THE ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday, November 9th, will be
election day, and unless all signs tail the
Democrats will win spendid victory by
electing Woodrow Wilson President OF
the United States. II is believed that he
will receive the largest vote given any
candidate within the last halt century.
As important as the election OF a Pres
ident is the necessity OF electing DEM
ocratic House of Representatives and a
Senate that will be in harmony with the
reforms promised by Governor Wilson,
so we urge all who believe that a change
is necessary, and that the people should
have relief from the exactions of an ex-
tortionate tariff and the greedy trusts, to
vote for Hon. VIM. q. Brown, who is a
candidate for reelection, and Hon. Ben
H. Hiner, candidate for Congressman-at-
large. Both are good men, worthy the
support of every voter.
We earnestly urge the election OF the
Democratic State ticket. A change is
necessary if the people are to be served
best at Charleston. In our opinion, the
election OF DR.. Hatfield as Governor would
be a disaster to the State, for it would
mean an endorsement Of the methods
that he and his colleagues have caused
TO become such disgrace to West Viz
ginia. A change of administration would
result in many needed reforms that can
not here be enumerated. Hon. VIM. K.
Thompson, the Democratic candidate,
would make an ideal Governor, OF whom
all the people could be proud, and the
balance of the State ticket is worthy OF
support. We wish our readers not to
overlook the necessity OF sending Demo-
Gratis to the Legislature, and thus insure
a Democratic United States Senator and
a friendly body TO back up the Governor.
Our county ticket is composed, in the
main, OF good men, who can be trusted
to properly manage our public affairs.
We hope TO see Jefferson county roll
up 900 Democratic majority next Tues
day.

ATTENTION, VOTERS.

We, the undersigned. will contribute

THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

TIE voters of West Virginia will next
Tuesday decide whether or not, at one
mighty stroke, the liquor saloons snall
be abolished in this State. We earnestly
hope and pray that the Prohibition
Amendment may be carried by great
majority, and that this great evil that
curses the State may be abolished. Inc
issue between that which is right and
that which is wrong is so plain that no
further argument is needed, for by public
speakers and publications in the news
papers the people have been fully IN
structed.
We are thoroughly convinced that
public sentiment in this State favors the
amendment and that large majority OF
our citizens desire IFS passage. The only
danger to the cause OF temperance is that
the agents and representatives OF the
liquor interests will on election day cor
ruptly bribe and buy the voters. This IS
the sole hope of the saloonists, the brew
ers and the distillers. The voter VINO
will sell himself for such vile purpose
is indeed lost to all sense OF manhood,
and for honor and decency'S sake we
hope that there will be few i'll this sec
ton who will allow themselves to be
bulled or fooled or bnbed to vote Tor
this curse. In the black belt OF NC
Dowell and Mingo counties, where cor
ruption has for so long prevailed, II IS
expected that the liquor people will have
things their own way, but we trust that
such conditions will not be permitted IN
this section.
We hope that Jefferson county Will
honor itself and the cause Of purity and
decency by giving substantial majority
for the amendment next Tuesday.
Voters favoring the amendment are
urged to vote for it before marking the
balance OF the ticket. Place your cross
mark in the square opposite the words,
"For ratification of Prohibition Amend
ment." In the Jefferson county ticket 1t
is the sixth square from the bottom OF
the ticket

THE Monroe Waterman says that the
supreme issue OF the State campaign is
whether or not West Virginia shall be
Observation-Disclosures or not the rot
ten political methods OF Mcdowell county
shall be made TO apply to all OF Yves
Virginia. DR.. Hatfield is not the only
McDowellite ceekiDg power for the con-
troll OF this State for their own personal
advancement. Here is the list:
A candidate for Governor from Nc
Dowell.
A candidate for State Treasurer from
Mcdowell.
A candidate for the State Senate from
Mcdowell.
A candidate for Circuit Judge from Nc
Dowell.
And candidate for Supreme Court
Judge who, while not from Mcdowell
county, is an ally OF the machine there
and the leader of the liquor forces in
Mason county, the Hon. George Poffen-
barger.
Wouldn't it be snap for the corrup-
tionists of the black belt TO have their
own Governor, and State Treasurer, and
a circuit Judge, and aiudge on the supreme
bench?
The success OF this crowd would be
worse than foreign invasion-worse
than pestilence. Vote to save the
State from their evil influence.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
Stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result, ard unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

WHEN DR.. Hatfield, the Republican
candidate for Governor of West Virginia,
was at the zenith of his influence as a
political boss in the black belt, there was
no scruple as to how votes were to be
obtained for the Republican .ticket-the
orders were to count 'em up regardless.
Negro women in trousers, strangers TAX
ing the names of the mine mules, and
even Bob Buskirk's bulldog were voted
as often as necessary 10 make up an over
whelming majority. Now these methods
are bearing fruit, and there is reaction
that probably means defeat for the gu
bernatorial aspirations of DR.. Hatfield.
The decent people of that section have
some regard for fairness, and honest men
OF all parties everywhere in the State are
repudiating political crookedness such as
made Mcdowell and Mingo counties in
famous. There is a determination that
this State shall not be McDowellized. 1t
Sbelieved that the election ofthe originat-
or or beneficiary of such frauds would be a
disgrace TO our State, and men of con-
science in every county will cut DR.. Hat
fields name from their ticket. Corrup-
ton may prevail for time, but it doesn't
pay in the long run.

A SUIT for $5O,OOO damages has been
brought by DR.. H. D. Hatfield, Republic
can candidate for Governor OF West Viz
ginia, against Stuart w. Walker and
George w. Summers, the former the
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee and the latter the committees press
agent. DR.. Hatfield claims TO be aggriev-
ed because OF attacks made upon him by
the committee, especially being Infatuated
by the publication that he was instrument
tai in securing the pardon of Calhoun,
the negro dive-keeper.
"Whom the gods destroy they first
make mad"
We would advise DR.. Hatfield to 60

side of the black belt If the question Of
those Mcdowell county methods once
get where they can be properly investi-
gated some one is going to be hurt.

doubt and this bridge can be built without
increasing our taxes one penny.
To say that to build this bridge would
unfavorably affect our schools is abso-
lutely absurd, as every person knows
that we have a separate levy for building
and teachers funds and that it is not the
same in any two magisterial districts.
The building of this bridge would help
our roads, tor we would have three and
a-half miles of good road built without
any expense to the county, that in con-
nection with the concrete bridge will en-
able many hundreds OF our worthy east
side brethren to send their children TO
our fine graded schools on this side OF
the river.

neither interfere with your politics or
religion, nor increase your taxes.

The editor of the Register has received
a gratifying letter from Mr.. Elmer Nc
Million, of Keystone, w. Va, a former
student OF Shepherd College, in which
he says:
81 wish TO offer you my commentator
for the noble stand you take as regards
the corrupt political methods used in this
section. And you will know that | am
sincere in this when tell you that am
not Democrat but Republican. How
ever, believe in honesty in politics as
we'll as in everyday life, and realize
that no party can long survive that does
not offer square deal to the people OF
the State and nation. From what | have
learned since came here, all you have
published concerning these corrupt polit-
ical practices is absolutely correct, lack
ing only in completeness. | wish that
every editor, Democrat and Republican
alike, would use the same fearless de-
termination in helping to weed out dis
honest practices in politics. Under such
condition II would not be long until every
community would be mo5el community
and our State would &c pattern for the
States OF the nation. ! wish you every
success in your work."
The decent Republicans of this section
ought to help the people of West Virginia
to purge the State of the disgrace brought
upon our good name by the outrageous
practices in the infamous black belt. Mr..
McMillion lives in that part OF the State,
and his testimony is honest. A vote for
DR.. Hatfield is vote to continue these
dishonest practices. With the defeat of
DR.. Hatfield, decent men of both parties
will be encouraged to break up the pres
ent scandalous and unrighteous condi-
toss.

THE latest report of the New York
Herald's test votes shows that Wilson is
still far in the lead, being ahead in 70
States to five for Roosevelt and four for
TAFT. The New York World predicts
Wilson's election by 100000 plurality,
and 325 out of 532 electoral votes. The
New York American thinks that Wilson
will get all but 46 of the electoral votes,
giving these to Taft. The consensus OF
opinion is that Wilson is absolutely GER
tain to win at the election next Tuesday
even the Republican newspapers ad-
nit this.
