Prc table q thing q was 70 Get this
paper from tlfelr department og the
state government. and It kept them
in touch With the actions OF the
state Board Of Agriculture They
win also remember that It was ably
edited, that its editorials were equal,
II not superior. to any Of the farm
papers circulating largely IN west
virginia. This paper went into
many Of the homes of the school
teachers OF this state, thus keeping
them in touch with the agricultural
interests of west virginia. and with
the department Of the state govern
ment which had in charge the IN
terests OF the farmers.
It win be remembered also. that

nj vii be remembered that while
Mr. zinn-was in the employ both Of
his corporation and the state OF

Mr. linn, has continued his duaI
service Of the state and OF the
Pittsburg paper until this day anu
NV We are informed by number
30 reliabIe parties, whose names can
10 oiven if necessary, that, on "A,
INNS own. word. the Naelondi

derstood that. the number of these
subscriptions is not anything undeF
10000. Coming at this time 1t -
very naturally taken for granted
that this paper has given, or onereo
tbese subscriptions for use in Mr.
zjnn,s campaign for the office OF
commissioner of agriculture
Mr.. linn has stated, as we are IN
formed, that he expects to run 49,
900 votes ahead of his ticket Here
again we. must naturally take 1t toE
granted that Mr.. linn expects his IN
lfuence with these subscriptions TO
secure 10000 Republican votes.
Can it be possible that man can
get ON the state ticket Of the great
Democratic party of this state who
will not only perform the double
service to the state and a corpora
ton. as above outlined. which is a
matter OF record and beyond dis
pute. but who is silly enough to IN
dertalze to ,huy his way into Office
with subscriptions to farm paper
and those given by publishing
corporation outside of the state2
Can it be possible that a broad
gauged politician, diplomat and
statesman like Mr.. 9Zinn is supposed
To be. would either resort to such
political methods. or be foolish
enough TO think that the stalwart
citizenship of this state can be pur-
chased in This way?
You can not serve two masters.
