- MINER IN ruR BAcKwoops.
Writes A Letter fa,oring the Election
ofCol. Davis for congress.
To the Edi,or Of The Arsn.

To the Editor Of The Argus.
notice that the Journal tries TO slur Col.
Tom Davis, the Democratic nominee for
Congress, and good sound man in every
way, and tries to hold up \. &. Dayton.
who IS very poor Republican aud has been
working under German 4 Co, at the IVES,
End and against all the miners and working
men there. Now, MIR. Voter, If YOU want
to vote fcr laboring mans friend. think be
fore you vote, and cast il for Col. Tom
Davis, of Piedmont. and IL YOU need a Job
of work, SO to him aud you will &c, il.
Look at the thousands OF men that are work
ing under him and have been for many
years, helping To develop the riches of the
State. These men who get their bread aud
meat and support their families hy the
work they get from Davis, ough, to stand
by him. Now eau you say as much for
Dayton What has he done for the work
ingman He has been elected heretofore
by these same men who will be for Davis
this time. The writer has worked fors the
Davis Company for rs OF 20 years and al
ways found the Colonel all right aud ready
TO help poor man and give him work, aud
can truly say that he is poor mans
friend. lie has more work going on in one
day than A. 6. Dayton has in one year.
Look how the Davis Bros. built up the town
of Deer Park, Md. Look at Piedmont and
keyser in West Virginia. Look at their
railroads, coke ovens, coal mines, lumber
camps, saw.mills and other industries. Now
why should we not support Davis Let
Dayton go home aud learn how to be
friend to the lsboring man. How I heard
hun plead in kingwood To bc elected the
third time and how he promised to do justice
TO all, but how quick he turned down the
miners at the West End. when they all
signed petition to have one of their own
men appointed postmaster, and Dayton
gave II TO tool of German 4 Co, and a
halfway Democrat and turned down a
Republican who had always worked for
him in times past, and still stood 10y him.
Now Mr.. Editor, the United Mine Work
ers are bound to scratch Dayton at the
polls all over the district. Take Mineral
county, which gave Dayton majority two
years ago, bu, will surely SO the other way
this time also in Grant and Tucker. where
the mining vote is strong. Mr.. Dayton may
as well go home aud go TO work and learn
to be workingman himself
And now, Mr.. Voter if you don't want TO
lose your vote, you had better cast it for
Col. Thomas Is. Davis. Also don't forget
Judge Holt for Governor, as he is good
man and knows the law aud that is the kind
OF a man we want in that office. am
miner and tailoring man and don't pre-
tend TO be a writer or speaker. but am not
ashamed 20 let il be known where stand.

IVES ATKINSON
Has PardOned 1917 Criminals During
Ills Term OF Office.

During the first three years of
Governor MacCorkle's administra-
ton 4S pardons were issued and Ia
fines RENTED by the Executive.
During the first three years Of Re
publican administration 40 pardons
were issued, and fines were RENTED
in 81 cases a total of 90 under a
Democratic Governor against a
total of I07 under a Republican
Governor for corresponding
period Of time. The Republican
Governor seems determined that
those who outrage the laws Of the
State shall not suffer the consequent
ces of their guilt. Unless this is
done with the hope Of swelling the
Republican vote in the State the
object of it is hidden.

DOLLlyERS FAILURE.


We arc sorry that we haven't room this
week to give a full account Of the big joint
debate over at Mt. Lake Park. Tuesday af-
ternoon Of this week, on the Expansion
question. Champ Clark, member Of Con-
gress from the Moth Missouri district WIS
on hand 10 debate the Democratic side Of
the question, but J. Z. Deliver disappointed
his friends greatly by failing to keep his
engagement to discuss the other side, and
Gen. Charles Henry Grosvcnor. Of Ohio,
filed the place. Doliyer is an old King
wood boy, and our people were anxious 10
hear him, and were there by the hundreds
from this county. Dollver has just been
appointed 10 the Senate by Gov. Shaw, Of
Iowa, to FIJI the unexpircd term Of United
States Senator Gear, who died las, week,
and as his term expires March 9TH, the Leg
islature this winter will elect some ono for
the full term, and Deliver IS now looking
after that, hence his failure to CONS To- the
Park. There were about 5000 people there
10 hear the debate. which was rather tame.

hard to stop his train, but could not. lie

to escape, but unable 20 do so. lie was in
stantly killed, his head being severed from
