Taft's Opposition.

Commenting on Governor William
E. Glasscock's article declaring for
Theodore Roosevelt for President,
the Blueheld Telegraph states that
the governor is deluded on that
and it pointedly brings
out the fact that the greater portion
of what opposition there is to Mr..
Taft is inspired by Big Business on
account OF the administrations Wig
orous prosecutions of the trusts and
illegal examinations generally, The
Telegraph says;
That Governor Glasscock has
made a mistake there is no doubt.
The Republicans Of West Virginia
do not desire to s.precipitate fight
over the, delegation to the national
convention. They will have their
hands full to take care Of their own
troubles. It would bring better re-
suits if the governor should confine
his efforts to making Republican
administration in the state at the
coming election and not enter the
field CT President-making.
There is no doubt that the loudest
objection to the denomination OF
President Taft is not because he is
not good President but because he
is. Our governor seems to have
overlooked the fact that the greater
part of the opposition comes be-
cause he has enforced the laws
against the trusts just as Mr.. Roose-
veIt would no doubt have done had
he held the office and that the trusts
are showing the greatest activity
in the effort to end Mr.. Tar's po-
litical career, And 1T may be ex-
pected that President Taft will con-
tinue to enforce the law to the eX-
tent OF his power and ability, with
out regard to the vengeance of Big
Business and those who are deluded
by its measures, for certainly, it must
be agreed that he is one Of the last

The Taft Record.


Against the multitude OF blcker
ings, contentious and controversies
over the capabilities of dozen OF
more candidates for the presidency
OF the United States, the splendid
ability and brilliant record of Will
liam Howard Taft shines in sharp
and pleasing contrast. While, as
the Wheeling Intelligencer points
out, Mr., Taft has been peculiarly
lacking in the arts of the politician
who seeks to catch the ear Of the
mob, 7he has not been lacking in
SUBSTANTIAL achievements that make
for the welfare Of the American peo-
pie. Continues the Intelligencer:
HE has betrayed no trust. He
has protected no illegal interest. He
has enforced the law. He has in
stituted economy, and he has de-
veloped efficiency in governmental
operations. No four years in Amer
ican history has been fuller of the
triumphs OF peace.
'SFor, the first time the Sherman
fhnti5Gpst law; has been made ef-
fectiyea Its power has been sue
cessfully invoked, and two of the
greatest combinations of capital the
world has ever seen have been split
asundar. Competitive conditions
have been restored in two great lines
of industry. and competition will be
able to exist where 1t did not exist
before. A vigorous prosecution of
the. great meat packers trust has
been begun. For the first time the
magnates back of this combine have
been brought to court to face crimi-
nal indictments.
Additions to the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and the creation of a court of COM
ni9rcS have written the last worus
to legislation regulative of trans
portation companies. The power OF
the people to control interstate
commerce has been thoroughly es-
tablished, and the machinery has
been created to enable them to exer-
else that power,
Sin the creation Of the bureau Of
mines and mining, a great human
tartan work has been begun, touch
ing the welfare and the lives Of
hundreds Of thousands OF working.

NJ. Conley for Conrress.

q = " t
William G. Conley ought to be
well known in the Second congress
ional district OF the state, where
he is a candidate for the RepublI-
can nomination for Congress, as he
lis a native of that district and has
lived in 1t all his life.
That he is well known through
out the district is accompanied with
another fact that he is Just as ia
EyoraBly known All members Of his
own party know him to be true
blue Republican and all other voters
in the district know equally wen
that he is fair,I honest and honor
able, man ready at all times to do
Ithesbest in him 8or his district and
state. g-.-...,s ....,....:-..--
while there has been sharp crit
Ilcism from certain Democratic cir
lcIes az to his. conduct Of the, old
debt case, yet his critics have not
shown wherein the case might have
been conducted better, and this fact
leads to the plain conclusion that
the criticism was made for purely
political effect and not as personal
reflection on General Conley or in
disparagement of his legal, ability,
As attorney general of the state
he has honestly, ably and faithfully
devoted his time and talent and his
record as such ranks with previous
records made in that office. He is
eminently qualified to represent his
district, the state and the nation in
the federal Congress and he should
prove a very strong candidate not
only when the nomination is made
but also when the general election
is held; II he IS nominated. q !
There is more than a possibility
that he Will have no opponent fol
the nomination and we'll may the
Republicans of the district unite on
him as their candidate, and II they
choose him, well may the voters OF
all parties in the district unite on
him at the polls as the one to repre-
sent them in the House OF Repre-
sentatives OF the United States.

Socialism Is Hypocrisy.

( Socialism can not be representa-
tive government. 1t is not govern
meht by the people and for the peo-
pie. For instance, take the Lima,
o., case. The candidate for mayor
on the Socialist ticket there recently
was elected. After his induction
into office, he thought it best for
the welfare OF the people to appoint
some men to office who were not So
cialists. The Socialist BOSSES there
Immediately demanded his resigna-
ton on the ground tht they had ex-
acted OF him an ante-election pledge
to resign n the Socialist union there
asked him to do so. and the reason
the bosses asked him to keep that
pledge was that he went outside
the circles OF Socialism to- choose
some of his administrative officers.
This act onahis part showed, that he
had tendency to have a town gov
efffneft BY ana for the people. The
Socialist bosses there refused; to rec
ognlze such 4 government ana In
sisted that the Lima government
should be limited to Socialists. They
convicted themselves of the, rankest
instncerftg fin their ayerments that
they stood for a representative gov
eminent.
AS a further proof of socfalism's
deception as to representative gov
eminent, one may come nearer home
by considering the Broad oaks case.
There half hundred men voted the
Socialist ticket and had there been
a sufficient number of other tickets
lin the field to divide the residue Of
the vote so as to give the Socialist
ticket plurality there might be a
similar situations there as at Lima,
when the the time comes for in
Quoting the new administration. On
the general ground that all socialist
candidates take the anteSelection
pledge as was exacted in; the Lima
case, the Broad Oaks, Socialist; mayor
might go outside Socialist circles to
choose. certain town officers: The
leaders of the Broad Oaks union
would Immediately. object, and de-
mand his resignation, IL he did
not comply with their dictations.
Upon his refusal the union would be
called together and the bosses would
have him thrown out of the union
by a bare majority vote Of the
union, say twenty-six or twenty
seven votes in all for his expulsion.
The election returns show that
Broad oaks has at least 167 voters.
Notwithstanding this fact, first a few
Socialist bosses who pretend to
stand for government by and for
the people try to compel the mayor
to appoint certain persons to public
positions. Failing in this as was
the case at Lima, these few men i'm
mediately get twenty-six or twenty
seven of the 1877 voters in the town
to repudiate the mayor Of the town,
the twenty-slx or twenty-seven men
assuming to be the only people Of
the town or laboring under the inn
preston that they constitute a ma
iortty Of the voting citizenship.
The details Of soeialism's pretense
put into practice certainly do glow
