Was Not Voted On.

Reports sent out from Wheeling
stating shat the question of the
licensed liquor saloon was voted on
at the various town elections held in
the State Thursday are quite mis-
leading.
As the Telegram understands it
that question was not submitted in
most of the towns. For instance, in
Harrison county, while at one or two
places it might have been said in
jest that one was aSdry ticket and
another wet one. set the license
question was in no way involved.
None of the towns IN. the county
which held elections Thursday have
the power to grant license. as that
power is in the county court only.

declaration OF the policy that will be
followed by the Democrats in the
approaching campaign.

to show that there has been no

has had a Democratic administration
That is too thin and fimsy for all

blind or simple. Public conscience
is aroused on The gambling evil in
