Explains the Vital Issue.

To-day. as ever, the vital issue is
this: Shall the wise policy which has
made this country great and has en-
abled the laborer to live i'm comparative
comfort and luxury be abandoned for
an experimental one or, worse still.
one which has proved to be disastrous
in the past?
THE common peril which confronts
US all is the assault upon those poll
cies which have brought prosperity
and contentment, and against this COM
mon menace all Republicans should
unite. regardless OF their varying de-
grees OF progressveness.
Oscar S. Straus. in my opinion,
should be named by the Republican
convention as It's candidate for Gov
ernor, as leader of progressive
thought. / believe that II the conven-
tion should adopt this suggestion. Il

the schedules which have been most
obviously used to kill competition
and to raise prices In the United
States, arbitrarily and without re-
gard to the prices pertaining else

intermitted,, be extended to every
item in every schedule which affords
any opportunity for monopoly, for
special advantage to limited groups
of beneficiaries, or for subsidized
control OF any kind in the markets
or the enterprises of the country;

people of Mingo county in the court

There was q large assemblage oil
people to greet the speakers, who
received enthusiastic applause and
marked attention. The court house
was crowded and the speakers pleas
ed the audience wonderfully, Judging
from the interest unaffected. The
speakers were in excellent shape and
made strong arguments In the cause
of progressive democracy In both ma
tional and State politics. The en-
thusiasm with which the speeches
were received shows that the people
are aroused and are thoroughly in
terested in the political issues now
before the voters The speakers
were convincing in their arguments
and made excellent Impressions.
From every section the county was
represented, every train bringing

Baltimore and the Bosses.

The most absurd. statement Mr..
Roosevelt has made In all his reck-
less denunciation and defamation is
that GOV. Wilson was nominated by
the bosses, and specifically by Tag
CART Of Indiana. Sullivan of Illinois,
and Murphy Of New York: There
never was any secrecy about Mr.
Bryan's preference for the govern
or,-and his part in making the nom
ination does not need to be argued
to any rational person The idea
that Murphy contributed to secure
the nomination is too grotesque for
discussion. Indiana supported Gov
Marshall as long as there was any
use In 1t. If there ever was con-.
vention that did ais It pleased in
disregard to the bosses 1t was the
convention in Baltimore? Wilson
went into the convention with a
large body of delegates, and his
strength constantly increased, be-
cause it was perfectly evident that
OF all the candidates he possessed
far the greater degree of available
ity. Mr.. Roosevelt Is degenerating
into common scold. --Philadelphia

Does II Make Votes?

| Do certain Republican newspapers
iof West Virginia which are publish
Ing palpably false and misleading
statements concerning Democratic
candidates and Democratic principles
hope to thereby gain votes for the
ticket they are supporting? Do they
fancy their readers are unable to
distinguish between argument and
personal abuse, or that their sole
source of political information is the
newspapers referred to? Take for
example the Charleston Mails edfto-
rial assertion that Senator Watson
was four years ago working tooth
and toe-nail against the election of
Bryan, and doing what he could to
bring about the great Republican
victory in nation and state which
was won in 1905"
The editor of the Mail knows that
statement to be false; II he doesn't
he is poorly qualified for the work
he Is doing. Either he is deliberate.
ly falsffying. or he Is woefully igno-
rant. Mr.. Watson was delegate to
the Denver convention, and his vote
helped to nominate Bryan. During
the campaign which followed, he
was never accused OF disloyalty to
| the. party. and It remained for the
Charleston Mail to discover that he
did what he could to bring about
Republican victory" The Mails
readers are easily duped If they
swallow lies of that character. They
cannot help weakening the Influence
OF the paper. as they must destroy
the confidence Of Its readers in any
statement 1t makes on political
|sItj ect.
lint the Mail does not confina It's
political activities to mendacity; one
of its favorite weapons is vitupera-
ticn. In the same issue containing
the false statement concerning Sem
tor Watson 1t calls attention to the
fact that the Charleston Gazette
once said Or. Hatfltld is brainy
ran" adding that the Gazette was
unable to pay the same compliment
to It's own candidate, and for that
reason had never done 50. This IL
nnerile. The intimation that Mr.
Thompson lacks brains, or that he
would suffer in comparison with his
opponent Is SO silly that 1t will no
doubt have the very opposite effect
from what Is intended.
The Mail Is not alone in this style.
Of campaigning There are other Re-
publican papers giving the same
kind Of support f?) to their ticket.
They have yet to learn the lesson
that falsehood and personal abuse or
opp0nenfs not only does not gatn
conyerts to their cause, but that II
Etendy 10 disgust ana drive away
|theif own supporters.
Every word of the above from thu
Wheeling Register Is correct. The
only stock In trade Of the Republic
can newspapers in this state is vi
tuperaton and abuse. They have
no foundation upon which to pro-
duce an argument and they resort
70 abuse and downright falsehood
We have leading examples right here
In the Southern part OF the State
which are 80 accustomed to this sort
of politics that they could not tell
the truth II the wanted to do so.
When you see 1t in a Republican
stand-pat newspaper you can be as
sured OF Its falsity.

ssN Resignation" by republican pol

sign or give up the job OF supervisor

he resigned" but he attended, took
part, and voted in practically every
meeting of the committee that was
held after that date. He held on to
his fat government job, too, that, Of
course, being the main object Of a
West Virginia republican politician.
4 And now Mr.. Lakin has resign
