Appeal Admits Defeat.

Alluslon is made to the Democratic
ticket as party ticket by the
Democratic paper, that is it
regards 1t as ticket for Democrats
alone to vote for. With the excep-
tion of two Endorsements, 1t is prop
erly speaking Democratic clique
ticket.
An effort of strenuous sort Is be-
ing made by the News to persuade
the Democrats that they should all
vote for the nominees on that ticket,
but, II there were guarantee that
they were all going to do that, there
would be no cause for such an ap-
peal. The mere fact that the appeal
is made is a disclosure of another fact
learned with much pain by the News
that there are Democrats who are
not going to vote that ticket, and all
the urging the News may make and
all the party lashes the cliquesters
may lay on will not change the situa-
tion.
AS a party ticket, there is no out
look for the success of the ticket the
News appeals for. 1t is well known
fact that the Democrats are greatly
in the minority here and 1T Is an ac-
cepted fact that the leaders, or
cliquesters, entertain only ferlorn
hope the same as has been theirs all
these years.
The Republican ticket is such as
appeals to all Republicans and a
good many progressive Democrats
and as such has assured prospects.
with victory certain. Thus, with
such a situation, 1t is not at all
strange that the Democratic organ
should enlist itself in movement to
make some kind of a showing.

Ellsworth Cork is well liked in his
ward. GIe has a host of friends.
They find no fault with his record as
councilman. And finding no fault
they propose to re-elect him.
While ]. H. Alexander in the
fourth ward has not been greatly
identified with public affairs. yet his
business, that of builder and con-
tractor, brought him into contact
with public men and affairs, and
every one knows that he does good
work and that he is a splendid citi-
zen superbIy well prepared to con-
duct city affairs. That his candidacy
is popular is shown by the fine re-
ports that come from that ward as to
what its citizens think of him and
his candidacy.
Charles w. Moore is a capable law
yer, a man of keen perception and
good judgment. He has broad con-
ception of public affairs and is a gem
tlenan thoroughly advised of the
needs of his ward as well as the city
in general. He is one whose efforts
will be enlisted in the Advancement
of his ward and the city along the
line of city improvements. All know
that he will give his earnest endeav-
n ro ,Nward ofty nrourocc That aIOna
max 's his candidacy popular.
Int, while 1T is pointed out why
in all these things. the Republican
ticket is the popular one, yet 1t
should not be overlooked that 1t is a
meritorlous one, and, on that ac-
count, together with the reasons CIV
en-, is a favorite one with the peo-
pie. 1t is just such ticket as every
man, rich or poor, high or low. can
vote for.

A Remarkable Discovery.

~ AJAoNON>hJs
The Democratic organ attempts to
make the impression that the lead
ers of its party. or, to be more ex-
plicit, the members of the clique.
have by some extraordinary and
superhuman means obtained the only
Simon pure, blown in the bottle, prac-
tically righteous and morally immac-
ulate method of stating the names
that appear upon the city Demo-
cratic ticket and conducting a
municipal campaign generally.
Assuming for the sake of humor
that such is the case. the Democratic
cliquesters have blundered upon a
very important and to them singu-
larly strange discovery. 1t should
be we'll guarded. 1t is in a new
place, amidst new surroundings and
unless the clique exhibits great
amount of wariness the thing will fit
away from 1t while its members have
their minds temporarily disengaged
in asserting out crime and corruption
for their wicked opponents.
Just what will be done with this
remarkable discovery, If the clique
manages to keep it Gagged until after
election day, remains yet to be seen.
That it has been quite recently
brought to light in the Democratic
camp is a self-evident fact. No in
dications of it's. possession or even
knowledge of its existence by them
have hitherto been brought to public
notice. In the preliminary perpara-
lions for the city campaign the
cliquesters gaze not the slightest sign
nor symptom of having found such
a thing. The same old method of
framing up slate in star-chamber
session with. tie following whip
cracking ratification by henchmen in
city convention and the same old
WORKOUT campaign bowls were again
in evidence. There was no token
whatever of this wonderful discovery
over which the Democratic organ has
been stretching its linotype slugs and
its rhetorical efforts
In former years the Democratic
clique never knew of any such wond-
rous formula at least judging from
the history they made in the line of
bossism, slate-making, vote-buying,
whiskey distribution, intimidation
and other high-handed methods that
were exhibited on all sides in Demo-
cratic campaigns.
Hence 1t is matter of great cur
iosity and solicitude as to just what
the cliquesters intend to do with this
stupendous find, this marvellous reve-
lation, this scientific, or unscientiflc,
unearthing of new and shining po-
litical precept The people of Clarks-
burg will doubtless enjoy the unique
pleasure of witnessing the cliquesters
and their cohorts holding forth on
electinn day with Sunday school leaf
let's in their hands, calling upon the
voters to mind their ways and be-
ware of Sin, officiating at curbstone
prayer-meetings and at intervals
throwing Democratic campaign fund
materials into a huge bonfire in the
middle of the street. Truly, it will
be refreshing and inspiring sight!

The Popular Ticket.

The popular Zcket is what the Re-
publican city ticket is. Every one
admits that fact. Why is 1t popular?
Because it Is one that is winner and
because it is one that can be tied to-.
:. Truly, there is not one word that
can be said in detriment to Truman
j. Lynch. Every one knows that he
is n gentleman successful in business
Every one knows that he is pleasant
in business. Every one knows he
has magnetic personality. Every
one knows that he is largely inter-
ested in the city and its welfare. The
taxpayer knows that he is one of
them, though not on as large a scale
as many of them. Every one knows
The is man of fine business judg-
ment. Every one knows he possesses
the qualifications of fine mayor.
Every one has confidence in him and
rightly so.
The city clerk, Will II. Cole, is a
part of Clarksburg's old-line citizen
ship but fully adjusted to the new
citizenship. No one ever heard n
truthful man say any thing against
his record as city clerk. The oppo-
sition knows better than to attack his
record. What more need be said as
to his popularity? Plenty more can
be said in his favor, but there needs
be no more said.
Every one knows about Ed. Doyle.
He is just about as popular as one
needs be, as the elections show and
every one is his friend after that.
He does the street work as we'll rs the
next one could and everybody knows
it. So, what is the use to say he
will not get the votes?
Our candidates for water works
commissioner and city collector and
treasurer are all right. They are
sure of election, though the enemy
We're reluctant to ilfdorse them. They
are popular, too, as every one knows.
John Howe for chief has always
got many more votes than needed
even hundreds more-and he will get
them this year, and thus will his
popularity be attested again.
There is Louis A. Carr for city
assessor and others on the Republi-
can ticket. He is a young man,
whose popularity, beyond that of
personality, is because of his fitness
. for the place. He is showing the
people now that he can and does fill
the place in a splendid manner. His
candidacy, all must admit, is a popu-
lar one.
James j. Cornell in the first ward
for council is a popular candidate.
He is a winner. He looks after his
ward and the city and there is every
good reason why his candidacy is
popular with the people of that ward.
There is no shadow of doubt in his
case. His election is assured.
Thomas L. Anderson is popular
candidate in his ward. He suits the
majority of the ward and 1t will
triumphantly elect him over his OPP
ponent.
