LANDSLIDE
TO BRYAN
REPORTING THE NEWS

Although Senator Whyte with
drew from the race for state soma
tor on Saturday night and his sue
cessor on the ticket was selected,
our morning contemporary, the Re-
publican organ OF southern West
virginia contained no mention OF
II yesterday, In fact our neighbor
mas had no word TO say I'm regard TO
affairs In Mcdowell county during
this campaign. The Leader has had
20 make It's fight on behalf OF de-
cent Republicans and the Democrats
OF that county. or rather on behalf
OF the white women and children
OF Mcdowell, alone and unaided, SO
far as newspaper support is con-
'cerned. Conditions have been
known for years. The character OF
w. w. Whyto has been no secret:
the corrupt and demoralIzing con-
ditions at Keystone and elsewhere
were common knowledge: the char
acter OF a. H. Calhoun was known,
long beIoro he was elected an al
ternate to the national Republican
convention at Chicago; and not ono
word was uttered against It. until
the Leader answered the appeals OF
Mcdowell county citizens, both Re
publicans and Democrats, to show
up the conditions as they exist
4 j.
but It IS only begun. Are we 20 do
Il unaided? Or will political policy
keep the mouths Of Republicans
closed? The white Republicans OF
Mcdowell county will be heard from
on election day; don't forget that.

GlAssCOCKS HOME PAPER IS OPPOSED TO Jim CROW CAR LAW
THINKS WHITES AND BLACKS SHOULD RIDE IN SAME COACH

The Morgantown Post-Chronicle.
Republican organ, and Mr.. w. E.
Glasscock's home paper, in answer
to a question asked by the Morgan
town Dominion, places itself square
ly Oh record as being opposed to
requiring the railroads to provide
separate coaches for the whites and
blacks.
Here Is the Post-Chroncle's an
swer:
The Post Chronicle is most ear
nestly opposed to the enactment If
a law in West Virginia compelling
railroad companies to provide sep
arate coaches for white and colored
people. This paper will stoutly OPP
pose any legislation the purpose OF
which Is to accentuate and intensity
al absurd, uncivilized, unchristian
race IRE Jueice and race hatred, sucn
as maaifests itself IN the truculent
savagery, of Tillmanism. Is the Do
m.n'on row able to determine just
what the papers position really is
on the Jim Crow car law?"
The above is the opinion Of the
Republican organ In Mr.. Glasscock's
home town.
1t brands the lily white planks
in the Democratic platform as "ab-
surd. uncivilized, unchristian race
prejudice such as manifests itself
in the truculent savagery of Till
manism."
What do the white people OF the
southern section of the state think
OF the stand OF Mr.. Glasscock's home
paper?
Does this represent the views OF
Mr.. Glasscock. Heretofore. he has

When the grand jury OF Mellow
ell county. on laSt Thursday. re-
turned four indictments against Sen
ator w. w. Whyte. the nominee of
the Republican party t. succeed
himself in the sixth senatorial dis
trict, the powers that be" got their
heads together and decided that he
was too big dose" for the people
OF said district to swallow. without
sugar or salt.
This was influenced by the ex-
posures which have been made by
the Leader from time to time. and
the announcement that we would
publish a biography OF the Repub-
lican boss on Saturday, October II.
His resignation came simultaneously
with his biography which appeared
in the Leader last Saturday.
Some of them went to Senator
Billy and told him in plain terms
that he would have to come down.
Ii is not known whether or not the
senator protested, but he finally
yielded, and on Saturday night the
senatorial committee met at Welch,
accepted Whyte's resignation, and

say in the future. Something inter-
esting developed in connection with
selecting the nominee OF the parry
for this particular office.
1t is said that the committee ap-
preached one very respectable gem
tleman and asked him if he woIld
accept the nomination. He told
them plainly the Platform on which
nc would run, and indicated to them
that he would vote for the Jim
Crow" car law, whereup"L the COM
mittee decided that that would be
too big leap to come all at once.

was that he signed petition pre-
sented TO the legislature last spring.
asking that body to snbmit to the
people an amendment TO the consti-
tuition prohibiting the sale of liq-
uos. The idea of sending a pro-
hibitionist from Mcdowell county
did not set well with the committee
and he was passed by.
After considering the names or
several others. they finally landed
DR.. Ii. u. liatneid as a man satis-
factory to represent said district n
the upper branch OF the legislature.
1t will be remembered that D..
Hatfield IS secretary OF the Repub-
lican county executive committee,
OF which w. w. whyte is chair
man; also member OF the senate
rial Republican committee which
had for its purpose the election OF
Senator w. w. Whyte. He is the
same man who assaulted Mr.. II. B..
Kits of the Laily Leader. because
he dared to print the truth and re-
fused TO apologize for IL.
Whyte is stin a member OF the
state senate and n member OF ths
executive committee OF the Republi-
an party IN ,hIs state.
On all sides it is asxsi' II Whyte
has been brought on. Why not Ep-
ling?" Certainly Whytu Is a more
intelligent man than Ep' ne, and his
associations have been equally a..
good. The decent element OF the
Republican party In Mcdowell coln-
ty have said that they are going 20
have a "clean up" that they are
tired OF that county being held up
as dump heap for all scrap bag
gers, and the dlsfranchlstd element
OF other states debating who their
officers shall be: We congratulate
them on the stand they have taken;
only they have not gone far enough.
1t remains to be seen whether
they WI suppors the no candidate
who has been part of the machine.
If Mcdowell has decided to clean
up" why not Mercer? The tenden-
cies in this county plainly show that
If the present gang" is kept in
power that the conditions in this
county will become equally as bad
az they are now in Mcdowell county
which has caused a revolt among
