wants to Fool Negroes.

Democratic newspapers have much
to say about the alleged "blacb
belt" in this state. but the Demo
cratic state convention did not GO
ON record against that belt. do you
know the reason no such record was
made? A very good guess is that
the Charleston end of the Dem
ocratic state machine depends on a
Ebribed colored vote of 500 or 500 in
Kanawha county to put its slate
through when it comes to primary
elections. OF course It is very ex-
penslve but that is the only way in
which the machine can rule there.
7 The state convention had there
fore to eliminate its usual plank
against coIored people. but let, no
colored voter be deceived by that

Weak Woody Wilson.

Open admission is made by the Elk
ponent that the Democratic state
ticket is not very satisfactory. to the
Democratic party as a whole in West
Virginia. In speaking of one of the
members OF that ticket the Exponent
says that his nomination means
many a vote for the Democratic
ticket that would otherwise re-
main at home"
Well. well! The Democratic state
ticket was not nominated until az
ter the Democratic national ticket,
and out comes the secret that there
were many Democrats going to stay
at home, II the member OF che state
ticket referred to by the Exponent
had not been nominated. And, on top
OF all OF this, the public was being
told by the Exponent before the
democratic state convention that
every Democrat was for Wilson and
would vote for him. The admission
made by the Exponent, therefore,
not only applies to the state ticket
but also to the national ticket and
the Opponents Moses is now to lead
both the state and national tickets
out of the wilderness.
But, If many Democrats. did not
intend to go to the polls If that
Moses were not nominated, how is 1t
figured out that his nomination was
what was needed 70 give the Demo
Gratis enthusiasm for Woodrow Will
son? Can 1t be possible, as the Ex'
ponent SO strongly intimates, that
the new Jersey governor must de-
pend for his votes upon a man nomi-
mated for a rather insignificant state
office. Weak Woody Wilson!
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1912-07-29

From time to time one reads and
hears from Democratic sources that
the Democratic party in the lower
house Of Congress has accomplished
great things, although nothing in
been %cited as one OF
the achievements. Now, there is
complaint on the part of the Demo
cratic press that the lower house has
not been able to accomplish any
thing on account of the upper house.
Thus, It seems that ali that talk and
political playing in the House OF
Representatives have come to naught.
May the Telegram not ask "wha:
was the use of Democratic House
anyway"

Suppose the Bull Moose conyen-
tion 1t Charleston IDS controlled By
former Democrats and the Demo
cratic state ticket is endorsed. Does
anyone believe that these former
Democrats in Bull Moose convention
assembled win endorse eight electors
nominated ty the Republican party?
The electors can not serve two mas
tiers.
The new party has perfect right
to place It's own ticket in the field
or to endorse whom 1t pleases, but
when it endorses the electors and
they accept such endorsement which
they will be required to do before
they are placed on the Bull Moose
ticket, they make a partial departure
at least from the Republican party
and then are seeking to serve two
masters.
The probable action Of the Bull
Moose convention as to a state ticket
is of far less concern than its action
as to the electors as we'll as the
action OF the electors themselves
Some of them declare they will vote
for Taft. Others have not expressed
their views. Their Republicanism is
not being questioned when they are
asked to express themselves. The
people have a right to know just
where and how they stand.

Meanineless Endorsement.


The Democratic state convention
endorsed the Democratic national
platform. That platform contains a
a provision declaring for the election
of United States senator's by the PEG.
pie.
1t IS not believed that the Demo
cratic state convention seriously
considered that particular plank bul
merely endorsed It as a generality.
IIt Is known that when the two pres.
emit United States senator's induced
the Democratic legislature ito elect
them, the will Of the people did not
prevail. Thousands OF Democrats
viii tell you that and you do not
have to go to Republican newspa-
per to learn it. In fact, everyone in
West Virginia knows 1t is a fact
that the people were not even con.
suited In the election of the two SEN
ators.
AS the state convention was
dominated by the two senators and
as they were foisted on the state as
senators without the consent of the
people. no voter is under the slight
est obligation to believe that the
state convention meant it. when 1t
endorsed that particular plank of
the Democratic national platform.

Woodrow Wilson by his writings
and utterances shows himself
against almost everything the Dem
ocratic party has ever been for. His
mooted progressiveness is something
that antagonlzes and condemns all
things that have been Democratic

After the, little fishes contribute
their mite to the woodrow Wilson
campaign fund, Ryan or some other
trust friend of the nominee will
dump in a big sum and thereby
command Wilson's entire attention.
The popular one-dollar a person
fund is really meant to mean that
the contributor buys MS own vote
for wilson by virtue OF the fact that
he has made an investment to that
amount in Wilson and feels that he
must have a return on his money.
1t is like suckers furnishing their
own bait and then biting. If Wilson
can hook your vote with your
own dollar, he is going to do it.

Party Of Its Own.

Several Republican. newspaperS in
iscRssing the Bull Moose party and
its relation to West Virginia have
fallen into the grave error OF treat
ing It as part of the Republican
party.
1t is not part OF the Republican
party, but 1t is a new party. Wit is
not limited to former Republicans
but extends to men of all former
political creeds as the state and ma
Etional convention calls plainly show.
There will be many former Demo
Gratis lnsit5and it is safe to say that
there will be former Prohibitionlsts,
SocialstsSapd the like in It. Hence,
there is no real excuse for treating
1T as a part Of the Republican partys
In this connection If the number
of former Democrats in the Charles
ton convention July 80 outnumber
the former Republicans in that con-
vention. it is more reasonable to be-
lieVe that the Democratic state
ticket will be endorsed than the RE
publican ticket.
A far more vital feature is the
question OF electors. Eight were
chosen in this state as Republicans
at Republican primary elections, and
by other Republican methods. These
eight men are electors by virtue Of
the fact that they were chosen by
the Republican party in this state.
They will vote for a president of the
United States in the event they
themselves are elected. They can
not be true to the Republican party
and have any part or parcel with the
Bull Moose party. They are ex-
pected, to vote for the Republican
nominee for president, William H
Taft, If they are elected. They
can not and will not be Republicans
