with eigh9or ten thousand dollars
spent in this county only few
months ago by the Democratic ring
sters and those closely allied with
them, it Is downright gall for the
Democratic press to undertake to
deceive voters into believing now
that the Democratic machine has
purged itself of its sin and is now
pure and holy. Let no one be
FOOLED by such talk. But, let every
one watch it, for it is UP to its old
tricks. ITS mouthpiece undertook
to say the fall election was free from
Doodle and booze Ibut it never did
contradict the statement that the
Democratic gang expended at least
eight thousand dollars in that way
to corrupt voters in this county.

democratic Machines.

After the shameful exhibition OF
machine politics in this state by the
Democratic party manipulators, the
best thing for the local machine to
do is to say as little as possible
about machine politics.
Voters do not soon forget the
shameful exhibitions such as the
Democratic leaders have been guilty
of and there are many Clarksburg
Democrats who are so disguised
with Democratic politics as run by
the machine OF their party that they
not only remained away from the
Democratic city convention but they
are also determined not to submit
TO the machine lash.
The mess the manipulators and
the state machine got the party in
down at Charleston will lbe resented
at the polls here this year. Lay
members OF the Democratic party
have their eyes opened to what Dem
ocratic machines will resort to,

Conditionrs Convict.


After what is known about the
Democratic state machines lavish
use OF doodle and booze to corrupt
the politics of the state as well as
those elected to represent the peo-
pie in the Legislature, the Demo
cratic city machine will not he sue
cessful in its pretense that it in
tends. to purge the machine so far
as it can do so in the city election.
Going into this subject "a little,
one finds that the mouthpiece OF the
Democratic machine has been mute
on the corrupt practices OF ae
Democratic state machine. AT a
time when it thought ofiice-lightning
had chance to strike "favorite'
son at home, 1t did mutter some
what against the powers that DE in
its own party. But never a word Of
protest since: When did the pub
lie read 4 demand by the Exponent
for an investigation OF charges of
corruption, bribery and the like at
Charleston? When did 1t clamor
for a fun and complete probe?
When did it denounce the methods
the Democratic STATE machine used
to accomplish certain ends? There
is no answer except never"
AS the condemned actions of the
Democratic state machine. are
passed over in silence 10y the Dem
ocratic city machine and its press,
why should the people here not
believe that the local machine has
condoned the acts of the state
machine, If ever those acts were
condemned by the local ringsters?
Indeed, it is a situation that CON
vfcts and that does not excuse or
commend.

Lack OF Logic.

For lack OF logic, the Democratic
city machines mouthpiece has every
one beat to FRAGILE, the same as
the Moore ticket will have the Som
mers bunch beaten election night.
That sheet in speaking of the good
features Of the city says they exist
without the aiding and abetting OF
what it terms Republican machine.
If one accepts that as fact, the
Exponent should The one of Mayor

that sheet certainly placed him in
the good class, when 1t stated that
he is the best mayor Clarksburg
ever had. AS such according to the
Opponents argument, the machine
that it talks about had nothing to
do with making him mayor.
Then, there is Harry l.. Brooks

has Ibeen praising. They come IN
the class Mayor Moore is in and the
Exponent can well afford to support
them too.

That Word. Great.


The local Democratic machine can
not get away from the methods
used by its party in the fall cleo
ton and later at Charleston. A
slush fund bears on its mind heavily.
1t is bent on having such fund
and the only thing troubling 1t is
the size of that fund.
Note the admission of the ma
chimes mouthpiece, In speaking OF
the Democratic candidates and
such fund 1t used this phrase. "all
having agreed not to raise great
slush fund" The admission is suf-
ficient to emphasize the fact that it
is the size OF the fund that is under
consideration and not whether there
is to rbe s!ush- fund. The mouth
piece makes 1t quite plain that there
is to lbe such a fund but that 1T is
not to lbe a great" one.
Having informed the public that
there is to be slush fund, the peo-
pie will await the candidates
definition of the word, great"
whether It is to run up to the stu
pendous amounts used at Charleston
to corrupt and be corrupted
or whether there is to be

Stoons Low.

What miserable, despairing straits
the Democratic machine must find
itself in to fight police officer over
his fathers shoulders. The father
certainly has the. right TO be for his
sons reelection just as the great
majority of the people of Clarks-
burg evidently are. The father has
a right to be proud of'the record
made by the son as a police officer,
a record that the mouthpiece has
given the public to understand is good
as it describes him as valiant" and
Brave" and being an "alert chief."
That is a sample OF the high
toned policy the mouthpiece once
announced to the people it would
have. What can the public think OF
such contemplate methods. The
voters will say election day that
that sort of campaign does not suit
them.

Houck was obliged to do most Of the
leading, Thomas essaying it less than half
q dozen times during the entire six rounds.
He appeared to have dread of Houcks
grueling ability on the inffghtihg, and
kept covering his body, continually, leav
ing his head exposed. until Houck began
sticking in his ugly left jabs. when he
gave his head better protection. Houck
drove Thomas to the ropes dozen times,
but was prevented from Furnishing Thomas
to the limit by the Californian's clinching
tactics.
In the opening round Thomas managed
to get in a stiff jab to Houck's jaw, and
was rewarded with two wicked left jabs to
the jaw in return.
In the fourth round Thomas tried and
missed wicked uppercut. The fifth
opened with one Of Houck's PUSHES, and
he landed four stiff jabs in quick success
sion on Thomas's jaw, causing his head
TO rock like a cradle. He then drove
Thomas to the ropes and plugged his
