oeratlc convention few days ago.
which remarks tend 10 corroborate
and establish beyond peradventure
the position taken by the Telegram
that that Is the ultimate aim.
Though political hatred may reign
supreme in that party. though pre1u-
dice may govern its every action,
though design against the public
welfare may be cherished in It's
heart. yet It Is hard to believe that
such hatred. such prejudice. such de-
sign extend to the viclousness and
baseness shown in the remarks Of
said Dorsey. whose exile from Hunt
ington has been determined upon by
the city Of Huntington, and yet the
man OF the cloth whose profession I
is to study and interpret divine rev.
elation doubtless also applied study
and Interpretation to the Democrat
ic Acknowledgement plank ana came
to his vile conclusions therefrom,
thus for the vileness that fills his soul
welcomed by Democracy and hailed
with party shouting. Dorsey was
doubtless prompted to emit himself
thus of the vileness that fills hsl soul
with the hope Of being hailed as a
heroic expounder of Democratic
faith and, thus he belched forth

a body OF purified immortality. as his
words indicate, his well prepared
Democratic campaign slogan, which
he thought would prove the Keynote
Of Democratic victory In this state.
The Telegram is loath to believe
that the Democratic party of this
state will give such spirit OF degener-
acy. such revolving outrage upon a
civilized people,such wantoness of self
respect, such madness of mind, such
degradation of soul, such foulness of
tongue, Its Endorsement, and will not
believe that party viii submit to
such an act as Its own in the classifi-
cation of the men and women OF this
state, the families many of whom
differ in politics but are OF the same
blood and kindred. Not until the
Democratic party has been adjudged
insane and placed behind prison bars
will this newspaper conclude that it
gives Its Endorsement to such lep-
rous menace as the Rev. w. p.
Dorsey, who has essayed to utter for
1t a pronouncement OF caste and inn
morality upon the fellowmen OF that
party as repungnant to society as Dor
sey himself has shown himself satan
Ic in thought. 1t is not the duty of
this paper, however, so much to ex-
cuse the Democratic party for Dor
sey's utterances as It will feel 1t to
be to praise that party for any and
all efforts 1t may make to aid in
bringing down upon the fiendish head
of Dorsey the heavy stone Of punish
ment he deserves. What efforts the
Democratic party makes in the de-
termined action to spew this man out
OF society forever will be given due
credit by this paper.
The Telegram would gladly keep
from its columns the vile and leprous
thought of this man Dorsey. who has
not only bedraggled the cloth OF the
annointed of God but has also os-
TRACKED himself from civilized hui
mainly, but must admit It in order
that our readers may know what is
the basis Of this editorial. but pub
fishing the same forebearance and
patience as we'll as liberty to do so
are asked from our readers. Here 81
the vile stun Dorsey uttered at the
Democratic convention after asking
divine guidance in the deliberations
of the convention. the hypocrIte, the
devil himself personifed:
There are but very few men left
in the Republican party in West vir-
ginia today who have any white
blood in their veins" ANY white
man in the Republican party in West
Virginia today who would not vote
to bring about Jim Crow law should
merit the punishment he deserves.
and II should be nothing less than
having his daughter marry a burly
negro and she should be the mother
OF not less that fifteen Aat-nosed,
spotted faced, kinkey headed negro
children"
None who read will say that Hunt
inEton is wrong In its determination
to run this viper out OF that city and
to Danish him so far away that his
vile breath will not faint the atmos-
phere of that section of the state
longer
In view of the utterances made by
Dorsey, the place and the evident ba-
sis from which he derived the source
of the perversion OF his mind and
soul on that occasion. that is to say,
the lilly white" plank in the Demo-
cratic state platform, 1t is the duty of
that political party in this state. as a
matter OF self respect and honor. to
officially deny that he was authorized
to make such a construction and to
impress on the public mind that he
was in no way justified in arriving at
such conclusions. Sensible men do
