EXPERIENCE has shown all the
panics that have come over the
country have been brought about
by the free trade policy of the
Democratic party. The panics
of our country in 1917 and 1887
are traced to Democratic rule.
Thomas H. Benton deplored the
disaster worked in this country
by free trade. A change was
brought about by the Walker
tariff bill in 1912. In 1S46 a bill

VOTE fOR FAIRS.

ED. TELEGRAM: The char
man Of the Democratic County
Committee is one of the editors
of a certain Democratic paper
published in Clarksburg that ad-
yocates licensed liquor SALOONS.
To carry out this he asks that a
great effort be mad e to beat Faris
and get Wesley Post elected.
The unmistakable inference is
that Mr.. Post is for the saloon
and Mr.. Faris opposed TO license.
Mr.. Post, wien questioned upon
this matter. does not deny it.
We are not interested in the sa-
loon question ourselves, but
when our Democratic friends try
to dodge the issue and gain votes
by placing a man on their ticket
who is to be used for a certain
purpose, if elected, the people
ought to know it. F'aris is a
splendid business man, a man
who will strive TODD the business
of the county as 1t should be
done. He will get a number of
Democratic votes, and merits the
support of his party. He will
be elected by a large majority.

The scheme now adopted by
the Howard crowd is to induce
all the Catholic Republicans to
desert Dovener. Every issue Of
the Register is filed with a lot Of
slush about the Republicans dis.
tributing A. P. A. literature in
order to get the protestant vote
aroused against Howard. So far,
we have never yet seen a line in
a Republican newspaper con
demning Mr.. Howard becausehe
was a Catholic and the stuff pub
lished in the Register and the
Clarksburg Ne,os about A. p, A.
literature is certainly a slick
dodge TO drive the Catholic vote
to Howard. Capt. Doyener is
not "a Catholic. Heis a descend.
ant of a Protestant family but he
has no unkind feeling for Mr..
Howard on account of his relig
ion. The Republican press and
the Republican party have no
connection whatever, near OF re-
mote with the A, P. A. We be-
lieve Howard should be defeated
because he is for free coal, free
wool and free lumber and not be-
cause he is a Catholic. He is
personally a very nice gentle
man bat his policy is antagonis-
tic to prosperity in this country.

anything about the Office of Coun-

Democratic newspapers are de-
handing Republican votes for
Mr.. Ogden on the grounds of his
being the "best man for the
place we meekly call for a few
reasons for such an assumption.
Mr.. Ogden is a pleasant young
man, a graduate of Salem Col

of school. Mr.. James E. Law is
a graduate from the same school,
a young man of ability and a true
blue Republican. His morals are
uuquestioned. He is earnest,

He is older than his opponent by
a few years and has had several
years experience as a teacher.
He will be elected and will be an

THE wages of the miners in
the Fairmont region were cut
down and the cry went up that
the reduction would defeat w. L.
Wilson for Congress in the Sec
ond district. The Fairmont
hader, a leading Democratic
paper, hastens to explain it as
follows:
The reduction of the price
for digging coal was simply a
business necessity and the most
Intelligent operators tell US that
in justice to themselves it should
have been, done one month ago,
but they felt disposed to continue
the OLD figure as long as possible,
hoping that something would
turn up so that a reduction would
not be necessary. Coal is cheap
everywhere"
The explanation is good. "a
business necessity has caused
