THAT PRINCETON LETTER
Blueheld. May 25th.

Blueheld. May 25th.
Mr. Editor:-
Princeton correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph dishes out abont
tn most astonishing bit OF political
dope | have ever seen. Processing
to quote a man OF Democratic pro-
clivities. he says that the Democrats
are greatly disappointed that the
Republicans did not nominate a
dry man for county commissioner
In order that the Democrats might
nominate a wet one and bid for the
saloon vote. He argues that the
Republicans having slapped the
temperance people in the face and
made their bid for the saloon vote.
the Democrats are denied the priv
ilege(D OF doing the same. He
says they (the Democrats) are now
trying to arrange for the nomina-
ton OF a candidate who will be
dry" in the county and wet" In
town, or in other words one who
has been recognized as a sort OF dry
man. but who grant licenses to ap-
plicants coming from Bluefield with
councilpermits. This would be
impossible. however, for the Repub-
lican ringsters long ago had that
idea copyrighted. and would imme-
diately enjoin the Democrats from
using it.
After stating ID. II. Barger and j.
A. b. Bruce for the legislature, he
tells the public what consummate
scamps they are in the following
language: y
For the house OF delegates they
will have men who will vote for the
submission to a vote OF the people
OF a prohibition amendment to the
constitution provided their party is
in the minority in the legislature,
but it is not believed that should an
understanding be had with the
'wets" that any agreement can be
reached whereby their legislators
would vote for the amendment If
there was a Democratic majority in
the legislature" We can see Bruce
and Barger voting against the sub
mission of the amendment after TAX
ing pledge to vote for It, o, yes,
they are that kind of men and the
public could not trust them. Does
any one believe such rot?
Your correspondent has made APP
plication to Webb Hale for the posi-
ton OF private secretary when he
gets to congress through the aid Of
the gang who beat him for county
commissioner with Davis Thorn.
Mr.. Hale is no doubt greatly impress
sed with this cheap bid for his sup
port of the ticket. Mr.. Hale was
not candidate for the nomination
and was not greatly disappointed
but 1t is safe to say that be will not
canvass the school districts of the
county in favor of the election Of
Mr.. Thorn, whose record as a mem
Der OF the court Is certainly not the
kind of record Mr.. Hale would have
made
The able support OF the Daily Tel
egraph will elect the county repub-
lican ticket by 4 unanimous vote, ]
