Blount thought 1T 4 little singular
that the vice president should come to

stop to speculate upon this.
Having something more than a sUs-
ptcion that Gantry was not passing
his threat OF exposure up to McYickar,
he determined at once TO seek an in

We are indebted to the Wetzel DEM
ocrat for our installment of our con-
tinued harmony story to-day. Wetzei
county as is we'll known, is one Of the
Democratic Gibralters Of West vir-
ginIa and as Democratic paper there
has a vide circulation and usually
voices the sentiment Of its readers
and II all the Democratic papers
which are opposed to Senator Watson
are 10 be believed the Republican para
ty really has nothing to fear from the
Watson dominion Of the Democratic
politics of the State. Glenn snod-
grass, the able editor of the Deluo4
crat, this week is taking a bold and
fearless tand and very appropriately
spells the word senator wherever it
appears in his editorial with dollar
mark. This is what he says:
ut will be remembered that some
time ago the Wheeling Register, in a
lengthy editorial, took to task all the
Democratic newspapers OF the State
that were not at that time following
the example set by the Register; that
Of bowling down, to United 1starVA
Senator Watson and giving them
selves up to him, body and soul, in
the fear that, they iiEould incur the
senator's displsasare, 5therebN dis
turblng the harmony :Wbiehsthe Reg
lister says is now preNailing3in the
Democratic party in West Virginia.
Senator Watson, as everybody
knows, came about as far from being
the peoples choice for United States
senator as humming bird. comes
from being dray horse, yet the Reg
lister and a few other self-appolnted
leaders in West Virginia Journalism,
would make one believe that he came
within q hairS sbFeadsh 4pf being the
unanimous ch9ice 9fl the ne4poctscy.
Knowing that WIatR0nis election lf i'm was
a very unpopular, move pr Pr the part
of those who pretended to represent
but who in fact MIsrepresented the
party in the last legislature, the Reg.
lister and few others are trying to
gull the people into believing that
it was a very popular event and are
at the same time laying plans for a
strenuous effort n1his behalf during
the next campaign. This indicates
that when it comes to the election Of
members OF the legislature next year
the main issue, SO far as the Register
ct al. are concerned, will be as to
how the candidates for the legislature,
il elected. will vote on the United
States Senatorshlp. In other words,
with a few Of the so.called Democrat
ic newspapers Of the State, oil other
issues will be lost sight of, and with
those papers it will matter not wheth.
er a candidate is a Republican or a
Democrat the one big question that
will, be asked him. before he is en-
titled to the support of the Register
ct al, will be "Will you vote for
Watson, If elected?" If his answer is
in the affirmative, then the papers
belonging to the Watson machine will
bend their efforts toward the election
Of the candidate; il 1t is in the mega.
tive, then they will endeayor to de.
feat him. II he should be elected in
