HERALD PLEDGED TO DEMOCRATIC
RING.


A leading Democrat, one who has vot
ed and worked for the Democratic
ticket all his life and a man who has
always been admitted to the councils Of
tne Democratic ring. so far a. our
knowledge confirms and we have sui.
ficient reasons for forming or own con.
vetions in that direction, said yestcr-
day in his forecast of Democratic vie.
tory in the county this something
he would do anyway in spite of all rea-
son for he is too rabid a party man and
too naTow-minded to look more than
ono way upon any questidn-that the
. Democratic party had a help this cam
paign that worked in two ways. When
interrogatcd by byetander rs to what
this alleged great double-action help was
he mhesitatingly replied that it was
the Harrison Comtv-Herald. He said
that the Herald had pledged itself
privately TO the Democratic ring, that
it would work for the nomination and
election of the whole Democratic ticket
this fall in a way that would hoodwink
some of the Republicans into line for
them.
In other words he said the Herald
would make certain Republicans vote
the way they wanted them to by pull
ing the wool over their eyes in a foxy
and surreptitious manner. and tnat all
the while they were really working for
the Democratic party.
This scurrilous scheme has been con
firmed in moro than one way aud upon
more than this one very good evidence
brought forth.
There Is no doubt but that this is the
dirty scheme that the Herald will Inv t.
work out this summer and fail. Ii will

the Democratic ring. We don't know
just how the Democratic ring got taem,
or bought them. or won them over to
their side-whicheyer it may be-but
this prominent Democrat boasts that the
Herald is bound and pledged to the
Democratic party.

Roek,ribbed Democrats have hit on a
plan that they think is real catchy.
They 30 to Republicans, who they think
are not loyal and start out with the
innocent remark that they are going "a
vote for Roosevelt for president, think
ing to beguile their auditors. Then
they gently hint that they must have
a Democratic sheriff. The situation Is
they are trying to trade of their presi.
Dental candidate, whoever he may be
for their candidate for sheriff. But "a
far they have run up against the wrong
men, a. taey painfully learn. They are
informed that it is a pleasure to hcn
Democrats talking about voting fol
Roosevelt, but the suggestion that Re.
publicans should vote for a Deomcrat
for sheriff j. mot to be thought Of for .
moment. Then these scheming Demo.

Democrats have become desperate, when
they forsakc national principles to pro,

been a great vote getter and they need
not think he win not break The record
this time. He Is a clean man, morally,
a man Of principle, sober man, man
fitted for tae position TO which he as
pires. That is why that little crowd
does not want him. See whether or not
they put up a man that alls the bill in
those particulars, and see, again, if they
have enough home pride to name nome

If the News should refuse to "runv
the Democratic ticket that is to be nom.
mated, what an awful howl would 90 up
among the Democrats They would i'm.
mediately say that the News was not a
Democratic paper, and why should they
not do sol There is no reason, so far
as We know, why that sheet should not
run it, party's ticket and yet IL tries
to say that pretended Republican
paper is really Republican paper be-
cause it does not "run" the Republican
ticket. Think of it, will you, Repub.
lean, the First congressional district Of
West Virginia has nominated a Repub.
lican for congress, and yet pretended
Republican paper, namely the Demo
cratic Herald of this county, refuses to
support him and ignores his nomination
and candidacy except to cast reflections
on the choice and wisdom of the Repub.
lican party in eight grand counties Of
the state, who nominated him unani-
mously! This leads to the question
who is the Republican party in the First
congressional district OF West Virginia?
i it Doe and his little gang, who are
trying to turn one of the most important
counties Of the state over to the Demo
cratic sehemers and trieksters? Accord.
ing to the course OF the Herald it is
Bat the people have their eyes open and
they do not propose to stand for it, The
Herald has no right TO make pretensions
TO being Republican paper and at Tile
same time oppose tine wishes OF eight
counties Of the state. When it does tia
il confes.es publicly that it is running
itself in the interest OF the Democratic
party, and that is exactly what every
true blue Republican is telling it at
this time.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1904-06-08

The News admits that it intends tc
let the little clique here do the nomin-
ating and that means that it wants the
public to know that it does not propose
to look after the interest Of the country
Democrats in the Democratic convention.
That is another admission taat it was
not sincere a few weeks 1go in its ut
teranees in behalf OF the-country people.
That burden of love it had for them
then, when it thought 10 get country Re-
publicans preiudieed against city Re
publicans, seems 10 haze become 50
heavy as to push the veil Of insinceriiy
aside and show it in all il, hypocritical
ugliness.

Democratic Ring Sheet Numier One
states that the Telegram accuses it of
having the same editorial writer as that

While this is partially true, we beg to
advise the clique sheet that ii has made
a Typographical error. The same edi.
torial writer's who dump their political
garbage into Democratic Garbage Can
Number One are the same aud identical
ones who dump verbal slop into Number

The test OF the politics of a paper is
its course as to officials elected by its

has always been friendly to all whom

Friends Rally To
Old Santa Claus
lRy Rev. Thomas II. Gregory.l

Wy NV iHoWuS ", Nfegory,l
The question of retiring Santa
Claus is a monstrous one, As soon
talk of retiring the sunshine, the
flowers and the singing birds,
Gloomy would this world be without
the red.faced, jolly.hearted old fe!.
low who, for generations upon gen
e%rations, has been coming once a year
to make the children glad. And yet
they call him a myth"
II Is true that hut few have ever
laid eyes on Santa Claus. There arc
those who claim that he has never
been seen, But what OF II! All the
great things are invisible-love. and
Joy. and hope. and courage, and life
itself.
A fact is not necessarily something
that We a see and take hold Of and
measure with the foot rule or put ~
the scales and weigh like a bale oil
hay or load Of coal. ,
Santa Claus Ia real In the same
sense that We are-he Is a spirit, a
presence. a power. an influence,
which Is all that the rest OF us are,
The only trouble Is too many OF us
are getting to be so materialized and
mercenary we cannot appreciate the
noble old fellow.
A noble old fellow he certainly is!
Good natured he Is to a iauit. Nc
one Of the privileged few who have
been fortunate enough to lay eyes up
on him ever saw a scowl upon his
brow. He Is always happy-because
he is always thinning Of making 9th
ers happy.
His usefulness Is absolute, his gen
crosby Is unbounded and to make
even one little child glad he would &c
to the ends of the earth!
He believes that happiness is the
greatest thing in the world, and when
he starts out ON Christmas eve tC
scatter this blessing around among
the children nothing can daunt or dis
courage him.
The disappearance Of the big wide
chimneys and ample fireplaces makes
lots Of trouble for him, but he always
manages somehow to be on hand with
the presents that shall make the little
folk happy. II he cannot slip dowr
the chimney ne will climb off thu
fire-escape-any way to make thu
children glad.
And Is 1t not monstrous, nay. infa
nous. that rs his. reward for sucl
unselfish generosity. Santa Clau'
should receive such contumely and re
proach as is being poured upon hin
in certain quarters?
He has heard of the disposition, fel
in some minds, to speak OF him. witt
flippant 1ncredulity and disreSpeci
and, jolly as he is by nature. 1t make
him feel anything but happy.
We ought to be ashamed OF our
selves. We owe the grand old fellow
an immediate apology.
Santa Claus is the best friend tina
the children have on earth. Let IL
not poison their minds against him.
