When Gov. Dawson comes to
Kingwood to hold his next "spon-
taneous mass meeting" to boom
Charley Swisher he will be called
upon by the Republicans Of Pres
ton to explain why he considers
Swisher "a lesser evil" than Ar

the White "spontaneity" he told
Elkins he would not stand for

THE Machines Way.

hc hSsoclatcd IrcsSulSpatcheS
from Washington tell of another
secret conference which was held
there by Senator Elkins, Gov.
Dawson, and gang of federal
office holders in the interest of
Charles w. Swisher for governor.
And strange to say, there are a
few well meaning people who suf-
fer periodically from cold feet who
tell us we should let up on the
political machine.
Here is a set of public office
holders who travel many miles
beyond the boundary of their state
to select candidates for the various
state offices and expect their party
a year hence to ratify their selec-
tons when it meets in convention
to nominate a state ticket. This
has been going on for years until
today the RINK and file of the
party have nomore say as to whom
the party shall nominate than
those who are identified with the
other political parties. Can you
deny this, Republicans of Preston?
Who is to blame for this state
of affairs? The political machine?
No. 1t has no power beyond. that
which you give it. Who, then, is
to blame? Why, the great army
of Republicans who quietly sub
NIT to such one-man power.@ If
the rank and file will get together
and attend the primaries they can
elect delegates to the various con-
ventions who Will represent the
wishes of the rank and file when
it comes to nominating candidates
for public offices.
You can never beat the machine
as long as it is allowed to hold
Spontaneous mass meetings" and
print it broadcast that the people
are loudly clamoring; yes, actual
ly gone stark mad, in demanding
that the office-holders stand for re-
election, unless you assert your
manhood and denounce such
bogus reports. Here is where the
organs-the newspapers owned
and controlled by the ofiice-hold-
ing trust-deceive the rank and
file of their party by proclaiming
that they (the rank and file) want
the Whites, the Dawsons, and the
Swishers to continue indefinitely
in public Office, when the fact is
the Spontaneous mass meetings
are held behind bolted doors and
no one admitted except those who
worship at the shrine of the ma
chine. The reports are written
up by the henchmen and sent to
the organs.
Is it not about4ime the Repub-
licans of Preston change this meth
cd of nominating their ticket?
They can do it if they will go to
the primaries and vote for the can
didates the Preston County Jour
nal condemns in scathing terms.
No one knows this better than the
Journal and the local ring. In
fact, in many parts of the county
theyare extending the olive branch
and suing for peace. They know
they are beaten ifthe anti.machine
Republicans will stand firmly to-
gether. The time is not far off
when they will be called upon to
line up for or against the machine.
Which shall it be?
