to attract as many Of the thousands
of visitors as were expected there

The basis upon which this loss IS

Our DUTY at Horney

While 1T is generaEiy regarded
that the head of political ticket
carries the ticket through or causes
its defeat, there should be no action
on the part of any party, voter that
would bring about the latter because
of a. disappointment as to- ths2nead
OF the ticket.
There may be Republicans in
West Virginia who are not pleased
with the presidential nominee, vet
that does not justify them in
Ialaughtering the ticket. The yari-
Gus other members OF the ticket are
not to be held accountable for any
candidacy except their own, al
though 1t is but natural as matter
OF party pride and party loyalty to
contend for the triumph OF the
whole ticket. No one believes that
the head of the ticket would; derive
pleasure in carrying the state alone !.
West Virginia Republicans have a
duty at home as,weIl as from asna-
tional viewpoint. The tBluefield
Telegraph defines that duty very
clearly as follows: &:
The Republicans OF West Viz
ginia should take stock of the situay
ton in which they find themselves
since the Chicago convention. Be-
fore: that trouble developed a ticket
had been nominated There was no
question OF that ticket having been
selected by the great majority OF
the {Repubhcan. voters, who had "a
free and fair expression Of their
preference. The. same can be said
of the selection of delegates to
Chicago, and there was a general
submission TO the result in: spite Of
the opinion as to the FIunttpgtoa
convention "a 4 J,
= The Republicans of West Virginia
are morally bound first to do that
which. is to the best interest Of their.
nelghbors and friends who make up
the personnel OF the state, district
and county tickets. The candidate
for each minor office is as much en-
titled to the support OF his party :or
that Office as any candidate for the
presidency can be. To him II may
mean as much as election means 20
the other. The idea that because
a preference for the presidency Is
not chosen 1t gives one license to
do something that will destroy the
chances OF those for whose nomina-
ton he is responsible is not sound,
Why should course be pursued by
anyone that will in the least endan-
