vitals of the Democratic party for
years and all this time the Republi-
can party in West Virginia has been
growing stronger. McGrawism. 1t is
declared by members of the Demo

thrown Off, torn out and completely
extIrpated before the Democratic
party can hope to have life and

The Democratic mouthpiece seems
very well satisfied with its solution OF

has spent years assailing the courts,
but the News goes him one better by

words, it wants to make the impress

are not in the legal frateruity's code.
