Can Not Hide Sin.


The Democratic state platform
contains a plank as follows:
I'VE condemn the Republican
members of the state senate for
their unlawful and revolutionary
conduct when the Legislature. met in
1911"
The plank should read as follows
to set out the real truth:
I'VE denounce the Republican
members of the state senate for not
letting our party unseat a man
fairly elected. whose election we af-
forwards conceded, and by their ac-
ton deprivlng us from stealing the
Legislature the same as we stole the
governcrship from Judge Nathan
Con when we counted him out.1' ~
When the Democratic party con-
sented to the organization of the
state senate, it plainly admitted It's
inability to steal a seat therein, and
no additional proof is needed to
show its theivous intent.
The Republican members of the
state senate should be congratu-
lated by the people Of the state for
standing out bravely for their rights
and fighting the contemplated steal
next in outrageous disgrace to the
state to that that actually did take
place among the Democratic men,
bers of the state senate and the
house of delegates as so vigorously,
strenuously and voclHerously re-
vealed by Democratic members
themselves.
If the state bosses had not had
control OF the Huntington conven-
ton and II the Democratic party was
not so weak morally, there would
now be in the Democratic state
platform a plank condemning and
denouncing the shame and disgrace
a majority of the Democratic MEM
bers of both the senate and the
house OF delegates brought to the
fair name of the state, and then the
people would take some stock in the
platform. The Democratic party
can not hide its sin by pointing the
accusing finger at Republicans.

other lands is an abshrdity. they
know better, and they know the
reason why The protective tarin
assures to the american manufac-
turer the great home market. and at
the same time maintains American
industry on a higher plane of wages
than prevails in any other country
on the globe. Today. more deanitely
and distinctly than ever before, the
protective tarlR is assailed.
No one can mistake the meaning
Of the declaration OF the Democratic
platform. It means war upon the
entire protective system, and the
American farmer and .American
Workfngman. the greatest beneficial
ries of the protective system, will
not vote with their eyes open for the
enlargement Of political fallacles SO
ridiculous and untrue as enunciated
in the Baltimore platform.

That School Plank.

Read the following appearing in
the Democratic state platform:
Public education, non-pollticai
and non-sectarian, is an absolute
necessity in self-governfng state"
Public education in West Virginia
had its origin in the Republican
party and it has haG most of its
progress from the same source. The
free school never appealed to the
Democratic party in this state until
after It had been successfully dem
onstFated by the Republican party,
its pater.
Ut is'stgnacant that Democrats in
state convention in this modern age
so full of educational activities and
tendencies treated the public school
Question so scantily. The platform
makes a bare assertion without a,
declaration for any thing in this
particular.
Just what the convention had in
mind on this subject no one can tell
from the platform. The state uni
versity has a Democrat at its head
appointed by Republican governor
This is good evidence that the school
system is largely non-poatical. Just
what is meant by "non-sectarian" is
not explained. The state has law
that provides for recognition Of de-
nominational schools in the matter
Of granting teachers certificates and
so forth. 1T may be that the Demo
cratic party is unalterably opposed,
to that law and desires to give, the
denominational schools a. solar
plexus blow.

Brazen Deception.

The Democratic state convention
openly and ,brazenly tried to de.

form:
I'VE reafirm our belief that our
state government has become ex.
travagaut by the unnecessary in
crease in the number of Office.
holders." ~ -
Where does the Democratic party
get its grounds for any such belief?
Does It not know that the creation
and operation of the state board of
control have retired many state Of
ficeholders and where has there
beenthe creation OF new offices since
then?
And. to be honest about it. why
did the convention not set
forth in its platform de-
tailed list of unnecessary of
That one. act would
have saved all the multlfarious ar
gument It will be found necessary
on the part of Democratic press and
stump to uphold or defend, that par
ticular plank.

SO as to be on the side that voted

Senator Chiffon makes no allusion

BREED THEATRE.

A programme that will inspire the hearts of all true Americans is on at the Breed today, and is headed by the great allegortcal feature film entitled '1inoolns Address at Gettysburg" This picture stands without an equal In it's class, and the difficult role of the martyred president is played by a Eaunt young actor scarcely out of his teens. Yet by his extreme depth ol feeling, MT. Ralph Ince makes of this character one of the greatest success es of the Vitagraph company.
 The plot portrays the presentation of the dedicatory address on the bat tlStisld of Gettysburg, Pa, November 4e, 1888. in which Lincoln consecrates the battlefield to the memory of the dead and the inspiration of the liv- ing. As he does so, all of the great battles of the ages past, come to him as a vision, and he sees at what great price Is victory acquired. This film was the recipient of the pronounced approval of an immense house last evening, and can be seen for the last time today.
