The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1904-06-13


not men who would give him political
support for the simple reason that his
politics are antagonistie to theirs and
never can be like theirs unless they sub
scribe 70 his. as he is not man who
permits himself to change base without
good reasons for such action, and a.
they could not provide good reason.
they are not even thinking of attempts
ing 70 get him to subseribe 70 their doc
tfines, principles and practices.
Not having such Objects in view.
there Is but one conclusion and 1t is,as
plain as the noe on mans face. and
that CONCLUSION Is as stated in the be-
ginning of this article that they want
10 get him dissatisfied 10 the extent Of
taking vengeance on tie party that ha.
given hini,alI the political bonors he has
ever had and-they have bern several, BY
assisting in defeating the party this
4 year. There is no other object, what
ever And in this connection It il not
amiss.to call attention again to the way
some Of his protested friends treated
him, when Dawson entered into an
agreement here to accept half the dele
gates from this county and keep his
name of the ticket. Mr. Harmer was
bitterly opposed to this because he
thought il weakened ms campaign, but
the fellows who are now trying to pre-
JUDGE the people against the Republican
nominees. because Harmer did NOT carry
the county, we're instrumental in having
Dawson not go on the ticket in this
county. They advised Mr.. Dawson to
take the delegates and keep his name
of the ticket. notwithstanding the pro.
test by Hammer at the time. And from
that time until the primary election
some of those men worked against Har.
mer's nomination and voted against MIN
at the polls, or-at least that is what
they claimed they did, Now, these
same fellows along with tine Democratic
clique win whom they are in collision
to turn the. county over to this Demo
cratic clique are busiest in advising Har.
inep and his friends not to support the
Republican nominees. They go so far
a, 10 ask Mr.. Hammer to come out in
open rebellion now, notwithstanding The
fact that the senatorial nomination has
not been made They want aim to work
against the party, from whom he is nov
asking nomination. They want Thu
done just because Harrison county did
not 90 his way and in this they intcn.
tionally overlook the fact that the Other
two counties are largely aud possibly
altogether his. In other words, theil
idea i that he must desert the countie.
that stood by him simply because hi.
home county failed to give him more
votes than it gave his opponent They
want him to knife not only the county
but the district as well. They want
him to revolt against the counties thai
have elected him to office. The. propo.
sition certainly-is as repulsiye and alb
surd 10 Mr.. Harmer as it appears to the
Telegram.
| The persons who are thus engaged
expect to turn the comfy and perhap.
,he district over to the Democrats by
working Harmer, but there Is no reason
to believe he will stand for any such
attempt. Congressman Dovener is Har,
mer's friend and fIarmer his. They
are very close. But that little crowd
seems to have overlooked this fact, an
BY the way they are lighting DovcncI
tooth and toe nail, and, when they. dc
this, they must know that they are
trampling on Mr.. Harmer's toes. Hc
will not enter into any combination to
defeat Doyener nor will he lend his
name, reputation and efforts to auy
thing that risks the losing Of votes in
this county by Doyener. or will he as
sist in any elieme to make the legisla.
ture Democratic 50 as the election 81 /,
Democrat 10 the United States senate
will follow.
The Telegram believes it knows Mr.,
Harmer sufficiently well to make the
assertion that these Democratic schen.
ers and Democratic sympathizers mis-
take their man, whey they make such
approaches 70 Senator Harmcr, whose
honor and integrity are pnquestioned.
