THE NEGRO PLANKS

We do not believe there is n
white man in the southern portion
Of West Virginia who is oppos i to
me democratic plat ,orm on the
jim Crow" law. None of the pa
pers have had the temer!ty to come
IF the Democratic platform. At
heart every white man would be
glad to see this plank of the Dem
1cratic platform become law.
The Daily Telegraph is in favor
Of this plank. We say this because
II pers silently refuses to say that
t is against it; and we are conf
lent that If the editor of that pa
Der were against the plank in the
democratic platform he would not
leS tate to so declare. The sam
is true of all other Republican pa
pers in the southern portion of the
state. Not one OF them has de-
clared against the plank declaring
hat the whites and blacks SHOULD
ride in separate coaches.
The Democratic party has hal
IN courage OF its convictions. For
political reasons the Republ can
party would not oppose the negro
t is willing to sacrifice principle
or policy. While at heart the
white Republicans would be delight
I'd to see the negro planks in the
Democratic platform become a law
yet 1T is too much afraid of offend
ng the negro to assert it's convic-
ions.

THE DOOM OF THE MACHINE

Some years ago. when William
NJ. o. Dawson became chairman o,
the Republican state committee. he
Immediately applied himself to tn,
task of building up a political ma
chine. His reward was the fat of
fec OF secretary of state under Gov.
ernor Atkinson, where his duties
were not so onerous as TO interfere
with his further activities toward
the Strengthening OF the organiza-
ton which has since dominated
West Virginia politics. The ma
chine dictated the nomination of A
IL. White for governor. and he was
elected and Dawson retained h's
sinecure.
BY 1904 the machine had become
so powerful, so selfish, arrogant
and dictator'a1. that it was able to
sweep aside opposition to Dawson
who was nominated for governc,r
in the memorable Wheeling conven
ton, notorious for its abuse of pre-
cedent and Application of steam
'oll2r methods Charlie Swisher
became the secretary Of state. and
when the time arrived for another
election, the now thoroughly cor
rupt machine declared for Sw.sher
The methods by which Swisher was
Forced upon the party as its can
didate have been so thoroughly and
so effectively exposed that a mere
reference to them will suffice.
The national Republican commit
teH. to whom the dispute OF the fac.
tions was referred, has decided in
favor OF the Swisher ticket. Wheth.
er or not the Lincoln candidate
withdraws, the result in West Viz
ginia will be the same. Decent Re.
publicans have determined to re-
Duke the machine by electing Ben.
nett and the entire Democratic
state ticket Several thousand OF
them were so minded four years
ago, when Dawson was saved ONLY
by the popularity of Roosevelt
SWsher could not have been elect
ed If the court house convention
was not held the split lin the party
will only serve to increase the Ben
nett majority. Swisher is recog-
nized as the candidate by the ma
chine, and right minded Republi-
cans are against thA machine

BRYAN AT WHEELING

Inc ovation which Hon. w. J
Bryan received at Wheeling yester-
lay is significant. He spoke in a
republican stronghold, almost in
he shadow of the great steel trust
nd just across the river from Ohio.
let in this Republican stronghold
lie was cheered to the echo. Mr..
3ryan was in West Virginia in each
II his other campaigns. but in no
Instance was the same enthusiasm
jhown.
His speech last night showed the
inconsistency of Mr.. Taft's attitude
conducting campaign on a plat
orm so obnoxious that he was fore
ID to patch it up from time to time.
That portion of his speech on the
abor question ilNcitcd much ap-
plause. He told the people that
hey now had an object lesson of
whether a high protective tariff
md Republican administration
would assure prosperity. This
evoked applause from hundreds of
ormer steel trust employees who
were without work.
Mr.. Bryan is stronger than ever
before. His opponent has been on
he defensive since his nomination.
Ie has patched and repatched the
Republican platform from time to
time. lie has been forced to admit

al patronage at his back. His own
ability and worth has made him
