POLITICS
OF Democratic Nominee For Congress
Acted With PrOhibitionists Who
Thought They Had Him Sure


In his speech yesterday, says the
Fairmont West virginian, accepting the
Congressional nomination, Walter Bar
mes said more than once that he was
martyr to Democraey-that when mold
ing the job Of prinapa7 of inc Normal
School he was confronted with the de
mand that ne give it up or give up his
party. He chose to cling to the latter
he said. Now, Walter never was con
frontcd with any such thing. He held
on to his job as long as Harvey Harmer
was n Normal regent and no longer, and
he knows that from time to time the
State became Republican until he lost
tine principalship he claimed to be not
n Democratic but Prohibitionist, and
acted right along with the Prohibition
party. As we have said many times
before, Walter got his school job not on
account of his ability rs an educator
but on account OF his activity in poll
tics, and t was because of his politics
that the Republicans insisted on mis- re
moval. The statement that he would
have been continued at the head of the
Normal had he given up his party is
ridiculous. The Republicans didn't want
MIN and the Prohibitionists thought
they had him, so it Is plain to be seen
that me was never approached with the
suggestion that he could hold his iot
by renonncing his Democracy.
