THE DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL BOARD FOR
The INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

There is no matter that effects the
interests of the people of the town
more than the question of education.
In order tina. school matters shall
be conducted in proper manner it
is necessary to get Board of Ed
ucation that knows the needs of our
public schools, and will do what is
necessary and right for the proper
education of the youths of our town.
The Democrats of the Independent
School District of Point Pleasant,
and everyone else, regardless of
party, ought to be congratulated in
having gotten the consent of three
men like Prof. p. H. Steenbergen
and Messrs. C. K. Blackwood and
J. Friedman to become candidates
Tor this important position. Each
and every one Of them have the in
terests of the public schools at
heart, and ought to know, and do
know, Just exactly what is needed in
order to promote the welfare Of the
schools. 1t is the duty of the citizens
of this town to see to it that these
three men are elected as members of
the School Board. The good of the
children of the town is paramount to
everything else, and the patrons of
the schools should forget politics
long enough to see to it that the
Democratic School Board is elected.

WHAT political mess these P :
publican leaders are gettig into /!
Only the other day President Taft
was cheek-by-jowl with Cannon and
Aldrich and their standpatism, now
that the stalwarts are getting the
worst Of it, he says that he is a pro-
gressive. Roosevelt has been even
more erratic. When he was presi-
dent he was hand-in-glove with the
old stalwart leaders from Hanna
down, and now he is an insurgent /;
perhaps because he thinks it is the
most opportune faction to tie to.
These Republican leaders may be
practical men,; but they certainly
slop around too much for sober
people to follow them.

Hon. RANKIN WILEY is receiving
aattering receptions at his every
appearance, in the towns and cities
throughout the fifth congressional
district which he has visited, thus
far, in the interest of his campaign.
He is getting the solid support of the
democratic press of the district and
his chances for election are becom-
ing brighter every day. He should
and will receive the united support
of Mason county and his majority
here will be one of the largest ever
accorded candidate on the demo-
cratic ticket.

We understand that the Point

dry candidates to print anything
dry in its columns. What else could
be expected when it is known that

enbarser gang"
The foregoing bit of edifying news

Republican of last week. 1t is need
less for US to say, that it is false.
hood from beginris to end, as every
candidate on the democratic ticket
has had the columns of this paper
extended to them unreseryedly.
1t is now up to the Mason Repub-
lican to give its readers the scource
of its information and tell from
whom. ''We understand that the
Point Pleasant Register will not
allow their dry candidates to print
anything dry in its columns"
As regards the Poffenbarger faction
controlling the policies of this paper,
the story is to absurd to require an
answer. A glance at our columns

grain common sense as to the
falIacy of that statement. Further
more the stock in this company is
held by democrats of unquestionable
integrity and loyalty to the party
and it is difficult to see wherein the
PoHenbarser faction could in any
control it.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

The Hon. Rankin Wiley was It
home Sunday, and left Monday
morning to continue his campaign in
the Fifth Congressional District.
While here Mr.. Wiley talked very
sansuinely of his prospects. He
realizes that the majority against
him is very large one to overcome,
but he says that in many counties
the disSenSion in the Republican
party is even greater than it is in
our own County, and believes that
the disruption which exists between
the old Guard and the Insurgents is
such as vii! inure greatly to his
benefit. His prospects are certainly
such that it is unquestionablv the
duty of every democratic voter in the
Fifth Congressional District to 90 to
the polls and not only vote for him,
but do everything in their power to
assist in winning others over. He
is worthy of the support of every
Democrat who believes in the re-
duction of the tariff, who are opposed
to the trusts, and who believe that
the government should be admins
tered for the benefit of the many,
and not for the benefit of the few.
Mr.. Wiley is well equipped for this
high position, because he is ready
debatef, and is well versed in mat
tiers pertaining 10 the administration
of the National Government. His
training has been such that he is
peculiarly fitted for the position of
this kind, because he has hac wide
experience in the practice Of the
law, and in business matters, and
knows the needs of the people of his
District. From the standpoint of

constituting a great hardship upon
the millions of the toiling masses
and consumers of this country. The

to enrich further the privileged class

Speaker Cannon, the captain of the
vessel, overheard. II is cowardly fer
Republican party to try to visit its
sins upon Cannon alone. Cannon is
simply the product of the recent
policy and system of the Republican
party. He has stood firmly for every
move made by the party in the in
terests of the privileged classes.
While it may teach Cannon as an
individual valuable lesson, it by
no means relieves the party from the
responsibilities of the policy it has
been pursuing. Had Cannon served
the people with one-half of the zeal
he has served the special interests,
they would not now be turning him
naked to his enemies.
THE Democratic party, from all
indications throughout the country,
seems assured ofa triumphant victory.
The people seems to fully realize that
there is no .thcr way by which they
can be relieved from the burdens of
exhorbitant tariff taxation except by
the election of Democratic candi-
dates. They believe that the tariff
schedules should be reduced by the
friends of the consumer

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.

There is no reason why every
Democrat in the county should not
vote for every man on the Democrat
ic ticket. Each and every one of
them are thoroughly honest and re-
liable, and worthy of the support of
every man in the county. ltcan be
depended upon that if elected to of
fee they will do what is right, and
they are men who know what the
right thing is. What better men
could be found than Messrs. Edward,
and Parsons for the House of Dele
gates, Harrison Ball for County Com
missioner, and Charley Ball for Su-
perintendent of Free Schools They
are just as good as the best. There
is no reason why any Democrats
should not vote the Democratic tick
ct, and no reason why every Demo-
crat should not vote for ever. man
on the ticket, and We believe that it
is the universal sentiment Of the
Democrats throughout the county to
stand by the ticket, and do whatever
it is possible for each and every one
of them to do. All the good citizens
of the county should turn out on
election day, and get their friends to
60 to the polls, and stay there,and
see.to it that every man otes-justas
he wants to, and when that is done
no one need have any fears but what
the whole Democratic ticket will be
elected. With the fine prospects of
success the Democratic party has
throughout the county, it is time for
every Democrat to do his duty, and
vote for the principles he represents.

WHEN the Tariff bill was unde,

WHEN the Tariff bill was under
consideration, United States Senator
Scott of West Virginia, never failed
but once to vote to aid trust, and
that was when the Tobacco Trust
was voted on, and then he was
absent. Such a trust-dominated
senator should be remembered by
the voters when they elect members
of the state legislature.

CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

."Dem6erats, have no. lack: of live
issues this year upon which ito wage
their campaign. In fact there are
SO many issues forced on the atten-
ton of the voters through Republic
can sins Of commission and omission
as to almost confound many voters.
The campaign book issued by the
National Democratic Congressional
Committee in its table of contents
places The tariff and cost of living"
as the paramount issue of the cam
paign, and Republican extrava-
Sance' as second in Importance.
The independent voter is more
than ever worth attention this year,
because of his greater numbers and
his evident trend toward Democracy.
Nothing will appeal more to the in
dependent voter than the two lead
ing issues above mentioned, for both
touch the pocket; and after all it is
the material side that appeals in
politics. Bat there are also great
moral issues involved in the tariff
and in extravaganza. By reason of
the tariff the tax is. imposed, and by
reason OF extravagant appropriations
much of the tax is wasted. Such is
evidently the idea of Governor Aus
tin L. CrotherS, of Maryland, who
the Baltimore Sun reports has ac-
cepted number of invitations to
speak, and will make as many
speeches as the duties of his Office
will permit. The Sun also publishes
a statement of Governor Crothers,
outlining the main issues upon
which he will speak, in which he
says: The Republican party in its
last platform promised that if it
were again instructed with power it
would revise the tariff downward,
so as to lesson the burders of the
people. Its candidates won. Con-
greSs assembled, and shameful re-
pudiation of that promise was made
by the enactment of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law. In this campaign the
Republican party and its candidates
are confronted by the failure to car
ry out this solemn pledge to the
people.
A party cannot make more SER
ious mistake than to violate plat
form pledge, as it involves the en-
bodied conscience of the entire party
As result of the failure
of the Republican party to revise
the tariff downward, the cost of
living has continued to increase,

Condition of Trade

Henry Clews of New York says of trade:
General trade is fairly active. Here and
there weak spots may be found. especially where
an excessive advance in prices has checked con-
sumption and distribution. Cotton goods have
already reeeded somewhat, owing to the condI-
tions just named. and the decline was quickly
followed by a better demand for fabrics Our
cotton manufacturers. however. are still en-
barrassed by the high price of raw material.
In the wooden industry the large mills are gen
orally busy. but some Of the smaller concerns
are suffering from a paucity of orders The
iron and steel trade is in good FORM and the
outlook promising. Later the railroads are
sure to be heavy buyers Of equipment and
other materials; and this industry will be stimu-
lated by recent security issues more than any
other In other branches OF trade conserya-
tive spirit is displayed owing to the high level
of prices. which induces caution on the part
Of bankers in making advances aud prevents
distributors from carrying large stocks The
commercial outlook however. is generally salts
factory. Thus far agricultural prospects are
equally Farmers enjoying almost un-
precedented prosperity, and appear to be pos
sessed with the Idea Of holding their produce
back for the highest possible results Whether
or pot they viii oFerreaeh themselves in this
