TO THE SOCIALIST PARTY.

At recent meeting OF the Wo.
mans Christian Temperance Union
unanimous regret was expressed that
the local body polite Is SO divided.
which condition stimulates our op.
ponents, the liquor ele eat, to rejoice
in their possible victory. Whatever
most pleases them means defeat to
high principals. e
We appreciate the fact that the
Socialist party stands for reform,-kdt
it is with unspeakable sorrow we
recognize that the men of this party
desirious for Martinsburg's welfare
leave out of their platform entirely
the question of "Dry" town; which
question is the most vital one before
our townspeople in this coming cleo
ton. 1t has been demonstrated that
reforms thrive better under Dry
administrations than they do under
wet" ones. In the face of an un-
questionable fact that in union there
is strength, we implore you as men
who are responsible to God for the
influence you exert TO sacrifice what
ever reforms your platform may hold
and give your prayers, time, strength
and energy in cooperating with the
citizens Dry Party and the w c. t.

Minneapolis, May 4.-The Metho

Interest still centres upon the cleo

This will necessitate the election of
fifteen new bishops.

Third Vice President Thompson, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, and other officials of that
road, visited Martinsburg this morn
ing in response to an invitation eX-
tended by Mayor w r. Caskey to
confer with a committee with refer
ence to the construction of a subway
at the Queen street crossing and the
erection of a new passenger station
And while the conference did not re-
suit in Martinsburg securing what is
requested it was not altogether I'M
satisfactory, as it brought the matter
to focus and drew together the PEG
pie and officials and gave both a
clearer understanding of what the
rail road would do under certain con
ditions; giving the local representa-
tives a better idea as to the basis
upon which future negotiations can
be conducted.
The officials came in shortly after
7 O'Clock, on a special train from
Connellsville and remained here I'M
til about $50 o'clock, when they left
for Baltimore to attend a meeting in
that city at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
At the local station they were met by
members of the committee appointed
by Mayor w. X Caskey for this pur-
pose, and escorted to one of the wait

manded my services and / have been

you that honestly believe my ex-
perience there has been such that I
am qualified to consider. with en-
lightened intelligence, remedial meas

firmed my previous belief that all
classes OF iaborIng men should be
protected in their right peaceabiy to
unite for the promotion of their
mutual interests and for the raising
Ct their standard OF living.
To my mind the crucial test OF
every man holding public office is
this: VIII he be true to his trust, or
will the Jingle OF the guinea help
the hurt that honor feels?' l firmly
believe that merited victory awaits
us on November 5. aud If my fore
cast is correct, am willing TO let
my record in the legislature answer
these questions.

Bryan as good as he handed him.
William Jennings found himself up
against Shakespeare whose first

Col. Bryan did not attempt a pre-

isfying himself with begging his
hearers to elect a Democratic Con-
gress so that in the event Woodrow
Wilson is elected the latter's hands
would not be tied in carrying out the
shut-down-mills policy of the Demo-
cratic party. He stated that the
state ticket was not matter OF i'm

charge of the party, after having
bought it through the recent legis-
lature, would like to get control OF
the state government. These we're

is what Democratic success in the
state would mean.

OF President Cleveland, am sure you
will stick to the old party that has
carried you ever safely.
The entire move made by the DEM

vigorously opposed by such prominent

kindly feeling and gratitude toward
