would exalt West Virginia.
Now neither of these man ar,
democrats. Their political creed Is
at utter variance with that OF the
Democratic party whose duty il is to
staunchly support Democratic mer
and measures. But. il forced to choose
between them, Democrats would, for
the honor of their State, prefer Hub
bard to Scott who has already been
rewarded UNNECESSARILY beyond his
merits. The writer will go further
and say that, were he a member of
the w. Va. Legislature, he would of
course do all in his power to elect a
democrat % the u. S. Senate; but
were his party in a hopeless minority
and the question reduced to a choice
between Scott and Hubbard. he
would, Democrat as he is, consider It
a patriotic duty TO vote for Hubbard.

existing evils. The Republicans who
run things, the bosses, in other words
are practically the same everywhere.
