The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1896-08-15

may be, but can vote this whole tick
ct without scratching or compunc
tions of conscience. We ask that
every nominee be lined up side by
side with the Republican nominee
for the same office and let the voters
say which is most competent and
most worthy to serve them in the
positions for which they stand.
We say we are entirely willing
that such test shall decide the re-
suit of the next election. There is
no doubt what the result would be
on such an issue And there is only
one thing that will defeat the Dem
ocratic tickct-if that should hap
pen-and that will be partisanship.
Many Republicans will vote for their
man-not because he will make the
best officer-but because he is Re
publican.
If, however, there is patriotic
disposition in this county to fill the
offices with men who will give us a
clean and efficient administration,
and not simply to perpetuate the
rule of Cheques and rings, who stand
only and always for the desh-pots,
there will be new deal this time.
There is evidence that the people
are ready for new DIAL 1t has
been well said that this is 1.-THE peo-
pies year" Neiths the politicians,
or the stumpers, or the newspapers
are running things this time. 1t has
been demonstrated in our national
conventions, and it is in the air.
We hope to see a little of this pop
ular independence in the county cleo
ton. 1t is time we were getting out
Of the old rut. Let us clean the
platter and start out on new deal.
Let us retire the machine and exer-
else a little intelligent discrimina-
ton by selecting the men who will
best serve the people.
Robinson Hare will make splen-
did successor to his brother in the
office of Sheriff. He is a man of fine
executive ability and business tai
ents. He is a safe man with whom
to entrust the important RESPONSE
bilities of this high Office, and he
ought to be elected
Thomas A. Haldeman will make
representative of this county in the
Legislature of whom the people will
have no cause to be ashamed. He
is not only identified with the inter
ests of the county but he is pro-
gressive and whole souled citizen.
He has the intelligence and force OF
character to make himself felt in
that body. He would command the
respect of his associates and the i'm
portant interests of our county
would be in good hands.
Our distinguished and esteemed
fellow citizen, Hon. Joseph More
land, was named by the county con
vention, against his protest, for the
office of Prosecuting Attorney. This
is case of the Office repeatedly
seeking the man. Mr. Moreland is
so well qualified for this responsible
position, that the people are deter
mined to put him there. He is by
nature and education an ideal man
for the place, and there are many
voters who will ignore party lines
when it comes to selecting Prose
cutting Attorney. Mr.. Moreland is
bound to be elected this year.
Where could you find two men
better fitted for the Circuit and
County Clerkships than j. c. San
ders and John Alexander? The peo-
pie will vote for these men without
bubble.
Elias J. Eddy is man familiar
with the interests of the County,
he will prove himself of sound judg-
ment and business sense on the
bench as county commissioner.
Mr.. South has been a skilled sur
veyor for many years and his ser
vices have been in demand always.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
geography and land values of the
county. He has partitioned many
estates and his Judgment has not
been questioned. A better man for
this important position could not be
found
For the assessorships here are two
men of good judgment who are IA
miliar with farm values as we'll as
of the town. Both are industrious,
careful men, both are widely known |
and popular. The general public
will know that the public interests
will be conscientiously looked after
in their hands and each individual |
will feel that he is being fairly treat
ed The people ought to elect them
by big majority.
Facts That Cannot be Denied.

That public debts are increasing
( That most of the railroads are
bankrupt.
