We are Informed that b. L.
Pyle. father of S. G. Plye, the
well-known banker and politician
Of Middlebourne, has left the Re
publican party and is now an
out-and-out Prohibitionist. The
solid Republican voters OF this
county are positively refusing to
be lead around by Doodle and
booze candidates. The Prohlbl-
ton vote in this county is gong
to surprise the political leaders
very much.

It's a fact the South rem
Oil company has discharged all
the men it can get along without
as our informant tells us, who
has been discharged, the men are
laid off until after the election.
As a great majority of the men
who are turned off are Republl-
can voters and are leaving for
other points, the question is nat
urally asked, what does THIS
mean? Is the Standard going to
trv and elect Cornwell and down
Dawson. or what is the intent OF
this movement? We did not be-
lieve the report at first, but when
q man who has been discharged
until after the election tells us,
we must believe it. Something IS
going to happen. The Standard
does many things we do not ad-
mire hut we must confess when
# goes after anything it generally
wins out. The political forecast
in this county is very doubtful,
and no man can foretell who is
Going to be elected-especially on
the county ticket.

The voters Of Sistersviile posi-

politics this year. They are all
too busy to attend to anything

vote just as they please, and the

the nose as long as they intend to

One of the orators at the FIJI
day night meeting at the Lone
berger school house on Sancho,
made the statement that the tax
laws as printed in the Oil Review
were not correct. The orator,
however, did not then clinch his
argument by reading the new
laws. That's about the last thing
a Republican orator will DO II
any of our readers have the
slightest doubt about our mlsquot-
ING the law they can readily have

self-respecting citizen who can
read the English language. There
is no doubt at all about all real

organized in every school house
in the county, so we hear. Chair
man Anderson is doing this work
for which, we are informed, he is
paid 1925 per month and ex-
penses, and will later on, if his
party is successful, get fat office
Of some kind for his own use. We
do not find fault with the COM
mittee nor with Mr.. Anderson.
They are only doing what is ex-
pected of them, and it is certainly
a lucrative position for the
chairman. Mr.. Anderson, so we
are informed, tries to stir up the
feeling of the people by making
q speech at each one of these
whip 'em-into-line meetings, and
Is naturally more severe on the
Democrats, under the rule that
the recent convert always de-
nounces his own folly, as he re-
CARDS it. more loudly than does
anybody else. He is possibly dis
pleased at the Improvement IN his
former Democratic party result
ing from his leaving it. When
the Republicans get so jubilant
over Mr.. Anderson structures on
the democracy they do not seem
to consider the fact that not long
since they were especially con-
demning the Democratic party
because Anderson favored 1T.
Some Republicans object, how
ever saying they only too recently
heard Mr.. Anderson condemnlng
their party to have much faith in
his change of heart. But, after
all, this is not very serious mat
ter. The principal issue in the
campaign is who owns this coun-
ty-the honest voter, or the few
men who favor rule by whiskey,
money and what money will buy
to control our county affairs.
Ben Shriver is an honest man;
competent to be Sheriff, trust
worthy, a good neighbor and cit
Ren, but he is only a fgurehead
for the political bosses. In other
words, he is what the gang calls
a "safe man." And a "safe
man" is a man who takes his or
ders, ease, honors and lets the
bosses reign and make no trouble
for them. R. L. Moore, former
committeeman in this district,
was at one time considered a
"safe man." but he declined to
be bossed and dictated to, and
down he went. Charley Como
way was another "Safe man. I'M
til he rebelled, and out he went.
Now. these clubs that are being
organized are for the sole and
only purpose of arousing political
hatred and partisan feeling to IN
duce the voters to vote full Re-
publican ticket in November.
These political bosses laugh at
the club members as they swing
them into line. You are simply
helping them to hold power and
to control the county. Two days
after the election these leaders
won't say good morning to YOU.
ALI they want of YOU now is
your vote. then they are through
with you, and they will gather up
the plums in the way of offices
and other gratis. There IS no
doubt about this at all. You will
be much better off to give them a
wide berth. You are just as COM
petent to vote as Mr.. Anderson is.
Perhaps more so. Don't play sec

gun in the Superior Court yesterday
by Attorney G. H. Perry for W. F.
and E. c. Clark. doing business as W.
F. Clark & Bro, against ]. E. Bell and
A. D. Harrison, doing business as Cat
ton, Bell & Co. On Thursday Clark

$4,000, which he alleged was due on
unpaid percentages of the profits in
the business. Of which he was man
ager for ten years. The Catton-BeIl
Company on the same day sued Clark
for $500 alleged to be owing by him
for money loaned. debts paid for him
and goods purchased while he had a
running open account with the COM
pany.
The Clark brothers are in the ship
ping and commission business, prac-
ticaIIy the same Line as the firm sued.
In the complaint it is alleged that the
defendants have wiIlfuily. maIiciousIy
and falsely circulated reports in the
business communities of this city and
California to the effect that the plain
tiffs- were irresponsible, insolvent and
unworthv of credit It is said that
the customers of Clark & Bro. have
been told that the firm was selling
limitation goods and that the de-
