The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1902-05-16


GINA and not any section thereof Such man bount
to attract a following that will play important part ii
deciding the senatorial contest.
We have nothing against our esteemed contemporary
the Herald but strikes that they have butted il
badly on the county clerkship five remember the re
publican party split the cerkshp six year
ago and the chief object for which the Herald was esao
lished was to defeat the present ncumbentS renoma
ton For a ten-dolar announcement fee the paper de
cares Mr.. Highland be lone of the most efficient ane
accommodate ing officers the county has had" ans
thus before the curtain goes up took all the scare out OF
whatever stage thunder their future program called for
But they did worse thing when the next week thoy de
cared there was objection to Highland, but they
wanted the job themselves. Amt that awful Howl
people going get Of any decent citizen
that platform beyond us-County Mail and Advertiser
Hons. George G. Cole, of Lewis county, and G.
Taylor OF Doddridge both candidates for The
publican nomination for the state snatorshp in this dis
trct visited Carksburg this look after their t
cal fences. They both have friends in this county
and both have had experience in the legislature Mr. Cole
is brilliant lawyer and talented debater. Mr. Taylor
is successful farmer of prominence in this county Mr.
Coe possibly more widely known in this county and has
verystrong endorsements His opponent while not sc
widely known also has warm supporters in Harrison The
more aggressive OF the will likely capture the dcega
ton Coles friends are claiming thecounty and nona
ton for him. Tayos friends nguine of his success
Either would make good representative.
COL Henry Raymond and Enoch Q. Tetrck have been
the Republican circuit of but because OF
that fact, shall they be attacked too? The people know
these men and they also that with such In an
socupus,'' that octopus is not at all dangerous.
Hess, Lynch, Davis, Raymond Willis Wyatt and
Wahburn few persons believe, must be vilied because
the Republican party elected them the legislature and
yet these representative citizens Of Harrison
ty. With such menin it that is terrible and threaten
ing octupus, isn't ? Simply preposterous
Men like Stout, Minter, Sturm Faris, Cunningham
and Lodge had to assaed because they have been
elected by the Republican party members OF our county
court Are these men not known Have they not done
the best they knew how for the countys welfare Yes
the verdict of ALL Then, why asa them and accuse
themof corruption and dishonesty Of purpose
While the Herald is heaping abuse upon Highland
the Telegram has nothing but the kndest words for Mr.
Swlger. Should Mr. Swiger receive the nomination. the
Telegram will at champion his cause and use every
effort for his election for the choice OF the Republican
party of Harrison county.
Judge Maxwell Senator's Reed and Harmer are also
vded. Why Because they have all been Republican
statesenators. What an awful charge No but Demo
Gratis ought to be brazen enough ud fault with that

Non. bSnk fora anti hat
ty, Alexander, iiaker, Lawson, Davis, Hammond and
Hughes county assessors, 'red the pockets of
taxpayers 2. Yet, few protested Republicans
them OF that very thing, but the people know better
The Herald jumps on to Maj. A. c. Moore who has al
waysood by his party and the party by him. The Major
has elected Office for the last thirty years. Who
but the Herald says always loyal his party
Does any one believe the Republican sheriGs Of this
county not honorable and upright in office Will
any one say Holmes Alexander, Lang and Fleming we're
corrupt? They all representative citizens and have
