LEGITIMATE EXPENSES.


campaign expenses. A few days
since, however, we were brought face
to face with phase of this question
that We had never thought Of ales-
tioning-the legitimacy and justice
OF the candidate paying for newspa-
per notices of his qualifications FOR
Office, his record in the past and pro-
posed future policy, and so forth and
so on.
The argument put forth was that
II we published such information for
the public good" without charge. it
was legitimate and all right, but. on
the other hand, If the candidate paid
Tor such articles the expense could
not be considered a legitimate one
Naturally we do not like the argu-
ment, because, on it's very face. It Is
against our interests. There are
forty-odd ndidates in Oconee. A
column or two each week for each
OF them would only necessitate our
doubling our force and consequently
our expenses. That, to be sure. Is
d small matter when we consider that
1t Is for the "public good" 1t is
hothlng to the candidate. He ONLY

glowing colors his past life "for the

Interesting Children's Day Exercises.

Fair Play, May 25.--Special: !:
Children's day passed of very pleas
antly In every respect at the Baptist
church on the fourth Sabbath. The
day was an auspicious one indeed.
The exercises were opened with
Scripture reading, Parable of the
Sower,' by w. c. Mays, after which

prayer. The exercises consisted of
speeches, recitations and dialogues.
interspersed with appropriate music.

cad, Kindly Light" sweetly sung
by Mrs. w. l.. Dobbs, Col j. r Earle,
or Walhalla, came forward and made
a most interesting talk, which was
heartily enjoyed. Following his ad-
dress H. e. Thompson, superintend-
ent of the Presbyterian Sabbath
school, closed the morning exercises
in prayer.
Dinner was then announced, a
long table having been prepared at
the rear of the church. Everybody
was invited to this table, and there
was plenty for all. Twas a feast
fit for kings.
After dinner quite a number as
sembled in the church, where they
spent two or three hours in good
music. .....'
notwithstanding the heat there
was quite large crowd present. All
expressed themselves as delighted
with the program, the success of
which is due to the untiring efforts

and at great disadvantage, to be
sure, since there were so many alb

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1908-08-27

A friend (need we say that he is a
Republican as staunch as there Is to
he found in all West Virginia and as
true to his party's principles and can
didates as the needle to the poie9-
friend has handed us letter ad-
dressed to him by A. C. Scherr, ask
ing his support for the nomination
for governor. 1t is dated at Charles
ton January 9th. last, and in view OF
happenings subsequent to that date
it is mighty interesting document
at this time.
In. it We find this:
The election of 1908 will be an
important one. We must go into the
fight with all factions in the party
eliminated and present solid front
to our enemies. 1t is only in this
way that We can win a glorious vic
tory"
How empty the words! The man
who appeals for the elimination Of
factions is the first to he the author
OF a factional strife within the party
worse than anything OF the kind that
ever ibeset it and threatened It's COM
plete overthrow. Beaten for the nom
nation, he didn't even wait for the
converting OF the regular convention,
but held one Of his own three hours
before the regular convention was
called to meet, to which only "scherr
delegates were admitted and then
only by the ticket, which read: "Ad-
NIT bearer to conference OF Scherr
delegates" He doesn't even claim
regularity for his little meeting which
chose him TO be the chieftain of the
piratical crew formed for the sole
purpose of scuttling the Republican
party ship in West Virginia waters
1T is only in this way that we will

win glorious victory" he wrote. Ye
Gods!
In the same letter he wrote: "If
devotion to duty and to my party will
gain me your support. then certain
~ ought to have ii" His devotion
to party" Ye Gods! again and thrice
over.
But let us quote further from this
letter. Hearken unto this gem: Il
believe in the principles of the party
and have ever given my time and
means to the advancement Of its
cause. The platform OF the Republi-
can party is my platform; its laws
are my laws, and am in full accord
with every movement already adopt
ed or to be adopted, which will pro-
mote the welfare of the people" Put
that under the light OF things that
have happened and dwell upon its
fragrant falsity.
1t should now be read "The plat
form of the Republican party is not
my platform; its laws are not my
laws. I am In full accord with every
movement already adopted or to be
adopted. which will not promote the
welfare of the people"
And finally, pause for a moment
and think this one over: 81 shall
know no factions, all Republicans
will look alike to me and will be as
sured a square deal" Isn't that one
a poser?
Well, nun said; the letter speaks
for itself.

oyden's Efforts.

The editor Of the stalwart Charles
ton Mail devotes time and space to
one II. C. Ogden, of Wheeling, which
is worthy of reproduction in our col
umns and merits the thoughtful per-
usa1 of every reader. especially and
particularly If that reader be aligned
with the Republican party. Here it
is in It's entirety.
The chief of the press department
OF the boilers is an ex-Democrat, or
rather one without the 'ex, who. by
his superior business scheming, has
secured control of that former mon
arch of Republican newspapers OF the
state, the Wheeling Intelligencer.
Men, who for quarter of century
or more, have been taught to look to
that journal for advice-sometimes
for consolation-are now Inundated
by seeing 1t turned against their par
ty in the attempt to turn the state
over to the party OF ruin. And not
alone is the trade of abuse directed
at Swisher and the rest of the state
ticket Candidates for congress,
members of the state senate, who
stand for re-election-yea, even
county candidates-who do not bow
to the reckoning OF the villifying
hand are cursed, blackguarded and
threatened, because they refuse to
turn against their party; the party
which gave to the country that great
man who worked his way from the
humble, but honest, calling of the
rail-splitter to the presidential chair:
the party which gave us that apothe-
osis of honesty and human kindness,
the Martyr McKinley;the party which
placed at the head OF the country's
affairs that stern type of the true
man, Theodore Roosevelt; the party
which now offers to the country as
her next president a man who has
been tried in varied capacities and
has never yet failed to perform the
task assigned him, no matter how
difficult; the party which Senator Ell
kins describe sas the greatest politi-
cal party ever known the party for
whose ticket Senator Scott voted for
first, while offering his life that the
country might survive, and whose
straight ticket he has voted ever
since; the party which has removed
West Virginia from the dusty
shelves of the unimportant unknown
and has given her a place by virtue
Of which she can claim as her own
one Of the brightest stars in the
great constellation which go to make
up this grand union-it is because
the large majority-aye, almost the
entire party-of Republicans refuse
to turn against this party that they
are daily subjected to the venom and
spite of man whose entire sympa-
thies are with another party--a man
who yields as whip the very organ
10 which they have been accustomed
10 look for sound adyices when they
have erred politically"

In the campaign of misrepresenta.
ton the Wheeling Intelligencer is
now putting up, that paper resorts
to clipping editorial items from the
Clarksburg News and crediting them
to the Clarksburg Daily Telegram.
All the devices and tricks of rhetoric
and syntax are not sufficient for the
distortions now concocted by the In
telltgencer's political dope writer's
and more deliberate and palpaIble
method has to be employed.
