West Virginia will elect SIX
Cor gressmen this year-one
from each of the present five dis.
tricts and one to be elected byI
the voters of the whole State.
Every voter thus votes for twcl
Congressman at large and one|
from his district. Each of the
six Republican candidates is run
ming on two tickets with plat
forms as different as day and|
night, and not one of them has
stated on which platform he will
sfard. If he should be elected.
The Progressive platform, pre-
pared under the personal super
vision of Mr.. Roosevelt, says
':hc Republican organization is
in the hands of those who have
lrokcn and Can not again be
trusted to keep the promise of
necessary downward revision. !"
That Progressive, believing in
lis rarty platform. can vote for
a Republican candidate for Con-
9rcss, seems impossible. That q
Republican could vote for a Pro.
gressive on the Progressive plat
form, seems equally impossible.
If the voter believes in tariff re
cuct!on and wants to know that
his Congressman represents his
views. his only chance is to vote
for the Democratic candidates.

tariff system and wants the tar

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
rAvsNNsa. "waIrea AND rHINkEa" o,vss w THE
FACTS 40 THEY REALLY EXIST.


Washington, July 23--Now that the
people have come to see the sham Of
q high tariff, and to understand that
a continuation of Republican rule
means still further surrender of the
government to the trust plunderbund,
the @. o. p. orators and newspapers
are trying to raise the spectre of hard
times, and to make It appear that
business will falter in the event Of
Democratic success.
Such imbecilities never weary the
Republican mind. Without regard to
the truth, and unimpressed by evi.
dence to the contrary, those men 20
on shouting the same old heresies.
The "hard times" heresy is twin
brother to the long exploded doctrine
that high protective tariff protects
American workingmen, when every
schoolboy in the land knows that It
does no such thing.
A brief review of recent American
business depression provides a full
and sufficient answer to these foolish
arguments. The last panic In this
country occurred less than five years
ago, when all the machinery Of gov.
ernment was in full control of the
Republicans, and when Theodore
Roosevelt, who has cure for all
known political evils, was in the White
House. This panic was the least ex.
cusable the nation ever endured.
The Republican party was in full
control of the government when the
panic of 1853 came about Likewise,
this party was in power when there
came panic in the early part of 1884,
and the country recovered from that
panic during the campaign that re-
suited the election of Mr.. Cleveland.
The Republican party was In full con-
troll Of the government for the four
years previous to the panic of 1893.
which was currency panic clearly
due to the passage, by the Republic.

and thus make 1t appear that the pan
ic was due to the incoming Democrat

The silver panic of 1893, which was

half arcentury that did not occur while

sion of the government. Yet Repub.
lican orators and newspapers. true to
their habit of hiding the facts and
raising false issues, go right ahead
trying, to make 1t appear that the
Democratic party is the party of hard
times.
This Is the heresy of the pronounc.
ed kind, and 1t is safe to assume that
the country will appraise It at its true
worth. The time is passed when the
voters can be fooled. They are de-
manding the truth, and what is more
important, they are showing the ability
to separate the truth from the false

ography, which has been running in
the American magazine and which
soon is to be published in book form,
gives what he considers to be the one
big issue now confronting the Ameri.
can people. He says:
I'm twenty-five years Of political
struggle have found one great issue
overshadowing all others - the en-.
croachment of the powerful few on the
rights Of the many. All the issues of
today are phases of this one great
question. How shall the individual,
the farmer, the worker, and all thos e
who pay tribute, be set free from the
unjust exactions of the tariff, the rail.
roads, and other forms OF oppression
by special interests.
when Roosevelt became president
the total stock and bond issues of the
trusts was $3,7s4, 100000. When he
turned the country over to Taft this
total had grown to s31, ,672, ,OOO, 900, sew.
enty per cent Of which is water.
"The people Of this country are pay.

How "Dissolution" Helps
The Standard Oil company's profit
figures for the six months since Janu.

Courts dissolution decree--show that
the trust has piled up profits of $46,.
6l1.62S. Last year, the Standard OH
company Of New Jersey, the corpora.
tion which distributed dividends for
the trust, paid out profits of $685..
800.
Thus 1t Is apparent that "dissolu.
tion" suits are highly beneficial to
such law defying monopolies as the

A DISTINCTION Also Difference

Lewis Gels, who returned from
2 trip west recently that took in
Twin Falls, Idaho, said that land
in the immediate neighborhood of
that city, that had a good water
right. was selling as high as $500
per acre, and that to obtain land
as low as 500 and $3.50 per acre
one had to go out several miles.
He said, also. that potatoes were
go cents per 100 pounds, alfalfa
hay 30 per ton and everything
else in proportion. We want to
call the attention of our people to
the fact that good land, with good
water rights, can be had within a
few miles of this town for from
$35 TO $50 per acre. While you
are thinking over that fact, please
remember that alfalfa hay brings
$1,000 loose and $3.50 per ton
baled. 1t ought not to ia Ike a
man long to figure out where to
invest his money with The above
figures before him.
