that the corrupt press is all against
him.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was running
things with a high hand. there was
no greater jollier of the newspaper
profession between the Atlantic and
the Pacific. He was making copy all
the time and the White House re-
porters were his sworn friends and
allies. To-day. Mr.. Roosevelt finds
things different, and instead OF ex-
planning the difficulty by carefully
studying his own conduct. he PUSHES
into print that hundreds and thou
sands of newspapers all over the
United States have been subsidized
against him.
How foolish.
How unjust, Successful newspapers
succeed only because they appeal to
the common sense and sober thought
OF the communities in which they are
published The newspapers OF the
country have turned against Theodore
Roosevelt. not because OF subsidy or
, corruption. but because the better
sentiment OF the public which they
represent. has also turned against
him Newspapers are often unfair.
They frequently make mistakes and
are blinded by prejudice. but with all
their faults and mistakes. they are
the truest indicators Of the best senti-
ment OF the people

sixth-Dr Hatfield pledges himsei,
TO urge and to help secure the passage
OF a bill to create a public utilities
commission in West Virginia, after
the plan OF the public utilities com
mission in the state of New York.
This. in the Judgment OF the Intelli.
gencer. Is by far the most important
economic measure that has been ser
iously proposed to the people of West
Virginia during the past six years
The relations of the public utility cor.
porations. OF the street railways, of
the electric light. OF the water. of the
telephone and telegraph and express
companies TO the people OF the state
need to be more clearly defined.
Abuses need to be corrected, improve
ments are to be urged. and all this
work can be done by the state more
effectively through a Public Utilities
Commission than by any other method.
AS a matter of fact. the state legisla-
ture Is the only power which at pres
ent can attempt to regulate and con-
troll public utility corporations. As
the legislature meets only once in two
years, and is crowded with other work,
1t has been practically impossible TO
secure from that body either effective
or reasonable action dealing with pub.
lie utility corporations. Spasmodic
outbreaks OF wrath against this or
that abuse. practiced by a public
utility corporation. have occurred and

fields platform is not a personal an
peal 1t is not based upon section

fancied claims that he has upon the
Republican party in the state Of West

DR.. HATFIELD's PLATFORM.

In the Intelligencer to-day appears
n formal announcement OF the can
didacy for governor OF DIR. II. ID. Hat
field. and a statement OF DIR. Hatfield's
position on public questions. DIR. Hat
held's platform is OF particular inter
est. because Il deals with a number
OF important subjects in a frank and
vigorous manner. In this respect IL
is to be commended to other aspirants
for public office. many OF whom seem
TO believe that declarations and gen:
eral statements avoiding specific
propositions are sufficient for the
electorate. From the announcement
OF DR.. Hatfield. the following I'M
portant suggestions are drawn:
First-Dr. Hatfield favors the en-
ployment on the state and county
roads of convlcts held in the Jail and
In the state penitentiary. He favors
an act that will enable judges in their
discretion TO sentence convicts TO
work on the state and county roads
under the supervision or the depart.
ment OF agriculture. and also legisla-
ton that will enable county authori.
ties to use prisoners detained in tails
for the Improvement OF our county
roads. This is a practical and original
idea dealing with an important sub.
1ect. West Virginia needs good
roads. There is no reason why con.
viets held in the jails and the peni.
Tertiary may not under proper condi.
tons be employed in the mainte.
nance and repair OF public roads. On
the contrary. it would seem that this
form OF employment would be more
directly beneficial 20 the state. and in
many cases more directly beneficial
TO the convicts themselves. than their
maintenance I'm idleness in county
jails or their employment in the peni
Tertiary. on work which Is afterwards
TO be sold in competition with the
products OF honest labor.
second-Dr. Hatfield favors an ade
quate primary election law. That is
law that will throw about party pri
maries the same safeguards az are
thrown about our general elections
This, the lntelllgencer believes. Il
what the people OF this state and nj
every other state want. Whether the
primary be by masisterlal districts. by
counties or statewide. the primary
should be honest and should be fairly
protected. The officers should be
subject to the courts and the opera
tions OF the primaries should be sub
ject 20 review and revision IN the
courts.
Third-Dr. Hatfield iavors an ade
duate employers liability law: a Law
that will enable working men Injured
IN accidents. 10 receive a fust and
fair compensation for injuries without
resoTting to endless litigation or sur
rendering 70 speculative lawyers a
large percentaee Of any possible YER
diet returned IN their favor.
Fourth-Dr Hatfield declares him
self 10 he IN favor Of liberal e1pendl
ture for the maintenance OF the nevis
ere1ted department OF agriculture. FOR
The pursuit OF soil and plant studies
and especially favors the more gen
eral use Of the facilities provided b,

We failed to note a rooster printed
over the returns OF the city election
from Wellsburg A few days ago.
when BenwOod Democrats elected a
city ticket. a rooster prominently
figured in a display 10 the election
results. Wellsburg, however. did not
get rooster. Local elections often
do not follow party lines. The Demo
cratic victory in Benwood and the
Republican victory in Wellsburg do
not mean a great deal so far a. ma.
uonal politics are concerned. Though
the Wellsburg Republicans won a
sweeping victory on Tuesday and are
to be congratulated upon the result
