schcrr,s Citizenship.

The Tntelligencer makes much ado
over the report that Arnold scherr IL
said not to be a naturalized Ameri.
can citizen, and seeks to make polit.
zeal capital out of It helpful to the
Grant party's cause. The fact is now
very generally accepted, since Scherr
has not disproved the charge salts.
factorily, that he is not naturallzed
and that he has no right either to
run or to hold office. II he Is not
an American citizen every act he has
committed as a public Official is Il.
legal and invalid.
The Republican state committee
has never charged this against
Scherr, because 1t is hardly OF much
importance to that organization in
its courageous fight to prevent the
Republican party from being turned
out of power in West Virginia. But
there are hundreds of people in the
state who would like very much to
know whether scherr is an American
citizen or is still citizen OF Switzer-
land.
Let him prove tit is up to him.
If he is naturalized, let him produce
the papers. Let the public have the
documents in evidence. They have d
right to know. Let Scherr and his
hackers come up with the documents.

One would not take Louis Bennett
for a humorist. To look at his un-
emotional countenance and gaze into
his cold, steely eyes, and glance ut
his smileless mouth ne would be the
last man one would suspect of being
capable of perpetrating a joke. Yet,
Louis has bent and done it, or words
to that effect He has contributed
the first bit Of gayety to a dog-days
campaign that has been ominously
serious by filing an account of hds
expenses in securing the Democratic
nomination for governor. He says
it totals $5S7.36, and swears to it.
How Louis was able to make up
the table of figures for laughing is a
miracle. We bet when George Neal
read it, he rolled over and kicked NJ
his heels. George has strain OF
the ould sod In him and he appre.
oiates a joke. We would like tC
have seen what old Col. George Tay-
Tor, Of the Ruffner hotel, and L. f

when they read the bill of expense
in the Charleston papers. Bet they
were convulsed.

Raises n Smile.

The Democratic party claims that
it handed over the government Of
West virginia free OF debt. This IL
one Of the pleasantries Of the party
that always raises a smile among the
knowing ones. 1t is true it left no
debt, as the constitution forbids the
state to contract debt, but it did
leave 4 lot of deficiencies in depart
ments that the Republican party,
when It got into power, FASTENED to
provide for. It not only provided for
these deficiencies. but raised the
credit Of the state, attracted capital
to the state, encouraged its develop
ment and brought It up to prosperous
conditions. And all this without
borrowing a cent from the irreduclble
school fund. which the Democracy
had almost depleted

A Silly Cnnnrd.

"a dispatch sent out from Parkers-
burg from the Democratic state com
mittee headquarters, contains =
weird and fantastic falsehood to the
effect that the planks on the Negro
question and the one indorsing the
two senators. the congressman, and
conforming the district electors were
not passed in convention, but were
overlooked there and subsequently
added by the state committee. There
is not particle of truth in the story.
The Negro plank was written by
Editor Gilmore. of the Charleston Ad-
vocate, a newspaper published for
colored people. was submitted by him
to the committee on resolutions, APP
proved by the committee, and sub
mitted to and passed by the conven-
ton. The other plank in question
was offered on the floor of the con-
vention by Ex-Governor A. B. White
and passed by the delegates. This
disposes of the Democratic story as
a silly absurdity.

The Agricultural interests.

In years gone by the Democratic
party in this state posed as the orig
inal and only friend of the poor, down
trodden farmer. For many years the
tillers of the soil in this state believed
this until their eyes were opened by
the Republicans, who initiated and
passed the new tax laws which equal
ICED the burdens o fine tax payers.
If any one thing more than another
has worked to the betterment of the
condition OF the agricultural class 1t
has been the lcveling OF the taxable
obligations as worked out through
the tax reform laws now on the stat
ute books.
When we come to the subject OF ag-
riculture in the two state platforms
we find that the Republican party
favors "a continuance Of the policy
of encouraging the development of
agriculture and horticulture in our
state" What does the Democratic
platform have to say on this matter?
Candidly. 1t has no word OF encour-
agement for the farmer or the agri-
cultural interests.

have to assume TIL the following
March. AZ the same election a con.
stitutional amendment had been pass
ed making the Office OF secretary OF
state elective. and authorizing the
Legislature to enact law cutting Of
the fees from that office and substl-
tuting therefor a straight salary.
When the fight for the control and
Organization OF the senate between
the corporation lobbyists and the
friends Of the people, the ever re-
sourceful lobbyists waited on Senator
and secretary-of- state-elect swisher
with this proposition: II he would
lie down on Northcott and the tax
reform forces, and help the corpor-
ations to get a strange hold on the
senate by the election Of Marshall,
they (the corporation lobbyistsj
would see to 1t that no act got
through cutting of the fees from the
office of secretary OF state. A matter
very easily done II the Marshall cor
poratlonists could win.
This was pretty severe test OF a
mans character and honesty, and his
loyalty to the people of the state. 1t
meant fortune to swisher to accept,
and the loss OF fortune to decline.
What did Charles w. Swisher do?
Did he waver? No. not bit of it.
Charles w. Swisher Indignantly de-
clined the bride, brushed aside the
tempting offer. threw 1t back into the
teeth Of Blizzard, Teter and Stall
maker who proposed 1t. And he Or
ganized the state senate, beating poor
old corporation controlled Marshall,
and the sweet-smelllng bunch OF cor
poratlon agents whose stalking horse
he was.
This is chapter OF unwritten po-
litical history, but 1t is true as Cos
pei and 1t were high time It be told.
A prominent Republican in Charles
ton at the time Of this happening,
hearing of It, said: That act will
make Charley Swisher governor of
West Virginia one of these days"
And so 1t will. The same gang who
tried to thwart the peoples will then.
and who tried to bride a public oftic-
ial to betray the people whose SER
want he was, are after him today.
But they will not get him. Charley
Swisher, the coal mine boy, will
trounce them at the polls in Novem-
Der like he has whipped them in his
former fights. The great mass Of
the people do not believe in Teter,
Stalnaker, Blizzard and their ilk, nor
will they follow them blindly SO as
to enable them to strike down man
who has proved himself trustwor-
thy honest and fearless champion Of
their interests against the corrupt
practices of corrupt lobbyists of cor
rupt tax-dodging corporations. You
can stick a pin right there, neighbor!

solidly Lined Up.

William C. Conley, Republican
candidate for attorney general,
has within the last few days com
pleted a tour of the counties in the
southern tier and returned upstate
cheered by the splendid conditions
within the party ranks he found ex-
listed in that section. Southern
West Virginia Republicans are bet
ter organized, more harmonious and
enthusiastic, and more on the alert
for party success than they have been
for years. They are united and have
started in to win such a victory in
that section as has never been won
by the party before. The campaign
has been started for weeks down
there, and meetings have been held
which have surpassed all previous
records for size and enthusiasm.
Last Saturday at Elkhurst, Clay
county, Mr.. Conley was present and
addressed a meeting of over five
hundred staunch Republicans. He
was given an enthusiastic reception,
and the mentioning by him of each
and every name on the national and
state tickets evoked hearty outDursts
of applause. There is nothing wrong
with Southern West Virginia Repub-
licans this campaign. 1t may be
their proud privilege to save the state
to the Republican party this year
who knows? They can do it, and
from all reports they realize their re-
sponsibility and propose to put forth
their hest efforts to save the Grand
Old Party from the Democrats and
their Scherr-Grant allies.

swisher Versus Mugwumps.

The same men who fought the tax
laws, who knitted Governor Dawson
at the polls four years ago, are the
same men who. are leaders of the
boiling mugwump Grant party.
Scan the list Of names and you will
see that this is the truth.
Failing to defeat Governor Daw-
son at the polls, their next move was
to try to organize the legislature
which convened in January, 1905.
Their scheme was to organize and
control the state senate, knowing
that IL they succeeded in this they
could prevent any tax legislation, or
so shape it that 1t would be lneffec-
tive against tax-dodging corporations.
Ran Stalnaker, Teter and Reese Biz
zard we're in charge Of the execution
OF this scheme. and their candidate
was Oliver Marshall, senator from
Hancock. The Dawson-White tax
reform forces opposed them, and the
active leader of these forces was
Charles w. Swisher, then a member
of the State senate. G. A. Northcott
was the tax reform candidate for
president OF the senate.

showed himself to be the true frient
of the tax burdened people, and II
