularly main

parts, from the towns, the highways
and the hedges. Old and young, black
and white, were here, mingling free

their children, the entire family, from
the baby in arms to the young men
and women. Just how many people
were here estimates differ. There
were not fewer than 1000, some saw
$500. At any rate there was n crowd
large enough. Many more would have

A FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTE IN
SURES VICTORY.

The Democratic National Commit
ee has taken steps to urge state
'ounty and district leaders through
nut the United States to devote spec
81 efforts to getting out the vote on
election day. The indications, it finds,
are that there will be large stay-nt-
l,omc vote by Republicans who are
'lisgusted with the work of the Con-
yress and dissatisfied with the admin
'stration. There can be no better way
20 assure Democratic victory than
o get the Democratic ballots into the
'allot box.
This is work in which the humb-
est member of the party can render
valuable assistance, and the Democ-
rratic National Committee asks every
democrat to constitute himself n
committee of one for this duty.
