The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1911-11-23

cant and if maintained, point to a gain
of two Republican United State Sena-
tors. Maryland elected a Republican
sr. the first time in many
d9lSrs and Rhode island, where the
tariff was the whole issue, went dc
cisive Republican. The majority of
Governor Foss in Massachusetts was
cut down from $4,000 to 1000 but all
the rest Of the Republican ticket was
elected and Massachusetts will be in
the Republican column next year, as
viii all other New England States with
New York and New jersey.
The Congressional elections resulted
very favorably from a Republican stand
point. In the first New Jersey District
where H. c. Loudenslager received only
$40 pluraIityslast year, W. J. Browning
received Z, 1000 this year A Republican
was elected to succeed a Democrat in
the fourteenth Pennsylvania District.
In the second Kansas District a Dema-
crat was elected to fill the uneXpired
term of Mr.. Mitchell, due to a fractional
fight, but the district will elect Re
publican next year. and the indications
are that the Republicans will have
good substantial majority in the next
House of Representatives
President Taft and his friends con-
slider his trip great success from every
standpoint 1t brought him close to the
people and showed them what an earn
est, honest, candid President they have
Mr.. Taft explained his views of public
questions and his arguments were IN
answerable. Especially clear did he
make his reasons for vetoing the Demo
cratic tariff bills Of the extra session.
He showed that the enactment and
operation of those bills would have
brought destruction to our industries
and inadequate revenue to the Treasury.
The bills were simply hodgepodge of
hasty framing-and were devised with
no idea of justice or right.
Much has been said of Mr.. Tafts
jocular allusion next year. 1t was a
semi-facetious remark and nothing
more. Mr.. Taft is a very generous,
whole-hearted man. He is not poll
tician who goes about claiming every
thing. He is the most modest PIesl-
dent we ever had. But he is none the
less confident that he will be reelected
and with him a Republican House of
Representatives He believes in and
relies on the common sense of the
people.
The Presidents trip was beneficial
not only to himself but to the people.
1t brought him into close touch with
the masses and he found out what
they wanted and these wants will be re-
fected in his message to Congress upon
which he is now at work. 1t will per
haps be the most important message of
his first term. He will probably not
allude to the tariff, making that the sub,
ject of a special message afterwards.
But he will advise Legislation that will
help business and carry greater benefits

Scott and tIkins.

Washington, April 2S.--All doubt as
10 former Senators Davis Elkins and
Nathan B. Scott, being in control of
federal patronage in West Virginia as
full as when they were in the senate
was set at rest today when the nomi-
nation of E. G. HarwoOd to be post
master at Mooreiield was confirmed
by the senate. Bitter opposition to his
appointment developed when the FORM
er senators recommended Harwood af.
ter the name of r. N Locks had been
sent to the senate at the last session
upon the recommendation of Congress
man Sturgiss and after Senator
S ,ott had written letter promising
his support to Locke. Mr.. Sturgiss
came on to Washington, reminded the
president that he had already sent in
the name of Locke for the place and
that it was not confirmed because the
senate never reached the consideration
of the name.
The appointment was held up for
several weeks but the senate today
confirmed Mr.. Harwood along with
Albert S. Winter to be postmaster at
Moundsville, who was also appointed
on the recommendation of the former
senators.

The votes Of the two senators from
West Virginia for Senator Martin, of
Virginia for leader of The democratic
minority in The Senate cannot be taken
as an index Of the sentiment of the
democracy of their state. West Vir-
gina democrats would prefer differ
ent sort of II democrat for Martin. His
record ss democrat is not what our
people approve. The record shows him
voting too often with Aldrich and the
standpatters during the consideration
of the abomuaOle Aldrlcb- Payne bill.
lie is too much Of protectionist TO be
leader for democrats
He voted with Aldrich to place a
duty of twenty-five cents a ton on iron
ore. He voted with Aldrich twice in
disposing Of the lumber schedule. lie
voted with Aidrlch against an amend
ment TO recon MT the wooden SEIZED.
ule to the finance committee with in
structions to lower the duties. He vo :
cd with AldTich to admit certain works
OF art, free Of duty. He voted with AZ.
drich against the amendment except-
ing sugar from the free list from the
Philippines. He voted with Aldrich
twice against amendments reducing
The duties on lumber He voted with
Aldrich against an amendment reduc-
ing the duty en- pineapples. He voted
with Aldrich for duty of 90 cents a
ton on bituminous coal and against a
proposition TO make it forty cents a
ton. He voted with Aldrich against
reducing the duty on pig iron, cast
strap iron and scrap steel from 50 So
to S1.00 per ton. He voted with Aldrich
against the Tillman amendment i'm
posing duty Of ten cents a pound on
tea. He voted with Aldrieli for tie
amendment adding the corporation
tax provision to the tariff bill. He
voted with Aldrich also against the
Bailey amendment permitting the
levying of general income tax.
In the face Of this record it would
seem that Senator Martin has little TO
entitle him to be called a democrat. 1t
shows that he has little sympathy
with the people in their struggle
against the privileged class lie has
long been looked upon as a machine
political and there is a strong andlgrow
ing opposition to him in his own state.

Gov. wilson's Triumph.

The session Of the New Jersey legis-
lature which began with the defeat Of
James Smith for the Senatorship nears
its close with the passage of the Geran
bill, the chief legislative measure of
the Wilson programme.
The bill was holly opposed by the
bosses of both political parties, When
after passing the Assembly it came to
vote in the senate, the ayes had it
unanimously. No Democratic Sena-
tor aud no Republican Senator cared
to 20 on record against it. Hereafter in
New Jersey elect on officials are not TO
be appointed by party bosses without
public supervision. These offices are to
be divided between the parties, but
appointments are 10 be made only af-

It further prescribes the manner of

The election in Baltimore city last
Tuesday resulted in decided demo-
cratic victory. Preston the democra tic
candidate for mayor was elected by
$50 majority while the next man on
the ticket had more than 400 1t was
charged against Preston that he was
the candidate of a machine which
caused the majority of the independ-
ents to vote against him. The result
clearly shows that the people will not
longer tolerate machine politics.

The Wheeling Register says:

Senator William f. Chiffon In his
admirable address upon the Virginia
debt question, made before the Mar.
tinsburg board of trade Thursday night
emphasized the point that West vir-
ginia is by the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States brought
face to face with a settlement Of her
share Of the debt of the mother state,
or the alternative OF equalization. The
latter course might open up the ques-
ton VI whether Or not there ID power
In the federal courts and the federal
congress to enforce the DEGREES of the
supreme court. Aside from that point
however, there arises the question of
the loyalty and patriotism of the peo-
pie of West Virginia, which involves
respect for and obedience to the Con.
stitution and the courts, and in which
Mr.. Chiffon has 30 much confidence
that he dismisses as "the thoughtless
suggestion of an excited moment any
propaganda that would put the humili-
alton and the danger upon this state
that might follow from reputation.
In Senator Chilton's view, 1t is
clearly the duty of West Virginia to
make The best possible terms with her
creditors. He frankly states his opin-
ion that the debt case has been badly
nanaued sopoaubara and ha f,r,bax
expresses the conviction that the PEG
pie ought to be Informed just who the
creditors of West Virginia are. He has
confidence IN the people of Vire mia, in
their chivalry, their generosity and
their sense of justice, and he believes
that so far as the interests of the
nother state in the suit against West
Virginia are concerned there will be no
trouble in reaching an amicable uuder-
standing.
The amount which the supreme
court has decided that West Virginia
owes would put a per capita debt Of six
dollars on every person in this state,
Or charge OF about thirty dollars
against the head of every family. How
is this enormous judgment of more
than seven millions of dollars to be
That is matter for future
decision. Mr.. Chiffon says he will as
sist in pressing before congress the
claim that the general goyetnment
should pay part of the deb., which
every competent attorney in West Vir.
gina Woo has expressed hmSefon the
subject believes 10 be a meritorious
proposition. Ii the federal govern
ment rays portion of the debt, it
ought to be possible to make such
terms with Virginia and the real own

There has been considerable dicker-
ing among the bosses of the republican
party in West Virginia over the con-
troll of the federal patronage in the
state but it has been decided that the
old gang Is to still have the clutch On

old gang, dlscredited in the eyes Of The

The people thought after the cleo ion

badly wrecked that it would never be

Will have to pass the state over for
