Fairmpnt Democrats have , again
pulled 5ot 10 nprl.rnrtisan az coup by
which they hope to get advantage
T. enough to more than overcome their
weakness in the city. It
sReems hard to. explain why the Repnbr
llcnIis SO shape their campaigns as 10
y give 81 the Democrats the advantage
they desire! 1T might Just as easily be
4 therwise. There ISL large class oftil.
dependent voters In the city which the
RepnbH cansa have just 4 as good a
chance toaget: us the Democrats have.
but no EFFORT Is made to get them. Two
d years ngo the Democrats elected a
9 snlnyor because OF this very condition.
They have high hope OF doing the
s same thing this year Many temper.
4 ance Republicans declare they, will
4 vote with tie Democrats and The Pro.
Z hibitlonIsts will endorse at least IA
i majority OF the Democratic candidates
The Democrats, vets and drys alike
y except in rare cases. seeing IL chance
eezs:as they think to get d mayor and sew
-aeral 5councilmen will--vote the ticket
straight. leaving the Republicans to
4 poll much less than their real strength
I In every ward. The placing OF for"
F and against" on the ticket will .nelp
great deal. but there is no use IN
trying to deceive ourselves, or in at.
tempting to disguise the fact that the
Republicans will have trouble to hold
anything like their full voting strength
TN some parts OF the city Why did
\ the "Wet" Democrats allow the "drys'
to control the convention Inst night?
Purely and solely for partisan advan-
& tage.& They want to: get as many Dem.
z. ocrats on council as possible and have
another Democratic mayor. Many Re.
Il nubllcanB went to their conventions
with no Thought except to get control
L OF the convention and; name "wet'
candidates. the Democrats went with
/ q different purpose even II they were
and now they will bend every
energy to elect Democrats. Last year
two Republicans were sacrificed TO lei
. Democrats in. Joe Weatherwax got
only 13 votes in the big Republican
y Third ward. Harvey Shain was
thrown down SO hard he has been hurt
ever since. This year the same thing
ssWillSbe attempted In tho Second warl.
AT least that Is our prediction. That
I Is the only ward where the Democarr-
ic candidate Is regarded. MS "wet" and
an Independent candidate will more
4 than likely be put in the field And he
y IS nearly certain to be- Democrat.
Then the wet" Republicans will be
asked to sacrifice their man and lei
the democrat in. At least It loo',s
that way now. How long will the Re.
publican masses stand for such Repub.
e$ltcan leadership as will make SO many
victims OF Democratic intrigue? It will
4 be Interesting to await the develop.
s3&ments OF the next few days and see
what will come to pass.

Editor West virutnian:

In YOUR issue OF the 18th In ST., in the
column set apart for the people. 40.
pcarcd an article to which | wish u
give my unqualified Endorsement. The
readers Of the Wrst vireinian will re-
cali e.haps 4 that that article while
sanctioning the 'for license" and
against license" on the ballots stated
that without officials In sympathy with
the abolition Of the saloon we cannot
hope to h:ve the best results from, a
nc.license law. Now. this has been
demonstrated SO frequetIy In Fairnont
and elsewhere that il nce1s no araL.
n,ent. Only those who are unwilling
to be convinced, will maintaAn that u
"Wes" mayer and "wet' councilman
will loyalty enforce a nc-Iieense law.
Abraham Lincoln said "You can fool
all the people part Of the time, and
a part Of the people all the time, but
you cannot fool all the people all the
time" -. Fs.i
=. think we have reached that stage
Of the game in this matter Of license
or no license. and have faith in the
people. You cannot fool all the pee
Pile all the time. NJ
u The +trick of the trade" Is to dc.
feat no-license II possible, but failing
in that Their to bring the law irto dis.
repute.-diseredit it by open violation.
! We have seen what can be done in
':his city with a mayor who has cor.
vlctfons and the backbone to stand BY
them. and a few couneilmen equally
true and courageous. III
While our brief regime Ct no-licen SC
has not been entirety>frec from disor-
der due 10 liquor, 1t has been SO MARI
ed an Improvement over the license re-
oin,e, that ! think the people will be
slow to reinstate the saloon and 90
back to our walIcwing in the miro.
A wet" mayor will not exercise
himself to have a"dry" :own. Voters,
clay not that fIattering JUNCTION to
your souls"
The present mayor has made no enc.
mics except those ci,aorincd at the
success of n o.lic-nse. His adrinistr1-
ticn has been clean, loyal, capable and
ctticlent--a, terror to evil doors, and he
has "won golden opinions from men
ct every political faith. 6sss.i +,
To be sure he has been criticised, but
the head and front Of his offending has
been that he placed the enforcement Of
the law above partisan politics. and
therein he deserves the gratitude Of
every iawabiding citizen.
The issue In this campaign is not
an issue between Republicans and
Democrats. Saloon advocates have no
polfties; they are for saloons first, last
and all the time, and any candjdat:
who will do their bidding In this, will
get their votes. The issue Is saloons
or no saloons, and the temperance PEG.
PIE are in this fight to stay.
Let US have "dry" mayor and
t"dry" counciImen, then whether H.
eense is granted or denied the law viii,
he enforced. II saloon keepers wer.
compelled to sell II accordance with
the law. they would not find 1t a prIn,.
rose way Of dalI'anee.
