BREACH OF FAITH
CHARGED BY TAT I
ROOSEVELT ACCUSED OF "GROSS-
EST OUTRAGES" UPON
PEOPLE WHILE
PRESIDENT.
UNWRlTTEN PLANkS IN HIS
PLATFORM ENUMERATED
FOR PROGRESSIVE
VOTERS.

Theodore Roosevelt was charged
by the National Taft Bureau, during
the campaign for the Republican
nomination, with having betrayed the
public trust and having been guilty
or the grossest outrages. The Ma.
tional Taft Bureau was the organiza-
ton which, under Mr. Taft's direction
and with his approval, conducted his
campaign for denomination. One of
the articles it gave to the press was
as follows:
While posing as the acme of all
virtue in politics, Theodore Roosevelt
has been guilty in his official capacity
OF some of the grossest outrages ever
perpetrated upon the good faith of
the people of the United States who
like to believe that their Presidents
are what they pretend to be. No
more glazing example of BETRAYAL of
public trust has ever been exhibited
in public office than by Theodore
Roosevelt in his
Official refused to permit the
Harvester trust to be prosecuted.
thereby loading on the farmers of the
country an increase in the cost OF
farm implements of one-third their
price;
Refusal to prosecute the Steel
trust;
3-Dismissal without trial of the
battalion of colored troops involved
in the Brownsville ARRAY;
4-Refusal to revise the tariff dur
ing his seven years as President:
"5-Fawning upon political bosses
while pretending to fay them;
6-Acceptance of contributions
from Z. Fl. Hartman to bring about
his own election as President. while
pretending 10 oppose Hartman.
accepting the word of George
w Perkins of the Harvester and
steel trusts as against the word Of
the sworn law officers Of the Govern
ment;
DIFFERENTIATION to run for a third
term as President after specifically
stating his decision to abide by the
wise custom that no President should
do SO; =
9-Demagogic speeches in This
campaign, including misrepresentation
OF his opponent.
These are only a part Of tho mn
written planks in the National nlat.
FORM or Theodore Roosevelt. They
should be carefully considered along
with his proposed recall of Judges
and judicial decisions and other
known socialistic vagaries for which
ne mas announced himself. although
now attempting to dodge them and
TOOL the people again"

Why a New Party?
What Is the Use of Calling Ones Sell
a Progressive and Voting For
Reactionary Candidates7

Avices from various sections indi
cate considerable hostility among the
Progressives to the plan of the lead,
ers IN this State to endorse the Re
publican State and Congressional
tickets. II is openly stated by many
of them that they feel they have a
night 10 vote for Progressive candi-
dates instead of being compelled to
vote for reactionary candidates on the
ticket of the Republican party, which
they have left.
The State leaders of the Progress
siye party are being blamed for hay-
ing caused the endorsement of the
Republican ticket, and it is said of
tnem by some that because Of person
al ambition they have been will
ing to sell out the new party at its
beginning and turn it over to the re-
dictionary crowd which has controll-
ed POLITICAL affairs in West Virginia
heretofore, simply in order that they
may be in position to capture votes
for the United States Senatorship, in
the event of Republican Legislature,
or to obtain some other good offices.
Back of the endorsement Of the Re-
publican reactionary ticket IN West
Virginia by the Progressive party
there IS treachery, in the opinion Of
many OF the members OF the Progress
slve party who are out and cut Pro
gressiyes and see nothing to gain by
starting a new party and having its
members vote for reactionary candi-
dates.

How Majorjties
AreFiguredOut
PADDING OF REGISTRATION
LISTS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
COMMENCED.
FICTITIOUS PERSONS AND NON.
RESIDENTS ARE REGIS
TERED AS VOTERS.
SAME OLD LISTS DENOUNCED
BY CONGRESS BEING COPIED
IN HATFiELD'S COUNTY,

No one conversant with political
conditions in West Virginia will I'M
dertake to deny that the Republican
majority of recent years has been
largely If not entirely the result of
political corruption and election frauds
in Mcdowell and other counties in
the southern part of the State. The
non-partisan report on conditions in
Mcdowell and Mingo counties, made
unanimously by the Democrats and
Republicans of the elections commit
tee OF the House of Representatives
leaves no doubt that the results of
two years ago were brought ABOUT
through fraudulent voting, repeating
and improper registration.
1t was shown by this non-partisan
report that thousands of persons,
mostly negroes from Virginia, We're
colonized in these counties of West
Virginia and voted repeatedly at pre-
cincts where they had no right to vote
at ALL The voting of these men was
accomplished by reason of fraudulent
registration and it was brought out
in the hearing before the House
elections committee that even Bob
Buskirk's bull dog had been registered
by Buskirk and that a Virginia negro
had been voted under the dogs name.
Word has come from Mcdowell
county that the registrars in prepar-
ing voting lists for the November
election are placing upon the lists all
names that We're upon the registration
list two years ago, including those of
the thousands of illegal voters. fic-
Nd i A..
which We're on the list at that time
They are doing this under a section
OF the law which provides that the
registrars shall transfer from the old
registration list to the new list, the
names of all persons who at the
time of the new registration are legal
voters in their respective precincts.
The action of the Republican reg
lstrars in padding the new registra-
ton lists with illegal voters and fic-
titious names from the old lists in
such a wholesale manner has been
called to the attention of the Demo
cratic State Committee, and Chairman
5. w. Walker has notified the county
chairman of the Democratic party in
every county in the state to resist
such illegal registration in every Dos
sible way and if necessary to take any
case which may arise into the courts.
Every effort will be made to see
that a fair election is held in Nc
Dowell county this year and in the
others counties which have been civ
ing the large Republican maiorities.
But it is apparent that it is the Re-
publican intention to perpetrate the
same old fraud in the home county
OF DR.. Hatfield where he is the politi-
cal boss, as we'll as in the other
counties which have pursued a sim
liar course in the past.

WHY A REPUBLICAN
WILL BOLT HATrrl
To Save a Friend
Taft Bureau Asserts Roosevelt Only
Became Candidate When Steel
Trust Was Attacked.

President Taft has declared through
the National Taft Bureau which had
charge of his campaign for renomina-
ton, that Theodore Roosevelt became
candidate for President only when
the Taft administration had begun a
prosecution OF the Steel Trust. The
National Taft Bureau April 26th last,
gave out a statement to the press in
which it asserted that a few weeks
prior to that time the Taft administra-
/ ton instituted suit which first
aroused Theodore Roosevelt into such
frenzy Of fury against President
Taft that he announced himself a cam
didate for third term as President"
The warm friendship existing be-
tween Mr. Roosevelt and the officials
of the Steel Trust and Mr. Roosevelt's
favoritism for the trust while he was
in the White House have been mat
tiers of general comment for some
time, but from no other sources than
the Taft Bureau has it been charged
that Mr.. Roosevelt became a candi-
date for the Presidency because a
prosecution had been started against
the Steel Trust.
The men who are candidates for
State and Congressional offices on the
Republican ticket are supporting Mr.
Taft and thereby concurring in this
statement that Mr.. Roosevelt only
became candidate for President
when his friend the Steel Trust was
in danger These are the men who
are calling upon the Roosevelt men
to support them and help them into
Office.

CHAPTER VII.
GROWTH IN GRACE.

20 after thirty years walking
49, among his fellows Robert Nc
~ Adoo succumbed to that force
which we call personal attrac-
ton. The friendship. If such 1t could
be called at the beginning, took its
tone from Bob rather than from the
young lawyer, quiet and undemonstra-
tive. With a wisdom born of instinct
rather than of deliberation the latter
consistently subordinated himself to
the older man, never seeking TO OPP
pose his will, And, though the init
macy became closer, always Bob must
listen to habits vigorous protest
against the change. 1t was not until
Remington won his way to the legis-
lature that the protest ceased to make
itself heard.
The friendship. as those who could
observe closely at last came to recog-
nize IL to their utter mystihcation,
was good for McAdoo. Under Its L.
huence he warmed gradually. There
