Snfder Insinuates.
Willard F. Snider, attorney here,
predicts the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party in the state in 1912, in
a published letter dated January 8.
Mr.. snider briefly reviews the re-
cent history OF the Democratic party
in West Virginia, in which he openly
admits that 1t is his belief that the
Democratic party has lost many a
victory in this state because the
campaigns were not in charge OF
progressive Democrats. He CLASH
fies Democrats in West Virginia as
either progressive or "conserva-
tive" and strongly intimates that the
Interests" have a strong hold on a
goodly portion of his party. He
says the party has Parker" Demo-
Gratis and Bryan Democrats, and
the tenor. OF his article is that no
Parker Democrat should be elected
to the United States Senate. He
says the "anti-Bryan forces crowded
into the state campaign in 1885,"
and he gives that as one reason the
Democrats did not elect governor
that year, as in his words Democracy
ought to have elected governor
Judge snider is rather vague in
his distinction and expression of his
motives or what ne is driving at.
Although Alton B. Parker was once
in recent years the Democratic nomi-
nee for President and notwithstald-
ing Mr.. Slider doubtless voted for
him, the le lrred local attorney leaves
the impression in his letter to the
public that he repudiates Mr.. Par
ker completely as we'll as his own
act in voting for him, and desires
none of Parker's counsels in the
party. Bryan. leadership seems to
be Mr.. snider's basis of legislative
action on the question of electing
United States senators, although
Organism had nothing to do with the
recent political landslide. Mr.. Bryan
himself being virtually in political
retirement.
But, Mr.. Snider's persistence IN dts
cussing the senatorial quest o. in
this state leads to the 9 .U5 81
that he has an intent o. sone X nj.
But, what is II? II he is SEEING to
prejudice the members of lie leg 5
lature against some of tn candi-
dates? Or is he voluntary acting
: @arty adviser?
Tho closing paragraph of,h!s latest
address to the public and especially
10 the Democratic members of the
legislature, j which address he pre-
diets certain defeat 10 his party I'M
less the advice he gives therein is
followed, is quite striking. 1t i'm
presses oae with the idea that he is
after one or more of the candidates
for the senatorships with a sharp
knife. But, why not name them?
Here is how the paragraph reads:
The only safe course for the leg
islature. to follow in choosing United
States senators is to elect open,
avowed, regular, progressive Demo
Gratis, that have always stood by
Democratic platforms and heartily
supported William j. Bryan for
President every time he was a can
didate."
