Exposes Republi can Exsraxau>nee

Elkins, w. Va, Oct. 15-Hon, Louis
Bennett, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, addressed one of the largest
gatherings of his campaign tonight at
the opera house, speaking for more
than an hour on the issues of the CAM
paign. Other speakers were Hon.
Henry G. Davis, who presided; 1. 3.
Bush, candida for superintendent
Of schools, and Hon. Benton Childers,
of Ohio.
Mr. Bennett devoted considerable
time to an arraignment of the Repuh-
lican administrations since 1896 CLAIM
ing that under Democratic rule only
100000 was raised from taxation,
while under Republican rule this had
grown to over three million. This
money he claimed, had been expended
not for thegosd of the people bat on
unnecessary offices created under the
Republican regime, pointing out that
| the senate attaches alone had grown
| Ia number from Ii ia 1898 and 1895, to
| 1l7-four to every senator. The ex-
penses of the attorney generals Office,
he said, had been multiplied ten times
since 1895. None Of this money had
gone toward the improvement of state
institutions which were SO badly in
need Of repair that Gov. Dawson six
months ago proposed to sell bends for
their improvement. He charged that
the state now had deficit of three or
four Thousand dellsrs.
He also charged that Glasscock had
been selected at a meeting at the home
of Senator Elkins by coterie of tho
state ring and that it was futile for any
Republican to aspire to be governor
unless he belonged to the state ring

Hon. B. II. Hiner, the democratic
candidate for Congress in this district
came to Berkeley county on Monday
almost total stranger but suddenly
sprang int popular favor. During his
short stay here he won not only the
confidence and respect OF our people
but their affections. His speeches nave
been revelation TO Berkeley county.
His eloquence, his ability and whole
hearted cordiality form rare cembln-
alton and one that is bound to be APP
preciatsd by the people. His speeches
while strong and to the point were
conservative aud unoffensive even to
the republicans. He has shown the
democracy that it has made no mis-
take in selecting him as its standard
bearer and to the republicans that he
is q foreman worthy Of their steel
Whether he be elected or not we
solemnly predict that Ben Hiner Is
going to be heard from. He is com
ing man.

The democrats of the good old county
OF berkeley have renominated Hon.
A. - Noll, of Martinsburg, for COM
mon wealth's attorney. He has already
served one term with absolute fidelity
to the people of that county and to the
state. The peace, quiet and safety of
com munity largely depends on the
fairness, fidelity and ability of the
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Noll is a
graduate of the West Virginia Univer-
sity, and for years was law partner
OF ID. G. Westenhaver. We have
heard more or less comment on The
way Mr.. Noll has managed this i'm

man belonging to such people cannot
do wrong. Mr.. Noll has great MANY

quently heard it said that he is one. of
the few who dispatches business with
great rapidity and loyalty.
The chance to vote for such man
does not come too often these days.
Loyal to his friends, impartial in the
management Gof his office and ever
keeping In view the ethics of his pro-
fession malice and bias and graft have
no hold on him.
The good people of Berkeley ought
to elect such man without question
and without fear.-BerkeIey Spring

Kanawha county has long claimed
the distinction of having the only
"Hog Combine" in the stale but She
is all wrong. Berkeley can beat her, In
the exclusiveness of the membership.
The "Hog Combine" Of Kanawha has
been changing in personnel while in
Berkeley Me, Alex and Ed have held
sway without interruption for twelve
years. They have raked in something
over 100000 in salaries during that
time and will continue to hold on If
Fate is reelected. 1t is under
stood that Charles Peter Light VINO
has been producing those heavy edito-
r;aIs Of the Jim Crow column IL the
Evening journal, will be rev. rded by
a position in the Taft Cabinet, thus
adding one more to the Hog Combine.

Are the people of West Virginia
going to rule or let Elkins rule? The
Lincoln republicans have Withdrawn
their ticket but they could not with
any self respect endorse the candidacy
of Glasscock. They have bsen asserting
that it was not che personal character
of Swisher they opposed so much as
the Elk ins ring rule and while Swish
er has been Withdrawn the Elklng
ring has selected Glasscock to take his
place on the ticket and the whole pro-
eeding had been under the direct cen.
troll of Elkins. The election of Glass
cock means that the Elkins machine
will continue to control the state and
that Elkins will continue to boss the
whole business.

Mr.. Charles Peter Light has been
weeping crocodile tears over the poor
negro because the wicked democrats
have declared ia favor Of the di-fran-
chisement Of the negro in West Viz
ginia, but in spite of all we can say
we have been unable to get him to
saw one word about the Jim ROW car
plank. Is he in favor Of Jim Growing
the negroes on the trains in the church
es, in the schools, theatres and else
where and not at the polls? 1t seems
that way. That shows how transpar-
ent his and the pref nses OF the re-
publican party ison the negro ques-
ton They are willing to Jim Crow
him everywhere excepting atthe polls
and would favor but that they get his
vote In other words, as we have often
tried 10 convince the colersd people,
the only use in the world the republi-
cans have for them is to get their
votes.
Will Charles Peter please inform his
readers where his great and big
friend stand on the question Of negro
enfran chisement? Let US see what the
Baltimore Sun, which has become the
blacklist republican newspaper in the
country since the better days OF aboli-
ton SAYS of Taft and white supre-
macy:
"The claim that Mr.. Taft's election
would jeopsrdize white supremacy In
the South is the verie It absurdity.
We have had twelve years of republl
can administration at Washington
four years of Mckinley and eight OF
Roesevelt-and not single line fas
been struck frem the statute book OF
any Southern -tats. Mr.. TAFT virtual
ly recognized, in tive speeches tive
years ago in North Carolina and Ken
| lucky, the necessity Of the Southern
suffrage arrangement, and there Is alb
solutely not the slightest reason tt
fear that he would favor any interfer-
| SHCc Win lOSal SSNS' NM ~ " ~
Souts. In fact the south has more to
fear in this direction from an alliance
with the radical negroes who are sup
porting MIR. Bryan and whose avowe(
purpose is, in their own language, "t'
wlps out tie color line" What reason
they have for supposing that they car
do this better through NJ. Bryan thai
through Mr. Taft we do not undertaN'
to say Just now, but evidently IN e
have their own reasons or they woul
not be found supporting the candid at
of a party 10 which they lave hithert
been extremely hostile"
Now will Charles Peter further dt
fend his positionIor will he endorse III

The republicans of Berkeley county
have decided that boss rule must come
to an end. They think that when a
man holds office for twelve years at a
princely salary he ought to be satisfied
without running the whole party and
bossing the nominations OF all the
candidates on the ticket. That is ma
chine politics. we care not what party
it may be iu,itlis an insult to the intel
iigent and respectable voters of that
party and deserves the rebuKe of the
voters.

Ii is astonishing that with all the
tender love and affection OF the repub-
lican politicians for the negro that
there has not been one of them who
has had the courage to condemn the
proposition of a jim crow ear law.Have
Won heard one of them say word
against it? Has our friend Charles
Peter Light come to the defense of his
poor colored brother in this matter?
From the tears he has been shedding
over the loss of the negro's vote one
would he forced to say: Behold how
he loves him. But be does not.

Senator Beveridge, one OF the radl-
cal Republicans in the upper house al
Washington, said in speech opening
the indiana campaign:
"Before President Tafrs adml-1stra-
ton is one year old we shall END the
abuse of the injunction to labor dis
mites. There are those whs declare
that the lower to enjoln has never
been abused; workingmen know it, the
whole people know it, These abuses
are not many, but there have been
enough of them to prove the evil, to
arouse n sense of I'M Justice in the breast
of labor, to create unrest throughout
the nation.
"Every man should have his day In
court-thls is the first great maxim OF
law-made liberty and liberty-nade
law. When the meanest man beneath
our flag is denied that right the lepub-
liz ceases. to be free. No injunction
should issue without notice; aud once
issued it should speedily be heard.
81 introduced bill at the last ses-
sion providing for these funaamen-
tails; it will be enacted into law by the
next Congress"
This is precisely opposite to the de-
elaration made by Taft on the inJunc'
ton proposition and ought to be quite
a Jolt to the father of injunctions.
Senator Beveridge's speech In some
resnects in one of the most remarkable
of the cam paign. The Republican plat
form declared in favor of legalizine
the Injunction practice and Taft has
vigorously defeadsd that plank In the
platform.
The Dem ocratic national platform
declared against the Injunction ane
promised legislation to prevent III
abuse in the future. Now comes BeV
er,dge, enc of the leaders OF the reform
element In the Republican party, re
pu dating his patty platform and TIN
views of his party candidate and de
claring himself in sympathy with tn
Dem ocratic platforms and the views o
the Democratic candidate.
