Sir:-Win you kindly grant one o,
the rank and nle OF the Republican
party a little space? Through the
medium OF YOU aluable paper which
i the standard Republican paper OF
West Virginia, We want Z say a few
words TO our many old Republican
friends and comrades OF hfty years
ago. there stu being a considerable
number scattered all over our state.
We want 10 say a word 20 all Repub-
licans who claim the honor Of that
name.
In the first place. we will a we
had a Republican primary election on
June 4th. TO nominate state candi-
dates. That election was conducted
fairly and squarely By the Republican
party. n $50 OF the Republicans OF
our state cast their votes for the
state and county candidates. There
was no other state primary that cast
over 40e- OF the Republican vote OF
the state. The most OF these pre-
convention primaries cast from 30 to
800 OF their true Republican vote.
Therefore. they are misleading and
prove nothing when IL comes TO "A gen
eral election. Now II is quite different
In our state. for all OF our candidates
HNa " - nominated
by large majOrities OF the full Re
publican vote OF our state. Now 20
understand the true Republican con-
dttions in West Virginia. The funda-
mental principles OF tho Republican
party are. the majority must rule. and
protection TO our Industries. and
above all, TO protect our wage earners
and bread winners from the pauper
labor OF foreign countries.
Now as We claim. We had a fair pri-
mary election that nominated our
candidates. IL becomes the solemn
duty OF every Republican voter in
West Virginia TO cast his vote for
these regular nominees. They are
all able and honorable gentlemen OF
integrity. In hat primary no faction
was recognized. They were all voted
Tor as Republicans. Roosevelt was
then as strong a Republican as any Of
MS. We all knew a. the primary that
there were Roosevelt Republicans as
well rs Taft men. SO We appeal 10 an
Republicans nor 20 10 whoa a good
many did in 1910. stay az home and
let that election 70 by default to the
Democrats and corporations and
trusts. This coming election be
hooves every Republican 10 come out
and vote the Republican ticket from
top TO bottom
Another fact We must not overlook
~ this campaign. and that is. We must
elect a majority az the delegates 10
the next Legislature. That We think
Is the most important issue in our
state campaign. We agree with our
candidate for Governor. Dr. II u. Hat
Held. thar u BE- more important than
tho GOVernOrship
These matters should be carefully
considered nv our leading Republicans
IN this campaign. We old Republicans

cratic tariff bills from $40 M TO the
present time. not forgetting from 1893
To 1897. which all the present genera
tion ought 70 remember. Every Re
publican should cast his vote I'm the
coming election for protection. and

There is no man living today that
