THAT FEDERAL BUILDING

All the Republican politicians in
West Virginia are claiming credit
for the federal building that is be-
nj constructed in Bluefield. Scott
claims the credit. Elkins claims
the credit. Hughes claims the ere l.
1t. All claim the credit OF securing
the appropriation.
The Telegraph gives every Repub-
ilcan politician that blows into
Bluefeld the credit of securing the
appropriation. One would imagine
that Bluefeld had a dozen federal
buildings.
About dozen campaigns have
been made on the federal building.
1t does look like that they have
ridden this gag 10 death.
We wonder If the time will ever
come when a Republican politician
comes to Bluefield who does not
claim the entire credit for this
building. Even IL c. Bascomb Slemp
happens to pass through, the Tele-
sraphScomes out the following day
with an article giving him the cred
it.
We suppose the time will soon
come when even the candidate for
constable and justices of the peace
will demand reelection for what
they have done in securing the fed
eral building for Bluefield.

REPUBLICAN, INCONSISTENCY

When the Cooper bill. provid ng
for general primary law, was un-
der consideration during the ses-
sion OF the Legislature Of 1907. and
came so near passing. what was l.
that caused the defeat Of the meas
ure? 1t was the following argu-
ment advanced by the Republican
senators and representatives from
the black belt: They said that in
the county OF Mcdowell a large ma
jority of the voting population and
an overwhelming majority OF the
Republican voters are negroes. and
that II the candidates for all Of
fees should be nominated by pri-
maries, every officer in Mcdowell
county would be a negro: that as
the matter now stands the white Re
publicans are able to deceive and
defraud the negroes in their coun-
ty convention and by throwing them
little sop in the way OF justices
OF the peace and constables, to keep
them In line; but IL the primary
election bill should become a law,
the negroes would absolutely con-
troll every nomination and the black
belt would have large majority of
negro offiolals-sheriffs, clerks and
OF county and circuit courts, asses
sors, prosecuting attorneys, county
commissioners, judges, senators and
representatives in the legislature.
This argument made with great
heat and fervor by the representa-
tives OF the Norfolk and Western
section prevailed with their broth
er Republicans in the legislature,
and was solely responsible for the
lefeat OF the primary bill. Now
will the Intelligent voter please an
alyze the proposition for a moment
The Republican party thus disfran-
| chises the negro in its own party,
refuses to allow him a voice in the
selection OF candidates of the Re-
publican party; and yet rolls its
eyes heavenward in pious horror
that the Democratic party should
attempt to withdraw the suffrage
privilege from the negro. Surely
IL the negro is not good enough, in
telligent enough, broad minded
enough and patriotic enough to
have a voice in the selection OF can
d.dates for office on the Republi-
can ticket, he is not good enough,
Intelligent enough, broad minded
enough or patriotic enough to have
a voice at the polls in choosing
whether the Republican candidate
or the Democratic candidate shall
hold that Characterization Ga
zette.

THERE STANDS NELSON II. AL
DRICH.

And yet there stands Nelson B.
Aldrich, like Teneriffe or Atlas, I'M
removed
Mr.. Foraker, of Ohio, he has
been repudiated because forsooth
he has been an attorney for the OIL
Trust and does not deny the con-
nection, but candidly asserts IL and
stands pat. But how about Nelson
B. Aldrich. OF Rhode Island, not in
aptly described by one OF his bog
raphers' as "the man who runs the
United States?"
Mr.. Aldrich is related to Stand
ard on by ties OF blood-money and
marriage. He is the father of John
ID. Rockefeller's daughter-in-law.
With this relationship no fault
could be found-sinoe young paople
will get married regardless of DO
litical considerations-but there Is
much fault to find with a chairman
or the senate committee on finance
who is VIGOROUSLY the representa-
tive Of Standard Oil and other
trusts in the upper branch OF con-
gress. Whether or not his adyoca-
cy Of the measures Endorsed by the
Oil Trust and other truss there

record he has made.

he leg!slates for the special inter
ests in a way That has proven a ma
tionaI scandal. He lis now defend
ing his record, indifferently. from
attacks that proceed from many
sources.
In the senate Mr.. Aldrich is the
master of ceremonies. He says
which bill shall lie and his senten-
ces are invariable executed. He has
never taken the trouble to defend
his record. Entrenched in the es-
TEEN of the Republican national
machine Mr.. Aldrich considers him
self an American Indifferent to crit
icism
In the event OF a Republican vic
tory, and in the event of the revis-
ion OF the tariff promised by Mr..
Iaft, Mr. Aldrich would be one of
the leading spirits in the revision.
No bill distasteful to him would be
allowed to become a law. Working
In conjunction with Mr.. Cannon
and Mr.. Dalzell in the house. Mr..
Aldrich would revise the tariff
Congress would merely ratify the
revision. How 1t would be revised
need not be told.
Mr. Foraker's worst enemy could
never say that he has been a sin
lister figure in the senate. Mr.. AL
drich's best friend could not sim
cerely say that ne has not Mr.. For
aker Is repudiated by Mr.. Taft. But
Mr. Taft would cheerfully turn
over to Mr.. Aldrich the most impor-
tant legislation and all of the leg
islation, that might CONE before
congress, in the event OF Repub-
hcan ory.-Courier-J Jurnal.

lists and accept additional registra-
tons, and nthat date their work
Is FINALLY COMPLETED.
3. IL you are not then registered,
you can only get your name on the

fore the county court in PRINCE
TON on october 26th.
4. II your name does not appear
on the registration book on election
day, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOW
ED TO VOTE. YOU CANNOT
SWEAR IN YOUR VOTE ON BLBC-
TON DAY, as has formerly been
possible.

But, in politics, line is too often
