| tive city and home. We are not
built that way. We are right
here working for Sistersville sew
en- days in the week. An indie
pendent school here is worth un-
told millions, not only to our
home city and district, but to the
whole county; yet, because we
| don't vote for certain men for of
/ flee we must hold our peace and
llet man be elected to an Office
that is openly pledged to vote
against our interests. It's not a
question of politics, but self-pro-
lection. IF Hill is SO fair and un-
prejudiced, it won't hurt him any
| to say so now. We have tried
him and he was a failure-a dark,
dismal, miserable, fiat fiasco. Why
waste any more time in sending
such monkeys to the Legislature !?
| No wonder our county stands SO
low in the political calendar. It's
a wonder we are left on the map.
Gregory did more for our coun-
ty during the last Legislature
than all the other representa-
tives did for years past combined.
He can talk, has ideas, fights for
his whole county, is not a mummy
or know-nothing, and can bring
our county into prominence.
The third editor to cast his cas-
tor into the ring is Bro. Smith.
of the Wetzel Republican, the
best newspaper published in New
'Martinsville. In substance, the
Republican editor says "The Re,
view favors Gregory because
Gregory favors Sistersville and
Hill does not" The editor calls
this "childish." The facts are,
Bro. Smith opposes Gregory be.
cause Gregory favored taking off
a part of Wetzel county to form
new county to be known as
Augusta county. In other words,
Smith opposes Gregory Tor the
same reason we oppose Hill. l e.:
Because Gregory voted against
the interests of New Martinsville
and Wetzel county, and we OPP
pose Hill because he has always
worked against Sistersville and
the river districts. Such reason
is sufficient for Smith. but not for
us. We must vote for a man who
has always been fighting against
our city, but Smith threatens to
bolt if a candidate who voted
against New Martinsville is nomi-
mated. The Republican editor is
doing exactly what he ought to
do. but he ought to be willing to
grant us the same privilege. The
Republican further says: I'm
conversation with a well-known
Republican of Tyler county some
days ago. we were Informed that
the opinion obtains in that county
that Mr.. Gregory will receive a
ma jority of the votes at the prl-
mary election on the 25th, and
will be entitled to select his del
egates to the Senatorial conven-
ton at Moundsville June 10. The
gentleman is surely mistaken"
The gentleman is not mistaken.
Gregory will carry this county by
an overwhelming majority, and
he ought to do so. There is no
mistake about this whatever.
From all parts of the county
even from Middlebourne-men
well posted on the situation say
Middlebourne will cast a big vote
for Gregory. not because they
love him, but because they
know Hill is not competent to fill
the office, and even Republicans
are getting very weary Of electlng
nonentities to the Senate from this
county. You might as well get
into line, Bro. Smith, and follow
the crowd. Gregory will 60 out
of Lincoln district with a major
itv of 500. He will carry every
district in the county. Then turn
him down if you dare do it. sim

around by the nose by few men.
