Mr.. Carrig1n Speaks.
ar. Carrigan expressed himself as
glad to be received SO cordially In the
home city OF his opponent and stated
that they had been personal friends
,hfteen years. He said he was pleased
to read that his opponent when nom
mated had declared his intention not
to indulge In personalities as that wa $
his own idea OF the proper conduct Of
a campaign. II ask that the campaign

not hesitate to come and ask Harrison
county citizens for their votes. because

every campaign is very impor-
tant,'' said the speaker, each one has
new issues and there are new ques-
tlons to solve. AS Patrick Henry said
we must judge the future by the past.
So with the vottNs this year. am
very willing to present my claims on
the record OF the Republican party the
last half century"
Mr.. Carrigan showed that from
1851 to 1898 all the legislation OF this
great country had been by the Re-
publican party. all beneficial legisIa-
ton had been passed by Republican
Congresses and approved by RepubH-
can Presidents. And then in 1893 the
Democrats were given an opportunity
and all knew what a dismal failure
they made. A brief review of the dis
astrous reign of Democracy was made
and the speaker asked Mr.. Davis, his
to point to Democracy's
glorious past. II such he could, and
then admit that Democracy Is almost
at the end of the journey.
ON Business, Principles.
referring to the criticism of Davig,
in which the latter talks about ''in-
iquitous laws" Mr.. Carrigan drew
few companions between the business
Of the government under Democratic
and Republican rule. He showed
where the fedora treasury went bank
rupt under Democracy with less outlay
and where the Republicans always 1
had money in the treasury with a lar
ger outlay. Democratic legislation
failed to meet the government eN'
peuses. while Republican legislation
not only pays goveFnmeut expenses
but provides a surplus. ~
Speaking OF the tariff, Mr.. CarriEan
said he was not in position TO say It
was the best but he was there to say
that from a business Standpoint It was
better than that act OF 'peridy and
dishonor' the President let become
law by default,
Protect Industries.
,-There are ave great industries in,l
west Virginia that depend on protee-
tive tatiff-glass. pottery. iron and
steel. coal and agriculture. I stand for
such legIsIatIon.'' said the speaker, "as
will make 1t possible for all % them
to be busy. not only the business men
Identified with them but also the la
borers." In this connection Mr., Car
rigan discussed wages and gave inTt
stances OF the Relationship between
wages ana prices, the purchasing
