The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1906-11-08
4 CORRECTION


In the Mondays issue of the Tese-
gram there was a comment upon the
sermon preached by Rev. S. K. Ar
buthnot at the Golf Chapel on Sum
day night. Any person who was
present at the services and heard
Rev. Arbufhnot, and then read the
MONDAYS article can easily see that
the Telegram did not mistake Rev
Arbuthnot in any word or sentence
except in the last sentence, hereaf-
ter referred 10, for Rev. Arbuthnot
laid down the boad principles of
right. justice and truth. and as the
Telegram stated on Monday, Ills
main thought was TO vote for the
best men,. and the Telegram says.
eFor Congress, Mr.. Hubbard is the
best man, because he Is clean. cap
able and has brought great relief to
the people In lowering their taxes.
that is the conclusion reached By
the telegram. but Rev. Arbuthnot
did not mention the name of Mr..
Hubbard, nor did he mention the
name Of a single candidate that was
voted for at the election on Tues
day, and this article is written ex-
pressly for the purpose Of calling
the attention of the men who sign
ed the letter written to the editor of
the Telegram on Nov. 9th, and
printed in both the Telegram and
Daily News In which they say, at
IS true he named all of the local
candidates, and after so naming
them he declared it TO be the duty
of every voter to make his own Sc
lection from the men presented for
the different positions" etc.
Now, We ask in justice to Rev.
Arbuthnot and the writer Of the
first article that these men, and all
others who were present at the
church, call to mind so far as they
can the sermon that Rev. Arbuthnot
preached, and We boldly say and be-
lieEe that it can be proven by al
most every person present that ReU.
Arbaithnot did not name the name of
a single local candidate (as the let
ter Of Nov. 9th declares) but that
he merely mentioned some Of the
local Offices to be filed, for instance.
he said, that Constable and Justice
of the Peace were to be elected, and
that the nearest to US, perhaps, was
the office of school commissioner.
and then named the other Offices TO
be filed, but we are positive that he
did not name, as above stated, the
name of:a single candidate. But,
it is true that Rev. Arbuthnot de-
cIared as;in the said letter Of Nov.
9Th, thatIit6s the duty of every vot-
er 70 make his own selections from
the men presented for different posi-
tons for which they are seeking to
be elected.
And | blieve that when fhe men
who have signed the letter Of the
9Th reconsider the matter. that they
viii retract what they said with. ref
erence to it being true that Rev.
Arbuthnot named all of the local
candidates. and will, with the writer
say that he simply named the offices
and not the men running for Office.
And now. in concluding, Rev. Ar
buthnot did laud and praise the
President of the United States for
his courageous stand in advocating
the principles which he stands for.
and thanked God that this country
had such a man as he in the Presi-
dental chair. he also lauded the
great era of prosperity which the
State and Nation are now enjoying.
but he did not adrise ana member Of
his congregation to continue The

the duty of every coter to, in all
cases, sote for the best men. irTes-
