ARTHUR MIDDLETON
Writes Approximately of Mr. James
K. Halls Candidacy for the Audit
orship-The Prophecy of Political
Prophet.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. March 2s.-
]. X. Hall and C. r. Henning. OF
Wheeling. spent Sunday here They
have been in the counties along the
Chesapeake 6 Ohio looking after Mr..
Halls candidacy for auditor and sur
veying the political situation generally.
Both report the Republican party In
good trim in the counties In which they
have visited.
Mr.. Hall is one Of the most genial
and pleasant men in the state, and Is
making warm friends wherever he
goes. He could not help being so II he
tried. He's built that way. It's nat
ural with him. He's the same joyial,
even-tempered, thoughtful man at all
times and under all circumstances.
While he's a good Republican-in fact.
a thoroughbred-he doesn't carry any
earmarks about with him. and makes
friends of Democrats as readily as he
does Of Republicans. Democrats Ore
human, you know, and like a good fell
low Just as we'll as anybody.
There is no use to make any especial
comment on Mr.. Henning. The genial
sparkle OF his shrewd eyes stamp him
at once as one of the boys, and one that
can be tied to. Like Mr.. Hall, he is one
of the shrewdest politicians in the
party.
It's a failure OF mine, this making
predlctlons-a falling In one way-but
they have not been failures; generally
they come true. predict that ]. X.
Hall will be the next auditor Of West
Virginia. as the force and trend OF the
political situation points TO the fact
that the audltorial plum Is to go to the
First district. 1t belongs over there

manner. which makes a good, strong
ticket all the stronger, the way things
are shaped up now the First district
VIII get the auditor II 1t does there is
not a stronger man in the district or
q more capable man than Mr.. Hall.
Stick a pin in your memory about
this prediction. It's going to come
true.
Messrs. Hall and Henning, and a
god team they make, left this morning
to visit the counties along the Norfolk
& Western. 1t is a very safe predlc-
ton that they will make many friends
and get in good work. They're out for
that object and capable of doing It. The
Fourth district will get the governor
and will make no mistake in Joining
hands with the First for auditor. and
I am pretty sure this end OF the Fourth

REPUBLICANS REGISTER EARLY.

The Department of Elections has post
ed its notices fer the registration of voters
Tor the coming State election. The
registration days in August are the three
first Saturdays in the month, the 4th,
nth and 18th. The men who register
on these days, and only those who reg
lister on these davs, are eligible to vote
at the party primaries. This makes
early registration important. Every
voter who helps elect candidate ought
TO be able to help nominate him. A full
poll a. the primaries insures satisfactory
nominations, and solid voting at the
elections.
This is to be one of the most important
elections ever held in this State and
every Republican interested in the de-
feat of the Democrats, and the election
of full Republican ticket must register,
and ought to register early; ought to
nrge every Republican OF his acquaint-
snce to register early so as to positively
assure that good result. The informa-
aion that comes to us from all over this
county shows that the current Of opinion,
and direction of the voter movement
is toward the Union Republican party,
as the successful champion OF the Re-
publican cause in this State. The truth
Of this information is vouched for by the
attitude OF the Democratic party. Il is
IN mortal dread of the Union Republi-
ran party and is directing all its efforts
for that party's defeat. There could be
no more assuring proof Of the vitality
and potency OF the Union Republican
party than that; there could be more as
snring proof of the loyalty OF any party
10 its principles than the determined and
active opposition of its opponents.
1t is because the Union Republican
party is menace to the success of the
Democratic party, that the Democrats
are putting all their forces against it and
are ignoring all other alleged opponents.
The attack is upon the Union Repubi.
can line and that is the point to which
she Republicans, who want to repel the
Democratic attack, must come. There is
no fighting for Republican success any,
where else; for this reason every Repub.
hcan should be Union Republican, and
should register as early as possible.
Early registration will be the best possi-
bic proof of active interest in the out.
come of the election.

IMAGINE!!!

Imagine, if you can, what untold pos-
Blbilities for evil would be in the hands
OF an Addicks governor who would ap-
point our judges, an encouragement to
enforce the laws, Levy Courts to choose
the luries, and Legislature to make and
change the laws themselves with power
TO squander our surplus assets without
fear OF punishment.
The above paragraph is taken from a
copy of circular letter issued by Will.
lard Salisbury, Jr., chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, and ad.
dressed to the newly appointed members
of Democratic Advisory Committee, ap-
pointed to assist Mr.. Salisbury in the
conduct OF the Democratic campaign.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Salisbury
calls attention to possibilities of evil, d"
and that while he appeals to Democrats
npon presumption of their knowledge
of such possibilities, he, with fine dis
elimination, declines to charge the COM
mission OF any of the imaginary evils to
1he Union Republicans. This is doubt
Tess due to his memory of occurrences
not very remote. Perhaps he remem,
bered the great mandamus case in which
the Democratic party was brought
into court, upon complaint of the
Union Republicans, charged with
gavest possible violation of the
organic and statute laws of the State, and
that after long trial that party-the
Democratic party of which Mr.. Sauls-
bury was then and is now an important
The sun., 1900-07-17

o fieial-was convicted OF having unlaw.
fully overthrowa the election of 1896,
and having fraudulently usurped the ad-
ministrative and legislative power of the
State. Probably, too, Mr.. Salisbury re-
membered the conviction Of several of
his colleagues of the campaign of 1896.
OF having fraudently altered and falsified
the election returns OF this city and
county.
With these reminders we suggest that
Mr.. Salisbury and his advisory commit
tee project their imaginations from a
basis of fact and in the direction of Re-
publican and Democratic movement re-
lative to the matter at issue. If they
dare to do that they will find that their
Democratic imaginings will be evil, and
their Republican imaginings will be
good That the Democratic leadings are
toward untold probabilities OF evil, and
that the Republican leadings are away
from these untold probabilities for evi
toward all possible good.
With Mr.. Salisbury and his party il
is not case of imaginary possibilities
for evil" but one of possibilities fol
evil'' realized. The people can afford t.
indulge in the imagination of Republican
possibilities for evil" ii they can avoit
realized Democratic possibilities 70
eyil.n
We imagine Mr.. Salisbury can ap
preciate the difference between thes
two Notwithstanding and realizet
possibilities for evil"
