To Organized Labor.

Nowhere in the Democratic state
platform can be found a single word
expressing the belief of that party
that the laborlng men have right
to organize. Every laborer, who
does not accept this, should scan the
platform for himself and he will
then be fully convinced of the truth
fulness of the assertion just made.
On the other hand there stands
out boldly in the Republican state
platform the declaration that the
workingman has undoubted right to
organize. The Republican party in
West Virginia recognizes that right
and does not hesitate to say SO.
AS party policies and principles are
those expressed in platforms which
are accepted as the basis for official
action, union labor may readily see
which political party is its friend in
this state. Union labor need not go
beyond this action, into details and
other issues of the two parties, in
which the Republican party does
more for 1t than the Democratic par
ty, to fully make up its mind which
is its friend.

The Morgantown Republican gives
a splendid lesson on party fealty and
party perfidy in the following para
graph, and from the examples men
toned therein the small list of men,
who are trying to disrupt the Repub-
lican party may well feel ashamed of
themselves and their course:
According to the enemies of the
party this year Judge Nathan Golf.
who generously furnished the state
Republican committee quarters free
of charge in Clarksburg. is wrong in
wishing his party success this fell.
Ex-Governor Atkinson, our first Gov
ernor since the days of Democracy,
he too is drong in espousing the
cause of his party ticket in this state.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins is also
wrong, very wrong. and Senator Ma
than Bay Scott is wrong, and Hon.
George G. Sturgiss is wrong for being
nominated by a straight Republican
convention. and William II. Taft is
wrong, and everybody is wrong but
these men who set up a NEW party.
Thousands of prominent men in West
Virginia, whose Republicanism has
never been questioned, are WRONG,
according to the boilers, and THEY,
only are right.
1t depends somewhat upon whose
OK is gored.

ton, or in any wise regulate or pro-
hlbit or restrict the traffic by law,
were It voted into power.
In truth, the Democratic party as
1t stands today as shown by the Davis
utterance and the platform straddle
does not regard the liquor question
OF any moment in this state and,
consequently accepts the present Re-
publican laws on the subject as ample
and sufficient. At least for party
expediency that is the impression 1t
desires to make.
But, there is duplicity OF action,
made plain by the action OF the party
In the selection of men for the legis-
lature. This duplicity was clearly
established here a few weeks ago,
and this one instance Is sufficient to
convince Telegram readers Of it.
when Goodloe Jackson, an avowed
Prohibitionist was chosen by the
Democratic senatorial convention as
nominee for the state senate, and
without any platform or declaration
of principles and policies by the con-
ventlon. r
In this case the purpose is to use
the reputation of the nominee as a
Prohibitionlst to win the prohibition
and temperance vote, and to seek
the liquor support through the alb
sence Of any platform declaration
against the liquor traffic or on the
question, whatever. II
These and other features OF the
action of Democracy and Its leaders
reveal to every mind the double
game Democracy is attempting on
the people, and the cat is really no
longer in the bag, nor is the bill OF
rights clause in the state platform
longer puzzle.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1908-08-06
Almost Let the Cat Out.

Notwithstanding the puzzle the
Democratic state convention put in
its platform as to the prohibition
question, John w. Davis, one of the
Democratic leaders from this coun-
ty, almost let the cat out of the bag,
when in placing the name of Thomas
IL. Hodges before the convention for
governor, he uttered these words:
You ask me whether he Is ex-
treme on the temperance question,
and l answer You that he is tenn
perance man, but a temperate man
as we'll; that he is temperate in his
temperance views, nor does he be-
lieye that prohibition is or should be
made tenet of the Democratic creed
He denies to no man the right to
think and act for himself: nor would
he as executive ever invade the
province of the legislature to seek to
coerce them to any policies of his
own"
The liquor question, 1t is noticed,
Is one the Democrats are touching on
very lightly and in some instances
they areSshunning it altogether, in
deed, running away from 1t.
The reference made by Davis as to
the attitude and belief of the candi-
date whom he hoped to see nominat-
ed. 1t is lorical to believe. was in.
spired by desire to appeal strongly
to the sentiment of the convention
and Davis must have been cognizant
of the attitude of his party on the
question. else he would not have
made this half apology for his can,
didate or compromised him as one
willing to violate his convictions
which are known to be quite pro
nounced, for party expediency.
In the utterance for his candidat,
that he did not believe prohibition i
or should be made tenet of tn
Democratic creed, Davis, in connec
ton with the fact that the platform
attempts TO completely mystify o.
this subject. clears up the plank t
a certain extent. that is, to say. hi

Prominent Democrats speaking of
the anti-Negro plank in their stale
platform say that 1t took the conven-
ton by surprise, when 1t was read
and would have been smothered in
the resolutions committee room, had
the convention known what was DO
ing. But, after it was read, there
was nothing else to do but finally
adopt 1t as the poison had been
spread by the publicity of its being
read and the fact that the committee
on resolutions had approved 1t. 1t
IVES slip that even Democrats real
ize will develop into a gulf for the
Democratic party.

State Rights Buncombe.

One of the biggest bits OF bum
combe the Bryanocracy blandly blows
about is this fossilized question Of
state rights, a question settled long
years ago and laid on the shelf by
the American people, but now again
dragged out into the light by the
sons of an unregenerate political or
ganization for the purpose OF using
1t as a shield to cover up that party's
lncapacity to grapple with the live
governmental questions of the day.
Although open to differences of
opinion afterward, this question Of
state rights was determined in the
days of the American nations in
fancy. The imperative necessity of
a constitutional centralized govern
ment was made apparent in the
years intervening the adoption OF the
Articles of Confederation and the es-
tablishment OF the Constitution of
the United States. The Articles of
Confederation were inadequate for
their purpose. The federated gov
eminent provided by them was not
much more than mere agency for
the legislature of the states and its
powers were abridged and checked
to such an extent that 1t could de
clare everything, but do nothing"
Confusion in the administration of
affairs resulted and external rela-
tons, then of very significant and
important character, could not be
transacted with system and dispatch.
1t did not take American citizens
long to grasp fully the situation and
to realize the inefficacy OF the exist
ing government, and, finally, through
their representatives, they established
and ordained a constitution for the
United States of America State
rights, so far as the national govern
ment was concerned, was settled then
and there. as subsequent events
proved.
Later on when the slavery ques-
ton agitated the people of the North
and the South, the question of state
rights, or state sovereignty, was
again .broughtsto the front, but 1t was
finally settled decisively by strife and
bloodshed in tho awful war between
the states; and now we know that the
supreme authority and sovereignty
of the nation is derived from the
constitution, to which Its national
powers were delegated by the states
comprised in the union.
When the constitution was adopted
"all rights of the states as independ
ent nations were surrendered to the
United States. They are sovereign.
within their spheres, but their SOW.
ereignty stops short of nationality

The New Paper.

The Telegram and all other Repub-
lican newspapers in the State of West
Virginia rejoice with the Republican
party that that grand old county OF
Monongalia, whose loyalty to the par
ty of Lincoln, Garfield, Mckinley and
Roosevelt. never in history wore a
blotch of treachery or cast the
shadow of a doubt, has again Re-
publican newspaper after many
months, during which the party was
betrayed and plotted against by those
processing the faith. but in reality
traitors to the cause and rebels in the
camp.
The occasion for this rejoicing is the
appearance of the Morgantown Re-
publican, a new newspaper, which an
nounces Its purpose to be to uphold
and advance the cause of the Repub-
lican party in especially the county
of Monongalia, and the first numbers
are full OF the party doctrine such as
Archie Campbell wrote in his day.
That it is sound in doctrine and has
only the good of the Republican par
ty at heart politically none who read
Its pages can doubt, and ringing with
true Republication all Monongalia
county can but rejoice that it is fav-
ored again with the political gospel
OF It's long and glorious political life.
Such soundness of political ideas
and such true championship of the
faith of the political party that has
made this country great assuredly
wipe every vestige of sadness and
doubt from the hosts there who have
never been known to be other than
steadfast In the Republican faith and
whose ballots have rolled up mag
nificent majorities in that county.
And. on the other hand such eS-
positions and advocates OF the true
Republican faith as the Morgantown
Republican contains can but strike
terror to the hearts of the traitors,
the selfish pretenders, the self-ap-
pointed and seld-annointed Destroy
ers of the Republican party and the
Democratic heart, too, is rended by
the knowledge that the true preach
ing of the true Republican creed in
that county will restore the Repub-
lican party to its rightful heritage
and position In that county.
The fact that Edward NJ. Her
mans, writer of renown even be-
yond his own state, an able advocate
of the Republican party and its prin-
clples. a man who puts party welfare
above personal interests, one who is
versed on the issues of the day and
has the ability to express himself
fuently and convincingly, is the
editor of the new paper guarantees a
service that will bring about the US
ual glorious Republican victory in
Monongalia county. The bright, up
to-date mechanical appearance of the
paper is also matter upon which to
congratulate the promoters and fur
nishcs guarantee that that county
Is hereafter to have in the Republican
newspaper creditable to its people.
