Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1907-04-12

The Philadelphia record whose oe
mocracy cannot be questioned, is sui
barpipg on Southern Democrat as
candidate for the presidency. 1t re-
minds us that twice the South has
tried Bryan; that it has tried an East
ern candidate once, and that 1t mas
made three consecutive failures. 1t
rings a clear call for the South to as
sert the prerogative of leadership, and
stand or fall by the result. 1t says.
tNow let the South Lead Let II
name it's own candidate-some stall
wart Southern Demoerat-and call
upon the true Jefersonians OF the
North and the West to respond. That
is the logic of the political situation. "
Commenting on this the Montgom-
cry (Ala.) Advertiser argues that III
does begin to seem the extreme OF bal
politics to continue to strengthen the
feeling of sectionalism which still OBJ
tains to large degree in the North
that feeling as demonstrated in the
post-bellum history of the Democratic
party. In it's turn the Advertiser re-
minds us that since the close of the
war between the States the Democrats
have nominated nine presidential
tickets, and all Of them were from
north of Mason and DixOn's line. vi
all of these the party elected one, and
he was elected twice. This record, IN
the opinion of our Montgomery cotem-
porary, simply shows cringing and
yielding to the demands of our North
Elm. brethren, and it unites with the
Philadelphia Record in the conclusion
that it is time to try something else.

Money Distributed

Vast sums of money have been dis
tributed among the various counties,
districts and ,palities during the
past few days by the state treasurer on
warrants issued by the auditor. This
money was collected as taxes from the
railroads and other public service cor
porations and is distributed among the
political subdivisions according to the
amount of such property therein To-
Gated.
The total amount so far distributed
out of the state fund is 81, loo, ll9.9S.
There remains in the treasury to be dis
tributed something like 100000. Chief
Clerk Haddox, of the treasurer's office,
stated that the above named item ex-
ceeds about 100000, the record of any
previous year. The increase he says, is
due to the higher valuations on this
class of property.
Mcdowell county will receive the
largest amount, getting for county and
district purposes approximately S74,-
900. Other counties will receive the fol-
lowing amounts: Kanawha, SOL 900
Mingo, $49, 900; Cabell; $44 600; Wayne
S54 900, and Fayette $4,000. These
amounts are exclusive taxes due to
municipal corporations.
