West Virginia has put herself on
record as instructing her delegates to
vote for Hon. VIM. II. Taft at the
Chicago convention for the nomina-
tion for president of the United
States. In so doing the convention
at Parkersburg only voiced the great
Taft sentiment that abounds in every
section of the state. West Vir-
ginians can always be relied upon to
be in the vanguard of any great ma
tional movement. 1t was freely pre-,
dicted several months ago that Sen
ator Elkins and Senator Scott were
both opposed to Mr.. Taft as the pres
idential nominee, but the Taft senti-
ment completely sflenced them into
submission. Thus the common peo-
pie still have a voice in declaring
who our delegates shall support for
the nomination of the greatest office
within the gift of the people.

III has only been very short time
since the democrats were crying
about the great Roosevelt panic
which was sweeping over the entire
country. Now that nearly every
large manufacturing industry has
again started up on full time, we do
not hear of such alarming statements
about the condition of the working
man. The truth is, that the country
is prosperous, and the great majority
of the people are happy and content
ed. That stocks deprecated in value
there is no question, but conditions
with which the people are perfectly
familiar brought about the decline in
certain values. But now all stocks
are again on the increase, and work
can be had by those who are earnest
Nv seeking it. Who is then willing
to trust the democratic party with the
reins of government and experience a
repetition of the panic of 1904? Not
many.

President Roosevelt has sent sew

within the last few weeks, and it is
said that they have not been given
the consideration which they deserV
ed. The President was extremely
anxious that congress provide for four
battleships a year, but the older mem
bers of the senate thought that two
such ships per year would be suili-
cient. and this was then determined
upon. In this the president was sat
isfed. Brt some of his other recon-
mendations were completely ignored.
The truth is that the president wants
CONGRESS 10 pass certain bills so that
the party can go before the people

members OF congress are too busy with
securing their nomination that they
