The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-19

The Harmer mouthpiece in its de-
ception-the kind that has character
lied the Harmer administration all
the year-now tries 10 make 1t APP
pear that there is no real under
standing between him and some OF
the saloons, and then IT proceeds
with bit of fiction to quote some
saloon keeper. It wants to make
the impression that Harmer is not
easy on the saloon keepers and at
the same time they are thankful for
his act in keeping hands on. The
argument advanced is so ridiculous
that it even has no humor in it. 1t
is mere rambling of mind that
gives evidence Of circular insanity.
which has been defined as wheels in
the head.

The Evening Stop Bucket says the
reason Harvey w. Harmer made a
deficit in the judiciary department Of
the city government while he was
mayor and failed to keep his prom
Ises to turn it into mint, is because
the moon is made of green cheese.
Nevertheless, the city records show
that Mr.. Harmer has created a de-
felt in the judiciary department
while he has been mayor of the city
and that Lafayette c. Grille made a
net surplus of nearly four thousand
dollars for the year when he termin-
ated his tenure of Office as mayor.
1t doesn't take long for even the
most obtuse to find out which kind
of management is better for the city.

A prominent resident of the city
said that he voted for Harmer last
year because the people who were
sailing under the name of reform
had told him that four hundred
thousands of dollars of taxes were
collected the year before that had
not been recorded on the city's books.
He thought they had some founda-
tion for their assertions but when the
year wore on and there wasn't any
expose of these alleged tax collec-
tions he saw that he had been hood
winked into supporting the Demo-
cratic party. Now he declares he
shall vote for the party he honors
and has faith in, and the one that
keeps its promises.

When the Evening slop Bucket
runs up against a snag in the shape
of an argument that it cannot ans
wer without confessing to the truth
of certain things about Harmer's adj
ministration it attempts to evade the
question by arguing to another point.
Unknowingly it employs a material
fallacy, that known by logicans as
the irrelevant conclusion, technically
called the ignoratio elenchi, or, lit
orally, ignorance of the refutation.
This consists in arguing to the wrong
point, or proving one thing in such
manner that it is supposed to be
something else that is proved. 1t is
one of the great resources of those
who try to support weak case.

To re-elect Mayor Harmer means
the same old mugwump way of pre-
tending to be clean. 1t means more.
1t means the same signal failure at
reform that is taking place right
now. The women are here and have
been here several months. There
are gambling places in the city, ac-
cording to the general understanding,
that never did close up under his adj
ministration. He also pledged him
self to enforce the laws of the city.
He has not done it. else why should
the grand iury's attention be called
to so many Sunday DRINKS on the
streets? This is but a single line of
his failure to enforce the laws. Har-
mer also declared in his speech last
spring that there was graft in the
city council and government. He
bawled that he would find it. Has
he? No. Why? Let him answer.
The truth is he got his eyes open af-
ter he went into Office and familiar
lied himself with the workings of
council, and he knows things are
done on the square there. If not,
why has he made no protest? 1t is
up to him to issue public statement
retracting the reflection he made on
the city council and the handling of
public funds. And, If he does not
make such retraction it is up to him
to explain why he has not "unearth-
ed the steal" as he said he would.

Telegram as an advertising medium

two morals to draw from this Incl

this instance in so short time.

Despite Harvey Harmer's loud and
boisterious promises to tear things
to pieces and make a city house,
cleaning, Baltimore street continues
to exude its foul and noxious snuvia
into the air that thousands Of citi-
zens have TO breathe every day. He
has not himself attempted to do so
much as throw a shoyelful of dirt
into this mephitic, disease breeding
pool. Empty promises. may gain
credence once but when they are
found to be nothing but bubbles they
will be so regarded.

al principle applies. and the outcome
Of this case shows what high-handed
injustice was attempted. TO him.
But, the Telegram does not stop
at this in its just criticism OF Mr..
Harmer. He was found in the cir
cult court still prosecuting and try
ing to prosecute Joe Gallo. Not
satisfied with being trial Judge, he
becomes prosecutor. He may have
the techinal right but that does not
make his action Just or right. Did
any one ever hear of Judge Goff's
going before the United States SUI
preme court and trying to persuade
that court to uphold his decision in
a case? Did he ever after sentenc-
ing man to prison go to the higher
court to prosecute him ON the charge
he had tried him on? Do Judge
Lynch and the other circuit judges
of this State proceed to take their
.gripsack in hand and hustle of to
Charleston or some other place where
the supreme court of the State sits
and try there to prosecute further
the man they have already fined and
sentenced? Do they go to the high
er courts to uphold the decisions that
are made by them? The answer is,
they do not. Indeed. they would not
even think Of such a proceeding;
they are too highminded for that
and too anxious that justice shall be
done. They are not like Harmer;
they have no desire to have higher
courts sustain sentences and decis-
ions, unless they are right, and they
have that respect for and confidence
in these higher courts that should be
given them. Not so with Harmer-
Judge Harmer, IL you please! He
would like to have been the circuit
Judge in Gallo's case that he might
sustain the action he took in police
court and see to 1t that Gallo landed
behind the bars, notwithstanding the
fact that twelve honest men, sworn
to do their duty saw nothing in the
evidence to justify Harmer's verdict.
Prejudice and not evidence, the de-
sire to persecute and not to mete
out justice, 1t is shown by the out
come of this case. were responsible
for Gallo's conviction in Harmer's
court This is the sum and sub
stance of 1T. the plain truth, and
there are no two ways about 1T.

No better recommendation for the
Republican party and its candidates
could be wanted than the result OF
the Harvey Harmer administration.
He said that when he got into office
he would show up to the people all
kinds of alleged graft and corrup.
ton that had been going on but NOT
since he has been in office has he
found a penny's worth of graft OF
corruption of Republican administra.
ton, or If he has, he- has failed to
say word of it to anybody, viii

cover graft during the coming year
If he is elected mayor?

When Harmer went into the ONCE
he was so hungry for last spring the
people whom he had made so many
rosy promises to waited for some
thing to drop. They have been
waiting with their ears strained ever
since but have failed to hear any
duh thud. But all the time Harvey
has been drawing his salary as mayor
and adding to his self made glory.
What cared he for any dull thuds
SO long as he had gotten what he
wanted?

Harmer's injustice to Man.

1t is traditional that the theory of
the law is that ut is better that one
hundred guilty men escape than one
innocent man should suffer" Judges
from time immemorial have handed
this principle down to the people.
Lawyers everywhere refer to it re-
peatedly. 1t has been an accepted
truth for many generations. And
yet in this modern day of Christian
civilization, the city of Clarksburg
has had within the past several
months several demonstrations of the
fact that there are few who do not
adhere to that principle, SO well-set-
tied in the administering of justice.
The Telegram need not at this time
refer TO more than the very latest
instance, and, in this case it is Joe
Gallo, foreigner not SO very well
acquainted with the laws of our
land, though ignorance does not ex-
cuse, but who before court Of JUS
tice and mercy, and not one govern
ed by prejudice and self-importance,
would be given square deal though
he be foreigner.
Gallo was Monday afternoon
acquitted by twelve honest men
citizens of Harrison county, sworn to
do their duty, as was the trial judge
from whom Gallo appealed.
Mayor Harmer in his persecution
of men convicted him and imposed
sentence. The jury of twelve men
acquitted him on the charge. They
did not see in such evidence as was
offered any reason to believe him
guilty. They stated that there was
no evidence to convict. Yet had he
not appealed to the circuit court,
but simply submitted to the mayor,
he would have had to serve time and
pay a fine He appealed to the cir
cult court for justice and got It. He
also was freed from paying fine and
serving time.
Certainly. in his case the. tradition

Mr. Harmer did not break up the
slot machine business. Nor did it
happen under his administration.
Every one knows that and it is pure
ignorance to intimate that Harmer
did break 1t up, The only thing he
did along this line was for months
and months to let go without re-
straint sort of slot-machine device
that paid checks for drinks and
cigars. Not until 1t was put up to
him face to face in his own court did
he try to break it up and he may not
be surprised, If he now finds them
all not broken up.

The Harmer mouthpiece in order
to deceive the people Intentionally
overlooked the quiet" convention in
Captain John Cofrman's Office, where
the select few gathered together and
nominated Harmer and his ticket,
without the knowledge of the voters
in general. But the Telegram let
the public know what the slate was
as fixed that night. 1t also let the
people know the ticket had been
nominated. 1t got It's information
from the headwaters Of the Harmer
crowd. 1t told the plain facts about
It. The News did not even intimate
that such a meeting had been held
and the ticket nominated. It waited
two or three or four days and then
came out under headlines that petit
lions we're out asking Harmer to
run. That was another step taken
to deceive the people. 1t is yet
unwilling to admit that the few
gathered together that night in a
sort Of star-chamber affair framed
up what they would later say the
people did by petition. Mr.. Har-

What manner of. man is. it that
says Harmer does not want to be in
office? Study his history. Since
when did he not bob up for Office?
How about his begging men in alleys
and dark corners to vote Tor him just
this once? oh, no, Harmer does
not want to be mayor any more, but
no one knows it as yet, and the man
who says he does not hunger for Of

If our memory does not fail us we
are in position to state that the re-
form members of council voted for
some of the policemen. Some got ten
votes in council, and as there are
but ten members of council, the fig
ures show the falsity of the asser-
ton made by Harmer's paper. He
ought to insist that that paper con-
fine itself to the the truth.
