ty came into power, and, following the
census OF ten years ago, the State was
again redistricted, every county was
given representation, and that method
prevails to-day. But should the Dem
ocracy by any chance get into power
by way Of the next November election,
we may all depend upon IT that they
will redistrict the State in such a
manner as to make Republican sue
cess largely a question Of chance, for
a long time to come.
Can't Run the Risk.
1.-THE Republican party cannot af-
ford to risk this. 1t is far better to
stay on the safe side, keep the party
in power and II any redistricting is
to be. made have the Republican
party to make 1t. am no calamity

throughout the summer months. l
have had ample opportunity to study,
out situations, and know what i am
talking about. When say that it
is right up to the Republicans Of
West Virginia to get together for
their own good, to harmonic all
differences, to forget personal spites,

other Republican in the State to do

that the future welfare of their party
depends upon some self-sacrifice on
their part, you will find them ready
and willing to respond to the call.
The Next Legislature.
"And then, too. the next session
Of the legislature will be one or the
most important for many years past.
Aside from the election Of a United
States senator there are number Of
important measures that viii be con-
sidered-the primary election law, a
railroad commission, the repart of the
municipal code commission, and vari-
Gus other important measures that
Governor Glasscock will recommend
to the legislature. Truly, this Is a
time to lay aside all personal differ.
ences and to unite in common cause.
Personal differences should be settled
personally and not at the expense Of
the Republican party which is to-day
doing and which has for years past
done SO much for the development of
the States resources and which is SO
rapidly bringing West Virginia to the
front as leading State OF the nation.
"All tickets in all the districts. and
counties" concluded Mr.. Swisher,
may not suit me and you and some
body else, but will do everything
can to elect all the tickets, and
this should be the universal feeling
in West Virginia Republication this
year. Harmony has become absolute.
ly essential to success. If we have
harmony we cannot be beaten"
