sistance Of the Lord Penn, one of the

Mntson ANA lE.ectIon, :.

chilton's newspaper says the Fair
mont election was a triumph for
Watson.
Since the election of Democratic
city ticket these days is interpreted
to mean a Watson triumph, and
that seems to DE what the Demo-
cratic state machine thinks about it.
it may safely he pasted In ones hat
that there S large part of the
Democratic party in clarksDurg that
will see to it April A that Watson
does not thus triumph in clarks-
burg.
While it is not the kilograms
fight as to Watson and the Demo
cratic party in Clarksburg; Demo-
Gratis generally here declare that
the legislature gave them more
Watson than they wanted and the
correct conclusion is that they do
not intend to let the city ticket re-
peat the dose.

Hold C. Dunfee is using the Expo
nent to fight several other candI-
dates on the Democratic ticket with
him. HE is the nominee on that
ticket for city clerk. What he says
below is severe censure for some OF
the other candidates ON the ticket,
or at least their friends say
so. These candidates are under
taking to make the impression that
they are for a square deal" and
they have those words printed on
their campaign cards along with
their pictures. Mr.. Dunfee tells
them as follows what he thinks OF
their square deal" business: (
The words square deal have

strcet Paving ouestion.

Because a paving contractor after
he had gotten we'll into the work OF
his contract found himself unable
to proceed with the work, and in
mid winter at that, the Democratic
mouthpiece undertakes to censure
the city government it praises as
being good.
The history of the trouble shows
an earnest desire on the part of the
city administration to bring about a
situation that would obviate the de-
lay, and to avoid having the work
tied up in the courts for months,
perhaps a year or more, the trouble
was adjnsted, when the city finally
succeeded in inducing the contractor
to pay for labor already done
and material already furnished,
most Of which was local. commend
able act on the part of the city
council and mayor and clerk. as the
contractor might have left such un-
paid.
\ situation faced the city govern
ment. UP to which it fully meas
ured, and though there has been in
convenience brought about by the
contractors abandonment of the
work as stated, the residents of the
wards mentioned 10y the Exponen;
are predetermined than it as the
Democratic city ticket will learn
election day.

Where the Money 4.

In order that the Democratic
moqtRDiece may have ample dine to
convince itself that the money de,
rived from the bond issue has not
been misrpprc2rlated and has MOI
entirely disappeared as It intimates,
it Is invited to make an inspection of
the books and the Telegram is inform
ed that 1t can nave the opportunity to
examine them in a private room,
where it will not have its thoughts
disturbed or its brain befuddled by
the common routine of life. Also
there will be no time limit and SO
1t can thus engage itself up to the
very eve of the election In an effort
to discover a condition that does not
exist.
Meanwhile for its benefit the Tel
egram will remind the Exponent
that monthly statements are made
zip by the water and sewerage board
and public reports made to the city
council. The Exponen. probably re-
calls the fact that 1t has published
summaries of number of these ana
never raised such question before.
1t has raised it now only in an eff
fort to hoodwinl the voters OF the
city. a,s
z, The Last monthly statement OF the
water board 'bears date of December
IS, 1911. u: shows the amount Of
money on hand in both the water
works and sewerage funds, and the
amount expended. The expendi-
lures are backed Dy cancelled vouch-
ers, which are accessible at
any time for the ,Exponent's inspec-
ton, scrutiny and examination. That
report shows balance in the water
works Improvement fund OF $1l13,-
1892 in the hands of the treasurer
of the city, who is a nominee on the
Democratic city ticket for re-elec-
ton. 1t further shows balance in
the sewerage fund OF $15,254.Sn,
which is also in the hands Of the
city treasurer. This money is safely
deposited in bank. The statement
further shows that $129, 911.T2 de-
rived from the bond issue has been
spen: by the board.
The work of improving the two
systems is being completed accord
ing to the time limit In the contract
and the estimates are being paid in
accordance with the contract. So,
there can he no reasonable COM
plant that the money has not been
spent quickly enough, except on the
part of the Exponent which gives
signs of desire that the money dis
appear in night or the wish that it
had already disappeared, unless its
question is merely asked in order to
learn whether there is sufficient
amount on hand to Justify the Dem
ocratic city machine members to a.
tempt to emulate the Democratic
Legislators at Charleston, who dis
played remarkable aptaess for
handling" big money.
Thirty thousand dollars only went
to the general government of the
city from the bond issue, Several
paved streets at the lowest bid and
$1S. 900 or a little more in the
hands or the city treasurer show
what has become of that money.
The amount is so small, however
tha. Democrats who handle" big
money, as already stated, would not
worry sDout it and so there is no
need 10 make further mention OF
the fact tina; the city treasurer still
has a large part OF that fund in his
hands. Rather il Is in the Bank

Prepare for Election, Nov. 7, 1911

Lexington, Va, Apr. II, 1911.
My Dear Sir:-The election to be
held on Now, 1911, is a most i'm
portant one. Some or all tho officials
IN counties and cities and the entire
membership of theSenate and House
of Delegates must be elected. The
fact that two United States Sena-
tors are to be elected by the
next General Assembly, and that
somebody will probably be
called upon to say whether
or not the people shall vote on State
wide Prohibition will cause the State
organizations of the Democrats and
the Wet and Dry forces to make un-
usual efforts to qualify electors fav-
urable to them. while the city and
county contest will put the local
people interested therein similarly
actively at work. 1t is OF the very
greatest Importance that our own
people everywhere in the State re-
uOuOlo toelr eHOrtS 10 nave every
Republican qualified to vote. If
this is done We shall materially in
crease our representation in the
next General Assembly, and also
capture a number OF additional coun-
tv and city offices-a continuance OF
which work will finally win the
State.
Saturday, May the 9th, 1911, is the
last day on which the voters can pay
so as to qualify themselves to vote
this year.
