Swisher's Career.

Charles Wesley Swisher, whom the
Goddess Fortune has made her pet,
was born of poor parents-very poor
land, therefore, he had to 80 to
work to support himself and help
support mis- parents at very early
age. He secured employment in a
mine near Tairmont. beginning by
driving a mule, which, hitched to a
car, hauled the black diamonds out
of the bowels of the earth. He was
nothing but strip of a boy then, but
he showed good qualities as a work
man, and later became a miner, and
then superintendent of mine.
Some folks there are in West vir-
glnla, who can't forgive a man for
being born poor and having to strug-
gle through life for everything he
gets. 1t is credltable to the manhood
of our State that such people are few
and far. between; that they are not
sufficient in numbers to engraft their
bigoted and aristocratlc snobbishness
on our States politics and institu-
tions. These snippish handful have
fought Mr. Swisher for every Office
he asplred to ill, and have Invariably
lost. They are fighting his candidacy
for Governor now and they are GER
tain of another humlliatlng defeat.
West Vlrginians say to their boys
it is an open field and fair chance
for all of you, rich and poor; 1t is
the stuff that you are made of that
counts.

A Remarknhle Discovery.

The Democratic organ attempts TO
make the impression that the lead
ers of its party, or, to be more ex-
plicit, the members of the clique,
have by some extraordinary and
superhuman means obtained the only
Simon pure, blown in the bottle, prac-
tically righteous and morally immac-
ulate method Of stating the names
that appear upon the city Demo-
cratic ticket and conducting a
municipal campaign generally.
Assuming for the sake Of humor
that such is the case, the Democratic
cliqucsters have blundered upon a
very important and to them a singu-
larry strange discovery. 1t should
be well guarded. 1t is ina new
place, amidst new surroundings and
unless the clique exhibits a great
amount Of warlness the thing will fit
away from it while its members have
their minds temporarily disengaged
in asserting out crime and corruption
for their wicked opponents.
Just what will be done with this
remarkable discovery, if the clique
manages to keep it Gagged until after
election day, remains yet to be seen.
That It has been quite recently
brought to light in the Democratic
camp is self-eyident fact. No in
dications Of its possession or even
knowledge Of It's existence by them
have hitherto been brought to public
notice. In the preliminary perpara-
tons for the city campaign the
cliquesters gave not the slightest sign
nor symptom Of having found such
thing. The same old method Of
framing up slate in star-chamber
session with the following whip
cracking ratification by henchmen in
city convention and the same old
WORKOUT campaign bowls we're again
in evidence. There was no token
whatever Of this wonderful discovery
over which the Democratic organ has
been stretching its linotype slugs and
its rhetorical efforts
In former years the Democratic
clique never knew Of any such Sond-
rous formula at least Judging from
the history they made in the line Of

bosslsm. slate-maklng, yote-buylng,
,whiskey distribution. intimidation
and other high-handed methods that
we're exhibited on all sides in Demo-
cratic campaigns.
Hence it is a matter Of great cur
iosity and sollcltude as to just what
the cllquesters intend to do with this
stupendous frd, this marvellous reye-
lation, this scientific, or unscientific,
unearthlng Of new and shining po-
litical precept The people of Clarks-
burg will doubtless enjoy the unique
pleasure Of witnessing the cllQuesters
and their cohorts holding forth on
electinn day with Sunday school leaf
lets In their hands, calling upon the
voters to mind their ways and be-
ware Of Sin, officiating at curbstone
prayer-meetlngs and at intervals
throwing Democratic campaign fund
materials into a huge bonfire in the
middle of the street. Traly, It will
be refreshing and inspiring sight!

An Ideal Official.

City Clerk Cole is the man who,
under the direction of a Republican
council, instituted new and system
attic method of bookkeeping for the
city. Under this present system
every single penny OF the clty's re-
sources and expenditures are record
ed in books and files where they can
be seen within moment by any citi-
zen or person interested in the con-
duct Of the city's affairs. Mr. Cole
has attended to his clerical duties
promptly, faithfully and with strict
est honesty, and has by that alone
made record that well recommends
his candidacy to the people Of the
city without further argument.
Whether Democrat, Prohibltionist
Populist or Republican Mr.. Cole has
not as yet failed to accord every one
having business with his department
all courtesy and accommodation
within his power Mr.. Cole has made
a valuable clerk and the citizens OF
Clarksburg may rest assured that the
duties Of that important office Will
be carefully attended TO il ne is re-
elected.

Sure Sign Of Defent.

The same old tactics are being
pursued by the Democratic clique in
charge of the Wood ticket, as has
been played for years. The cry Of
fraud goes up just as it has done for
years, and yet the bunch has never
succeeded in establishing its claim.
The cry so early in the campaign
is an admission of defeat, and is
made in advance significance that
those who make it are aware of de-
feat. 1t stares them in the face now
and well they know it. As the re-
suit they are falling back on the old
excuse of why they did no better be-
fore the people.

sure of election, though the enemy
were reluctant to indorse them. They
are popular, too, as every one knows.
John Howe for chief has always
got many more votes than needed
even hundreds more-and he viii get
them this year, and thus will his
popularity be attested again.
There is Louis A. Carr for city
assessor and others on the Republic
can ticket. He is young man,
whose popularity, beyond that OF
personality, Is because of his fitness
for the place. He is showing the
people now that he can and does fill
the place in a splendid manner. His
candidacy all must admit, Is a popu-
lar one.
James ]. Cornell in the first ward
for council is popular candidate.
He is winner, He looks after his
ward and the city and there is every
good reason why his candidacy is
popular with the people Of that ward.
There is no shadow Of doubt in his
case. His election is assured.
Thomas L. Anderson is a popular
candidate In his ward. He suits the
majority Of the ward and II will
triumphantly elect him over his op-
ponent.
Ellsworth Cork is well liked in his
ward. He has a host, Of friends.
They find no fault with his record rs
councilman. And finding no fault
they propose to re-elect him.
While ]. II. Alexander in the
fourth ward has not been greatly
identified with public affairs, yet his
business, that of a builder and con-
tractor, brought him into contact
with public men and affairs, and
every one knows that he does good
work and that he is splendid citl-
zen superbly well prepared to con-
duct city affairs. That his candidacy
is popular is shown by the fine re-
ports that come from that ward as to
what It's citizens think Of him and
his candidacy.
Charles w. Moore Is capable law
yer, man of keen perception and
good judgment. He has broad con-
ception of public affairs and is a gen
tleman thoroughly advised of the
needs Of his ward as well as the city
in general. He is one whose efforts
will be enlisted in the advancement
of his ward and the city along the
line of city improvements. All know
that he will give his earnest endeav-
ors toward city progress. That alone
makes his candidacy popular.
mi, while it is pointed out why
in all these things, the Republican
ticket is the popular one, yet 1t
should not be overlooked that it is a
meritorious one, and, on that ac-
count, together with the reasons Civ
en-, is fayorite one with the peo-
pie. 1t is just such ticket as every
man, rich or poor, high or low, can
vote for.

The Popular Ticket.

The popular ticket is what the Re-
publican city ticket is. Every one
admits that fact. Why is it popular?
Because it is one that is a winner and
because it is one that can be tied to.
Truly, there is not one word that
can be said in detriment to Truman
]. Lynch. Every one knows that he
is a gentleman successful in business.
Every one knows that he is pleasant
in business. Every one knows he
has magnetic personality. Every
one knows that he is largely inter
ested in the city and its welfare. The
taxpayer knows that he is one Of
them, though not on as large scale
as many Of them, Every one knows
he is a man Of fine business judg-
ment. Every one knows he possesses
the qualifications Of fine mayor
Every one has confidence in him and
rightly 50.
The city, clerk, VIII II. Cole, is a
part of Clarksburg's old-line citizen
ship but fully adjusted to the new
citizenship, No one ever heard a
truthful man say any thing against
his record as city clerk, The oppo-
sitlon knows better than 10 attack his
record. What more need be said as
to his popularity? Plenty more can
be said in his favor, but there needs
be no more said.
Every one knows about Ed. Doyle.
He is just about as popular as one
needs be, as the elections show and
every one is his friend after that.
He does the street work as wcll as the
next one could and everybody knows
it. So, what is the use to say he.

to the world that Foraker was his great
and good friend, and could go back to
the senate-sent there, of course, by

What a splendid opportunity Mr..
Taft had, when he came to Toledo.
where his meeting with this corrupt
politician occurred, to say something
that would have thrilled and warmed
the hearts of the American people.
Suppose Mr. Taft had then refused
to speak to Foraker. had refused to
take his hand, had gone before that
great audience and said: L repudiate
that man and his works. | know him,
and know that he represents Standard
Oil and not the people of Ohio. He

l do not want to do so owing any OBJ

What a ringing message to the
American people that would have
been. 1t would have gained Taft tens
of thousands of votes. Even Bryan
could not have helped applauding his
competitor for the presidency for such
a speech.
But Mr.. Taft, knowing then all about
Foraker, took aim to his bosom and
told the American people that he was

the standpoint of political expediency,

CONGRESSMAN JONES DUPLICITY

During the recent primary campaign,
Congressman Wesley L. Jones, of
North Yakima. preached much and
long about the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of the
people, but it now appears that MIR.
Jones was not sincere.
In one of his ante primary speeches
Congressman Jones said:
THE demand for the election of
United States senator's by the direct
vote of the people is getting stronger.
Political conventions of both parties
have declared for it, and our legiSla
ture has memorialized congress in IA
vor Of it many times. l am heartily in
favor of it. Times and conditions have
changed since the adoption of the con-
stitution and the present method of Sc
lection of senators is not in accordance
with the spirit and needs of the peo-
ple.''
1t now appears that Congressman
Jones was lying when he declared him.
self in favor of the direct election of
United States senators.
Down in Nevada, the samet laws ap
ply to the nomination and election of
United States senators as apply here,
but in order that there might be the
freest possible expression of the po-
pies choice, the democratic and repub-
lican nominees for the senatorShip have
evolved a plan whereby the people
might express a preference, each
agreeing that in the event of defeat he
would not permit his name to go before
the people. In Oregon The same result
is attained by state statute
Mr.. George F. Cotterill, who was re-
Gently nominated by the democrats for
the United States senate has asked
Mr.. Jones to join with him in a plan
whereby the people of the state could
choose between the two candidates for
the United States senate. In asking
Mr. Jones to join with him in the plan,
which provided for a separate volun-
tary ballot, Mr.. Cotterill very properly
called the attention Of Mr.. Jones to
some of the statements the latter gen.

THE CASE OF FORAKER.

Joseph Benson Foraker, United
States senator from the state of Ohio
and big gun in republican councils, has
Joined the down and out class
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst. who
goes after many public men and gets
some, went after Mr. Foraker with the
result that this republican politician
has Joined the Mitcnells, the Odells.
the Platts and the Derews.
In connection with the Foraker ex-
pose. it is interesting to note the at
titude of the republican presidential
candidate. Two weeks ago Foraker
was man after Taft's own heart. a
good, patriotic, country saving broth
er; but now Mr.. Taft is disguised and
disgruntled with him.
Why? Not, apparently, because
Taft has learned anything new about
the senator, but because the people.
through Hearst have found out, in a
specific. definite way, what they know
in a general way all along, SAYS the
Oregon Journal
Taft mas known Foraker like a book
for 80 years. 1t is regrettable that
Taft met and greeted this tainted man
as he did at Toledo. Foraker has been
all his political life an enemy of the
people, tool of their robbers, and Taft
has not been ignorant of it.
Two weeks ago NJ. Taft announced
