Extol Col. Roosevelt In The
Resolutions; And DemandA
Primary To Decide Choice

else the great things he has done
will be an inspiration to those who
have yet greater things to do
The people ought to have their
way; their wishes ought to be carried
out; they have the right to nominate
their candidates in such fair way as
10 give every voter an equal voice In
the choice Of the candidate whom he
fsyors To that end, we dems nd
that the Republican state Committee
brint upon the ballot to be voted at
the statewide primary election to be
held on June 4th, 1912, The names of
Theodore Roosevelt and all other
recognized candidates for the Republic
can nomination for President, 50 that
every Republican voter shall have
fell and fair opportunity to vote for
the one he favors; and that an honest
end square return of the result there
CT be made and published. And that
the choice Of the Republicans Of the
state, as expressed at such primary
election, shall be taken as their nan
date to guide and govern the action
OF all delegates from West Virginia
offending the next National Republic
can Convention
We heartily endorse the following
statement of Theodore Roosevelt:
IT stand for the genuine rule os the
people, and therefore I hope that as
far as possible the people may be
given the chance through direct pri-
naries to express their preference
IS to who shall be the nominee of
the Republican Presidential Conven-
ton"
In the age-long contest between
the rights and interests of the plain
people and the encroachment of
special privileges in its many forms,
we recognize in Theodore Roosevelt
a mighty champion of the people;
a publicist and philosopher of rare
Insight and power; a practical and
statesman of the high
est order; a genius who possesses
the power to give virile expression
10 the desires and ideals of the peo-
pie, and who can mold into law those
desires and ideals, and who can carry
cut those laws in tactful and success
full administration.
Like Lincoln, he believes that the
happiness and prosperity of the peo-
pie is the ultimate aim and purpose
Of our government; that for This
purpose the government was insti-
tuted; for this purpose it ought to
be administered; and that this pur-
pose is the highest and controlling
canon of Interpretation of all stat
utes, laws and constitutions. In
short, he believes, and we believe
with him, that the government sas
made for the people and not the peo-
PIE for the government.
We believe in the principles of the
Republican party; we believe in the
rule of the majority; and we pledge
cur support to the nominee Of the
Chicago Convention to be held on the
18th of June, 1912,

We, the Republican voters Of the
State of West Virginia, favoring the
termination of Theodore Roosevelt for
President of the United States, as
sembled in meeting at Parkersburg
on this 29th day of February, 1912. be-
lieve that Theodore Roosevelt rep
resents those principles and policies
c. government which will best PRO
mote the general welfare and upon
which the Republican party must de-
pcad for future success.
We are convinced that public senti-
ment demands his nomination. Sumo
Of the reasons therefor are well stat
&c in the platform Of the Republican
National Convention of 1903 as fol-
lows
Repu5licanism Under Roosevelt.
'Gn this greatest era of American
advancement the Republican party
has reached it's highest service under
the leadership OF Theodore Roosevelt.
His administration is an epoch in
American history. In no other per cd
since National Sovereignty was won
under Washington. or preserved I'M
der Lincoln, has there been such
mighty progress In those ideals of
government which make for justice,
e1uality and fair dealing among men.
The highest aspirations of the Ameri-
can people have found a voice. Their
most exalted servant represents the
best aims and worthiest purposes Of
all his countrymen. American man
hood has been lifted to a nobler sense
Of duty and obligation. Conscience
and courage in public station and
higher standards of right and wrong
in private life have become cardinal
principles of political faith; capital
and labor have been brought 1to
closer relations OF confidence and in
Independence; and The abuse of
wealth, the tyranny of power and all
the evils of privilege and favorltism
have been put to scorn by the simple
manly virtues of justice and fair
play"
''The great accomplishments OF
President Roosevelt have been, first
and foremost, brave and impartial
enforcement Of the law; the prosecu-
ton of Illegal trusts and monopolies;
the exposure and punishment of evil
doors in the public service; the more
effective regulation of the rates and
service of the great transportation
l.res: the complete overthrow of
II eferences, rebates and discrimina-
tons; the arbitration of labor dis
putes: the amelioration of the condt-
ton of wageworkers everywhere; the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country; the forward step in
the Improvement of the inland wafer
ways, and always the earnest sup ort
and defense of every wholesome safe
guard which has made more secure
the guarantees of life, liberty and
property"
These are the achievements that
will make Theodore Roosevelt his
place in history, but more than all

LENT.


1t is customary at this time for our
smart comic papers to print pictures
in which His Satanic Majesty is de.
picted as whispering his evil thoughts
into the heart of the society girl. The
idea seems to be that the season of
fast and prayer gives the devil an
unusually favorable opportunity
A custom, however, that is so deep
ly rooted in the Christian church, and
indeed in all religions, must have
done much to serve humanity. Ia
actual practice, 1t is difficult to see
how some people would keep out of
the sanitarium not to say the grave,
did not Lent come along yearly.
1t is a truism that Joy comes only
by contrast, and power through self
denial. A thoughtful observance OF
Lent prepares the way to both.
