Statewide primaries Is the key
note of the Republican gathering at
Charleston this week, and this paper
wishes to congratulate the perry in
this state for coming to such SEN
sible view Of the situation. While
many differ as to the unit which
primaries should be conducted I'M
der, yet 1t must be understood that
to insure harmony In the party
primaries Of some sort must be held
at which all Republicans can go be-
fore and ask for nomination to the
several Observation-Disclosures In
DEPENDENT
The Republicans Of West Virginia
held a "get-together rally" at Char
lesion on Tuesday Of this week. The
State Committee met and called a
general state wide primary for the
nomination of all candidates, and
appointed a committee or five, three
Of which are outside the committee
to formulate rules for the conduct
OF same. Harmony was the watch
word, and no more democratic de-
Dauches like that Of last winter are
likely to afflict the sta;e.-Pieasants
County Leader.
The Republican State Committee
did at Charleston just what it was
expected to do and the prospect Of
party success has been greatly
strengthened. In the first place a
primary election was called for Tues
day, June 4, when the candidates
for all state offices, except supreme
judges, will be chosen, and it is
probably that county and district
tickets will be nominated at the
same time.
The federal and state officers all
resigned from the committee and a
new committee will be chosen at
the primary election.-Wood County
News.
The committee, after patiently
listening for two days to the advice
and suggestions as offered by the
party workers there assembled,
went into executive session and as
result Of it's deliberation we are
to have an entire new executive
committee which will be elected by
the people in a primary election on
the 4th Of June, next. Not only will
the rank and file Of the party thus
have an opportunity to say who the
committee shall be, but the people
will at that time vote direct for the
candidates for state Offices. While
We have not seen the official call as
issued by the committee, we pre-
sumo that all county and district
nominations will also be made at
the same time.-Nicholas Republi-
can.

The recent action OF the State Re-
publican Committee IN ordering a
statewide primary is indeed COM
m endable. We of Tyler county must
bear in mind that this Is our only
hope. in fact our only chance OF
,, eradicating the common enemy to
all who are residents Of the county
and owners Of a single dollars
worth of property. In the last cleo
ton party lines were cast to the four
devouring element and turned down
those whom they could no longer
trust, choosing as their servants

Tense Of the common good and once

pleXus to this gang it is now. You
may think it premature to begin
talking politics out We contend that
the one who takes the initiative will
be the one to carry their cause to
victory. 1t is the duty of Tyler'3
three newspapers to stand together
Ill this fight. Already the "comInon
enemy is planning to sweep through
the primary on the pinlons Of victory
he is picturing his henchmen, each
! to be rewarded by some fat little
political plum, or, at least, debating

ty Of Tyler becomes keenly awake
to the fact that the very means
whereby the gang expect to again

Will prove a sword Of destruction

has been clearly defined and estaD-

functions are again to be sub

Usurpation Of popular party pre-

to the extent that has been charged.
TIRE can be no gainsaying that it
mad been carried too far--a fact rec

BLACK RIVER
FALLS SITUATION
{. EimOre Describes the Flood
Conditions at Black River
Falls.

Fifty per cent Of the tax roll was
represented by the property lost, in
Guiding building, goods and lands,
and seventy five per cent of the tax
es were paid by the men who lost
their all. The electric light plant,
owned by the city, is ruined and the
dam having been destroyed, there is
no water power for use, even if the
machinery was intact. The city treas
ury is empty, taxes cannot be collect
ed and the city of about 1000 popu-
lation, and 80 per cent of its bust
ness was transacted on the streets
and in the buildings which were I'M
| dermined, torn up and washed away
by the relentless torrent.
The situation which is facing the
residents of Black River Falls, just
at the beginning of winter, is most
appalling one for they back the means
necessary to protect themselves and
the city from further encroachments
| by the river, and with no defense in
the shape of temporary breakWaters
on dam to divert or stop the river,
the waters as they flow along the
present new channel will undermine
and wash out still greater sections
of the business end of the city.
The relief, therefore, afforded the
city has been gratefully received and
appreciated by The citizens. but the
amount of money received is entirely
inadequate to the needs of the oc-
casion. Up-to-date. the total amount
sent in is less than $4,000, and a
large part of this will be needed to re
lieve the needy. to pay the expenses
attendant upon policing the city,
saving of property and cleaning up
the debris and making conditions
sanitary.
