There can be no doubt the year l9l
IL destined to be a dem ocratic year.
yet Martinsburg keep in the process
sion In its coming election by e!ecting
it's entire ticket for Mayor and coun-
cilmen. Let the news 60 out on the
night Of the election that Martins
burg is In line and it will bs an inspl-
ration to the democracy wherever the
news goes. Stand up and smite the
enemy with broad side, democrats,
aud we Will be in good shape to carry
the county in the fall election. There
is urgent need of democratic member
Of the county court and if we should
lose the city this spring it may bring
disaster in the fall. No flinching, every
man to his place and there is no ques-
tion as to victory.

JD Matthews: l wear the collar of
the people.
Who are the people? We, tn e

J - Matthews: When uninstructed
in voting for franchises will use my
best judgment.
And your best judgment was to vote
against and to lead the fight against
the Winchester Power Company.
id Matthews: When instructed |
will vote as requested.
Yes, as you are requested by the To-
cal power company.
D Matthews: will not, if elect
ed, reappoiat any of the present off,
GERS. but good, clean, business men.
Yes, like some in the past. Notorious
dranks 10 be hauled home and when
even the mayor was assaulted to po-
litely invite the offender to go to jail
unattended and ask to be locked up.
J ID Matthew's: / especially con-
denim houses of i'll fame.
Too late, you are On record as having
said that they were necessary evil.
J d Mathews: favor reducing the
city levy.
Yes, and set the city finances in as
bad a condition Is the republican
county court has the county finances.
Mr. Matthews, you have been q
member Of the city council for the
past two years and for the past year
the republican party has been in con-
troll and. as the leader you have been
council. Why have you not done
something toward having all these
abuses corrected, if they exist? Don't
you think you have neglected your
duty? Do you think you could manage
the office Of mayor better than you
have the council?

Mr.. Editor:
Our ornamental State Road Com
missioner,liMr. Charles Peter Light
has very wisely appropriated S75 of the
states good money for the purpose Of
paying for experimental work with
the King drag, a common split log, in
this county. This is Berke ley's share
OF the appropriation of $1,000 for drag
experiments. Berkeley has several
hundred miles Of clay and slate roads
on which this experiment could be
tried but the road authorities very I'M
wisely selected our pike, the Warm
Spring road, for this purpose. We
kicked at putting mud on our road,
we mean all our people, and we must
congratulate the authorities on having
sense enough to stop when the people
rose up in indignation and we also
wish to thank them for stopping their
nonsense.

Chairman Investigating Committee.

The dear old enemy, the republican
party, seems to be going to pieces as
nopoliticsl party never disintegrated.
Aldrich, head boss of the old organi-
cation ard his first assistant, Hale,
last week decided that they would not
again be candidates for the Senate, a
score or more Of the faithful standpat-
tiers in the lower house have discovered
that their health is falling under the
strenuousness of their service to the
trusts and have announced that they
will retire after their present term OF
service is ended, President Taft finds
that the duties or chief executive are
not at all congenial to him, that posi-
ton on the Supreme bench would be
more to his liking, says that he prefers
Roosevelt for president in 1912 and
now it is said that Gallipger, second AS
sstant TO Aldrich, says he will retire
at the end Of his term. How sick they
are getting,

We hope the democrats of the town
Will not be led astray by the citizens
movement We have no word of de-
ANNEXATION to make against Mr. Rut-
ledge but the parties who hive inspired
the movement have but one object in
view and that is the election of the re-
publican ticket.
Democrats, you may well take the
Citizens movement as Veritable re-
publican air society. Every vote for
Rutledgeis but halfa vote for j. ID.
Matthews. Democrats know Mr. Clio
hans record as politician. He has
been holding office under the republi-
eau deral administration for the last
twelve years or more and is still hold.
ing that office. Mr.. Robinson who has
industriousiy voted the republican
ticket ever since he has been in the
county, though posing as an indepen-
dent, MIR. Frame, a Massachusetts rep-
ubliean, who has not been in the town
long enough to get his chair warn. and
theu there is our very highly esteemed
friend, w. E. Outcalt, republican Of
republicans, an oft candidate on the
relublican ticket or for some office O.
the republican ticket These are the
m owing spirits of the Republican Aid
Society" and how do democrats like
following such leaders?
There il but one thing that the csndi-
dacy of Mr.. Rutledge can accomplish
and that is the election OF Mr.. Mat.
thews. Before democrats commit
themselves TO vote for Mr.. RutIedpe
let them zee how many repubn-
cans are going to vote for him and
you Will find that the republican vote
Ia about as solid as it ever was. If the
democrats want 81 elected mayor they
can give him II boost BY voting for
Rutl.dge.
Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1910-04-29

We fail to see why any democrat
should desert his party Mt the comir &
election and vote either for the repub-
liean or the citizens candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Caskey, the democratic
candidate for mayor was regularly
nominated without any trick, trade or
traffic, he is a man in whom the
entire community has the greatest
confidence. In his honesty, his integ-
rity, his veracty and his ability. He
is under no obligations to any indl
Tidual or clique, He wears no mans
collar nor is he the candidate of any
corporation and is free to serve the
people to their best interest to which
he stands pledged and the man
cannot be found who will say that
Mr.. Caskey's word is not as good as
his bend.

The Citizens organization is making
a great fuss about the condition OF the
city and are commenting on the dirt.
This organization is headed by Nessrs
Alex Clohan and Max Robinson, both
of whom were members of the char
ter commission. Thes gentlemen help
ed no create board of control. They
helped To give that board full control
OF the matter OF keeping the town
clean. The gentlemen who compose
that present board are beyond doubt
the ablest men and best situated that
the city could afford and if there were
any truth in the complaint these gentle
m would be 20 blame but every
cody knows that the town is cleaner
been town and we challenge the com
plsinants TO prove to the contrary Mr..
Clohan has publicly, in our last issue,
given the board ofaffairs the strongest
endorsement he co uld possibly give it
and yet his organization condemns the
board and charges it with neglect of
duty. 1t might be to the credit of these
gentlemen to be little CONSTANT and
not to openly make a declaration one
day and the next repudiate it. Will NJ
Rutledge and his coharts who have
howiiRg for sweeping change la the
Government of the City also change
the board of affairs?

The distinguished United States
Fish Commissioner though defeated in
the postoffice Eight has shown thst
he IL still power in Berkeley county
politics. The nomination of Mr.. Hen
shaw was confirmed in spite of the
opposition of the Commissioner but
when Ed and Alex fixed up the mat
ter for the latter to hold over until the
frst OF July while the former would
get ready to take charge, the Commls-
sioner stepped in and called them
down. The Commissioner, it Is said,
informed the postofliee department
that the arrangement was being
made so Henshaw could canvass the
county in the interest of Sturgiss,
which is very dlstasteful to the Com
missioner and his friends, and the de-
partment ordered that the new post
master take charge on the first Of May
or resign. Now the new appoinuee
will go in office on next Sunday. Thus
the anti Sturgiss forces have drawn
first Blood in the contest which prom =
ises to be an interesting one.

The challenge we made III our last
issue to the opponents of democ-
racy in the pending fight for munich
pal control TO show wherein the pres
ent administration has been unfaith-
full to the people lie still unanswered.
The truth is that the town has been
and ia still one of the most orderly in
the land. The business of the town
has been handled without flaw the
people have been getting more, by
long odds than they ever got before for
their money, People who have been
living here for the short term of ten
years can, If unbiased, give testimony
of the change for better in every way.
Recall the old state of affairs, if you
can, reader, and draw a comparison.

The co mments of visitors who occa-
slonally come to the city are that
taat there is no town which they visit
that has III ade such progress as Mar.

years. Do the people wish TO take q
backward step? Can Mr.. Matthews or
Mr.. Rutledge do more for the town.

The merits, or rather the dement's of
the new road are clearly set forth in the
conditions in Berkeley county. The
county engineer measured off the
county roads AS provided by law but
las been unable to get a bid on any of
he roads and in consequence must
him self make the roads of the county.
What an absurdity! How is it posi-
BILE for one man to attend to max
ing all the roads Of the county? The
WORK on the Warm Spring road, which
was macadamized a few wears ago. Is
a sample Of what the people may eX-
pect under this system of road max
ing The people living aleng that
road first took hold OF the matter Of
goo 1 roads IN this county and with Ms
sistaEee given them 10y the county
court made an excellent road from
the Wlliiamsport pike to the Il. x
O. crossing by grading and macada-
MIXING ii and now Wien the road
could be made as goOi as new with
the al pdcation OF a few stones the
county engineer has set men TO work
hlling the road with clay, covering up
the stone and as The people OF that sec
ton say, running the road. The people
living along the road and who took an
Interest in the MAXI of The road are
justly up in arms over the matter and

road.

Our friends of the Citizens organI-
zation have started out to purify our
city elections. A lsudable desire indeed
If founded on sincerity. First there is
the old republican war horse, Mr..
Clohaa, bless his repentant soul for he
has been bad enough along that line.
George Bowers says the country never
knew what corruption in elections WAS
until MIR. Clohar SHED his castor in
ring. Bowers is not sprouting wings
but he is good republican, the initial
member of the erstwhiIe triumverate,
Of Me, Alex and Ed and ought to
know some things. Then there is our
charming friend, MIR. Max Robinson
and may HIS repentance be sincere. A
few years ago we had our first citizens
movement. Mr.. Robinson was then, as
well as now, a leader and m oce than u
leader, he was candidate and it was
as a candidate he made his political re-
cord. The organization, like the present
one, was out to rid the town Of politi-
cal corruption but when the day of
election came all forgot the mission of
the organization in the political field l.,
republicans, led by the trium verate,
democrats and citizens without dis
tinction turned the election into o
public auction and the highest prices
ever paid for votes fora city office in
the town were paid for Mr.. Robinson.
That was the most memorable city
campaign ever held in the town. We
hardly think these two gentlemen Will
discuss the details of that campaign
ever held in the town. Even at this
late date, with friendly feeling.

on somebody to return "mucb-talked-

be resorted to in this matter? Don't
YOU know that street rumor says
that you received $1,000 from the
Winchester Power Company. Did you
get il? No We do not believe you
did. There is about as much truth in
one report as the other.

Certainly the democrats would join
the Citizens Committee In a move
nicn TO prevent the Use OF money at
the coming election, but the democracy
got 80 corrupted few years ago by
joining in the citizens movement that
they are little careful about ertang-
ling alliances. These gentlemen must
bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

The farmers of Berkeley county
ought to be feeling pretty comfortable.

at good prices.

Fish Commissioner George M. Bow
ers denies the report that he was to

postmaster in case Of the,appointment
of Mr.. Lamar and that his son In law
was to get the place. He also says that
he did not approve of the appointment
of Mr.. Henshaw to Mr.. Sturgss but
that he told him the day he, Sturgiss,
made the appointment that he hoped
that he would get up courage soon to
do something.
These tive gentlemen have come
dangerouly near the short and ugly
word and we warn Sturgiss not to get
into a "cussinn match with George
for he has tongue like two.edgsd
