The Times has been insinuattng
during the campaign that money was
used with the County Court to get
licenses at Monongah. 1t has now
gone so far as to say 1t knows how
and in what sums the money was d.
vided and how it was paid
The West Virginian now challenges
and dares the Times to state in plain
words what 1t inslnuates. If 1t knows
how much money was paid for licenses
at Monongah and how 1t was divided
1t also Knows who got 1t, If the edi'
tor of that paper isn't cowardly try
ing to stab some innocent person in
the back--to murder his good reputa-
tion-he will accept this challenge and
name the four whom 1t says got this
money. Silence or evasion will be
taken by the public as confession Of
attempted assassination Of the reputa-
ton of Republican county officials.

Never in the history OF the county has

been paraded before the people to In
fluence and prejudice the voters. IT

Daign telling lie after lie as to the
situation in this county, all the while
using that method of trying to stir
M personal strife in the, Republican
ranks. 1t later ran lot Of rot about
the personal property books and alleg'
ed crooked dealing concerning them.

attacks on Sheriff Furbee, Land Com
missioner Lehman. County Clerk ia.
cobs, Commissioner W. T. Cordray
Harry Shaw, the editor Of the West

has sent broad cast faIsehoOds for po'

fIammatory utterances he had to beg

all these things before us and the fake

any wonder that people have lost all

great outcry because a majority Of
the grand jury were Republicans and
some Of them had assistedtn holding
the primary. Very grave and sensa-

editorial in the Times. When the
grand Jury convened Judge Mason had
summoned, among Others the editors
of the Times to tell what they knew.
1t was found they didn't know any
thing about the frauds" they had
been writing about. Then one OF the
grand Jurors took from his pocket a
copy Of the Times In which was the
attack on the primary and jurymen,
and reading the editorial in full first

he said he had employed counsel and
he was advised by them that he need
not answer questions which would in
criminate himself. At the same time
he took occasion to express TO the jury
that he had the utmost confidence in

The FIVE brick houses being built

that persons wanting to rent a large
house could do so and still be near
the business center.

Fifteen of the houses are frame and

ed him s. declared he s therefore
opposed politically to equal taxation.
He would hardly be wise selection
to assist in administering the new
tax laws In this county.
2. He isa rich man, retired and liy.
ing on the interest or his money. His
personal interests would be opposed
to the enforcement Of the new tax
laws.
9. He was nominated and is being
supported by the Democratic Court
house ring, the record Of which is
the most corrupt Of any aggregation
of politicians in the State.
4. He was a member Of the court
for six years, having terminated his
term two years ago. during which six
years a debt was fastened upon the
taxpayers Of the county amounting TO
the enormous sum Of nearly 5000
10000 and for which the taxpayers got
absolutely nothing.
5. While he was member Of the
court every district in the county he
came indebted-the road surveyors
were permitted to use the county's
money for electioneering purposes.
G. In defiance of the will Of the vot.
ers Of the county who had voted
against bonds to build new court
house, the Democratic court tore down
the old Courthouse and proceeded to
unlawfully contract the building OF
the new one.
Z. They contracted the new Court
house for 100000 and claim they
paid $3OO,OOOOO, or $16s,OOOOO more
than the contractor agreed to do 1t
for. The people have never under
stood how this could be. Mr.. Downs
has been called upon to explain who
got the money, but no explanation has
been made. A responsible Fairmont
contractor offered to 90 the work for
four thousand dollars less than the
price at which the court contracted It,
s. A county order for 100000 was
issued by Mr.. Downs court and paid,
but the county got nothing in return
therefor.
Q. The Democratic court while Mr.
Downs was member erected buil%
ing on lot in the rear Of the Court
house on property owned by Charley
Manley and Sheriff Cunningham, and
paid $4,000 for It out Of the coun'
ty treasury. This was turned over to
the property owners free Of charge
10. He Is one Of the most trusted
members Of the Courthouse ring, ana
can always be depended upon to do
their bidding, especially in the way o.
counting out duly elected Republicans
in case there should ever be re

II. He is dominated by the hood
lers, election officer corrupters, ltaI
ian repeaters and ballot changers.

as ito Intimate that he believed Judge

ii the public press as those indulged
ID by the Times are calculated to in
lame the public mind against the
courts, no matter how Just and honor
able they may be. The local Demo-
cratic organ seems to have caught
something Of the Hearst idea, the
youthful figure head editor taking de-
light In being referred to by the
forces as Bill Hearst. The Hearst
papers are now being called severely
to account for melting the assassina-

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.

Two years ago 4,77G Marion county
voters supported Theodore Roosevelt
for President OF the United States.
His opponent, Judge Parker, received
only 3,7Gl votes, thereby showing that
Marion county believes In protection
and prosperity. There is no valid rea-
son why a single man who voted for
Theodore Roosevelt two years ago
should vote against VIM. P. Hubbard
tomorrow. Mr.. Hubbard stands for
every important principle and policy
advocated by President Roosevelt. He
is an honest man, strong man, lib
eral man. He can be trusted to do
great things for the people. Every
man on the Republican ticket in this
county is believer in and a follower
Of Theodore Roosevelt. They stand
for his policies, they believe in his
principles. Is there true RepubIi'
can or Roosevelt Democrat who can
not support the whole ticket? Thu
candidates for the Legislature will
vote for a Republican for the United
States Senate while the Democrats, II
elected, would vote for a political
trickster and peanut politician. John
T. McGraw, of Grafton. Do Republi'
cans or high minded Democrats want
John McGraw, the Knight of the Pur'
pie Pencil" to occupy the exalted po'
sition of United States Senator from

w. S. Raymond, VIM. B.. Ice and H.
H. Rose, or any one Of them, for
