may expect the severest criticism

county is famed for its strengthen

in the past. 1t is well known that
much money will be used by the
republican party to carry our State
and particularly this Congressional
district. 1t behooves Us to pro-
tect our honor as citizens and sup

other words prove to tho scheming
politician that we are not for

be persuaded into party dissensions
but vote democratic ticket straight.
A vote for peoples party car di-
dates is equivalent to voting for
the republican nominees, as it
weakons our party and supports
one that cannot elect. bIr. Elkins

est duty
1t is the boast of Mr. Wisner the
republican nominee against Mr..
Wilson that he (Wilson) has nsver
had strong opponent.
Intellectually Mr.. Wisncr is not
as strong as others Mr.. Wilson has
had pitted against him. but in par
ty allegiance and all that is requir-
cd to make the practical politician
coupled with an mate hatred OF op
position he lacks nothing. When
he came to Martinsburg in 1866
during the dark days of the recon
structlon period he allied himself
with the very worst element OF that
unreaEoning and unreasonable body
of practically self constructed OIL
GERS of the law, who gave little at
tention to anything other than
methods perpetuating republican
principles ut the cost Of both justice
and the pride Of every white man
that differed with them politically.
Judging Mr.. Wisner by his past
together with his present attitude
toward the most perniclous legisla-
ton proposed by the publican
party on the force bill and through
its agency he would if given politi-
cal power exultingly hangthe chain
of political bondage on democrat
and peoples party men alike.
With Mr. Wisner, political OPP
position is crime and crime must
be punished irrespective of degree
without fear or favor to any. Dem
ocrats do your duty. Peoples par
ty men pause and consider what it
ultimately means by taking vote
from Mr.. Wilson and casting it for
another whether directly for Nr
Wlsnor or indirectly for him
through your candidate.
