^ Jltany did not want Slemp renominat

, Jiave nothing whatever to say and
&JJftll quietly vote for Stuart as a re

publican Insurgents In the district
'than has ever been before. It Is a
IJNjMtter of common comment that Sen
*tor John C. Noel is not In accord
^With Slemp. There was a large wing
#f the party that believed that Noel
phouid have been nominated and are
ppposed to Slemp holding the office
the remainder of his life.
David K. Bailey, of Bristol, who
fctade the race as a republican ran

Mil in open revolt, while ex-Mayor
*©- V- Gauthier and numerous other
'tninent republicans of Bristol and

rebounded to his benefit
The republicans have been adroitly •
to use It to bring before the j
the fact that Mrs Stuart had i
oral thousand dollars worth of 1
clothes. The fair and thinking
of both parties, who know Mi
do not relish this and It is *

| Had an outrage on the American peo
l pic. He hus always voted with the
I vunnon crowd In congress and has
againgt him the many republicans
who believe that the house czar
should be deposed and whoso sym
pathies are with the Insurgents.
Despite the fact that Mr. Hlemp
has been In congress two terms and
despite his much heralded popularity
with his parly, n ne has ever got
ten an appropriation for his district
It cannot be found. The late Repre
sentative Brownlow, the republican
representative from just across the
line in Tennessee, sat side by side with
Slemp In congress for four years and
got appropriations for his district
j amounting to nearly three Quarters
j of a million dollars a year.
There Is great enthusiasm among
; Slump's lieutenants, hut it Is confined
! largely to the office holders and not
to the free and untrammelled repub
licans. who know that a democrat
could not get any less for the dls
( trlct in congress The office holders
are the ones who are making the
noise for Sleinp and are the opes
who ar» trying to bolster up his
record.
Roosevelt ha* been Induced to come
. here to speak for Sleinp and speaks
in Bristol October 7. He knows that
the sttijRtlon Is seWous and Is resort
ing to every meats to save Slemp
from what seems certain defeat. The
democrats are united, shoulder to
shoulder, they have paid their pull
taxes and are qualified to vote, and
It Is the confident belief among them
that Slemp will lie beaten over

GHOSTS WALKED IN
YARD OF GOOD HOME
: . “ . |
j Policeman Palmer Could Not Locate the Forms Seen by Miss
Morrisey.
Ghosts walked In the rear yuril of |
No ill West Marshall street Friday I
evening between 8 and 0 o'clock and i
Miss N E. Morriaey was so afraid of ,
the shadowy forms that she telephoned {
to the police station asking that an !
■officer come and drive the wlerdly j
spectres away.
Patrolman Palmer arrived immedi
ately from the Second station at Smith
and Marshall streets, but was unable j
to locate the ghosts or to find any ,
"footprints upon the sands." He re- |
ported to c aptaln Epps, his superior
officer, that no ghost was near.
Before the policeman came to the
house Miss Morriaey had tried to
shoot the ghostly figures with a rifle, i
Whe was much excited when the blue-J
coat responded to her summons and
was positive that the unearthly figures
were in the rear yard of her home at
the time
Thinking that burglars had made all
attempt to enter the house. Policeman I
l’almcr silently crept through an alley !
and made an investigation. All was
darkness. If some unearthly object, !
described by Miss Morriaey, came
to pay a visit, no clue was left as
to 1k»w> he. she or it departed
lrpon the police blotter there is reg
istered a peculiar case. “Ghosts scar
ed a lady at 211 West Marshall street,"
says the report.

There are approximately 35.000 men
now on strike
The strikers demand an increase in
wiges of approximately 15 per cent
which the snip builders say they can
not meet. The ship builders have se
cured a pledge from the Ithenlsfi
Westphalian mine owners not to em
ploy any of the strikers. They are, al
so. endeavoring to have all iron In
dustries closed to the strikers, hoping
in this way to force the strikers to
resume their positions
The strike is being strongly sup
ported by the socialists and there is a
probability the the government will do
its best to end the strike through fear
that a long and disastrous continuance
of the difficulty will result in tremen
dous additions to the socialist vote.
