nouncement OF Mr.. Fleming or that

the directors who were seen opposed
a proper write up" but nobody felt
that the paper could boost" him for
the place.
After the matter was gone over with
the directors the editor Of the West
Virginian went to Mr.. Fleming's Office
twice to see him or his son, but they
were not in and inquiry later by tele-
phone at the residence brought out
the information that they were both
out Of town. The arrival of the Man.
nlngton Record on No. 4 brought the
information that Mr.. Fleming had not
waited for the answer of the directors
Of the West virginian but that he had
fastened to the OIL City to get his
name in the paper there. When the
facts become known about the matter
we hardly think Mr.. Jennings appeal
for sympathy will either do him much
good or the West virginian much
harm. The "other side" Is always en-
titled to a hearing and the people are
Just enough to stand by the man who
is for a square deal. The West Vlr-
gilman has confidence enough in It's

easy concerning reports of unfair

GETTING together.

The Republican party is coming
together on those matters which
slightly divided it in the last cam.
paign, when two elements were not
in accord on tax reform. AS long
ago as the meeting of the State COM
mittee at Parkersburg there was a
burial at past differences between
the leaders of opposing opinions and
reestablishment Of former cordial
relations. This is a happy omen.
Indicative of the determination OF
Republicans all over the State to
present solid front to the enemy
this year. which lnsures a greater
victory than that recorded in 1904.
The tax reform scheme. which
some Republicans opposed. has been
accepted as fixed policy of the par
ty through the enactment of laws
bearing on more just distribution
OF the burdens of taxation. All OF
the candidates for nomination for
governor have announced their al
leglance to the laws now on the stat
ute books. and that IL elected they
will faithfully enforce them. With
these differences composed there is
no reason for any distracting con.
tentlon within the party, but on the
other hand cheerful prospect is
presented of every member Of the
organization working together in
harmony for the continuation of the
settled policies which have done, and
are doing so much for the hap
piness, contentment and prosperity
of the people-Morgantown Post.

m. FLEMINa,s HAsTY ACTION.


Hon. Thomas w. Fleming, of Fair
mont has very suddenly gotten into
the spotlight as candidate for the
Republican nomination for State Sem
ate. In doing so, Mr.. Fleming broke
faith with the editor of the West Vir'
girian and took what in our Judgment
81 very hasty and precipltate action.
no substantiate this claim statement
81 the facts IN the case will be given
Is clearly and definitely as we can
give them.
Yesterday a few minutes before
twelve o'clock Mr.. Fleming telephoned
the once Of the West yIrginian and
asked the editor If he could come over
70 Mr.. F1eming's ONCE. The answer
was given in the affirmative and in
FEN minutes he went over to the Office
Al Mr.. Fleming requested. After a
few words on other subjects, Mr.. Flem-
ing asked the price for announcements
ii the West virginian. He was told
TINT the matter of paid announcements
was wholly with the business office
and that the editor didn't know the
prices for the various Offices. Mr..
Fleming then stated that he desired to
announce as a candidate for State
Senate and in addition that he would
like to have a write up" In the news
81 editorial columns. This is the rock
ipon which the split up-came. The
editor told Mr.. Fleming that he knew
fno other way OF doing things except
onsthe square and in the open and then
Tecited to him that Mr.. George NJ. ia.
c6bs, president OF the West virginian
snhlishing Company. had stated not
long ago that so far as he had any
thing TO say as to the policy OF the
West Virginian 1t could not be used
@ further the political interests of
Nj. Fleming in securing nomination
Tor once, but would on the other hand
oppose his candidacy. 1t is not nee
essary to relate here why Mr.. Jacobs
had this feeling toward Mr.. Fleming,
hut Mr.. Fleming knew Of their differ.
ences and he'd known all about them
Tor months After stating the position
~ MI. Jacobs on the matter, the editor
told Mr. Fleming that he would take
up the question of the write up and
attitude Of the paper toward his can
didacy with the directors of the West
Nifginian Publishing Company and
Zee what course they thought best to
pursue. Mr.. Fleming and his son
thought that was fair and seemed to
be satisfied and said they would like
ln5haye an answer In the afternoon II
the airectors could be seen. Two of
the Electors were out Of town and
an that could be reached were asked

FLEMING did not wait for an answer.

That the West virginian had refused

FALSE REPORTS.

1t is an old saying that you have to
go away from home to get the news.
That seems to be true in regard to
alleged opposition in Marion cornty
to the nomination of Congressman
Hubbard for n second term. as notet
by Charles Brooks Smith in last Sun
days Pittsburg Dispatch. AS mat
ter Of fact such opposition does not
exist here among the members of tie
county committee or elsewhere. The
same committee that endorsed Mr.. Hub
bard two years ago is in Office at the
present time and there has been NJ
thought OF Its being for any other
candidate. All reports going out from
any place to the effect that there is
organized or any other kind of oppo.
sftIon to Mr.. Hubbard in Marion county
is absolutely false and that fact can
be proven very easily by anyone who
cares to make an Investigation Of the
matter. 1t certainly can do no one
else any good for such reports to bc
circulated and when the facts are
known they can do Mr.. Hubbard no
harm, hence the futillty of their circu-
lation. Mr.. Hubbard and his friends
need have no worry us to any formid-
able opposition to him in Marion coun
ty for he is held in too high esteem
by our people for any such opposition

Mr.. Foraker frankly says that he

Brownsville, not because he can do
any good, or vindicate the negro SOL
diers, but because he purposes to do
everything in his power to incite the

are foolish enough to believe that this
man is their friend.
