!. "A few. days ago Democrats OF
West Virginia again saw themselves
betrayed by their representatives or
by the men delegated to carry out
the will OF the party: iBnt the
Democrats of the state were
thoroughly familiar with most Of
those traitors and embezzIers Of
power, and had no valid reason
whatever for selecting them to rep
resent the party at the Baltimore
convention. They knewSthat: some
of those men had been guilty OF
base treachery to the party in pre-.
vious years and that there was
scarcely man on the delegation
who had ever, been recognized as a
loyal champion OF real progressive
Democracy. ,.a
IAN overwhelming majority Of the
delegates to the convention that Sc
lected the six delegates-at-large
claimed to be progressive and in
hearty sympathy with the most ad.
vanced Democratic thought; and It
is quite likely that as much could
be said OF the delegates to the sew
eral district conventions. And yet
those delegates chose for their rep
resentatives at the Baltimore con.
vention some men who have always
been infmical to the principles OF
progressive Democracy-men in
whom there is nots and never has
been, one drop of pure Democratic
blood-men whose interests lie with
predatory wealth rather than with
the plain5 common people.
OF the six men who we're chosen
at the state convention at Parkers-
burg not a one had ever been con-
sidered as an exponent of political
progressivism, and every delegate

the fact, or at least ought to have
known 1t. 81:
