Elections in this town are not what

in no respect have changes been more

in which elections are conducted. The

serve order. You know, he said, that
liquor flowed freely in the old days.

and both parties stocked up for the
election, and there was always trou-

ROADS NOT BONDS.
(Southern Progrcss.)

Considerable noise is being made
some parts of Virginia by n few bond
advocates, through several ncwspap-
ers whose policies they are dominat-
ing. 1t is not surprising that these
half-dozen or so newspapers are sub
ject to the dictates of the bond
crowd, when it is known that at least
two Of Richmonds larger papers are
owned by some of the most promin-
cnt contractors in Virginia who do
work for the highway department
and cater to the wishes of the "po-
litical bosses"-and certain newspap-
ers in Petersburg, Roanoke, Newport
News Bristol and Fredericksburg
are said to be controlled by bond
advocates, who make it impossible to
get dependable information from
such sources. Not that the contractors
ever expect to get any of the bond
.money-they are content with the
contracts being let from current rev.
enues mt present; and not even all
contractors are for bonds, as they
know any bond issue will spell dis
aster eventually. We want good

it is evident that labor is goint to

candidate, whether Republican or
Democrat, who had the endorsement
of labor, was successful
This is certainly true in the Ninth

note that we still have democracy
instead of an autocracy and that the
common people. of whom there are
so many, are voting as their con-
science dictates. or as their interest
may appear, rather then as the boss
IS dictate or from prejudice. This has
been brought about by reason Of the
hisapproval of manv things that the

from this district by more than 600
~ iority. more than even 1.-THE Dem

congressional victory in % years.
This has been done by the common
