THE OUTLOOK.

IWheeling Telegraph. 4 f
From all that osn be learned at
the present time there does not
seem to be any reason why Bryan
will not be nominated on the fret
ballot in the convention that as
sembles at Denver on the 9Th of
July. The mere mention of biz
name in any seotionof the country
is the signal for enthusiasm. From
a careful compilation, giving the
other candidate all the votes that
are coming, Bryan las now more
than the necessary two.thirds.
The mutterings of disgruntled
Democrats like David Bennett Hill,
who was alone responsible for the
nomination of Judge Alton B
Parker in 1904. and the constant
twaddleof the New York World,
which paper also advocated Judge
Parker's nomination, there is hardly
any objection to the nomination
| of Bryan. Senator Hillw was the
man who pictured the greatvio.
tory Judge Parker would obtain
when his nomination fell like a
damp rag on the delegates who
were forced to take him as the
standard bearer. 1t will be called
to mind how Mr.. Bryan pleaded
with the convention on that mem.
orable night session, and predicted
just what every man thought, de
feat for thetioset,
This year it is different The
Democrt oy realize thatthe ohencea
of winning are bright, and from
the hills of Maine to California
from the great lakes to the gulf,
there is but one name mentioned,
the man who has been fighting the
battles OF Democracy for twelve
years, and who will triumph this
fall. There is no false alarm this
season, the org from millions OF
voters all over this fair land is for
a change, and the pretended return
of prosperity is not borne out by
the facts The bountiful Drops
have nothing to do with the pres.
ent situation of affairs. This is q
very Aimsy CRY to say the least OF
lit Bountiful drops will not help
the skilled mechanic who has been
idle for the past seven months, and
is still idle, notwithstanding the
fact that summer is already here
Ire the Democracy will nominate
Bryan and place on the ticket some
good eastern man like w. l.. Doug
lass, of Massachusetts,, or John w
Daniel, of Virginia, there will be
no question Cf the result.

The prospect of the Democracy

Bennett or Thomas e. Hodges may

osuse for serious thought. West
Virginia lie Republican state; il
has proven it in successive elect
ions for twelve years, but is it Re
publican to the extent that the Re.
publican party can foolishly take
chances of defeat from an united
and enthusiastic enemy led by
men whose public and private lives
and whose candidates. inspire the
confidence of voters everywhere

DEMOCRACY HAS NOTHING TO
FEAR.

Wheeling Telegraph.
The Republican press SCENE to
be somewhat alarmed over IL Q re-.
port that Hon, j. w. Dayis, of
Clarksburg, is supporting the oan.
didacy of Col. Thos. e. Hodge,,
for Governor. No man in the ranks
of the Democracy is losing any of
nature's sweet repose because one
of West Virginia's brilliant legal
lights is supporting one of this
state's most learned educators. 1t
looks to the casual observer like q
case of sour grapes.
The Telegraph has said "Col
Hodges has a perfect right to as.
pire to the highest Office with the
gift of the people in the state" II
has advocated the candidacy of
Louis Bennett, and will continue
to do 80, until the convention de.
oleres otherwise. then. it will sup
port the nominee of that conven.
ton, whether it is Hodges, the
man OF letters; Littlepage, the
workingman's friend and coworker,
the brilliant Thompson, OF old
Cabell; MoCorkle, the man who
brought industries and capital into
the state, which never wouldlhhve
come in under Republican rule;
Fisher, the sterling young lawyer
of old Braxton; Preston, from the
hills of Greenbrier; Hall, who was
| in the convention that framed the
state constitution, which has stood
the test of years; the brilliant
Cornwell, from Hampshire, who
made suoh a gallant fight four
years ago, and host of others
whose names mean victory, and q
galaxy of light which make the
petty cffioe seekers in the Repub-
lioan party look insignificant.
There is no cause for alarm this
| year; it matters not whom the De-
mooraoy name, victory is assured
The Telegraph cannot see anything
which i'll swerve it from its pres
emit course, 1t believes that Louis
Bennett lie the logical candidate,
and will always be found support.
ing him for the offioe.
1t believes that he is the strong
est candidate, for the reason that
he not allied with any faction, that
he is not an office holder, has never
been found wanting in his loyalty
to the party. and would make g
Governor that all men would fee
justly proud.

THE COST OF pRoH1BIT1oN

THE COST OF PROHIBITION.
An object lesson in the cost of
prohibition 10 given in the town of
Martins Ferry. The council OF
that town, having reason to believe
that it will vote dry" at the local
option election which the prohibi.
ton leaders are preparing to de.
mand, took action Saturday night
in anticipation of the loss in Teve-
nue. from saloon lioenses. The law
requires the fixing of levies at this
time, aud also makes 1t possible for
the town to vote against license
within few monthS. The esti.
mates of expenditures have all
been prepared, and council believes
that the prohibition forcces will
win. Such result will deprive
the town of $4,000 from saloon
Iicenses. and it is necessary to
make up the deficiency in increase
taxes. To be more exploit:
The estimated expense of nun
ioipsl government for the fiscal
year is. in round figures, $4,000.
The saloon license in Ohio lie 81,
600 a year, $5OOlof which goes to
the municipality. The estimated
revenue from the thirty saloons is
SIS 900. If Martins Ferry votes
dry" the receipts from taxes are
reduced to $4,000. To make up
the deficit. council deoided-the
only course possible under the DIR
oumstanoes-to increase the levy
for municipal purposes from six
mills to nine and seven.tenths
mills.
This is an increase in municipal
taxes of more than 60 per cent. II
means that the taxpayer who has
heretofore paid $50 per year tow.
ard the expenses of municipal gov.
eminent, will pay this year $50
The man who paid 500 will fnd
his tax bill this year increased to
$160. Nor will the increase in tax
es stop there. The state is depriv
ed of the remaining $500 of the
saloon license tax, and must make
up the deficiency in the same man.
ner as was adopted by the council
of Martins Ferry.
These are startling facts concern
ing the cost of prohibition. Voting
down the saloon means increased
taxes. and the voters OF Martins
Ferry who go to the polls at the
local option election should oast
their ballots with their eyes open

The Matchmaker" comedy drama in three acts, is announced for presentation at Poli's on Tues day, September 29, matinee and night by Daniel Sully and strong company. This play deals with a subject that so far has been given little attention by dramatists, the re- lations of clergyman and his flock in every day life, MT Sully appears as Father Daily, pastor of a church In western frontier village, and 1t Is said that the role gives him great CT opportunities than any he has been seen in heretofore.
