SHOWING THE DRAGONS TEETH

Speaking Monday in Joliet, ILL
nois, Mr. Bryan said:
MY friends, | think too much
of the next generation to stop my
efforts to rid this country Of the
evil of private monopoly. l am
willing to fall on my knees every
morning and say TO my Father in
Heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread but Gcd forbid that L should
make my countrymen go down on
their knees at morning and say to
trust magnate: Give us this day
our daily bread and have him an
swer. L will If you will vote the
ticket | want you to- You cannot
afford to fasten that sort of system
on this country or any other coun-
try"
The audience to which Mr.. Bryan
addressed these ringing words was
composed largely of workingmen,
and it is said the utterance was re-
ceived with a remarkable, almost
riotous demonstration of approval
Small Nonoer that it was. Mr.. Bry-
an has a remarkable genius for the
clear and telling and forceIul state
ment of proposition or condition
and he has rare y exercised - TO
better purpose than in the language
quoted above.
The time has arrived in the af-
fairs of this nation when the point
of peril is confronted with respect
to the efforts of capital to control
abor through the means OF coercion
The man who works in the factory
r mill has as much right to vote
his sentiments unmolested, as has
MS employer. either this is true,
or our theory OF Republican govern
ment reflects a glazing liza thor
oughly decayed and outworn pre-
tense. And every factory magnate
who uses the influence OF his dollars
and position to drive labor to do his
will, then and thereby writes him
sef down as an enemy to the repub-
lic-one who puts the heel of con-
temp upon the rights OF man, and a
factor VINO as certainly sowing
Dragons teeth from which menac.
.ng harvest may at any time spring
p. as is the anarchist who is day
by day winning converts 90 doe
trine which embodles a disregard
for the rights OF property and
fierce hatred for those who possess

GLASSCOCK AND THE NEGRO.

The Morgantown Post-Chronicle
has placed itself squarely on record
as opposed to separate coaches for
whites and blacks.
Mr.. GlasscOck recently ACQUIRED
controlling interest in this paper.
1t Is the Republican organ of Mr.
Glasscock's home town and is SUD-
posed to correctly reflect his ideas
upon the subject.
Here is the Post-Chronicle's stand
upon the subject:
The Post Chronicle Is most ear
nestly opposed to the enactment of
law in West Virginia compelling
railroad companies to provide sep
arate coaches for white and colored
people. This paper will stoutly op-
pose any legislation the purpose of
which is to accentuate and intensity
an absurd, uncivilized, unchristian
race prejudice and race hatred, such
as man feasts itself in the truculent
savagery OF Tillmanfsm. Is the Do
hihIOu HOW dDIe TO determine lust
what the papers position really is
on the Jim Crow car law?"
Candidate Glasscock did not have
the courage TO announce his views
upon this subject in Bluefield.
He dare not tell the white people
of Mercer and Mcdowell that he Dis
against the lily white planks in the
Democratic platform.
Neither of the Republican candi-
dates for legislature has dared to
openly express himself on this ques-
ton.
The Telegraph, the local mouth
piece for the Republican party, has
not, nor will not, express itself up
on this question.
But there are those who will
show the courage of their convic-
tions. On November the third the
white yeomanry of West Virginia
will speak in tones that will not be
misunderstood. They will speak
and vote in behalf of their wives.
mothers, sisters and daughters.

HUGHES SHOULD BE DEFEATED

Has not James A. Hughes served
the people of the Fifth district in
congress long enough? Is It not
time that he was retired to private
life?
Mr.. Hughes has been in congress
eight years; YET in that time he has
accomplished nothing of which he.
or his constituents, may really be
proud. His name has never graced
a bill of any Importance, his voice
Is never raised in the advocacy of
any great legislation. Far from be-
ing a first rate congressman, he is
not even third rate congressman.
The people of the fifth district
are entitled to representative who
Will be recognized as a man OF abil-
ity and standing, and that they will
never have in Hughes.
1t is true that new congressman
ordinarily is nor able to make a
showing in the work of congress
that may be made of one more expe-
rienced. 1t takes one term at least
for most new congressman to get
their hand in" so to speak. But
when congressman has served four
terms, and Is still a nonentity in the
affairs Of the nation, is 1t not time
he was retired in favor OF another
man who shows greater promise? II
jim Hughes could achieve no con-
gressional standing in eight years
should he not be retired?
Again Hughes is one OF the cogs
in the Cannon machine that thwarts
beneficial legislation. His VOC
always on the Cannon side. II Is
from men Of his type, who are capa-
ole Of following only blindly the
speaker in his car like rule that
Cannon retains his power, power
that has proven dangerous TO the
nation Hughes will vote for the
reelection Of Cannon 70 the speak
ership. and, for that reason, II for
no other, he should be defeated

and one who. after eight years ser

Or. Clark stands for progress in
legislation. and for the wholesome
measures that are included in the
Democratic platform. At Washing
ton he would prove q thorough go

GLASSCOCK TRAITOR TO PARTY
The platform OF the Scherr Re
publican party, which was represen-
tative OF the better portion of the
Republican parry in West Virginia,
has the following:
We affirm and declare that the
action of a majority of the hereto
fore. existent and recognized Repub-
lican state central committee by rs
arbitrary, unjust and revolutionary
conduct in passing upon contests
ests OF one of the candidates for
governor, without regard for right.
justice or decency committed trea-
son against the party, and as such
should be recognized no longer as
the legal and rightful members of
said state committee, condemned as
they are before the bar of public
opinion and by the delegates to this
convention and all other Republi-
cans in sympathy with it."
| w. Z. GlasscocK, the Elkins can
didate for governor, was member
OF that committee. and voted with
the majority of the committee In
their disregard for might. justice
or decency," and was an active par
cipant in the treason against the
party"
Can such man be I. listed to
represent the people as governor of
this state? Will he not rather be
the representative of the evil in
fiuences by which he was nomina-
ted over the protest of the decent
wing of the Republican party?

VOLUNTEER FUND.

In accordance witch the request OF
the national committee, the Leader
will take subscriptions for the ma
tional Democratic campaign fund.
Mr.. Bryan refuCes to accept contri-
buttons from corporations or trusts

the interests. He favors campaign
publicity and will publish all con-
tributions so that the voters may
know from what source the con-
tributions are received. Four years
ago Hartman raised a quarter mill

THE GLE ELA'D FORGERY.

The Springfield, CMassD Republi-
can. independent. characterizes the
fraudulent article purported TO have
been VIZ tten before his death by
the late Pres dent. Cleveland, as fol-
lows:
John G.. Carlisle comes so strong
ly to the support OF Mr.. Hastings
Mr. Cleveland's executor, in brand
ing the alleged article by the late
MIR. Cleveland as spurious, that the
case may be considered closed, SO
far as the public are concerned.
If there were many Bryan news
papers in the east. the country
would now be made to ring with
the infamy attaching to political ly-
ing of tn character. The exposure
OF the fraud will compel the Re-
publican national committee to with
draw the entire mass OF campaign
| literature based on the Cleveland
article, and every newspaper that
has based political arguments upon
it is morally bound to apologize to
It's readers. There has been no 9TH
"r Forgery of such magnitude in q
presidential campaign during the
past generation.
But the Republican national COM
mittee has not Withdrawn their
false cam paign literature based on
the fraud. and the Republican news
papers have not apologized to their
readers for dece.ving them with the
spurious article.
