" THAT'S WHY p"

Swer, in a two column editorial to the
question propoundcd by the Clinch
Valley News, viz: "Why the Bull
Moose should be pre- ferred before and
above Governor Wilson," The reply
is too long for reproduction here,
even if it were necessary to do so.
We expected the Sandy Valley
News would take advantage of this
opportunity to say its very best say
about Mr. Roosevelt, and its worst
about Mr.. Wilson, and we presume
it did, and confess to some dsap-
pointment at the "say' on both sides
for and against. Mr.. Witten
speaks broadly "for the sake of the
toiling millions, who are pleading
of justice, whose applications are
being Knocked by brutal wrongs of
the old political parties" and this,
too, in view of the fact that only
one of the cold polite al parties
has had an opportunity to inflict
brutal" or any other wrongs" fo-
about forty years. All the wrongs
which have been inflicted upon the
toiilng Millions of many a moon
has been inflicted by the party of the
Sandy Valley News man for Con
gress. So that part of his answer can
be passed, if it was intended to be n
reply. The editor calls Taft "pol-
itical abortion, " and ignores him,
although his candidate for Congress
is II Taft man, and helped him through
at Chicago. Let that pass, too, as
one of the "incide nts' of this lucid
reply, which Mr.. Witten gratuitously
logged in. Now, for his reasons why
Mr.. Roosevelt, the Big Bull Moose,
shonld be preferred above the Demo-
cratic donkey. "Prof. Wilson was
failure as n school teacher, and
Princeton, in order to get rid of
him, palmed him off on the State of
New Jersey as its Governor. This
brilliant discovery will no doubt
cause the woods of Buchanan to ring
with, the shouts from the "hickory
shirt boys The attention of the
National Democratic campaign COM
IN ittee is called especially to this
discovery. If it is not anwsered it
will ruin Mr.. Wilson's chances for
election as certain as the moon is
made of green cheese. Again, Mr..
Wilson, the popular and successful
Governor of New Jersey has no ex-
preience in governmental affairs" and
worst of all "has proven he cannot
be true to himself by turning his back
on the best friend he ever had--Mr.
Harvey, we suppose is meant, and
facing the galleries, etc OF course
our versatile contemporary has for
gotten, or for good and sufficient reason
failed to mention the worldwide fact
that MIR. Roosevelt has turned his
back on Mr.. Taft one of the most
loayl friends he ever had, and on
numberless other friends, and called
all of them liars. Mr.. Taft may not
be able to give Mr.. Roosevelt les
sons i'll political wire pulling, but
her can certainly give him much need
ed instruction on chow to be gentle
man. So. this charge of disloyalty
on the part of Mr.. Wilson falls along
with the rest. AS to Mr.. Wilson's
hard face" this is not failing.
1t may be misfortune. All men are
not as handsome as the Bull Moos @
or the editor of the Sandy Valley
News an ugly man may, perhaps, be
good man and good President.
AS great advantages possessed by
Mr.. Roosevelt over Mr.. Wilson, our
contemporary further states, that che
