Editor Register:
Politics in this county is in bad
shape so far as the Republicans are
concerned. The manner in which
Judge Freer, was treated at the
Point Pleasant Convention, by
which he had the nomination stol-
en- from him, by the infamous and
unfair rulings of Chairman North
cott, has caused deep indignation
among his friends in this county,
and hundreds of Republicans are
declaring that they will not vote
for Hughes or any man on the Re-
publican ticket,
Should it be the pleasure of the
Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton which meets at Huntington,
July 18th, to nominate Hon, Greed
Collins, of Ritchie county, for
Congress, hundreds of Republi-
cans in this county will vote for
him. From information now at
hand, we feel confident in stating
that Creed Collins will carry Ritch-
ie county, if he is the Democratic
Congressional standard bearer.
Only those on the ground can
understand the deep and bitter
feeling now manifest among Re-
publioans in this county.
Yours, r. G..

Among the Cattle in Lower
End of the County.
There is peculiar disease now
among the cattle in the lower end
of the county and farmers do not
know what it is. It attacks the
eyes of cattle and puts them blind,
and a number are in that condition
now. The farmers are alarmed
about it, and have sent to Wheel
ing for Veterinary Surgeon, The
disease is said to have started from
some cattle recently brought there
from Michigan. Every effort will
be nado to stamp out tho disease.

eeive as to campaign issues and
Ipafy beliefs:
i tsW r, Hearst, Editor Journal.
am of that great body of men
in he middle class of life, just the
lclasst that the journal says is the
IstEength of England. Then why
lno of America?
venture to say that this class
nters the approaching Presidential
catn npaign more at sea than in any
previous campaign.
Will you be kind enough to ex-
pla Specifically the differences of
belief between the Republican and
Democratic parties in the matter
of mperialism as related to our is
land Possessions? The thing is too
dense for me to figure out.
VOTER"
The twosgreat parties are prao
ticslIy settled in the oleats for the
final Of war. They have pulled
10 les against each other, but
never have their separate interests
and beliefs been more directly op-
posed.
They have led the country
straight up to the parting of the
ways. On one hand there is an
empire, built on materialism, ruled
by millionaires and maintained by
rifles.
On the other hand mighty re-
public of patriotic freemen, true to
the flag, holding the Constitution
inviolate and striving to put into
practical shape the measures con-
duoive to the greater comfort and
happiness of the people.
Which shall it be, Empire or
Republic?
The first may blaze for time,
only to sink eventually like all
great empires into red ruin. The
second will be reverting to and a
continuation of the principles laid
down by our forefathers in the De-
claration of Independence, and the
perpetuation of free and just oiv-
ilization.
The imperiallsts, while ostensi-
bly, holding to their pledge of in
dependence for Cuba are drifting
gradually toward forcible annexa-
ton of the island.
The Democratic party favors in
dependence for Cuba in all that the
word implies, coupled with just
and reciprocal relations as to trade.
The imperialists have establish
ed an unconstitutional sovereignty
in Porto Rico, whereby the inhab-
itants are protected from all coun-
tries but this. They asked for an
nexation. We gave them flags and
rifles, and behind the flags and
rifles were the granite fists of the
trusts.
The Democratic party believes
in the abolition of the hybrid gov
ernment of Porto Rico and the es-
of a full territorial
form OF government, with educa-
tional restriction ns to suffrage.
Making the Porto Ricans Ameri-
can citizens will satisfy them that
they are not to be treated as aliens
and dependents.
The imperialists, by their acts in
the island that have fallen to our
care seem to believe that the ulti-
mate destiny of every person in
those islands is to become the sub
ject of an American empire.
It is the belief of the Democrat
ic party that the ultimate destiny
of every person under our flag is
citizenship
On these facts every voter in the
United States will have to make
choice between an empire and
repubIic.-New York journal.

SNAPPER,
When one hears Republican,
talking SO buoyantly about the
great prosperity that exists, he
should be requested to point out
the individual, aside from an office
holder, the member of a trust or of
some monopoly, who is enjoying
any unusual prosperity. To talk
about the general good times that
exist among the farmers is all stuff.
They are not paying off any more
debts, or putting any more money
in the bank than ordinary. Every
man who has dealings genrally with
the farmers, or is in situation to
know the real situation, knows that
this is true. Men to whom farm
ers are indebted will tell you that
they are being begged for indul-
genoes, just as they have been dur
ing the last several years. The
men who are enjoying special
privileges, and the business inter
ests which are protected by law in
maintaining a monopoly are pros
pering, but their prosperity is
reaped off of the people at large,
and the moro they make. and the
greater their measure of prosperity
the more the people are pinohed
and impoverished. = Charleston
