Democratic Promises.

"A Democratic promise in West
Virginia means exactly the opposite.
This fact was demonstrated at
Charleston this winter, when the
legislature was in session. The
party had made campaign on a
platform and with stump speeches
and press articles declaring against
the special interests. What did it
do after it won? The premise TO
The people to legislate against the
special interests was not kept. In
stead the party's representatives
with only a few exceptions went
over body and soul to those inter
es;s. They not only went over to
them but they sold out to them.
That is how the leading Democratic
promise was kept. The JOB had the
approval of the Democratic state
machine as now constituted, not
only its approval but the machine
aided and abetted the sell-out to
the interests, in fact it negotiated
the deal.
If a pledge so loudly proclaimed
was not to. be kept, when it affected
the entire state and was OF vital I'M
portance to the Democratic party
and its future in this state, why
should any voter believe that a
Democratic pledge in the city CAM
paign would be kept? May not the
parts Of machine me judged by the
whole Of it? If the machine itself Is
guilty OF breaking pledges so easily
is not any part OF it part and par
eel Of that act, and If guilty in one
instance would it not Toe so inclined
in, another instance?
For instance, TO show what utter
disregard the Democratic machine
has for its pledges, permit the Tele-
gram to call attention 10 the follow
ing resolution adopted here year
ago by an organization, whose coun-
ellis we're actively participated in by
number Of the members of the
Democratic city machine:
1--WE are opposed to the licensed
saloon and the sale of liquors and
pledge our candidates, II elected, 10
make this dry town.
That was a pledge the Democratic
machine helped 20 make and 70
which it subscribed only twelve
months ago and yet a single year
finds the leading members OF the
machine reversing themselves by
naming men for Office who are not
only not opposed to the sale OF
liquors but in at least one instance
is selling them. This reversal of itself
in so brief time taken with the
state machines broken pledges en-
phasizes the fact that Democratic
promises are merely made not to be
kept but to fool the people into
voting for Democratic candidates.
Many promise will he made thi:
campaign Toy the Democratic cand!'
dates and voters OF all parties should
he on their guard in order that they
may not be hoodwinked.

state Machine ut Work.


The mayor, the chief OF police,
members OF the police force. the
school hoard, the health department,
the water works and sewerage
board have all been endorsed in an
unmistakable manner this year by
the mouthpiece OF the Democratic
ringsters. There is no getting
around that fact for its own col
umns prove 1t beyond the shadow
OF doubt.
In addition many Democrats admit
that the city has fine government.
Many OF them do not hesitate to say
that Frank R. Moore is good
mayor. They go one better by say
ing that he is the best mayor
Clsrksburg ever had.
Leading Democrats have no hesi-
fancy in praising Harry l.. Brooks
as chief of police. They recognize
the fact that he is faithful. dill
gent, conscientious officer.
With such adpissions; why the eff
fort to overthrow condition that is
so satisfactory? Is the Democratic
state machine busy here with a view
TO entrenching itself for the general
election in 1912, when a. legislature
will tbe elected that will select a
United States senator? Many
Democrats are convinced that such
is, the situation.
