MOORE AND MORALS.

4 great deal has been said by the
alleged reformers this campaign
about Cain street. They say all these
things too in face of the fact that
they have for their nominee. one
James H. Moore, who rode the coun-
ty over saying venomous and I'M
founded things about Judge Charles
W. Lynch with the hope and the pur-
pose of defeating him for the office
of Judge, Moore did every thing in
his power to defeat Judge Lynch for
the position he now holds. Yet this
man Moore Is posing as reformer
and running on a ticket that is call
ed a reform ticket. Some OF the
ministers of the gospel are laboring
under delusion and are supporting
him. Every one ought to know that
Moore wanted to defeat Judge Lynch
with an opposition candidate, of
whom it is needless to say any thing
about just now, but whom every
one knows.
Some of the alleged retormers
profess to be very much pleased
with Judge 1ynchs course, and ye,
these same fellows must know that
Moore. candidate for chief Of police
on the reform ticket. opposed the
election of Judge Lynch to the bitter
end. It is not amiss here to direct
attention to the fact that Judge
Lynch and Prosecuting Attorney viii
.. Morris did tenfold more to clean
mp Cain street that ever Harmer did.
Heavy jail sentence after heavy jail
sentence took place in Judge Lynch's
court. This can not be said Of Har-
mer's court.
Yet James H. Moore, candidate on
the reform ticket, most bitterly
fought Judge Lynch in the cam
paign for election 10 the circuit court
bench. He termed him the high
priest Of what he choose to call the
''ring." There is no reason why
Moore should not be judged by his
recent record. Less than two years
and a half ago Moore fought the
election of Judge Lynch, who has

Police ENonernted.

Mayor Harvey w Harmer him
self stamps falsity on the accusations
made by his mouthpiece against the
police, charging them with failure to
do their duty. Not long ago Mr..
Harmer said at session of the
council:
1.-THE police are all right. They
are doing their duty"
Mr.. Hammer made such a state
ment and win not deny it. If he
does deny 1t, the Telegram is ready
to furnish the proof that he did thus
eXonerate and uphold the police.
This exposes the double-dealing
he and his mouthpiece are trying to
work on the people in this campaign.
He is thus shown to be anything but
sincere in his present pretense to-
ward better city government. He
must take the responsibility himself
and cannot shift it on the police,

Harrner and GambIlng.

Harmer's mouthpiece complains
that gamblers have come to the city.
The Telegram openly charges Mayor
Harmer with permitting gambling to
go on all during his administration,
without restraint. Mayor Harmer
admitted this fact in his Thanksgiv-
ing address last fall. He declared
on that occasion that the gamblers
are here but with their doors guard
ed"
With but a single instance, when
he was prompted by hatred and 1t is
claimed by desire to promote the
interests of an adjoining gambling
hole, he made spectacular pretense
at punishment. That is as far, how
ever, as he has gone. The fact that
he tries to shield himself by charg-
ing that he has not the cooperation
of the police is but a confession of
his official impotency and lncapa-
hility. Men of courage in the office
of mayor, men who want to keep
their pledges. would soon devise ways
10 carry out the laws of the city.
A mayor has the power to appoint
as many special policemen as he
deems best. and, If he thought the
police would not help him to raid the
gambling places here that have been
in operation the past several months,
he could easily have sworn in as
many special policemen as he need
ed to successfully raid these places,
capture the inmates and land them
behind the bars. The Telegram sug-
gests his idle supporters and the loaf
ers he has around him as the ones to
help him bring about this achieve
ment.
But, Mayor Harmer has shown by
his official acts IN reference TO the
existence Of gambling, other crime
and vice in this ely that he is indif-
terent. Indeed, many are inclined
to the belief that he is in collision
with some Of the gamblers and vice
dispensers and is at the same time
trying to work the church people.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-25

filled the ofice Of Judge In a fair.
just and high-plnded manner. When
he did 1t he opposed the principles
Judge Lynch stands for. for the rea-
son that Judge Lynch Is the same in
principle today he has been all his
life. There is but one thing to in
Ter from this and that is that Moore
does not stand for the same social
and civic principles Judge Lynch
does and really has no right to ask
the people OF clarisburg for their
suffrage on reform ticket.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-25

Indeed 1t is downright pity that
you are so yiciously bad. dear citi-
zen. But never mind. Harvey w
Harmer has found out your. despic-
able meanness and he is going to re-
form you. He is going to make a
nice respectable citizen out of you
when he gets what he wants. He
intended to reform You last year but
he decided that he needed the office
of mayor this coming year and he
deferred the matter so he could have
some campaign thunder. You see.
II he had reformed" you last year
he thought he wouldn't have any
thing to do this coming year. Cheer
up. citizens. you will be saved. ac-
cording to the Harmer slogan.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-25

Now, that the Harmer administra-
ton has sold the team of horses that
was used on the city street work, 1t
is likely that the fire department
horses will be sent out to do that
work thus leaving the whole city IN
protected from the awful dangers
and consequences of a terrible con
Migration for hours at stretch. Re
publican administrations. provided a
fire department with horses to pull
the fire wagon and kept it ready for
service at all hours of the day and
night, 1t looks now as if the Har-
mer administration, brazenly. and
perniciously invites a calamity for
the people Of Clarksburg who pay
taxes for fire protection.
