West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1886-10-29

The Journal, with q characteristic
largeness of vision, discerns the far
reaching conclusion that THE AR
GUS "has blossomed out again as the
soldiers champion. 1t always does
about election time"
The ARGUS has never paraded it.
self as the soldiers champion. We
have asked for fair treatment of the
soldier. We believe the soldier is
entitled to representation on our
county ticket. Charity begins at
home" is q tried truism, and one
in which the Journal never fails to
overlook when one of its henchmen
IS seeking an Office. 1t is willing to
cross the boundary line of Preston
and support soldier for office, but
when n soldier offers himself as a
candidate in a Republican convention
of Preston the Journal sets down on
him with an alacrity that would make
even Judge HoEe blush when eu'
logizing the soldier at a reunion
The Judge is willing to Withdraw in
favor of the soldier at reunion, but
when he gets in Republican cen
vention he modestly asks the soldier
to Withdraw in favor of him. So il
is with the Journal. 1t is always
crying out in laundering tones that
it is the friend of the soldier, but
some how it forgets its friendship
when the soldier wants Office. The
fact is, the Journal is the sworn en-.
envy of the soldier in Preston Comfy.
How many soldiers are represented
on the Republican ticket of this coun-
ty ? Ask the Journal, Jones, Hoke,
Beatty and Elliott.

WORKING men should remember
that the only thing the Republican
party ever did for the laborIng man
was to pass the infamous Contract
Labor bill in 1864, thus permitting
corporations to import the pauper
labor of Europe and ASIA, to crowd
out the honest American laborer.
They should further Jog their memory
with the fact that it was the Demo-
cratic party that repealed this in.
famous bill, and passed a bill pro
hibting the importation of contract
labor to this country. Let the honest
laboriDg man decide which is his
friend, the party that legislates in IA.
vor Of contract labor or the party that
legislatcs against contract labor.

The Journal machine, tied behind
the chorio. of John =. Jones, says
"Mr. Jones tells us that he did send
Scott money to buy house and lot /;
that lac borroaced the money here, and
is paying interest on it,
This is high sounding, emphatic
and ambiguous, and it affords us i'm.
mense pleasure 10 agree with the
Journal. 1t has told the truth for
once. Jones did borrow money here
and sent it to his son Scott, and lie is
paying interest on 1T But the ion :
nal, as usual, forgcts 80 state the
facts in regard TO Jones borrowing
this money: Jones borrowed part of
this mon Of UJh soldie, So sol
diers who were denied a pension un.
der a Republican administration. He
pays the Union soldier fouJ per cent
interest on the money and has it sent
to his son Scott who loans 10 out lin
the State of Nebraska for TWENTY.
FOUR per cent interest. This is the
way Jones borrows his money We
imagine most any man would borrow
money under like circumstances. If
Mr. Joncs's borrowing money at four
per cent and sending 10 out Of ,he
State where lbs gets twenty-four per
cent is JeacN to the county Of Pres.
ton, then we say Lord deliver US from
such benefits. John =. Jones has no
interest in this county, save selCm-
terest. Heis not 10 man to send TO
the legislature, and he should be de.
featCd.

The Journal thinks Lyon District
should not have the Commissioner,
but Portland District should have it.
Why Because "Jones he pays
the freight and owns the brains of
the Republican party. Why give
Portland District all the Offices {?
Are not the other Districts entitled

WHILE the Journal is in humor-
Gus mood will it please be so funny
as to tell us why John p. Jones is
the Republican party of Preston
County ? Why it opposes the sol.
dier? Why it favors high taxation {?
Why 1T is opposed to giving Lyon
District one representative and Port
land District three representatives a.?
Why he believes in excluding all
the other districts from represen-
tation? He will find lots of fun in
answering these questions satisfac-
torily.

WE warn every Democrat to be on
his guard. The Republicans are
sending out secret circulars, pro.
claiming every clap-trap that pre-.
varicating genius can invent. The
Journal this week will be full of at

them as silly falshoods. Let no Dem-

No man can Justly say ,hat our
candidate for Congress. Hon Wan.
l.. Wilson, is not fitted for the Office
TO which he aspires, or that he is not
a most appropriate representative.
He has been weighed in the balance
and not found wanting. lie has
been true to every trust and interest
Of his district He is a ripe scholar
and a Christian gcptlem an and when.
the Journal calls him free trader
it displays its antediluvian politics
and lack of originality. The Demo.
crat who cannot vote for VIM. l..
Wilson is not Democrat. The sol.
diers have no better friend than Mr..
wilson. He is not the pretended
friend of the soldier like the Journal
and its truckers, but an honest adj.
vocate oftheir claims in Congress.
Speaker Carlisle, in his speech at
Grafton two years ago, said Mr.. viii.
son was one of the brightest mem
bers in the 48th Congress. Since
then he has served his second term,
and if every Democrat puts his shout
der to the wheel he will be elected
to the jOth Congress by the largest
vote ever given q Congressman from
the Second Congressional District.

SOLDIERS, who were told in the
last campaign that if the Democratic
party succeeded in electing Grover
Cleveland President their pensions
would be taken away from them,
may be purprised to learn that the
FOrty-ninth Congress, which was
Democratic, appropriated 100000
more than any previous Congress
for the boys who wore tho blue. Such
is the case, however, and we surmise
the Journal is correspondingly hap.
Ply, for it has failed to mention the
fact as the champion and friend Of
the soldier.

IN one Of the secret circulars sent
out by the Republican State TX
ecutive Committee TO It's henchmen it
admonished them TO haye horses and
carriages at every voting place, and
If any Republican fail to be at the
polls by noon on the day OF election
70 dispatch horse and carriage for
him and bring him in and vote him.
We hope this is sufficiently plain for
any Democrat TO understand 10
means that all The Republicans will
be brought out TO vote. None will
be allowed TO stay ut bone. It de-
wolves upon every true Democrat TO
come out on the day Of the election
and 10 see that his neigbbor comes

WE learn from a reliable source
that there is report being circulat.
ed by one Samuel p Mccormick that
Hon. VIM l.. Wilson once upon a

This is being done, ofcourse,to injure

tated by Mr.. Wilson and written by
another gentleman is to be circulat.

in the next issue Of the JorlaqL
We arc authorized 10y Mr. Wilson TO
say that he never bOlted q Democrat
ic convention thot he never dictate d
such a letter, and that the whole
thing is a falsehood. 10 would be
unnecessary TO tell those who know
Mr. Wilson shat be- is thorough
Democrat, and Che last Democrat in
West Virginia who would be guilty
Of boiling a conventions but those
who are not acquainted with the

part Of the Republican tactics and
they must not be deceived by such

Vote for Wilson.

The Journal believes it would be
unfair to give Lyon District the Coun-
ty Commissioner, but it believes it is
its sacred duty to give Portland Dis.
trict THREE officers. 1t would
gladly give all the offices to Port

district in the county has sufficient
brains. Well, well

WIN. l.. WILSON voted to increase
the widows pension from SO to S12
per month. He voted to increase
the one-armed and one-legged sol
diers' pensions. The soldier has no
better friend in or out of Congress
than VIM. l.. Wilson. The soldier
should appreciate such friendships
and vote for VIM. l. Wilson.
