The fake factory is busy again.
The latest fake is that appeal to the
Independent Republicans of iClarks-
burg" A big lot of space was
wasted in an endeavor to make fools
out of Roosevelt Republicans. There
is no Republican, whether for Taft
or Roosevelt, who has such little
sense is to believe that the election
of Clarence Nv. Leggett as mayor
would help Taft, for whom it is al
legged Mr.. Leggett voted, or that the
election of Fleming Holden as city
clerk would result in the nomination
of Colonel Roosevelt. The Telegram
would like to hear what Colonel
Roosevelt would say If such rot were
to reach his ears. The effort Of

In that Leggett write-up studIous
care was taken not to state that the
head Of the Democratic organization
sent word to Fifth ward Democratic
voters to scratch Leggett. Studied
effort was also made to make
no reference to the fact that Mr..
Leggett declared time and again
that it was the Democratic machine
that defeated him. Nor is any ref.

ter that. The "historiana might
have told the public how Mr.. Leg

Democratic gangsters have been
Offering money to Republicans to
work for the Democratic ticket, an
evidence that they nave corruption
fund and a further evidence that
they are not going to leave single
stone unturned to get as many lille
gal votes as they can. They will
resort to their usual trick of crying
fraud and corruption on the part Of
Republicans but they will use
that cry for the sole purpose Of try

corrupting the ballot box. let no

"a. S. Robeys Democratic nominee
in the Second ward for council, is
purported to say that he favors a
registration law for the city! Only
a few years ago Mr.. tRobey received
plenty Of notoriety at Wallace as be-
ing a registration officer there who
took such deep interest in his duties
that the greater part of the reglstra-
ton period he was miles away at
work at something else. The plan
was so heartily endorsed by the
Democratic machine that doubtless
Mr.. Robey still desires to remain in
the good graces of that machine.

with the success OF that department
was Placed in once with the full,

to vote against him now is for them
to say that they do not want that
deparment run In ibusiness-like
way. It Is needless to say that
Mayor Moore has made good. The
Exponent itself says he is the best
mayor clarksburg ever had and
every citizen assents to that. The
office of city clerk has been admins
tered with the very highest eff
aciency and no voter knows it better
than the immediate members of the
Democratic gang themselves as well
asstheir mouthpiece. Nor has there
been any fault found with the de-
partment Of city collector and treas
urer. That fact emphasizes another
that there is no need Of change In
the, once Of collector and treasurer.

the state law is a minor one, it is.

The Democratic nominee for mem
bership on that board declares that
the board is now non-partisan. II
he were elected the board would be
bipartisan instead Of non-partisan
and being bipartisan 1t would be po-
litical. It is better to keep tho
board non-partisan and the only way
to do that lis to re-elect Senator A..
K. Thorn, who has done more the
last three years for the schools Of
Clarksburg than any man who has
served the last decade on that board.
The Democratic nominee says Sena-
tor Thorn has made good. Then,
why not keep him there? The voters
Of the school district will keep him
there.

sue the Telegram points out plainly
and without the slightest exaggera-
tion the superior fitness of the RE-
publican nominees for city council,
and there is every assurance that they
will be elected by splendid major
tiles.

placed before the people with the
sole view Of continuing and making

burg, under which great commercial,

The Telegram was satisfied the
Democratic machine ticket could not
get through this campaign without
manufacturing platform pledge"
The machine always has that done.
This time, however, the pledgers are
in the wrong pew. That registration
pledge OF theirs indicates that they
size up the duties of city councilmen
as being those of state legislators.

If Clarksburg were to get the reg
istration law that Robey ct al prom

follow the Robey example by going
miles away during the registration

fail to figure out why the Democratic
machine should undertake to attach
national prominence to the election.
Maybe 1t is because Colonel Leggett
preferred Taft to Bryan.

hibitionist and believing that prohi-
bition was the thing out in the
Fourth ward, Notwithstanding the
fact that the gang courts liquor in
most Of the other wards, it had him
nominated. There is nothing in the
ward to cause anyone to point with
pride to his record in the city coun-
ell. Mark darkness is the Republi-
lican nominee. He is progressive
and he will get things for his ward
as a councilman. He will make a
record to which the voters out there
can point with pride.
The "sqaure deal" racket is
thread-bare method of men as a sub
terfuge for their recognized weak
ness. Without qualifications that

tomorrow to represent that ward in

sity to put stress thereon.

fications do not go beyond
those Of Senator Thorn. Senator
Thorn assuredly does appeal to the
voters of Clarksburg as man to
keep on the school board. He has
been tried and not found wanting, a
fact his opponent openly comedies.
Great stress is being placed on the
assertion that to elect Democrat
to membership would make the board
non-partisan. 1t might make
it somewhat bipartisan, but
1t would be hard to make
1t more non-partisan than it
is now. Besides, what would one
Democrat be able to do on the
board II the people were to make it
pol tisal board as is now sought
by the Democratic city machine?
Harvey F. Smith under such cir
cumstances would be as herp1ess as
a babe on the board. If the other
two members decided to buy a school
site here on there, how could Mr.
Smith prevent it?
1t is readily seen how much bet
ter it is to keep the board as it is
now, strictly non-partisan, than to
make it bipartisan, in which event
politics as indicated by the explain
ent" in reference to its imaginary
story of the purchase of a school
house site would be injected into the
boards affairs to the extent of de-
stroying its non-partisanship.
