insist that more than half of the eight

while the advocates of NOrys say that
five members favor the election of the

ChairmanShip depends absolutely upon the
wishes of MIR. Taft, who has not pub

Another Fake Nailed.

a dispatch sent out under a Hunt
ington date line, which is going the
rounds of the Democratic newspapers,
states that at a meeting of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen held in
that city few days ago, resolutions
were presented and adopted against
the Republican ticket, and especially
against Hon David Smith, Republic
can candidate for state senator in the
Cabell-Lincoln district.
The dispatch is a lie. Nothing of
the kind ever happened. The Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen appoint
ed a committee to wait on the
editor of the Huntington Advertiser,
(Dem.), in the columns of which the
canard was first published, and re-
quest him to retract the story. The
committee informed the Democratic
editor that the constitution of their
order prohibited them from taking
any such action as the article stated
was taken by their order. The ex-
PLANTATION was made. An interesting
fact may be mentioned here that Mr..
Smith, the candidate for the state
senate, Is himself a trainman. He is
Ia locomotive engineer on the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad, is widely
that section. is popular with them,
and they have supported his political
aspirations in the past, when he was
elected to the House of Delegates,
and there is every reason TO expect
that they will support his candidacy
for the higher Office this year.
This is a sample of the sort of pre-
varicating campaign that the Demo-
cratic managers in this state are con-
Quoting. All sorts of untruths are
foisted by them on the public and so
rapidly and voluminously that they
hope that most of them cannot be dis
covered in time and refuted. The
Democratic party this year under
Boss McGraw and Vice-Boss Neal is
presenting a spectacle to fair-minded
men throughout the state. False
hoods, Misrepresentation. canards,
oorbacks-instead of arguments,
facts and figures constitute the DEM
ocratic stock in trade. Voters
should be on their guard from now
on. as the fiction bureau of the Dem
ocratic headquarters. at Parkersburg
has enlarged the force and will be

A PoIiticoI Brafnstorm.

In speaking about the national
campaign Representative Leake as
serted with emphasis that Bryan had
migrated upon the Democratic party
the principles of Populism and Social
ism, and virtually had wrecked the
party. He called Mr.. Bryan a fanat-
fc, a crafty seeker after votes, and
finally a political brainstorm." De
spite the picturesque terms which he
applied to Bryan, Represen tative
Leake discussed logically and clearly
his reasons for boiling the Demo-
cratic party. The keynote to his
talk was patriotism, and he pointed
out that regard for the nations in
terest was higher than mere party
loyalty.
Il declined denomination for Con-
gress," said Representative Leake.

out of myself in following Bryan's
doctrines. 1 could not consistently
run for Congress on Bryan's platform
after what 1 had stood for two years

Bennett McGraw's Man.

NThe persistent attempt of the Dem
ocratic campaign managers to fasten
a prejudice in the minds of the
voters that Hon William E. Glass
cock is "Bllins's hired man." has
failed utterly. The very life, charac-
ter and career of Mr.. Glasscock has
served to block that Democratic
game. IF I am elected governor -
he said in his Wheeling speech before
great and warm-hearted audience
which packed the Carroll club to the
walls. 81 WI take upon myself the
serious and binding obligation to car
ry out the duties to the best of my
Judgment, and not the judgment of

inquired If Bennett was not the par
ticular protege of John T. McGraw
and George 1. Neal.

yes! Neal is The Columbus who dis

The snme Ola Gnme.


The Hon. William E. Glasscock
charges Louis Bennett with misrepre-
senting facts in his speeches. Not
only does he charge that, but he is
proving the charge in every speech
which he makes. Bennett is more to
be pitied than censured, however He
does not know. At least, that is the
charitable view to take of it. Many
of his statements are so absurdly
false as to be ridiculous. But, mis-
representation has ever been the sum
and substance of Democratic speech
making in every campaign in West
Virginia for the last two decades.
How successful it has been, a look
at the increasing Republican vote
every election discloses.
The old game of trying to hood
wink the voters with faIsehoods and
Interpretations is played out, and
everybody else except the average
West Virginia Democratic spellbind-
er is well aware of that fact, and
has been for many years.
There is more intelligence and
practical business sense behind the
average ballot today than ever before
in the history OF the politics of the
American Eepublic. The voters
know these times. They can not be
fooled.

"A man named Bettes, now residing

vast sums they have fi1ched from the
Milwaukee brewers, are having 1t

It will be recalled that when Mac

to race prejudice. 1t will be recalled
that in that campaign, exciting pos
tiers were plastered on dead walls de-
picting horrible and unheard of as

It is possible to make it.
In this, the Democratic managers
are seeking to make the best of an
egregious blunder when they permit
ted Bryne to fasten his odious planRs
into their party's platform. In the
general passionate excitement and
unreasoninS hatred they hope TO
arouse by these methods, they are
fondly wishing that the voters will

Dirty Deceiver-s.

The Democratic state committee Is
making every effort to ALLEVIATE the
1aboravUte from the Republican party
in West Virginia. Having plenty OF
money at its disposal that committee
is sending men through the laboring
centers, who disguise the real pur-
pose OF their visit, and are spreading
ali sorts of lies and falsehoods. Two
men were sent into the state for the
express purpose of getting the State
Federation of Labor, in session at
Clarksburg. 10 endorse the national
and state tickets. The expenses of
these men in the State were betrayed
by the Democratic state committee.
Although, more or less meaningless
resolutions approving Gompers were
passed, the Federation iiatly refused
to endorse either Bryan or Bennett.
