The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-03-13


The Grafton sentinel makes the sol5
loving comment on q cons
siderable interest n this county:
The Republicans OF the First con-
gressionaI district would certainly be
acting very unwiseIy and ill'advisediy
II they should fail to renomlnate the
Hon. w. P. Hubbard for reelection
TO congress from that district. The
FIRST hrs seldom had a bigger man
IN congress- thsn Hubbard. He is a
credit intellectually to the State.
West Virginia is ably represented at
Washington. especially the northern
end Of the State. Hubbard and Stur-
glss rank with the leaders Of the par
ty in the national law-makIng body.
1t is therefore with regret that Re
publicans in other sections Of the
state learn that there should be any
organized or active opposition
brought out against the present able
representative from that district be-
fore he has served even half Of his
first term. Such movement is un.
usual under such circumstances.

REPUBLICANS IN HARMONY.

For the first time in several years,
the Republicans in all the wards Of
the city are united on and satisfied
with the candidates for council. 1t
has so happened that some sort OF
mixup seemed unavoidable in other
years and good Republicans felt ag-
grieved and ready to scratch the tick.
ct. At most any time little groups Of
the dissatisfied could be seen on the
street corners or in the stores going
over the situation and saying that they
couldn't support the ticket This year
things are different. The Democrats
are getting scant comfort out of Re-
publican disafectton and as a conse-
quence their campaign is tagging
What is true of the wards Is equally
true ms to the head OF the ticket. There
was NO cry of fraud in the primary this
year and the will of the people was ac-
cepted as the party's dictum, conse-
quently a united party stands behind
Or. I. o. McNeely and there seems
scarcely a doubt that he will carry
every ward in the city by majorities
ranging from fifty to one hundred.
The Democrats shot their big wad
about city finances in their scare crow
resolutions but the people have gotten
used TO the sound OF the Democratic
Calling gun and pay no more atten-
ton 10 It than II 1t were a small
bunch OF fire crackers. When people
remember that the city water works
alone are worth more than the entire
Indebtedness OF the town and recall
the fact that the city has an assessed
valuation OF about $11 100000. they
refuse to become excited at Demo
cratic noise. II an individual, firm or
other sort Of CORPORATION having prop
erty with an assessed valuation OF
$11 900, 900 had 100000 of bonded in
debtedness, how many people would
count that nearing bankruptcy? 1t is
really silly to talk OF such things Sc
riously to people who know anything
about financing great enterprises. A
coal company or street railway, for in
stance. with property assessed at SILL
100000 would certainly be considered
in fine shape II it had no more than
$500, 900 in bonds standing against it.
When people think on these things,
they feel that Democrats are Demo-
Gratis and that 1t doesn't do to listen
to them in city affairs any more than
In county, statae or national affairs.
They are all tarred with the same
stick and most Republicans are be-
coming aware OF that fact.

Among the Editors
Frank e. Fleming.

Another name is added to the list
of sherihalty contestants the an.
nouncement of Frank E. Fleming,
which appears in to-days issue of The
Post. Mr.. Fleming is fully equipped
for the Office through a practical ex.
perience gained in business pursuits.
He was born near Fairmont and raised
upon a farm. For the past nine years
he has resided in Morgantown. and en-.
joys the respect and confidence of the
community. His present occupation
is that Of travelling salesman which
has given him an opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with the people OF
the county.
A good sheriff must necessarily be
a good collector, and in this respect
Mr.. Fleming has perfected himself
through his business calling. He has
never held or sought public office, and
enters this contest as life long Re
publican and with elements of fitness
for the position he seeks, merits that
are sure to attract the attention of the
citizens and voters of Morgantown and
Monongalla county. = Morgantown

col. POWELL.

The Grafton Republican makes note
of recent visitor to its city as fol-
lows:
Hon. Lamar C. Powell. of Fairmont
big. genial, honest able Lamar -
was in the city yesterday shaking
hands with number of his close pc.
lltlcal friends. To Daily Republican
reporter Mr.. Powell divulged the fact
that he may yet become candidate
for the State Senate from this district.
There are already three or four can
dldates-four we believe-but should
Mr.: Powell enter these four will have
to keep a sharp lookout or the big
man. will walk of with their laurels.
Mr.. Powell has served his county in
the House of Delegates. and in very
able manner. too. and has also held
other Offices Of Importance in and
about Fairmont. He has many friends
and is quite popular here in Taylor
county: also, We believe. throughout
the district.

rRouRLEs Of ms own.

Our Democratic neighbor, the Times,
is having trouble to keep off the po-
litical rocks these days. The Demo
cratic campaign managers are max
ing 1t be good and that Is such a novel
experience for that heretofore noisy
sheet at city election time that 1t
doesn't know what to make OF it. 1t
started in on cartoon service against
the Republican party, but the Demo
cratic managers promptly notified the
editor or whoever runs the paper,
that such course wouldn't do, for the
Democrats had to get ut least 200 Re-
publican votes to win, so gum shoe
methods wei" to be used. Then a
story was started as to a big scheme
Charley Hawkins and Clark Walker
had up their sleeve, whereby Hawkins
was to succeed McNeely as council
man when the place became vacant
by McNeely's election and Clark Walk
or was to be made Chief OF Police.
The whole thing was pure fiction and
Is SO branded by all the parties con-
cerned. So our neighbor has lost out
again. 1t is hard to tell what It will
drum up next but OF one thing we can
rest assured It won't abuse the Repub-
lican party any for it's afraid to and
under orders to keep mum. That GER
taInly is CALLING to certain people con-
nected with the Times whose chief
method OF campaigning is abuse of Re-
publicans and Republican policies. 1t
is question whether they can keep the
muzzle on much longer or not, even
II 1t does endanger Democratic sue
cess, for 1t Is so hard for some people
to be good.
