Gagged.

! While berating Hugh Ike Shottr
of Bluefeld, for being a supporter
OF President Taft, the Clarksburs
Exponent has gotten itself into
warm water and Mr.. Shott's news
paper, the Bluefeld Daily Tele-
graph, shows that the warm water
gives forth rather disagreeable
odor. While admitting with pride
that Mr.. Shot is a Taft admfrer
and stating for the Exponent's ben
eft that Mr.. Shot Is postmaster at
Bluefeld, the Telegraph sets these
facts against the Exponents record
of inconsistency and it's hunger for
a similar federal position. The
Telegraph deduces that the Expo
nent has had the gag applied to 1t.
Says the Telegraph:
Hugh IKE shot, in erum Grating
the many things that he says he is
proud of. forgot to include the facts
that he is postmaster of Blueheld,
a nd a member of the machine Re
publican conmt htee. This must have
been an oversight ON the part of
Hugh Ike, for surely he is not
ashamed OF riding i'm the Hitchcock
and scott band waEon.-Clarksbu
Eclpon emit.
NO we do not overlook the fact
that Hugh Ike Shott was postmas-
ter at BIuefeld, nor do we overlook
the fact that the Exponent's efforts
are in behalf OF men who pay its
bills and use it for their own polit-
icaI advancement, and that it does
as they say, and we have the goods
to prove this assertion. In January
the Exponent said editorially:
as Nor the Democracy of West Yir-
ginia, it would cease to be militant
party under the leadership of Chill
ton.
The Exponent has only a postmas-
tership in sight-dlm and misty
and consequently won't reiterate
the above. And further it said:
Tho reputation and overthrow of
the DeurpOcratic party, with William
e. Chiffon as tho man they had sent
to the United States Senate. would be
