a TROLLEY

Application will be made at a meet
ing of the city council by the Berke-
ley Traction Company for a franchise
to construct and operate a trolley
system in this city.
This city is in need of such a sys'
tenn and the promoters of any enter
prise which will give M%artinsburg
and Berkeley county a system of iroi
ley lines such as is proposed should
meet with the hearty support and CO
operation of every enterprising citi-
gen of this community.

West Virginia can be expected to
roll up a handsome majority for the
national M state ticket since the
political troubles have 50 amicably
been 5ettled. With Judge Taft at
the head of the ticket ami Mr.. Class
cock at the head Of the state ticket
the democrats are thunderstruck.
Berkeley county will give more than
two hundred majority for both candi-
dates thus electing the entire county
ticket. The people Of this county
know bow TO vote when their interest
is at stake, and if the democratic
party thinks for one minute that It
can pull the wool yer the eyes Of the
average voter by misstatements and
falsehoods it will know better when
the votes r counted. Our citizens
are wide awake, and many persons
will walk UP to the polls and vote for
the continuation of prosperity who
would have never been suspected OF
doing such a thing. A step backward
nt this time means ~stagnation in bust
ness. Do business men want their
interests to suffer for -four long years?
If they do they are strange kind of
business men. An endorsement of the
present administration means a con
tiuation of good times. The election
of Mr.. Bryan means disaster and ruin.
Choose between the two.

is there a single farmer in Berke-
icy co1nty who wishes to return to
the days of Grover Cleveland? If not,
then the mystery lies in the fact that
farmers will vote the democratic
ticket thus inviting a return of those
dark days. The democratic party Is
as much in favor of free trade today
as it ever was, sand if Mr.. Bryan is
elected he will certainly try to carry
out his platform which declares for
an immediate revision of the tariff
downward. If his theory was put into
effect we would have a repetition OF
the Cleveland administration. The
safe and sane thing to do is to vote
the republican ticket.

Is there any ~inducement for the la
boring man to desert the republican
party and vote for Mr.. Bryan? The
policy of the republican party is to
to invest it in some business that will
require the aid of the wage Garner
to carry it on. 1t requires not only
courage. but encouragement to induce
a man to invest his money in build
ing a manufacturing plant, which re-
quires a large number of men to OPP
crate it.
A protective tariff is one of these
encuoragernents, and such a tariff is
part of the policy Of the republican
party. This tariff makes it possible
to have the pant here, and to have
it operated by American labor, in
stead o. the liant being in a foreign
country and operated by foreign la.
Dor. I As .K2..-
Ii is a fact and not a theory that
wages of a laboring man are less in
foreign countries than in America,
and any school boy a understand
that for this reason foreigners can
manufacture cheaper than Americans
can, and unless we have a protective
tariff the foreign manufacturer viii
supply the American market to the
exclusion of the goods that are made
by the American laboring man. This
is easy TO understand by everyone,
and therefore there is no inducement
for an employe and wage Garner to
leave the republican party. This is
an old statement of a truth, but a
truth does not lose anything by age
or by a frequent statement of it.
The wage Garner has stayed with
the republicans for the above rea-
sons, among others. for there is no
iniucement or reason that will appeal
to him to do otherwise.-Exchange.

The public is constantly getting
better acquainted with Judge Taft,
that big-hearted and broad-minded
candidate for president. The more he
talks the more The people know that
he is sincere in all he utters. He
would not sacrifice a single principle
to be elected. This has been proven
in several instances as has been
shown by President Roosevelt. Such
a rnan is certainly qualified to be at
the head of this great nation, and
the people will zee to it that he VIII

HOT CONTEST WAGED
IN COLORADO; STATE
REPORTED DOUBTFUL

DENVER, Colo. Oct. 31.-Colorado is
properly classed as doubtful In fore
casting election results. A hot contest
has been waged between Republicans
and Democrats for the five presidential
electors, three congressman, state Of
f1cers, four members of the supreme
court and the legislature, which will
elect United States Senator Teller S
successor. 1t is not anticipated the
Prohibition and Socialist parties, which
likewise have tickets in the field, will
develop greater strength than at pre-
yious elections.
factional fight between the sup
porters and opponents of United States
Senator Simon Guggenheim is expected
TO help the Democratic state and legis-
1ative tickets, especially in Denver.
Republican Chairman John f. Vivian
and Democratic Chairman Charles
Ward each claims the state for the en-
tire ticket of his party by $1,000 to TO-
900 plurality, but Independent estimates
indicate that the plurality for either
Taft or Bryan is not likely to exceed
5000.

100000, Says Committee
Report
TBy Associated Press.J

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-A listles'
campaign will virtually be closed in this
city tonight with rallies by both Repub.
licans and Democrats.
At the Democratic meeting the CHIEF
speakers were Theodore A. Bell anc
James G. Mcguire, nominee for con-
gress of the Fourth district.
The Democratic state committee
claims a plurality of at least 10000 fol
Bryan in California. A statement is
sued by the committee reads:
Bryan will receive 1000 more votes
in this state than were cast for Parker
and his plurality over Taft will be al
least 10000. In Alameda county alone
the increase over the Parker vote will
be 10000. Bryan will carry San Fran
cisco by not less than 5000, and the con-
ditions which justify this estimate are
so marked that we would not be sur
prised if the Bryan majority ran up to
$4,000.
Sacramento Also Safe
Sacramento will give Bryan a sub
stantial majority. Our advices are to
the effect that he is much stronger
there now than in 1896, when he carried
the county by several hundred.
"Reliable information convinces us
that in the mining counties the Bryan
vote will exceed the big Bell vote of
two years ago. Judging from our re-
turns from the couties in the Sacra-
mento valley north of Sacramento and
the counties in the San Joaquin valley
Bryan will poll much larger vote than
was cast for Bell, who swept both of
these sections of the state. The trend
in those parts is strongly toward Bryan
and the vote will probably greatly ex-
ceed our estimates.
I'm the counties along the north coast
and in the counties on the south coast
as far down as Santa Barbara our can
didate will poll a tremendous vote, and
both of these tiers of counties will give
him majority.
South of Tehachapi the Taft ma
jority will not be more than 5000, and
our recent advices justify the belief
that the Republicans will have hard
work to reach that figure.
California is no longer doubtful. 1t
is sure to go for Bryan

Dlsastrously

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-"They are on the
rum" said John q. Lamb, vice chair
man of the Democratic executive COM
attack made on President Roosevelt
by former Governor Black of New
York, Senator LaFollette's denuncia-
tion of Speaker Cannon, the declara-
tions of John ID. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie in support of Judge Taft,
and the attempt at an apology by the
president.
1.-The Republican leaders are in full
retreat" he said with former Gov
ernor Black of New York scorching
President Roosevelt in Carnegie Hall,
LaFollette urging the voters of Wis
eonsin to repudiate Cannon and every
Republican congressman supporting
him, and Rockefeller and Carnegie in
charge of Republican organization,
Roosevelt, Taft and Hitchcock are
throwing eonniption fits
Their attempts to repudiate Rocke-
feller will deceive nobody. He is sup
porting them now as he always has.
His gigantic Standard Oil contribution
of four years ago is still in their pock-
cts, and he has never demanded it
back.
IF Standard Oil has not contributed
to the Republican national committee,
why not publish a list of their contri-
buttons now, so that the people may
know? They don't dare do 1t.
why is it that they adopt Carnegie,
the Steel trust magnate, who has made
more money out of the iniquitous Leg
islation of the Republican party than
any man living, and is today spending
it abroad while saying from his for
eign castle that the election of Bryan
would be a tragedy?
1.-THE people are awake and will not
be Inisled The developments of the
last few days have made the election
of Bryan and Kern a certainty, and
there is not money enough in the cof-
fers of Steel and Standard Oil trusts
combined to purchase it for Taft and
Sherman"
