DAWSON DENIES

That the Republican Headquarters
are Closed Up-Belief That State
Ticket Will BIO Elected by Increased
Majority.
To the Editor OF the Intelligenccr.
S1R:-Will you please deny the RI
diculous faisehood. circulated by GER
tain Democratic newspapers and other
liars, that these headquarters have been
closed up and all work stopped. and
that have given up the state rs lost
to the Republicans. These headquar-
ters were never more energetic or con-
fdent that Mckinley and the state tick
ct will carry this state by largely in
creased majorities and that the legis-
lature will be safely Republican In
both branches In saying this we are
not unmindful OF the desperate
schemes premeditated by the desper-
ate "Bryanite leaders" OF this state,
who have sent out circular letter that
the only thing necessary to keep q vo-
ter from voting Is to have the voter
challenged. and the election commits
sioners to refuse TO allow him to vote.
Not having the power to disfranchlsn
the colored voter by law It Is their pur-
pose to dIsfranchIse as many Of them
as they can, by trickery. fraud and
force. These same desperate leaders.
who formerly howled about United
States deputy marshals ut the polls,
are now trying to induce the federal
authorities to interfere in the coming
election by the appointment Of extra
United States commissioners whom. Il
Is presumed, they hope Will be under
their control. Republicans should re-
member that some of the same men are
at the head OF the Democratic machines
In this state who counted out General
Golf In 1883 and who pcrpetrated the
purple pencil frauds in Taylor county
and similar frauds In Webster county In
1898. and Republicans should have the
courage and manhood to stand up for
their rights and refuse to be cheated or
inundated. We want nothing but what
is right-that every legal voter wheth-
er white or black. shall be allowed to
vote. and that his vote shall be count
ed as cast. That right is very sacred
one and is worth fighting for. II neces-
sary. w. NJ. o. DAWSON,

Their Sole Aim

The Democratic managers know that
West Virginia is naturally n Republican
state. They are fighting now but for
one thing-THE LEGISLATURE.
Why? Because they want to elect a
United States senator. Because they
want to gerrymander the state and
elect United States senator's in the flu
ture. Because they want to make con-
grcsslonal districts. that will be safely
Democratic. Because they want oppor-
tunity to pass laws to keep the Republic
can party out OF power In West Yir-
ginia as far as they can for the next
ten years.
II you let them come anywhere near
doing 1t. they will play the kentucky
.Gocbcl act In West Virginia. 1t is their
last despalring hope in this state. Bury
their legislative candidates under ma
jorities that cannot be counted out, and
make frauds impossible.

( Do you think any Democratic United
States senator will help along the
bounding growth with which West vlr-
ginia has been blessed In recent years?
! Would he vote for q sound dollar and
national credit? Would he vote for pro-
lection to coal, timber and OTHER vast
natural resources, to farm products,
and Industrial. enterprises? Would he
vote with Mckinley for strong. dIgni-
Ned foreign policy BETTING the great
ness OF this nation? Or would he vote
with Bryan to turn the Philippines over
to Aguinaldo and bring back the Amer.
lean flag to I Chlna-walled America?
Think OF these things before you vote
for any Democratic candidate for the
/ Legislature.

The Verdict Made Up.

The national and state campaigns
have about closed. The arguments are
oil in, and the people have composed
their minds as to their duty at the polls
next Tuesday. Anything that may DO
sprung now that could not Just as well
have been discussed wccka ago will
have no effect on the Jury Of Americans
who have already made up their verdict.
So far as West Virginia goes the Re-
publIcans have the utmost confidence,
and that confidence is.not based on con-
lecture, but well grounded facts-the
Republicans have the utmost confidence
we say, that West Virginia VIII give a
majority for William Mckinley OF II, 900
or more, with, perhaps. a slight falling
off for the state ticket.
They also confidently believe that the
legislature will be Republican In both
houses, with a majority on Joint ballot
OF from fifteen to twenty, thereby in
surfing the reelection Of Senator ElkIns
to the United statcS senate. The Re-
publicans will also elect all Of the four
Congressional caR4 oates.
These things the Republicans are GER
tain of inspitc otitfe desDalr'as efforts
OF. the Democracy. which Is attempting
BY most pern!cIous lies and silly roor-
backs to divert the attention OF the
voter by tho exploitation of prcpostcr-
GUS actions IN regard 10 alleged fraudu-
lent schemes the Republicans have In
View 1t Is too late. West Virginia Is
too securely anchored in the Republican
column TO be budged from It's moorings.
Let the people be- assured that so far
as the Republican, are CONCERNED there
will be fair vote and honest count. We
want only what ls.jually coming to us.

could only give but one reply, but listen
ito the adroitness OF the accomplished
advocate, and note how weakly he de-
tends himself. He says: MY views on
