Camnnign ContributIons.

In speaking upon the issue of pub
LEFTY of campaign contributions. the
Hon. Seth Low, of New York. in his
able and scholarly address in the
court house here a few nights ago,
pointed out that the real meat of the
matter was not so much concerning
the seErce OF the contributions as it
was Die use Of them in the cam
paign. The publication this week of
the amount of their campaign fund
by the Democratic national commit
tee and the contributors of sums of
$500 and more. Will again bring
sharply to mind the actual stand OF
the Republicans and the Democrats
on this question which has been the
subject OF such loud mouthings by
the foam splitting Bryan.
Announcement has been made by
members of the Democratic national
committee that the campaign contri-
buttons would he made public this
week, along with the statement that
the total sum TO that time was little
more than two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars. vt is not expect
ed that this statement issued by the
Democratic national committe will
be u sworn one. Neither is publ
cation OF the expenditures of this
campaign fund looked for. II It Is,

the cost OF the fiscal year, ssCn the

will be no deficiency, for the IegIsla-

tenn and the election of Democratic
tax dodger as governor would surely
be 1.-THE best authority the Tele-
gram can think of for expecting de-
ficiencies, besides which Governor
MacCorkle's debt-creating proclivities
would fade into insignificance. The
public will not make the mistake OF
electing Democratic governor on the
plea that they would avoid deficien-
cy or would thus remedy one.

The year before the Republican tax
reform laws went into effect in West
Virginia, the public service corpor-
atoms paid $515,547.22 in taxes on
the property they owned and held in
the state. This year the public SER
vice corporations paid into the state
treasury. and the proportionate
amounts were distributed among the
counties as required by law, $685.

SOS>76. But, the Democrats say this
Is wrong. that the big public service
corporations should not be required
to pay such large taxes. Evidently
they prefer the burden of the states
taxes to fall back upon the smaller
property owners as under the old
Democratic regime.

The Virginia Debt.

The Virginia debt matter is one
used campaign after campaign by the
Democrats to ride into power, but is
a steed that never lands that party
near the threshold of victory. The
record of the Republican party In
West Virginia is full of pages of re-
sistance to the payment of the debt
or any part of it. the position being
taken at all times that this state
owes none of 1t. Democrats inten-
tionalIy overlook this record and re-
sort to SANDER and insinuations,
without the slightest foundation. The
Democratic nominee for congress in
the second district even went SO far
as to intimate that United States
Senator Stephen B. Elkins was be-
hind the present litigation and that
he had some of the certificates. Sen
ator Elkins not only denies having
any OF them but he also calls atten-
ton to the fact that he has ever been
and is now opposed to paying any
part of the debt
Candidate Bennett tries hard to
drag the Virginia. debt into politics.
1t Is all the fault of Republicans that
Virginia has sued us; for the Mother
State never would have done so had
west virginia reuldlHSu OS4HOCi eb4S'
Candidate Bennett thinks the debt
should he ''amlcably settled out of
court and taken out of the hands of
the United States Supreme Court by
some sort of hook or crook. Nearly
all cranks and grafters have this pc
culiar view. But in the mean time
West Virginia will be slow to believe
that Mr.. Bennett can make success
full politics out of the matter, though
like most slanderers he insinuates
that some silent Influences" are at
work which only sprang into life
when Democracy with a heavy defic-
iency and strained credit gave up
West Virginia to the party of pros
perity and the party which admins
ters public trusts with fidelity and
courage. and whose honesty cannot be
successfully impeached.

Democrntlc scare-Crow.

Democratic campaign stumpers and
newspapers without warrant by sta
tistics of the state or otherwise en-
gage themselves in the deception of
trying to persuade the people that
the state government is to become
They do this without fur
nishing any proof or a single accurate
figure to substantiate what they say.
Even Candidate Bennett in his key
note" utters the following prediction:
I'm spite of our large increased
revenues, these expenses have outrun
them, and we are informed from the
best of authority that at the end of
this fiscal year there will be large
deficit for the people to make good"
This would be sad, II true. Every

1t is of course quite natural and
human for Louis Bennett to get out
of paying taxes on his thousands of
acres of lands as much as possible,
but it certainly does take cheek and
gall for him to get out on the public
platform and demand it.

fleet cruise around the world. The en-

Sperry and his men by New Zealand
