The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1911-04-06
Exronent Klckinc Acnin.

After a long silence, the Clarks-
burg Exponent shows signs again OF
kicking out of the party traces. 1t
may be that 1t can stand hitched
only few weeks at a time. AT any
rate its hind heels are about to get
into action again as the following
taken from its editorial columns
shows:
The Charleston Gazette and the
Fairmont Times are apparently en-
gagged in an effort TO drive out OF the
Democratic party all those Demo
Gratis who do not subscribe wholly
to their ideas of Democracy. AIbso-
lutte suoservience-to the men and
the measures-particularly the
men-endorsed by themselves would
seem to be the standard which they
set for every other Democrat, says
the Huntington Advertiser.
The newspapers in question would
do we'll 10 go little slow in the
matter. They are not yet the Demo
cratic party in West Virginia, nor
are they the chosen mouthp;eres OF
the Democratic party There are
many points upon which their own
Democracy is not of the s!mon-pure
variety. Their own devotion to the
men and measures of the Democracy
has not always been so ardent as
they, would now have us believe,
and their assumption.<of d1ctatory
powers within the party can but be
resented. There are Just as good, Il
not better, Democrats in West Vir.
ginia than the Gazette and Times
who will take issue with them on
many points. The average Demo
.crat is thinking for himself these
days. lHe does not always agree in
everything with his nelghbor. But
the Democratic party Is dig enough
and broad enough to include them
ALL 1t is not bound Iby the limita-
lions set by any one man or fly any
one or two newspapers. The De-
mocracy will need al! the votes
possible in the next election, and
they will not lbe achieved by news
papers presumiug to represent the
party reading out OF the party every
man who does not fall in line be-
hind them.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1911-04-06
INC House NLInorlty.

With Representative James r.
Mann as leader of the minority
party in the House, made such by
the unanimous action OF the Repub-
lican caucus, the Republican party
will have the kind of leadership that
will enable it TO be aggressive and
influential in the measures brought
before the popular branch, says the
Baltimore American. The Republic
caus are in the comfortable situation
of having the Democrats to shoulder
the responsibilities OF the session in
so far as the House of Representa-
tives is concerned, and yet to be
brought sQuarely to the require
ments of the Republican president.
1t will ne Impossible for the Demo-
Gratis to get through any legislation
that does not meet the approval Oh
the party that has the minority in
House. but majority in the Senate
and its representative in the White
House.
President Tan has declared his
purpose to veto any general tariff
measure that might be enacted, and
labor OF this kind by the Democrats
would be lost. 1t would not even
count in the general benefits of the
party in the presidential contest, as
the country does not want and will
not have general tariff revision. Any
such course, if attempted, would be
regarded as reactionary and NEE;
the stern disapprovai of the business
interests of the country. It would
lie looked upon as mere pretense by
the voters and no sympathy would

they gather for luncheon to be sub
divided among three Of the biggest
hotels, the fact is one to be noted.
And this was not gathering of what
are commonly known as advanced"
women, but Of women whose ideals
have remained conservative and
whose vital interest is still in the
home and the church. They did not
meet to agltate for the ballot or to
redress social wrongs and demand
new rights, hut to forward work
which was one Of the first to which
their sympathies were attracted and
which, as their numbers conclusively
prove, is still nearest their hearts.
Such gathering Of women in
European capital would have attract
ed the worlds attention from its mag
nitude alone. In New York 1t passed
as hardly more than an incident OF
the week. Yet its significance is nQs
obscured. 1t has been left to the
women of the missionary societies to
Guido all other representatives o.
feminine interests and activities in
making the most impressive of all
demonstrations of the power of won:
ans influence.

4 be engendered for the Democrats
when # received the veto they in.
-vited.
Mr.. Mann and the House minority
have every reason 70 feel satisfaction
in the work that will fan to them.
This will he to keep the Democrats
stepping along the presidential road
way, It VIII be to preserve tide aligl-
ment of the House for lMr. Tafrs
policies. it will be to secure the en-
actment OF the things for which the
administration stands. Nothing
aside from reciprocity and provis-
ion for a general tarin commission
may oe expected from the present
Congress except the success of the
measure for the popular election OF
senator's
Various blind-alley measures will
be published, such as probing the ex-
ecutive department and economy re-
forms, but nothing will come from
these occupations designed to kill
time and please the variegated DEM
ocratic constituency. The three
cornered fight for leadership in the
Senate between Senators Culberson.
Bailey and Stone will be the enter
tanning feature OF the senate,s con-
tribution to the extra session, and
this will doubtless come about
through the Arizona and New Mex
leo admission issue. Senator Bailey
having in a pet resigned from the
Senate on account of the vote of his
party on Arizona statehood in the
closing moments of the last session,
will view with much concern and
soreness the esging on of his party
associates to cut across his bows.
Relieved of responsibility, and yet
sure OF credit, the Republicans can
rest upon plush cushions and view
The Democrats writhing under the
task of seeking to do something that
will give them an advantage and
view with placldity Democratic fac
.ional sparring.

Power OF Women.

Women have given so many exhi-
billions of their collective power and
influence that It requires an unusual
display of numbers to excite remark,
says the New York World. But
though New York has witnessed fem
mine conventions of all kinds and is
as familiar with parades of shirt
waist strikers as with suffragist DEM
onstrations, it has had no such i'm
pressive example of woman's concert
ed activities as that furnished by the
assemblage last week in celebration
of the semicentennial Of woman's
work in foerign missionary fields.

More About the .Electlon.

Some Of Senator Watson's bane-
fciaries among the local Democrats
undertake to make the impression
that the city election held Tuesday
was an anti-Watson demonstration.
The circumstances leading up to the
election show that 10 NE as illogical
as most all other things that partic-
ular element of local Democracy
gets on.
IN. the first place, it is recalled
that the chairman of the Democratic
city committee placed Camden Som
mers in nomination and convention
supposed to be largely comprised Of
persons opposed to Senator Watson
nominated Mr.. sommers for mayor.
The chairman OF the committee is
the same gentleman who put up
such 2 howl against Senator Watson
last winter, when the legislature
was in session. If the defeat of Mr..
sommers was an anti-Watson demon
stration, how does local Democracy
reconcile that with the act of the
so-caned anti4Watson convention in
nominating him?
The Exponent tried to inject SEN
ator Scott into the city campaign,
and were the Telegram 10 resort to
the kind of logic mentioned herein,
II would be justified in saying the
city election was really prescott
victory.

The Exponent announces that
since the various departments of the
city government viii be under the
control OF what it terms the ring
much will be expected. 1t is graft
flying to know that the Exponent
recognizes the fact that the people
consented to have the city go for
ward this year too.

Should there be fewer saloons the
coming year in Clarksburg. the or
gan OF local Democracy will be
found very much out of tune and it
will not send forth the high order
Of music it once boosted would he
produced at all times and under all
circumstances by it.
