Gratis, but Uncle Henry might as well
try to close up Niagara Falls with a
cake of chewing gum as to shut the
mouths of such men as George Byrne
and Jack Anderson on this subject
with gentle protestation. One of the
most sensible utterances, adds the
State Journal, we have noticed in
connection with the question in West
Virginia, is in the Parkersburs News,
as follows:
Every other Democrat one meets
on the highways and in the byways
has different opinion as to the par
tvs position on the negro question.
Seeing the harm that the party has
done to itself in West Virginia and
other Northern States, they are try
ing to smooth the matter over and
get by as. easily as possible.
There is only one position that
the democratic party has on the ne
gro issue: It is everlastingly and eter-
nally opposed TO the negro having a
vote, free school. a church or any
thing else that might tend to edu-
cate and civilize him. Their position
is the result of passion and prejudice
carried to a frenzy that does them
more harm individually and collect
lively than it does the members of
the race at which it is aimed

grants is a political problem. But

Of the candidacy,sof Henry G. Davis
1T will go Democratic. If such people
knew Mr.. Davis as West Virginlans
know him they would at once change
their minds. There Is not nor never
was anything brilliant about him, and
why any Republican would want to go

! will not attract any one TO his sup
port We doubt If he will receive the
fun support of his party, because
many Democrats know that his great
age as well as lack of ability make
him unfit for the high office for which
he has been nominated. What we
have said above was prompted by the
recent remark of the Pittsburg Dis
patch that our State is doubtful on ac-
count Of Davis candidacy. The Nor
gantown Post replied to this, giving
the best of reasons for believing, as
we do, that West Virginia will remain
in the Republican column by sub
stantial majority. The Post said:
The Dispatch is in error, however,
IN saying that West Virginia is
doubtful State. 1t is as certain to
vote for Roosevelt as Ohio or Illinois.
A great part Of West Virsinias popu-
lation has faith in the ability of Theo-
dore Roosevelt to do the right thing
at the right time. They have felt the
effect of his administration for three
years and are well satisfied to let
him continue for another term. There
is too much at stake now, according
to the Republican view here, to per-
nit OF experiments.
IF Roosevelt is elected millions of
capital will be invested in West Fir-
ginia' railroads, coal and timber lands,
in coke production, and in many
forms of manufactures. The State is
now third in quantity of coal pro-
duced, and with greater railroad facil
tiles will take rank second only to
Pennsylvania. The building of these
new roads and the extension of
branches to the older roads. with the |
opening Of the coal and timber lands
depend upon favorable financial con-
ditions and public confidence in the |
of the policy pursued by the |
Republican party in relation to the |
tariff, the currency and the banking
system. The business interests are
menaced and inundated by the mere
possibility of a change in, these poll
cies by Democratic success. No bust I
ness~nan wants a change Conditions
cannot be improved, and will certain
ly be made less favorable by Demo-
cratic success. This is we'll under
stood by every thoughtful voter in
this State. and that is why West Vir-
ginia is not doubtful and can be con
fdently counted to vote by $4,000 ma
