THE PARTY OF YOUTH
Why Young Men Vote the Repuh.
Iican Ticket.
1T STANDS FOR PROGRESS
nEs-STaR GIN. o.

New Voters Proud to Ally Themselves
With the Party Of Lineoln-lts Past
Performances Presase a Still More
Glorious Future.
1t is not without significance that
young men who have just attained
their majority are found, as rule,
voting the Republican ticket. The rea-
son is plain. Those young men look
ON the Republican party as the party
Of hope, the party Of promise and of
performance, the party for whose can
didates they will be proud to say In
later years that they cast their first
ballot, the party whose past needs no
apology, no balm of oblivion for blum
ders and for crimes, no record Of slav.
cry, rebellion and attempted repudia.
tion, each stamped out In its turn by
American freemen under Republican
leadership.
The Republican party is eminently
the party Of youth. With Republicans
the memory of the glorious past is but
an incentive to make the future still
more glorious. To the Democracy is
left the congenial occupation Of flOun-
dering in the marsh of bygone Demo
cratic vagaries, lured on by some new
and deluslve will-o'-the-wisp to the
Quagmire Of Quadrennial failure.
The youthful voter finds no attrac-
ton in such company. He prefers to
march forward on firm ground, with
the party of Lincoln, Of Grant, Nc
Klnley and Roosevelt, Of Taft and
Sherman and Hughes-of nearly every
great American, living and dead,
whose career has added luster to the
closing half Of the old century and the
beginning Of the new. The young
man prefers the Republican party be-
cause 1t holds out n prospect for his
own advancement, because In build
ing up the nation as whole 1t offers
fresh opportunities to the individual.
because under Republican administra-
ton there Is a fair field for every one,
and every citizen is protected in the
enjoyment of that which he has right
fully acquired.
The new voter who takes his place
in the Republican ranks and casts his
ballot for Taft and Sherman Will have
the satisfaction not only of sharing in
the Republican victory, but also Of
knowing that he has helped to assure
prosperity for the country at large and
an immeasunbly better chance In
life for himself and those in whom he
Is interested than If the harpies OF
Organism had been permitted to befoul

Charleston, Jan. 3.-The immigra-

practically abandon efforts to get
miners into the state for the pres

a bad effect on an effort TO induce
miners from abroad and from other
states coming to West Virginia un-
I'll some OF the effects have been eth
er forgotten or some steps taken to
relieve the feeling that the mines are
as unsafe as reports would make
them. It is reported that many ex-
Derienced miu.rs from abroad who
had contemplated coming to West
Virginia have abandoned their trip
to this country for the present at
least, much to the regret OF the op-
orators who had hoped to secure

who were put TO death by mobs, SO
We're negro men. three were negro

The total is little more than half
OF that for last year. Louisiana leads
the list with nine, all black men
Alabama and Mississippi are tied for
second place, seven men, all negroes,
having been lynched in each state;
in Georgia four black men, one
black woman and one white man
were condemned to death by Judge

three, all black, two OF them being
women. Oklahoma mobs wreakpI 1
their vengeance upon three negro
men. Maryland and Texas each dis

one negro was hanged and one white
man each is placed to the credit OF
the lynchers of Missouri, Iowa and

that only II, less than half, OF the
negroes lynched in the south were
charged with assault ur attempted

suffered death at the hands Of mobs
