publican party was m power. anil
tnat the great trunk line railroads
and the great coal fields were large
ly developed between 1870 and 1896
under Democratic rule. And this de-
veiopment has gone on almost un-
interrupted until W thin the past
year, when the Roosevelt panic and
the Dawson tax laws have put a
check on prosperity and industry in
West Virginia unknown before i'm its
history. There has been remark
able development under Republican
rule. and it is all the more remark
able because I has been in spite
OF Republican rule. We may expec:
continuance of this development
under Governor Bennett.

SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED

The Daily Leaders campaign for
decency and morality in Mcdowell
county has not been without fruit.
An overwhelming public sentiment
has been aroused in a county
strongly Republican and the most
influential man politically in the
southern end of the state has been
FORCED to resign as candidate for
office, after the Leaders, exposures
and the grand jury investigation!
Following, which resulted In four
indictments for felony. w. w.
Whyte Is no longer a candidate. but
w. w. Whyte is an Issue that the
Republican party cannot evade. His
name was only withdrawn after the
Leader had made 1T impossible for
him to continue on the ticket. I'm
til his successor on the ticket an
swers satisfactorily the very peril
nent questions asked him by the
Leader Saturday, he stands very lit
tie higher in public estimation than
Senator Whyte.
Will he answer? Can he answer?
We venture to predict right now
that he will withdraw before the
election, and for good and sufficient
reasons. The Leader has other cards
to play and they are all trumps.

According to the published accu.
satlons made by men of his own
party w. w Whyte is not fit to oc-
cupy a position in the state senate
or to hold any other public office.
And yet the Republican party with
lis usual effrontery has forced him
upon the ticket and proposes to
elect him by means OF the big ne
gro vote in McDowell.-Wi Williamson
Enterprise.
And they might have succeeded If
the Daily Leader had not forced his
withdrawal from the ticket. II is
matter OF regret that the better
element of the party could not con
troll the nomination Of his successor
and offer the people candidate who
has not mixed up with Whyte in
the manner the new candidate has.
But the people Of the district have
made up their minds 90 elect George
French Strother and there will be
no reason to worry with Strother in
the senate. He Is an honorable,
clean man.

James A. Hughes is now going
the rounds OF his district telling the
people al THAT he has done for them
We notice that he omitted the fact
that be pulled the wires faithfully
for the corrupt Elkins machine and
swatted a Scherr man whenever he
saw one: He also played false 90
the old liners in this section. We
reckon he stands square with the
negroes however as his private sec
rotary is OF that race. The white
people OF this district are tired Of
being misrepresen5ed in congress

The Telegraph hustles forth with
n few more reasons" why one
James Anthony Hughes should be
returned to Congress. 1t declares
that he has done much for the dis
trict, and each time is in position
to do more, but fails to tell us OF
anything the Hon. James Anthony
has really done. He did vote for
the Crumpacker resolution to cut
down southern representation and
now stands on a platform demand
ing the re-installation OF the negro
soldiers who shot up Brownsville.

The republican party in it's ma
tional platform declares in favor of
The strict enforcement of the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteent
amendments and would have the
same conditions in every community
In the south where the negro Is in
the majority as exists in Mcdowell
county today and as existed in Will
mington and other cities of North
Carolina a dozen years ago when
the Republicans for a brief time got
control of that state. Mr.. Mann.
of Bramwell, is acquainted with
this state OF affairs, and yet he was
member of the platform commit
tee at Chicago and supports Judge
Taft, who stands squarely on that
platform. Mr.. Mann Is chairman OF
the Republican county committee.
He is an honest man and of course
believes in his platform. Voters of
Mercer county, do you favor turn
ine over your county to the negroes
wherever they have majority, as
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Mann believes
should be done, or do you believe
in white supremacy in government?
Do you favor mixed juries as they
have in Mcdowell county, and other
counties where the negroes control,
or do you favor white juries? A
vote for Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Mann's
candidates Is a vote for mixed jul
ries whenever the negroes demand
1t, The negroes had a majority of
the voters present at the Rock dis
trict convention in May and de-
handed the nomination of their own
candidates for justices, constables
and member OF the board of edu-
cation, but some respectable white
Republicans out counted them and
nominated white men. In the opin-
ion of Judge Taft and Mr.. Mann,
II he is the honest man we believe
him to be, they were acting in bad
faith with the negro and are no bet
ter than southern Democrats who
disfranchise the negro. Voters, de-
eide whether you are In favor OF
white supremacy and register an
honest answer on November Ord.

A citizen OF the east end of the
county writes us to send him some
copies of Saturdays Leader, saying:
/ had two Republicans read your
exposure Of w. w. Whyte, and both
or them decided to vote for Demo-
Gratis for the state Offices" w. w.
Whyte is an issue in the state cam
paign that the Republican machine
cannot dodge. His nomination for
state senator by the people who
knew his record well and his prom
lnence in the councils of his parry
are enough to damn the machine in
eyes OF all decent people, whether
Democrats or Republicans.

Our morning contemporary wouId
nave its readers believe that DR.. l.
l.. Clark stands ready to DESTROY the
coal and lumber interests of this
district If he is elected to congress
and that the salvation of these in
terests depends on the reelection of
Mr. Hughes. AS DR.. Clark is large
~ interested in the coal business n
Is hardly likely that he will do any
thing very harsh in the matter. DIR.
clark is safe and conservative
business man, recognized as such
by the business interests OF his dis
trict, and will receive a tremendous
majority Of the white vote of -he
district. If defeated at all 1t will be
by the enormous negro vote OF his
district, and that is the element to
which Mr.. Hughes must appeal for
MS majority and on whom he de-
Ponds for a seat in congress.
