claimed his allegiance 10 Taft. as the
West Virginia Republican candidate
have done. and like them Is asking
for the support OF the Progressives.
Theodore Roosevelt has expressed
himself as 90 Governor Hooper iu
language that applies as well 20 Dr
Hatfield and his associates on the Re
publican ticket in West Virginia. and
this is what he said
Il speak against Mr. Hooper because
he has condoned a theft OF the noml

man who winks az as miserable
theft as that Of the base pickpocket

A Different Opinion New

When the meeting which re-
suited in DR.. Hatfield being made
the nominee of the Republican
party for Governor was held in
Washington last Spring, one of
the most active supporters of
DR.. Hatfield in the conference
was Editor H. c. Ogden, of the
Wheeling Intelligencer. Since
the formal announcement of DR..
Hatfield's nomination Mr.. Ogden
and the Intelligencer have been
about the most ardent support
ers DR.. Hatfield has had. 1t is
interesting therefore, to know
what is Mr.. Ogden's real opinion
of the man he is supporting. In
1908 his opinion was not such as
would warrant one in believing
the Doctor q suitable candidate
for Governor, and he did not hes
ltate to express his opinion of the
Doctor in emphatic terms then.
While he is supporting DR.. Hat
field now, it is hardly possible
that Mr.. Ogden could have any
very different opinion of him
now from the opinion he express
ed of him four years ago. Edit
or Ogden, on September 8, 1908.
published the following editorial
in the Wheeling Intelligencer.
under the heading THE Leader
in McDowell:"
One DR.. Hatfield seems to
share with A. l.. Calhoun, pro-
prietor and manager of various
low resorts, the dubious honor of
being the real head of the Swish
err organization in Mcdowell
county. Mr.. Isaac T. Mann fur
nishes the money and figures in
the prints as the big boss, but
Hatfield and Calhoun round UP
the 1000 or 5000 negroes and
dispose of their votes. This is
all preliminary to notation of
the fact that Hatfield has just
broken into prominence by bru-
tally beating up a Democratic
editor, who had the temerity to-
call attention to the disgraceful
social and political conditions
that prevail in Mcdowell county.
After nearly killing his man, he
vent before an accommodating
justice of the peace and was
fined trife for his amusement.
This is a specimen of the men
and of the methods, by which it
is expected to roll up an unpre-
cedented majority for Swisher in
Mcdowell county. Hatfield. the
man-killer; Calhoun, the dive
keeper, and Whyte, the default
ing ex-sheriff are precious trio.
They are fit representatives of
the noble cause of Swisherism
and will undoubtedly do yeoman
service in an interest with which
they are so peculiarly in sympa-
thy.

tire, claiming there should be no
limit made to the number of
terms he could be elected which
is you know a violation Of the
great statute upon which our
government stands written in
blood of the revolution written
upon the mind and heart of every
patriotic American citizen. He
wants to be king. This is the
beginning of the fall of this ma
ton if it is not guarded against.
He refused to be retired from
Wall Street service that had
made him Mayor of New York,
land President of the United
States twice.
Now let us study more of the
history of Mr.. Roosevelt. And
not overlook the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt so plainly testifies that
Mr.. Taft is President under the
trusts, and also that we under
stand that Taft had an under
standing with the trusts, that
was effected before his nomina-
ton by Wall Street Republican
Convention. He was first nomi-
mated in the back room on Mr..
Roosevelts proposals for two
terms if faithful to the trusts,
then nominated and elected by
them one term according to forms
of law by Mr.. Roosevelt who for
Wall Street placed his name be-
fore that Wall Street convention,
according to previous arrange
ments with the trusts that he
should do, and announcing that
he was a man after his own
heart, and said that Taft would
carry out his (Mr. RoosevelU
policies, which Mr.. Taft says he
has done. And we all believe he
has for it seems to have gone in
the same regular way of trust
Republican administration.
Will Roosevelt prosecute the
trusts?
Do you know that the very
men, of whom there was so much
so much talk of Roosevelt prose
cutting, are now the leaders Of
his campaign. Such men as Me
dill M Cormick, George Perkins,
etc.
Mr.. Roosevelt now says that
Democratic principles are right,
but that Woodrow Wilson is not
the right man to enforce them.
No do not think that has any
such idea of Woodrow Wilson, be-
cause Governor Wilson is won
derfully equipped with learning,
a beloved Governor, and a
straight forward experienced
progressive man. Mr.. Wilson
has been progressive all these
years that Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft were reactionaries and
thousands of Republicans will
casts their votes for Woodrow
Wilson this fall. Will you? /
will.

Letter From Former Republican
Redwood, w. Va.
October, 9, 1912

Editor Chronicle:
Please allow
me space for few statements in
your paper concerning the polit-
ical situation this fall. All of
you who know me are well aware
of my politics as a Republican.
Now friends will you please
reason with yourselves on the
facts of the situation of this cam
paign. We all understand that
the men of the largest business
of this country dealing in all
kinds of commerce, have organi-
zed in the different branches of
business in such a way as to con-
troll entirely each business, so
that they by the control of the
buying and owning all raw mate
rial is enough of it to control it..
And therefore control manufac-
turing, and prices both on buy
ing and in selling, and also they
set the price on all labor, ard the
price OF all goods back to the
people who produce them who
are the consumers of the prod
ucts of their own labor.
Now by a secret arrangement,
the trusts have organized to as
sist and protect each other
against labor and competition.
Not only so but some of the
same men control in the same
way in other fields. Now in or
der to do this the trust people,
tog ether with the money trust
(Which is the most powerful
trust) have pnt their heads to-
gather to not only run their own
business but have been coniroll-
ing everybody's business for
years, in the courts and ia the
legislative bodies and conven-
tions. BY placing their men in
power have delegated away from
the people that power that should
remain with the people.
Some say they buy the dele
gates, but he is often raised and
owned before hand, and worked
and promoted from the i1w st to
the highest. They have a man
ready trained for every JOB be
fore the job is ready for ;he man.
Go with me if you please to
the history Of the Republican
convention this year hell at
Chicago and see the organization
of Wall Street carried from the
parlor behind the convention
room and placed Immediately in
power over the entire Republican
party. That convention trans
acted all the business in head
quarters of that party. Now let
it be called by its right name.
1t was Wall Street disguised from
the people.
1t was easy for Mr.. Roosevelt
TO understand, for he is and al.
ways has been one of the gang.
Exactly the same as Mr.. Taft.
They are servants for Wall Street
and against the people, and both
are subject to the ruling of that
convention according to all thai
IS fair between them, as servants
must obey their masters.
Roosevelts time as president
was understood by all to be for
ever over, but he refused to re-
