THE CAMPAIGN MEETING.

The state campaign meeting for
OconcC in 1912 has been held and is
a thing OF the past. One week from
the time at which the candidates
were speaking in the grove at the
Court House before the people Of
Oconcc, the people OF this good old
county will be casting their ballots
at the Court House and at other pre-
cincts for the men who spoke.
What will be the result?
The Courier has stood aloof from
any unfair means during the cam
paign, and now, at the last moment
that we may speak before the elcc-
ton shall take place, we do not in
tend to stoop to the use Of any un-
fair method.
THAT the editor Of The Courier
has stood squarely for Judge Ira b.
Jones from the start is we'll known,
and that we are stronger to-day in
the assurance that we are standing
for the right man and the right
principles is a fact that we are glad
to assert We have grown stronger
in this conviction day by day, and
the campaign meeting for Oconce
has given us additional strength
And yet our position is not taken as
the result Of the observations Of a
year, two years, or ten.
1t so happens that Il few years Of
our life were spent in the city OF
Ncwberry, the home of both candi-
dates, and we have known Of bolh
men during the past thirty years.
Upon that knowledge. and a reason

questions to b. probed thoroughly are:
The wage conditions, the guard sys-
tenn, and the sanitary conditions"
Comparison Of the miners lot In
West Virginia will be made with that
OF The toiler I'm other occupations.
The strike began originally In a de.
mand for more wages, the miners de-
clarlng they could not live on the scale
paid by the West Virginia operators.
The operators replied that they could
rot meet competition of the non-union
wages.
Finally the strike resolved itself into
protest against government by
guards In the mines The miners
charged that guards were imported to
break the strike by use of the rifles
and machine guns. They declared the
guards evicted them from the COM
pany- owned houses without process of
law.
The operators charge that the strike
was led by a dangerous element and
that the guards were necessary to pre-
vent the destruction of mine prop
erty.
II is the merit of this controversy
that the commission will seek to de-
eide.
Governor Glasscock has declared
that he will accept the recommends
|tions of the probers and abide by
their findings in disposing of the

Prohibitionist Says
Wilson Is Sidestepping

Governor Wilson is sidestepping the
liquor question, according to Matthew
e. O'Brien, chairman of the Prohibit
tion party Congressional campaign
committee.
Governor Wilson declared himself
in favor of local option. but has so
far failed to answer Mr.. O'Brien's de-
mand for a statement Of his position
on bills prohibiting the shipment of
liquor into dry States and also with
holding the issuance of Federal IL
censes to dealers In prohibition States.
Because he has not stated his posi-
tion on these two questions, Mr..
O'Brien says the Democratic nominee
Is sidesteppinG.
Several weeks ago Mr.: OBrien wrote
q letter to Governor Wilson asking
him to state his position on the liquor
question. He replied by sending a
copy of the letter previously written
to the Rev. T. B. Shannon, of Newark,
n. j., in which Governor Wilson de-
clared for local option. O'Brien coun-
tered by saying that local option was
not a Federal question and demanded
a statement regarding the two inter-
state bills.
No letter was received. Later O'Brien
met Governor Wilson at Atlantic City
and tried to get verbal statement
but was unsuccessful.
