Those Two Xotes.

Democratic deceivers in West vir.
sinia are playing up the fact that
Senator Watson voted for popular
election of United States senator's,
while Senator Scott voted against it.
Here is an example taken from the
Wheeling Register:
at will he noticed that Mr.. Wat
son cast an affirmative vote upon
the resolution providing for choos-
ing United States senators by direct
popular vote. Some Democrats had
misgivings as to his attitude on that
question His stand on the side OF
the people is in striking contrast to
that OF Senator y. Il. Scott, who
voted 'aainst the measure notwith-
standing his public utterances JUS
tilted the general belief that he
would vote for it,"
provisions We're injected into Tho
bill by amendment, which were oh.
jectionable to a number OF southern
senators as they feared the bill on
erative might make undesirable
changes in the franchise systems Of
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1911-03-09

the southern states, and such lead
Ing Democratic senators as Bacon of
Georgia, Money of Mississippi. Taiia-
ferro OF Florida, Percy OF Mississ-
ippi, Tillman OF South Carolina,
Foster OF Louisiana, and other
southerners voted against 1t the same
as did Senator Scott. 1t would seem
under the circumstances that Sena-
;or SCOTS vote was along the line
eontended for by the South, while
Senator Watson's vote was in oppo-
sit'on to several of the real leaders
of his party. From Democratic
viewpoint there ought to be more
consolation derived from Senator
SCOTS vote than from Senator Wat
sons, and the state Democratic
press is resorting to bad logic in or
der to create a favorable sentiment
for Watson at the expense OF sena-
tor Scott.

Noble WORK hy Republicnns.


Amusing indeed are the efforts OF
several Democratic newspapers TO
apologize for the work OF the recent
session of the Democratic legisla-
ture. Some OF them deplore the
failure to do what was set before
the Democratic legislators to accom-
plish and excuse the negligence on
the ground that Republican senator's
blocked most OF the legislative work
during the session. About the time
this sinks in, other Democratic news
papers gushingly declare that the
session was the best and most sue
cessful held in number of years.
The Huntington Advertiser in
deep anguish sobs out the following
regrets and lamentations:
while discussing the perform
ances or failures of the recent ses-
sion OF the legislature, the Republic
can newspapers Of the state should
bear in mind that it was not a Demo-
cratic legislature, and that the
Democrats cannot he held respon-
sibie for the failures of the session.
1T was never within the power of
the Democrats in the legislature to
pass single party measure, nor to
pass any measure that did not re-
ceive the support OF at least some
Republicans.
THE Democrats controlled the
House OF Delegates by a big ma
jority, and many good measures
passed that house only to meet de-
feat in the Senate. The Senate was
evenly divided between the parties.
Without Republican votes the DEM
ocrats could not pass single
measure through that body. And
it should be borne in mind that the
defeat of most of the measures
whose failure has brought criticism
occurred in the State Senate. In
addition, Republican governor
Hau inc power oil veto over every
measure that was passed by the two
houses. and he early made It known
that no strictly Democratic legisla-
ton would fail to bring about the
exercise OF the veto power.
The legislature failed to measure
up to expectations in many ways,
but it should be borne in mind that
a large part of the responsibility for
this failure must fall upon the
shoulders of the Republicans in the
State Senate, who were able to
block any legislation they did not
approve, and who for weeks refused
to take any part in the sessions.
