ONE Of the very best reasons why
John 8. Carllle, OF Harrison county,
who has been nominated for the LeRIs-
lature, ought to be elected, 10 because
all the rebels In the State, and the let
uppers' are 30 Violently opposed TO him,
II the Republicans OF Harrison county
do their duty, he will have an oppor-
tunlty to expose this winter the rotten
ness Of this whole let up movement,
and the dupllclty Of those connected
with 1t. This campaign has dsyel oped
one fact: that Carllle Is a man he
wheeling clique can't brighten, and we
are OF the opinion they will not be able
70 hurt him very setiously.-Pdrker8.
burg Journal Of Sd Nov.
Now the truth about Carllle Is that
privately he was ''let upper" and
privately the rebels were not evidently
opposed" 10 him. They saw that his
nomination offered an opportunity to
run In slmon.pure Democrat and en-
braced 1t. Carlile had made himself
too cheap In the Democratic market
last summer. They didn't want to pur-
chase. The Republicans Of Harrison
did "theIr duty" and left him at home.
1t Is very natural and consistent that
a paper whose editors comprised the
defeat OF the Republican party In Wood
should champion Mr.. John 8. Carlile.
PUTNAM CoUNTY.-The vote In Put
nam for Legislature stands: Senate
Patrick (D) 30, McWhorter (R) ga ;
House-Bowyer 4 r. SO2, Blake Try 234.
Mr.. Wlsner, Of the Berkeley Union,
who was beaten for the House by a
"let up" In the recent election, says he
"was beaten by special combination
and coalition Of elements, as ungene>
rous as they were mean and unmanly."
Was anybody ever beaten that he didn't
think 1t "msau7" Our brother editor
ls philosopher, however, and he adds:
after all, 30 far as our county Ia CON.
csrned; 1t Is the best thing that could
have occurred"
TIE Ksnawha Republican claims
that Mr.. RAIDER, who Ia elected from
CLAY and Nicholas 10 the House Of
Delegates, Is Democrat. II says also
that F. W. Meadows, Democrat, Is
elected to the House from Boone over
Robert Hagar. We notice, however,
that the Republican recognizes degrees
OF Democracy by styling G. G. Burgess,
the Delegate elect from Wayne a
"stralght'out Democrat" Possibly,
therefore, the others are not 30 much
Democrats as the Republican would
have us believe.
MITcaRII Cook, Of Wyoming, Is re-
ported elected to the Senate from the
9Th district over VIM. Workman, OF
Boone. The Kanawha Republican
claims Mr.. Cook as a Democrat. He
was Republican when in: the Legls-
lature here three or four years ago.
The Democrats had a special organ.
ization In the Kanawha region, that
did effective work In the late election.
It was called "Hindman's Ku-KIux"
or "Gideon's Band" It seems 10 have
been organized by ex Judge Hindman
who evidently has more talents for
politics than he had for the Bench.
HARRISON CoUNTY.-.The vote for
Legislature fools up as follows: Senate
foreman, tR.) 1850; Raymond, (D.)
1923. House-GoffI(R.) 1881; Carllle, 900;
Davis, (D.) llO0i Lewis, (D.) $50; Davis
majority over CArlile 100; COTS majorl.
ty over Lewis 81.
The Clarksburg Telegraph devotes
column to showing why Its late editor,
the Hon. John s. Carlile, was beaten
for the House. The figures indicate
that 1t was because he did not have
votes enough; and for that he has no.
body to blame but himself.
