The election will coon be with
us. The right of every voter to
cast his vote just as he sees the
situation is the highest privilege
that an American Citizen enjoys.
because voting is government
itself, and therefore. every one
should be patriotic enough to lay
aside all partihan feeling and pref
udioe and fully investigate all
parties and candidates and ascer.
tain who is most worthy, and then
cast his vote accordingly; thus we
will get the best service and best
government from those servants of
the people who are elected to office.

Complete in Every Particular Will
Be Upon the Ballot.
Never before have four political
parties in West Virginia placed in
the field at one time, four complete
tickets for state officers and for
congress, as has been done this
year. The ballot to be voted in
November will contain, in addition
to the presidential tickets four sets
of candidates for the state officers
and for congress, The four politi.
cal parties nominating full tickets
are the Republicans, Democrats,
Prohibitionists and Socialists.

Milking the state Institutions.

Milking the State Institutions.
News comes from Weston and
Moundsville that the republican
state committee is assessing the
employees of the state institutions
5 per cent of their salaries for the
pact year to go into the republican
campaign fund to Garry the state
for Elkins and his crowd onoe
again. 1t is asserted as absolutely
true that the assessment levied is
5 per cent of the past years salary.
Heretofore these hold-ups have al
ways been in the form of "oontri-
buttons" supposed, of course, to
be voluntary, but the amount of
subdued squealing that some times
emanated from some Of the most
active republicans in these institu.
tions leads one to believe that this
year the contributions will be nei-
ther large nor voluntary and il
