campaign in West Virginia is-TIII
LEGISLATURES.
On carrying that branch Of GU
state government the Corrupt Bose!
and thu Agents Of Crooked Corpora
tions have centercd all their insdi
uous Doodle and cunning Brains.
1t is the same gang of bribers thai
bought up the Democratic Legislature
in 1911, and which has been con
demned by practically the entire press
OF that party, the masses Of the people
OF the state, and the voice Of right
eousness which thunders from the
pulpit.
The motives behind this combina-
ton OF Political Bosses, allied with
the criminal agents of Big Interests,
are the same that spurred them on to
Rape the Rights Of the People of this
State less than a year ago.
THEY ARE:
FTRST-The reelection of Clarence
Watson TO the United States Senate
The INTERESTS Need his vote There
SECOND-The control of the State
Government SO that the tax system.
established after years Of bitter
struggle on the part of the Republi-
can Party i'll its efforts to equalize the
burdens of taxation between the Com
mon People and the Great Corporations
may be destroyed, and the old system
by which the Corporations paid one
fifth Of the Taxes and the People the
other four-fifths. may be restored
With the issue clearly defined be-
tween the Republicans and Democratic
Parties in West Virginia this year on
State matters, there should be no
party lines.
THERE CAN NOT BE ANY PARTY
Uses DIVIDING MEN OF WEST
VIRGINIA WHO BELIEVE IN HON
ESTY, DECENCY AND THE RIGHT
OF THE PEOPLE TO RULE.
For this reason:
Under the control of the three
Bosses-Watson, Chiffon and Mac
Corkle, who represent corporate
greed and crooked business, and who
stand charged by the honest, fearless
members of their Own party with it's
Betrayal and with the commission OF
Shocking Crimes against the Liberties
OF the People, have absolute domina-
ton Of that party from Top to Bottom,
from the Core to the Rind.
THEN
Ihere is nothing that Honest, Law
abiding and Patriotic Democrats can
do as good citizens except vote against
the candidates of these Bosses who
have stolen the Clean Livery Of that
party and are paradng in il, impu-
IDENTIFY COMMANDING Democrats to
support them I'm the name of the
party and branding all those who
refuse to do their bidding, as PARTY
TRAITORS"
from purely party standpoint
these men have no right to appeal 10
the loyalty of any loyal Dcmocra,
Hhcy, themselves, fought that party
IN the years Of its Distress They were
not democrats in the years of Bryan's
candidacy. NOT THEY. They were
traitors too, and Enemies of the
Democratic Party.
And they are that Now, for they
nave done those things to it which
have weakened it in the eyes Of thc
pubic; have caused good people to
lose the confidence in it which thew
showed when they voted it into power
two years ago.
No Democrat need question his
party loyalty by voting against tho
interest and the Hand-Pickcd Can1i.
oates Of these Bosses. He NAV vel
question it if he is Of mind to vote tt
Endorse the Crimes they have com.
nittcd and to commit his party's or.
ganization into their hands for MANY
YEARS TO COME.
1t is the duty Of every partv-1ov
ing Democrat to vote to Clean In IN,
party OF this Criminal Outfit. To hoI,
TO start over again and build uD tb,
party to stand for the things wh;c;
1T has always stood for in West Vir
ginia, till Watson, Chiffon and Mae
Corkle got hold Of it and throttlcd il
an1 made party REPRESENT T1V1
Of the most corrupt Bossism in exist
Cncc in the United States, allied witt
as Crooked Predatory Wealth as eve
battled with the people for their Con
sttutional Liberties
THERE is ONE WAY-and onl
