HARMtN,iIiNER KILLED.
Death Results from Runaway Accident
Last Saturday.

JHE ARGUS Is in receipt OF let.
ter from l.. =. CarsksLou, Of Key
ser, secretary of the Democratic
congressional committee of the Sec.
ond district, informing US of the
death of Hartman Hiner, father of
the Hon. Ben IL. EIiner, nominee
for congress IN the Second district.
at his home IN Pendleton county.
MIR. Hiner was injured in runaway
accident Saturday, being thrown from
a buggy, and death resulted Monday
evening, September 28.
He was one of Pendleton county's
most respected citizens and promi-
nent ex Confederate. and was highly
respected by all who knew him. His
wife died two years ago, and four
children survive him-three daugh-
tiers and our candidate.
Owing to the sad bereavement all
dates made for the appearance OF
Ben II. Hiner in this district are
cancelled.

out openly and squarely against
the payment of the so-called West
Virginia certificates.
Therefore THE ARGUS feels that
1T can appeal to the Republicans
of Preston county to support the
Democratic state and county tick
cts since the Republican party has
entirely ignored this vital issue.
If the Republican party was OPP
posed to the payment of these GER
tiiicates it would have said so in
its platform. But it is not. 1t is
said that Republicans high up in
the councils of that party have
been favored with a satchelful of
the certificates and they are neces-
sarlly anxious that the state pay
them, which will make them inn
mensely wealthy. But how about
the poor Republican taxpayers?
Are they so loyal to the party they
are willing to mortgage them
selves, their children, their grand
children, and their great-grand-
children to pay this unjust debt?
The Republicans must be the
judge. THE ARGUS can only call
their attention to the trap which
the Republican machine has set
for them. If they walk into it
they do so with their eyes wide
open and must not forget that
The ARGUS gave them due warn.
ing of the pitfall.

Turn the RascaIs Out.

Look here, Mr.. Republican tax
payer, you must admit that ''tax
reform" has not reduced your
taxes one penny, but on the con-
trary it has increased them sew
eral dollars. You must also al
NIT that the Republican platform
is perfectly silent Oh the S33, 000,-
600 of West Virginia certificates
which Wall street is trying to
make West Virginia pay. Now
"silence gives CONSENT" which
means that the men at the head
of the Republican party want to
pay Wall street. This being true,
how can you vote the Republican
state ticket this year to take your
hard earned money out OF your
pocket? You will not only do
yourself and family an injustice,
but you are doing every other
poor taxpayer in West Virginia a
gross injustice when you vote the
Republican machine ticket.
Those Republicans who are tell
ing you to "vote the ticket straight
from President to constable" and
"stand by the party" are the Re
publican oflice-holdcrs and office
seekers. They are living off the
public and of course they want
the Republican machine to win
50 they can hold their jobs. But
how about you? Docs the Repub-
lican machine pay the increase in
your taxes? Has it told you that
they will exempt you from pay
ing your portion Of the S33, 000,-
900 Of West Virginia certificates
if they succeed in fastening it
upon the state? No. Well, why
should you allow political preju-
dice to make you vote against
your own interests? This u a
serious question for you and every
taxpayer to consider.
If there is any virtue in politics
it is for the benefit Of the whole
people and not for the chosen few.
The way our state government has
been run for the past four years
has been exclusively in the inter
est Of the men who arc at the head
Of the Republican party It has
not only increased our taxes, but
it has about baukrupted our state
treasury. lt has become 80 cor
rupt that it has driven the honest
Republicans to- revolt against its
corruption and fraud.
Now come, Republicans Of Pres
ton join hands with US this year
and let us rid the state Of this
gang Of political graft and cor
rupGon. You will never regret it.

about the false promise. Of "Daw-
son tax reform" has had a cathar-
tic effect on the Reconsideration
ofthe Preston County Journal. He
seems to be running pretty loosely
now, but before the close of the
campaign he will not venture be-
yond the lavatory.
Because THE ARGUS exposed
the injury which Dawson tax re-
form" had done the public schools
the postmaster-editor went off in
a rage and refers to the editor of
THE ARGUS as "carpetbagger."
Of course the nonentity who has
been fed at the public crib for
twelve years has no conception of
the origin of the term Carpet
Dagger"
During the reconstruction pc
Rod following the war there was
a horde of human vultures sent to
the south to fill tho public Offices
by the federal government. The
south can congratulate itself that
the public-servant editor Of the
Journal was not old enough.
These human vultures INDUCED
in all kinds of dissipation and IL
centious living and plundered the
southern people. What they could
not destroy and carry away they
gave to their new. made allies, the
negroes, whom they taught to pill
fer and steal from the white peo-
lple of the south. Such human
vultures were called "carpetbag.
gers" by the southern people, for
they were sent from the New Eng.
land states and were not natives
of the southland. Hence the name
has followed those who move from
one state to another to get a pub.
lie Office.
AS the editor of THE ARGUS did
not come to West Virginia seek
ing a public Office, but to engage
in a Legitimate business which he
has forgotten more about than the
public crib man of the Journal
can ever hope to learn, the term
"carpetbagger," when applied tc
him, is a misnomer and exposes
the monumental ignorance OF the
Journal freak.
The object in referring to thi:
is to expose the ignorance OF the
public-servant editor and let the
public at large know what hyp
ocrite he is. He hollas by day
and snores by night for a Repub
llcan machine which is differed
by the "carpetbaggers," namely
S. B. Elkins, N. B. Scott, A. B
White, and w. NJ. O. Dawson, the
three former coming from Ohio
and the latter from MARYLAND
