Much talk is being INDUCED in by
the Teter men in favor of nominating
neither Teter nor Dawson, upon their
assertion that the contest has been
sucn bitter one that neither could
lie elected. This talk has gone TO the
extent of naming two or three social
ed compromise candidates Such
talk is a reflection upon the loyalty
of the Dawson and the Teter sup
porters We are Republicans first,
last and all the while, and Dawson or
Teter followers next-Morgantown
Post.
The West virginian has been and
Is now opposed to the nomination of
either Teter or Dawson, and yet the
West Virginian is not one of the
"Teter men," There has never been
an utterance in the columns of this
paper TO indicate that it preferred
Mr. Teter to Mr.. Dawson. The Post
is in a position to know as much
about the feeling throughout the
State as is this paper, and believing
that it does know as much, We are
surprised at its attitude. 1t looks to
us like it is Indifferent as to what
may happen if either Dawson or Te-
Ter lie nominated. Isn't it aware that
many Republicans, not in Marion and
Monongalia counties only, but in all
the counties, are stalking around
swearing that they will not vote for
Dawson if he be nominated. and that
just as many are proclaiminS the same
thing in regard to Teter? Under
such circumstances, would it be wise
TO go into a campaign with either as
the standard bearer2 The West Vir-
ginian has thought and now thinks
that 1t would not be, hence has
favored the throwing overheard
policy, and we hope this will
be adopted by the coming State
convention. 1t would be bet
ter to throw overheard the two candi-
dates and all their active adherents
than to enter upon campaign with
either knowing that he would be
load to carry from start to finish. The
State convention Will be the mouth
piece of the Republican party and
whatever it does will be regarded by
the voters as having been the right
thing TO do. However, if it follow
the dictates of wisdom it will nom
mate a dark horse.

AS TO SLOT MACHINES.

After many weary years and nu
nervous decisions of varying shades
and colors the supreme court, with
outplayins them, has found out that
slot machines are gambling devices
within the meaning of the statute.
1t is we'll for the peace of the State
that at last We know that slot ma
chimes really are gambling devices,
though not many believed them to be
philanthropic institutions. More par
ticularly in this decision pleasing be-
cause it will set at rest the doubts
of numerous prosecuting attorneys
on the subject.
Aside from slot machines the de-
cisior clarifies the gambling statute
all around, and contradicts the
claims of gamblers attorneys that
the statute is inelastic and includes
only the games in enumerates. 1t
also forever silences that Huntington

Democratic Hopes.

Judging by the enthusiasm mani
tested "Wednesday by the Democrats
attending the meeting OF the State
committee at the Windsor the brerh-
rem are going to make the campaign
bit livelier than those of the past
eight years. Some of the enthusiasm
may be asc-ibed to the fact that GER
tain wealthy old-Iine Democrats have
returned TO the fold, and therefore
the prospects are that the campaign
will no longer have to be conducted
exclusively upon wind. All of which
is of course cheerful.
But aside from the happy financial
prospects the State Democracy is
really in an advantageous position.
Instead Oh having to fight out the tax
question within Its own ranks it can
sit comfortably by and profit by the
row in the Republican party. 1t has
already seen enough to recognize the
fact that no party can hope TO elect
a governor OF a Legislature which are
not for tax reform. The result wher-
ever the question has been submitted
TO popular vote prove that.
Now, il by any m!schance the Re
publicans should happen TO nominate
Mr. Teter. the Democracy Will come
forward with the rosiest reform plat
form ever drafted. and will take up
the fight where il was dropped in
the Republican party 1t Will be fair
weather for the Democracy. On the
other hand, if Mr.. Dawson is nomi-
mated the Democrats viii nominate
Henry G. Davis or. more probably, c.
Wood Daily, and enter the fight with
the claim that their man is as good
a tax reformer as the other fellow,
and be buoyed by the nope that the
Teter faction will knife the ticket.
In any event the Democrats are going
to be found upon the tax reform side
they are too wise to take any other
course
TO the independent citizen. who
cares more for the public welfare
than for partisan advantage, there
is comfort in the situation.-Wheel-

1T issa State of which every citizen
should be proud
No State is gaining faster in wealth
and population than West Virginia,
and this is because no State is de-
yeloping its resources so rapidly as
we are ours.
West Virginia has made its great
sestFadvaneement since it left the solid
South.
From that day and date there has
been constant flow of capital into
its domain.
1t was stated not long ago by Gov
ernor White that during the almost
eight years it has been under Repub
lican guidance its industrial develop
ment has been greater than in all its
previous history.
~ No one has ventured to contradict
: his statement. and no one can sac
cessfu1ly do SO.
Its progress has been a marvel to
Z its people, and no citizen would like
5 to see it slacken its pace.
There is hardly a probability that
: it viii so slacken unless it reunites
with the non-progressive, moss-back
section aforementioned.

cal reasons we want 70 see the State
