gard for the truth. Go to the PROSE
cutting attorneyship. What can be
said against Will q. Norris for the
place. He has never held office of
moment. He is not in any manner
corrupt, but is honorable, upright
and loyal. Then there arethe nom
inees for tire House Of Delegates.
They are men Of their own mind,
men who are above reproach, men,
who will not do the bidding ofsany
one or set, men who will act indie
pendently, men who will be con-
scientions in the discharge Of Off
cial duties. Randall for county
commissioner is a man Of the peo-
pie and for the people. No obiec-
ton can be brought against him.
Thorn for the state senate, as every
one knows, stands high both as a
citizen and ms a churchman. and
nothing can be said al1olit him that
would be persuasive that he is not
the right man for the place. Such
= lnan is credit to any county.
When it comes to the judgeship.
everyman who knows c. W. Lynch
respects him and sincerely believes
that he would be man of Justice. a
man of fairness. a man of ability on

traits Of the candidates on the Re-
publican ticket, and You will be dis

The Democratic party may pirate
all it pleascs about the race question
but the fact remains that it can not
detract the public mind from the
vital issues Of the campaign. Every
citizen Of the state knows that the
race question is not of moment and
that there are issues that are of such
importance that the Democratic
party fears to touch them. West
Virginia is not to be fooled on the
negro question. Its people are too
sane and sensible to give need to
the deceptive argument advanced by
the Democratic politicians, who
have not the nerve and candor to go
before them on live and real issues.
There is nothing in this state to
alarm the white race. nothing to
prejudice them against the colored
race. Conditions are enlightened
here compared with the South and
none fear any danger from the color
ed people. There is none and every
fair-minded man knows it. Scheming
Democratic politicians know it, but
they have nothing with which to
appeal to the people and they have
adopted the race question as a bluff,
but it has been so severely called
that they would gladly take water
there, if they had any thing else to
make campaign on.

The Parkersburg Sentinel is not
pleased with Senator Harmer's voice
as the following comment shows:
'sThe reported overthrow of Har-
vev Harmer in Harrison county is
a pronounced gain to the legislators
with good hearing. His voice is
the most foghornish in execution
that ever ratified the windows Of the
capitol building, and it has been
said that on a clear dav he could be
heard from Poca to Maiden. His
roar is more voiceful than the trum-
peting Of an angered elephant, and
it is ever in working order. Evi-
IDENTITY his constituents have con-
cluded that there are other needed
qualifications in a legislator than a
capacious noise machine"

If there was going to be such a
big turn out of the people to vote
for Dawson in this county and Har-
mer was Dawson's candidate, why
did they not turn out enmasse and
vote for Harmer, after Dawson de-
cided that he was willing to take
half the delegates from this county !?
Answer this, or admit the foolish
ness of your assertions, you who
writes under nomdeplume and who
is doubtless a Democrat using a so
called Republican paper in attempts
to make trouble in the Republican
party.

The Democratic sheet openly says
that the only ring there is in this
county IS composed of the colored
people. Well, that may be but in
cidentally is there not another little
ring in the office in the court house
occupied by Democrats While
they are talking about court house
rings. they should not forget that
one the Democrats have. 1t is as
bad as any could be.

If the people of Harrison county
depend on the Democratic party to
put up decent election, they will be
very badly fooled. Democrats are
handy with money and booze and
they do not hesitate to use il either.
as their recent past shows. And
still the mouthpiece holds them up
to the people as models in morality
and principle. They do a great
deal Of bowling to cover up their
own iniquities, but their deception
and intrigue are widely known and

any such hypocritical stuff as they

Every Republican in Harrison
county who believes in Republican
principles and their predominanee
and who admires honest. upright
men will vote the ticket that was
nominated Thursday. There is not
a single man on L. who is not strong
in the Republican faith aud who is
not loyal to his party. There is not
n man on it whose character is sub
ject to reproqch There Is not a
man who will not conscientiouslv
do his duty. Hunt the state over
and you will not find better or fin
er or superior or more upright set
of men. They are men who viii
not let personal animosities govern
them and their official action. They
are men who are not disposed to
ruin the Republican party because
they can not he gratiticd in every
within. They are men who have
helped to fight Republican battles
and win victories for the party.
Now, why should any honest-think-
ing and fair-minded Republican be
against them, and why should there
be attempts to prejudice the voters
against them unless it be prompted
by those who desire Democratic
domination? The natural conclus-
ion is that all who engage in at
tempts to work up such prejudice
are either Democrats or are in CO.
fusion with the Democrats, and for
the welfare of the Republican party
it is the duty of every loyal Repub-
lican to repudiate them and their
doctrines, which are as poisonous
as the venom of Serpents and which
portrays their true character.

Parties who are posing as Repub-
licans and who had az much say at
the primary election for nominal
lions are now under nomdeplumes
making threats against the candi-
dates BY strongly intimating that
they are going to vote the Democrat
lc ticket this fall, and some of them
months ago openly stated that it was
their intention to try to elect a
Democratic sheriff this fall, and yet
these same fellows ask for recogni-
ton from the state and national or
CARNATIONS of the Republican party.
They went so far as to ask the state
committee to recognize a proposed
little organization of their own as
the regular organization of the party
in this county, but that committee
promptly turned them down with
the information that the Republic
can party in West Virginia does not
do business that way. These are
the fellows who have not the courage
to sign and publish their names to
articles they write against the party.
= AGcG arc lii ASllOWs WHO are uuueE
the absolute control of the Demo-
cratic politicians, who are seeking
control of the affairs Of the county
on the belief that there is great OPP
portunity for grating. So bent
are they on this that they actually
believe there is graft in it and they
want it badly. Such so called Re
pnblicans who are satisfied with
nothing else than continual bowling
and knocking have been training
with these Democratic politicians a
long time and it is high time that
the Republicans Of Harrison county
repudiate them by turning them
over body and soul to the Democratic
party. where they properly belong.

Carpenter and Harmer did not
get the vote. That is why they
were not nominated and not because
they advocated tax reform. The
successful candidates also advocated
that openly. 1t would be we'll for
some not to misreprescnt on this
score, as they can have the matter in
black and white. if they but take the
pains to look it up.

While the mouthing is harping
about Illegal voting and so forth. it
could very consistently along that
line arraign several Democratic poll
iticians and a Democratic office
holder or two in this city, as being
criminally liable in that respect, but
this is a matter it Intentionally over
lool-s for the sake of political effect,
which is favorite expression with
it.

The city fellows and one or two
from the country who have assum-
ed to dictate to the Democratic party
of the county are deceptive enough
through their mouthpiece to make
the impression that all the Demo-
Gratis are free to run for office. If
they would admit the truth, they
would tell the public they have their
little slate. just as they had when
they held that star-chamber meeting
and nominated candidates for city
Offices.

Dawson, it must be remembered,
was held up only week or so ago
by a certain element as one without
fault, but, when he acts for himself
and not to further their selfish and
designing schemes he is roundly de-
nounced. But Dawson is satisfied
and all the abuse they heap upon
him will not hurt him in the slight
est. Every one knows he is above
all such. They gave him all man
ner of soft soap and taffy. but he
knows them too well to be ensnared,
and besides why should they feel
sore at him. since it was some of
them who advised him to take half
the delegation of the county. 1t
is we'll known fact that they did
advise him to do so and no one
knows it any better than Mr.. Har-
mer, who told them so in words that
could not be misunderstood And
still they pretend to be great friends
and admirers of Mr.. Harmer. not
withstanding the charges he openly
made against them and the dirty
deal he says they gave him. The
Republican party of this county
should remember that this is the
sort of men these fellows are and
that they are not to be trusted and
con not he safely listened to. They
are i'll collision with the enemy and
are openly declaring that they In
tend to try TO elect n Democratic
sheriff this fall We defy them to
deny it. for we have the proof and
can produce it. Furthermore. our
authority is of the most credible sort
Republicans want to beware of them.

The Democratic paper has at last
arrived mt the stage where it ex-
presses some doubt about the negro
being disfrnnchised. Bv that it
apparently conceded that the Repub-
lican party and the Christian e!e-
ment of the Democratic party will
not stand for any attempt of those
to make them beasts Of the field.

The Democratic sheet wanting a
little ready cash is urging. even in
sisting that members of its party
shall announce themselves for office.
Some one ought to accommodate it.

The more the Democratic party
ISLANDERS the nominees Of the Repub-
lean party in this county the
stronger they become. They are
men Of honor, men of irreproachable
charucter-more than can be said
of some who are assaiilng them
and have the confidence and respect
Of many Democrats as well as all
the members of their own party.
Such a despicable, low, mean, con-
temptible course ON The part Of the
"moutling'' will drive men from its
own party to them. 1t is strongly
intimated that the "mouthing'' has
been engaged for this very purpose
and that it is trying to carry ont
the engagement to the best Of its
ability.

The Democratic mouthpiece I'M
dertakes to tell the people that there
are no factions in the Democratic
party. Shades of Ananias! The
editor Of that sheet must have for
gotten that he attended recent
Democratic convention here and
heard the accusations. inerimina-
tions and insinuations which were
made on that occasion by Demo-
crats toward and of Others.

The Democratic paper MARBLES
something about slate and claims
that it published the slate and now
il enters into TRADE because the
Republicans of Harrison county did
not nominate the slate ii had named.
Wonder if it wants to run the Re
publican party? That would be no
surprise. since it knows that it can
not run its own party or have any
weight with that party.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1904-05-13

The "mouthing" thinks it is do
ing its party good by its attempts
10 make the impression that the Re
publican party is in a demoralized
condition and all such rot. but the
fact Is it is merely lining up all
Republicans more strongly to stand
nv their principles and nominees.
Keep it up. if vou would do the
party service at the expense of your
own.

The colored man Is not as forget
full as the mouthpiece of the des-
perate Democratic schemers would
have one believe. They have not
forgotten that the Republican party
gave them their freedom. nor have
they forgotten the movement among

get them back into bondage.

In the selection of candidates for
county office the Republicans of
Harrison county determined to put
men before the people, who not only
represent the party but also stand
for the countv's best good. They
are men who have not held office
lately. some of them never. in fact,
most of them have never been in of
fee They have not been actively
identified with politics except to
support and he. loyal to the party,
TO which they belong and IN which
they believe. They are men who
can be depended upon to act indie
pendently for the best interests Of
the county, regardless Of politics.
They are men who deserve not only
the support of the party itself. and
this includes all who profess 10 be
Republicans, but also appeal strong

PERILS OF LAND AND SEA.
Captain WiIInef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What to Do in Time
of Trouble,

For many years, Captain Willnef, say 8
the Times of Gloucester. Mass, was one
of the best known seamen in the Glou-
cester Fleet. The catarrhal troubles
with which he suffered for fifteen years
made him dread the nights at sea, be-
ing unable to lie down and sleep on &C.
count of the constant catarrhal drop
ping.
Captain Willnef went 10 two different
hospitals for tratment, but could get no
lasting benefit. He constantly raised
yellow and green phlegm and his trout So
le became SO unbearable and nauseating
that he was ashamed TO go out In COM
pany. When desparing Of ever getting
relief, his wife purchased a Hyomei
outfit for him, and trying it before go
ing to bed, he enjoyed the first whole
nights sleep for ten years. Captain
WiIInef says ''I have used less than two
bottles of Hyomei and have been cured
by the remedy.

makes lasting and permanent curee, J,
