An Exclamation.

Williamson, w. va. Aug. 8, 1912.
Editor Progressive West virginian:
Having been informed that my
name was placed before the Demo
cratic county convention held at the
court house today, as candidate
for nomination for Prosecuting At
torney by one of my admirers, I
wish to inform my friends that this
was done without my knowledge,
and that 7 would not have been in a
position to have accepted such nom
nation had 1t been the pleasure OF
the convention to have rendered
same to me.
I value very highly the interest
of my friend who placed my name
before the convention and the COM
plimentary remarks made regarding
myself for which acknowledge my
gratefulness
The constitution OF the Socialist
party, of which | am member, does
not permit its members to fuse or
COM ine with any other political
party or organization, and such COM
bination constitutes party treason,
and results In expulsion from the
party.
In closing would say the dele
gate who presented my name to the
aforesaid convention would undoubt-
eddy not have done SO had he read
my letter on page of your paper
Of the issue of August the first. and
I desire to call the attention Of
readers to the aforesaid letter, who
may presume thateI had knowledge
of the fact that my names was to
be presented.
Very truly,
THOMAS WEST.

Woodrow Wilson has written Of
Bryan that he was "a dangerous

of Bryan" Was Bryan the small,
selfish and vain man who accepted
the fattery OF Clark and who resent

proved bigger than flattery, bigger
than criticism, bigger than any 9TH

He dominated the situation by sheer
force of character. And he vii re-

Here in the United States, too, at
times we do much harm with
thoughtless writings in which the
self-hypnosis of brilliant Journal
ism lulls to sleep the nobler and

more than we should rom the er-
teuts of loose and uniformed talk
of our foreign relations by persons

Philander C. Knox, secretary OF

last night before the Pan American
Society in session here:
"Mr. President and members OF the
Pan American Society:
From an examination OF the

find that thesobtects of the society

ton to representative Latin Amer

ing no political policy, which the
society may deem wise to develop

graduate you in having accom-
plished the organization of society

cast aside all unworthy malevolent
of sinister motives or male VIOLENT
designs.
Many difficulties confront the bet
torment of our mutual relations and
among them not the least is the In
adequacy OF press facilities between
our various countries. Apparently
persons who, through the misunder-
standing of the different countries
concerned, are best able to satisfy
their own sinister and selfish de-
signs and purposes and reap gain
therefrom have up to the present
contrived that practically only the
so-called news least likely to draw
us close together has been given
wide circulation. False interpreta-
lions have wickedly been placed on
our governments acts and designs
and likewise sentiment hostile to
the United States has been created
and. reciprocally, the conditions ex-
listing in the other republics have
been grossly misrepresented here.
In number of the Latin Ameri-
can republics, especially those less
advanced and less fortunate in their
internal affairs. 1t is the regular Gus
tom in some quarters to insult the
fair name OF the United States OF
America by making it the play
thing of intriguing politicians. The
Vaccinations of such selfish schemers
supported by the yellowist element
of the local press, strive to conjure
up false stories of American policy
and so to impose upon local opin-
ion. What painful spectacle this
is to all honorable and patriotic
citizens of the American republic!
How long SHAH such sinister propa-
ganda, obviously for Interior and
unworthy motives, ne able to exert
its baleful influence upon Pan
American feeling! Such bogies as
are used to frighten children should
not be imposed upon grown men.
AS an amusing example of the
manner in which news is sometimes
distorted Il shall read a translation
of brief article recently appearing
in one of the leading South Amert-
can daiLies:
Washington. April according
to the report made to Congress by
the secretary of the treasury, a

secession, fifty years ago.
