trouble Of scratching his ticket, and
without any apprehension that anyone
can say how he voted.
There will be but three names on
the ticket To vote for one of these
the other two must be marked out. 1t
will be exactly as easy to vote for the
other fellow as for your own. The
sharpest of election judges or poll
clerks, however he may scrutinize the
ticket in counting the vote, cannot
identify a mere mark. The most timid
voter may rest absolutely assured that
no one but himself can by any posi-
bility ever know the way in which he
has determined to cast his ballot.
Will the voter then take advantage
of this unexpected opportunity to
make himself felt on the tax question
If he does it will show that the limit
of the peoples patience has been
reached, and that there must be pull
up on the part of the State administra-
ton. If he does not, he will have only
himself to blame, and in the future
he must cease to complain of any evil
that he refused to try to check when
he had an opportunity.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-06-02
To Steal the Election.

Republican congressional commit
teemen have refused to agree to a
form of affidavit for the use of a voter
whose name does not appear on the
assessors list. At a joint conference
between the committeeman of both
parties held in Cumberland on Satur-
day, it was understood that the new
election law which provides for a reg
istration list will have to be observed
in conducting the special election OH
June 6, and it was conceded by Mr.
Lakin's managers that owing to the
short time the assessors had to make
up the list, there will necessarily be
many names Of voters to go unlisted
In view of this. and in the absence of
any affidavit provided by law, it was
necessary that some form should be
agreed upon by both political parties
to obviate the possibility of a large
number of votes being thrown out be-
cause of alleged defects in the form
of the affidavit that each unlisted voter
must make before his ballot can be
accepted by the officers of election
The refusal of the Republican man
ayers to agree to a form of affidavit
has only one meaning. Such action
can mean nothing except the intention
on the part of Mr. Lakin's friends to
ewbarrass Democratic voters in the
Republican counties where the regis
tration lists are made up by Republi-
can officials. In these counties the
names of Colonel Davis supporters
can be purposely left off the list. When
a Davis man in these counties wants
to vote. and his name is not on the
list, he must make affidavit as to his
qualifications. The form of this aft
davit is all in the air Nobody knows
how to prepare one to suit the cleo
ton officers. The vote is thrown out.
BY this scheme faithfully followed
there will be no trouble about making
Mr.. Lakin's majorities in those coun'
ties to suit the needs of the party
crooks. 1t resolves itself into ques
ton of finding out how many votes
are needed to elect But will honest
fair minded Republicans not hunting
for the pie counter countenance this
trickery? viii they support a man
who permits his henchInen to be par
| ties to a scneme to defraud honest
voters of their right to the ballot?
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-06-02

1t will be observed that the amount
for 1905, the present legislative year,
exceeds that of 1895, the last year that
appropriations were made to be sx-
pended under a Democratic admins
tration, by s921,030, or that the total
appropriations for the present year are
almost two and one-half times what
they we're ten years ago. 1t will also
be noted that the amount for the pres
ent year. when compared with 1903,
the next preceding legislative year,
does not show the decrease that was
to come from unloading a part of crimi-
nal and other charges on the counties.
1t is still about the same old figure.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-06-02
What Election Will Signify.

At the last election Governor Daw-
son ran some twenty-four thousand
votes behind the head of the national
ticket All intelligent men concede
that it was Roosevelt alone that pulled
him and the fake taX-reform through.
Had the people had the opportunity Of
passing upon the man and his tax
propositions in a non-presidential year,
they both would have been showed I'M
der too deep for future resurrection
Undoubtedly the difficulty of scratch
ing the ticket, the apprehension of hav-
ing it thrown out if improperly
scrached and the fear that the hand
writing would give the scratcher away
and injure his party standing deferred
great many Republican voters from
following their strong inclinations to
eliminate Dawson and fake tax-reform
from all future campaigns.
The lapse of few days will give
the voter of the Second congressional
district another opportunity for ex-
pressing his opinion. if not upon Daw-
son personally, at least upon the fake
tax-reform indirectly. Candidate La
kin is and has been an advocate OF
the fake tax-reform. He is peculiarly
close to Dawson and represents in his
nomination the triumph of the fake
tax-reform wing of his party. Such
significance as his election would have
in State affairs would be to encourage
the idea of more taxes, and discour-
age the idea of less expenditures.
The State significance of Colonel
Davis election would be just the re-
verse of all this. It would mean that
the voter cannot be tricked into be
same time increase expenditures and
reduce taxes, and that he refuses to
allow himself to be consoled for his
own heavy taxes by the assurance that
his neighbours will be still heavier.
The approaching election will offer
an opportunity for such scratching
/ that does not often occur under the
present ballot system. There will be
! but three names on the ticket. To
vote for one of these you will only
| have to mark out the other two. The
| sharpest of election judges or poll
clerks cannot identify a mark when
he is counting the vote. The most
tilnid voter may rely upon no one ex-
| cept himself knowing how he has
voted. and it will be exactly as easy
to vote for the other man as for your
own.
For these among other reasons the
results of this election will be oil
marked significance. 1t will show to
some extent what change there has
been on the tax question since the as
] SCISSOR has begun his rounds. II it did
NOT occur until the tax collector had
started after taxes, there would no,
be a shadow Of doubt as to the re
suit. AS it is. it is highly probable
that the advocates of the tax reform
will hear something drop
