West Virginia wants rate rcgula-
ton of nature that guarantees a
square-deal to every man who de-
sires to engage in business in the
State. Whether is be mining or
manufacturing the business mustnot
be at the mercy Of any common car
rier. The only reason assigned by
manufacturers when asked to come
TO West Virginia where they may
have cheap and abundant fuel is the
fact that they are afraid of Trans
portation conditions. The time has
come when these conditions must be
in harmony with the necessities Of
trade and commerce.

perish for the little gang 10 try to
make the public believe that Charles
&. Coffman would permit his admin
istration Of the affairs of his home
city to be tainted with any sort Of
extravaganza or graft. As a Young
man whose life has been clean and
honorable and whose future is in the
hands of the public, what would be
the inducement for him TO prove
false 10 this trust or blight his flu
ture by acts Of perlidy? Such pre-
sumption is absolutely untenable.

No one, so far as we know. needs
these alleged fraudulent foreign
voters unless it is the little gang Of
slanderers. The Coffman ticket has
the confidence of the public and it
viii receive all the votes it needs
from substantial class of citizens
who have been voting here for years.
The voters of CIarksburg are in

not be driven from their safe anchor-
age in the harbor of progress and

How long will the same pecvish,
whining, stale, old appellatlons be
inflicted upon a mearied and dis
gusted public? We allude to the lit
tie gang that still babbles about
fraudulent voting, corrupt prac-
tees and ring candidates. They
used the same epithets against Sem
ator Thorn in 1904. Prosecuting
ATTORNEY Morris was assailed in the
same way. In Judge Lynch'S case
they thought their newspaper hadn't
sufficient circulation to make their
abuse effective, so they sent man
out over the county to deal out cam
paign venom from house to house.
1t was all in vain. The verdict of
an honest but enraged public ans
wered by a vote that overwhelmed
them. These men are today serving
the people honestly. fearlessly and
faithfully. The cause now before
the people Of Clarksburg will be de-
cided upon its merits. The people
were not fooled two years ago and
they will not be this year. They
know that the Coffman ticket means
good government and economic and
practical business methods. It also
means prosperous conditions and M
dustrial advancement.
