The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1908-09-16

From the time the Democratic par
ty controlled the government OF West
Virginia until they relinquished 1t,
through the change that had come
over the spirit OF the people of the
state, to the Republican party 1t
never did anything to improve the
conditions OF the agricultural class.
On the contrary 1t added burdens to
the tiller of the soil. and required him
to pay an unjust portion of the taxes.
Finally the light broke in upon the
farmer, and since the day OF the IL
Elimination OF Democratic methods
the Republican party has been gain
ing accessions to its ranks from that
branch of the industries OF the state.
Now the peculiar plea is put up by
the Democratic managers that the
farmers are the only prosperous peo-
pie in the state. This is not aitogeth-
er true, except that they are getting
along somewhat better than the lab
ORIG and manufacturing elements In
the large towns and cities. But it is
absolutely true that the farmer would
not have been in the independent

A Perfidious Friendshin.

The Telegram again calls the at
tent4on OF the colored citizens to the
cupidity OF the Democratic party with
regard to the vote value of the quail
fed voters of that race. Here comes
Henry Watterson, pronounced
negro-phobist, who counsels the lead
ers of the Democratic party to bid for
the negro vote in the presidential con-
test. and thus give them the balance
OF power between the contendinS,fac-
tons of his own race. This is truly
a remarkable utteraace con- Jag from
the source It does. 1t reveals the
animus of Democratic opposition to
continuing the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise rights to the negro.
The colored voter has naturally, and
for self protection. always affiliated
with the Republican party, which Sc
cured for him his constitutional
rights. But how can he be beguiled
by the perfidy of,Watterson but thir-
~ yelled in the invitation he extends.
to that race to vote with the Democ-
racy this year?

position he enjoys today had it not
been for the Republican party which
formulated and passed the tax re-
form laws which have lifted part OF
the load he had borne under Demo-
cratic rule and distributed the bur-
dens of taxation more equally among
the various interests.
In spite of the satisfactory work
ings OF the new tax laws we are i'm
peginently informed by the state
chairman of the Democratic party
that the people of the state are in
favor of the repeal of those meas
ures. Happily. the farmer these
days thinks for himself, and his ex-
perience under the old and the new
regime will prevent him from being
led astray by any Democratic misrep-
reservations of the true situation.
And what is good for the farmer con-

ity of all the people OF the state.

No man dare question the loyalty
OF Charles w. Swisher to the RepuD-

equalled by no Republican in the
state. let us see what he has done
to bring about harmony.
Months ago he offered to step
aside for Hon. Elliott Northcott, but
Mr.. Northcott declined to make the
race.
He then offered to forego his am
bition and get out OF the way for

Mason refused.
He offered then to take himself off

He offered to step aside for Hon.

He offered TO withdraw in favor of
Congressman Joseph Holt Gaines, but
Gaines preferred no remain in con-

He met the proposition of the bolt
crs. who claimed to have interviewed
Judge Cor and had ample assurances
that that distinguished jurist wuold
accept. that he withdraw along with
Scherr from the field and let Judge
Con carry the party standard. Charles
Wesley Swisher accepted that propo-
sition, even after he had spent a
years time, much money and had
won his party's nomination honorably
and fairly in one of the largest and
most representative conventions the
party ever held. But Judge Con de-

While there may he nothing in the

the same as the assessors do in TAX
Ing the assessment, yet every one nat
urally expects them to make such
canvass. They are paid for services
and 1t is but right that they should
canvass their precincts thoroughly.
The spirit of the registration law Is
that every man entitled to vote
shall have the right to vote and
that no man not entitled to that
privilege shall have 1t. Certainly.
then, no registrar should undertake
by omission to thwart the law, as he
is a sworn officer Of the law.
There are registrars who are maxi
ing the canvass, others are holding
slttings, still others the Telegram is
informed, do not leave their homes.
In addition to regular canvass, the
sittings are good. but TO sit at home.
where voters have to hunt up the
registration officers instead of them
hunting up the voters is not what
any man can pronounce capable
method of registering the voters.
A large number OF registrars have
made no announcement as to wheth-
er they will canvass or not. Some
of them have not even made It known
that they are engaged In the work OF
registering. Still others have not
told the public where they are going
to do or are doing the work. The
period for registration is half over,
and, the work is not under very good
Roadway.
Being new work and the law not
being explicit as to the method to be
pursued by the registrars. 1t is the
duty Of the registrars and the voters
to cooperate so as TO make 1t a sue

ity Of the ballot box.
But, as there is grave doubt as to

that the success Of the national ticket
might not BE 1eobardized.
These are things which Charles
Wesley Swisher has done which
proves his loyalty to party, his love
of Republican. principles, and his de-
sire for the success OF the Grand Old
Party and its candidates. His critics
have done naught to bring about har-
mony. Everything they have done
has been calculated, to widen the
breach and insure the success Of
Louis Bennett and the men on the
ticket with him. They admit that
personally and in the newspapers
they control, they impudently as
sert now that that Is their chief aim
and purpose.
