An Evening Echo
AS unto the bow the cord is, so
unto man is woman.-Longfellow

In an underhanded manner the
Democratic newspaper here is again
going after Louis Bennett, through
articles written by ]. NJ. Mason, of
Charles Town, who declares plainly
against Mr.. Bennett, because he is
a gentleman of means and is ibeliev.
ed to be ready to finance the cam
pafgn." :: Mr.. Bennett has doubtless
entertained the idea that the Demo-
cratic newspaper of this county is his
friend, but, 1t appears it would be
well for him to dispel that idea as
early as possible and not place too
much confidence in good part of
the Democratic party in the county
which pretends to be for him. 1t
behooves him to watch his fences in
Harrison county.

tion is here made that that party is
continually passing resolutions de-
mandatory of corporations and COM
bines. including the big coal company
in the Clarksburg and Fairmont reg
ions, but, at the same time 1t is
noticed that several OF the delega-
tions to the county convention have
one or more of the big coal company
men on them, and in some of the
district conventions the dominant and
controlling number was comprised of
mine officials and other employees.
Is here not an inconsistency worthy
Of explanation on. the part of Democ-
rry? But, as stated, the Telegram
merely mentions it.

AS seem by statements made by
Mr.. Neal, campaign manager for Mr..
Bennett for governor, the Democratic
party intends to make use of as much
money as 1t can get hold of In the
campaign and especially after the
nominations are made. or course,
Mr.. Neal adroitly explains how his
party. is going to use such money, but
as every one knows the explanation
is incomplete, as 1t does not cover the
main items for which the party will
spend Doodle and booze.
