Republican State Ticket.
IiWeston independents

It Is not usually the case that any
one man finds on his party's ticket
the name OF every man whom he
desired 10 see nominated. The tick
ct placed befor the people by the Re
publican party this year will be no
exception 70 the rule. n this writer
could have had things his own way
there would have been q ticket diff
fering In several particulars from
the one named by the delegates. But
for the most part the ticket named is
strong one, and, from present in
dicatIons, there is not likely to be
another one before the people which
offers to the people the hope OF doing
more for their real interests, and, at
least by comparison, we believe II
will be strong enough to appeal sue
cessfully to those who want to see the
continued supremacy in this state OF
Republican principles.
II has been repeatedly stated by
this paper that the Republican party,
or any other party, ought only to ex-
pect to win by. deserving to win.
What will the election of a man or
of a ticket mean to US as people?
What viii 1t mean for the issues
that have been uppermost in the par
tvs principles in recent years?
What VIM 1t mean for those for
ward movements that are largely
moral and the right settlement of
which we believe to be so important
to our moral uplift? A careful read
ing of the declaration of principles
which constitutes the platform upon
which the nominees stand win surely
strongly appeal to men who stand for
reform. It is up to the opposition to
meet the same issues with equal
courage and flrmness, or stop its
howling about the failures of the
Republicans.

Reeds Nomination.

The regular delegates from Har-
rison county to the Republican state
convention at Charleston carried out
the expressed wishes OF the Republic
cans of this county.
Those delegates did so nobly and
also when defeat stared them
in the face at times in the memorable
contest for the nomination for secre-
tary of state. Not one of the FIVE
thousand Republicans OF this county,
had they all been present. would
have entertained the idea that the
delegates were not true to them and
the trust reposed in them. after wit
Messing the battle royal which waged
for nearly five hours, with the Har-
rison county delegates always on the
firing line.
1t is recalled that at the primary
election the Republican hosts Of
Harrison county voted for Hon.
Stuart F. Reed for the nomination for
secretary of state. The vote was
practically unanimous and all were
satisfied with the result.
While there were expressions of
belief that Mr.. Reed would be de-
serted, yet these were from the few
skeptical, and, perhaps, there were a
very few who hoped 1t might so
prove. But, nothing OF the kind hap
pened and Reed with the loyal work
OF the Harrison county delegation
came out of the convention trium-
plant.
With the nomination of Senator
Reed new history vas made, as II
gave Harrison county a state candi-
date on the Republican ticket-a
state candidate, whica neither great
political party had conferred on
Harrison county for many years.
1t is admitted by both political par.
ties that Harrison county rightfully
demands representation on the state
ticket. and, all residents OF the county
should take especial pride in the fac

There Is first the county pride
which will cause united support OF
Reed by the Republicans OF Harrison
county. Next. there Is the earnest
desire Of Republicans to be repre-
4sented at Charleston rather than
Democrats. Another Inspiration OF
united support is the loyal and active
services OF the nominee TO the party
under all circumstances and more es-
pecially, when 1t cost him personal
sacrifice to be loyal and true. Still,
another general prompting Is the high
character Of the man and his fine
capacity to fill the office.

majority in Harrison county as never
was attained in magnitude In the
county's grand history. q

True to the Party.

At the head of this column we arc
publishing today, and expect to pub
lish regularly hereafter, the Republi-
can ticket that will be elected in the
coming November electIon-national,
not recognize the claim of any other
so-called Republican ticket. Had
Mr.. Scherr received the nomination
for governor at the hands OF the Re-
publican state convention which has
Just completed Its session at Charles
ton his name would have appeared In
our columns instead of that OF Mr..
Swisher, and we would have accorded
him that support which we are in d.
rect position to accord. Had the en-
tire state ticket been different from
what 1t Is, we would have given 1t the
same support which we intend giving
the ticket that was, nominated. Re-
publicans of the state who are not
boilers cannot be expected to support
any other than the regularly electd
ticket. A very large majority of
the Republican voters of the state
will. We firmly believe, remain true
to the regularly nominated ticket,
and the fight for supremacy this fall
viii be las usual, between the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties Of the
state. 1t is to he hoped that the fac
tional differences that have cropped
up will be speedily settled: but should
these matters not be adjusted, the
Republican party of the state must
go into the battle as well prepared as
circumstances Will permit. We can
not believe that the Republicans of the
staff viii lend their aid to the common
enemy Of the party by quitting sup
port Of a regularly nominated ticket,
| thus practically aiding the Democra-
cy. The political lines bid fair to
be closely drawn. The Democracy
will see its opportunity. If we are to
have a Democratic administration In
West Virginia from the four years
from March next It will come from
Republican votes. But we do moi
believe that this will be the result

Taylor is Regular.
EGrafton Republican. ]

Taylor county did not bolt the
state convntlon at Charleston. The
organization of the delegation, to-
gether with many OF the delegates,
attended the first session of the big
convention. The report sent out
throughout Taylor county that our
delegation bolted Is not true. sena-
tor Bailey, the chairman OF the dele
cation, s. II. sommerville. the sec
rotary, and a majority of the dele
gates sat in the convention and voted
every time the roll was called. Sew
eral of the county's delegates rumped
with the Soherr people, but the or
ganization could not help that. The
organization of the Taylor delegation
wants the people to know that Taylor
was regular" and that It sat and
voted in the regular convention Of Its
marty.

Bailey no Bolter.
EGrafton Republican. /

The. fallacy of the scherr nomina-
ton for governor may be readily rec
ognized when such old and exper-
fenced fighters as Senator Bailey re-
fused to bolt the regular convention.
Senator Bailey was pronounc-
ed Scherr man. He even went
so far as to deliberately swipe
the TAYLOR county delegate conven-
ton from the regular elected dele
gates and twist 1t about so as to get
instructions for Scherr, but when It
came to the point of boiling a state
nominating convention in the fur
therance of the Scherr candidacy, the
Senator wasn't there with the goods.
He carried majority of his dele
cation into the state convention. He
voted that delegation for Mr.. Scherr,
and, the next day, for Mr.. Topping,
and he voted 1t solldly on all ques-
tons that required a roll call of
counties to decide. Whatever else
Senator Bailey might be politically,
he Is no "bolter."

ors under deIusion, when it says
that William H. Hearne Withdrew his
name from the race for governor. The
editor of that paper must have been
so busy looking after his own candi-
dacy that he was obliyious to what
happened. Mr.. Hearne did not with
draw, but was placed in nomination
regularly and received more than the
solid vote of his own county delega-
ton. The West Virginian may not
like Mr.. Hearne but that does not ex-
cuse It for incorporating him.

THE Strenuous LIFE
Pulls So Hard on the Stomach
it Must Have Help.

The stress and strain OF the siren
uous life in both city and country
make stomach troubles. Five peo-
pie suffer today where one did ten
years ago with headache, dizziness,
tiatulence. distress after eating,
specks before the eyes, bloating, ner-
vousness and the many other symp-
toms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out OF three in Clarksburg and other
towns. should use Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. Nothing else is as safe, yet
effective: nothing else can be so thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from indigestion as Mi-o-na.
So reliable is Mi-o-na that Harris
on & Harrison with every so cent box
they sell, give a guarantee to refund
the money unless he remedy cures.
