Extracts From Speech OF
BEN H. HINER
Candidate for Congressman at Large

Candidate for Congressman at Large
Some things the Democratic Party
has done for the Farmers.
/. Created the Office Of Commission
er of Agriculture and provided for
filling it by the people instead of APP
pointment by political ring.
2. Nominated to fill this office w.
D. linn, practical farmer, and one
who has done more for the farmers Of
this State than any other one man.
8. Changed the beginning OF the
assessment year from January &lst to
April 1st.
A. Declared in its platform for a
law requiring the inspection of all
seeds sold in the state which will pre-
vent worthless seeds being imposed
upon the farmer.
5, Run the last session Of the Leg
islature on one-half what it cost to
run the previous Republican one.
s. Passed in Congress tariff bills
which would have saved the tax pay
ers of this country more than seven
Hundred and Forty million dollars had
these measures not been defeated by
the Republicans; the saving on Sugar
alone being One Hundred and Fifteen
Million dollars, and that BY the Farm
ers Free LIST Bill Three Hundred and
Ninety Million dollars each year. When
the next Congress passes tariff bills
for the relief Of the farmer and wage
Garner, these bills win become laws
by the signature of Woodrow Wilson,
the champion of the peoples Cause.

The Prohibition Amendment.

A reader of the Free Press asks
US to define our position on the
pending Prohibition Amendment
to the State Constitution.
It's editor will vote for its rati-
fication.
The views of one individual
may not outweigh those of anoth-
er, but the attitude of all news
papers whose owners carry their
sovereignty under their hat,
should always be that of being
frank with the public.
We can perhaps best define the
attitude of the Editor on this
question by quoting him when he
voted in the State Senate of West
Virginia to submit the amend
ment.
Mr.. President, I have the
honor to belong to the Democratic
and not the Prohibition party.
From the experience of Maine,
Kansas, and other states, Prohi-
bition does not seem to have been
wholly effective. Local option or
high license may possible be bet
ter remedies. Alarge number of
my constituents have expressed a
desire to vote on this question. /
do not consider fright and DEM
ocratic to withhold from them
that privilege, therefore, / vote,
Aye!o
The influences that prevented
submission at that time, are too
well understood for it to be neces-
sary for us to di1ate on them now.
IF the liquor interests had not
interfered with the liberties of
the people by refusing them the
right to vote on a question, vitality
affecting them, it is probable that
the Amendment would have been
as decisiyely defeated as in 1888.
But now, an issue even greater
than that of Prohibition itself has
been raised.
It is whether a free people
shall be allowed to control its
own affairs, or whether the COM
bined liquor interests of the
State and nation with vicious in
tent, shall be allowed TO take a
sovereign stale by the throat and
dominate it by corrupt means,

Proposed Movement Of Norfolk and
Western Depot Stirs the Town.

On yesterday Mr.. M. E Bolinger.
Agent, was notified that the officials of
the Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany would visit Charles Town this
morning, for the purpose of comforting
with its citizens as to the proposed re-
moval Of their station from it's present
site to the Belt Line.
The Ransom authorities and manufac-
turers had invited the Company to view
the ground and their coming was the
result of his invitation.
The Town Council met last night in
special session and this morning dod-
gers we're circulated by those opposing
the change, urging that meeting of
protest be held.
On arrival, the officials were met by
a number of our citizens and taken
over the ground. viewing the site of the
proposed N & W. Depot. Adjourn
ment was then had to the Court House
where the matter was discussed pro
and con, when on behalf of those favor
ing the present location, further time
was asked Of the Railway Company.
The officials agreed to grant the re-
quest. but asked that both sides file
their briefs BY December 2lst. at which
time it will take them undar eonsidera-
tion.
These are all the details available as
we go to press. The matter has stirred
the town considerably. and it is the
main topic Of conversation today, even
to the exclusiok Of politics.

Wilson IN West Vireinia.

Governor Woodrow Wilson's inva-
sion of West Virginia was a contin-
uous triumph for Democracy's stand
ard bearer from the summit of the
seventeen mile grade on the Baltimore
and Ohio early Friday morning until
he passed oyer the West Virginia
Pennsylvania State line late that even
ing. It is conservatively estimated
that between thirty three and thirty
five thousand voters heard Governor
Wilson discuss the issues Of the cam
paign while he was in the State.
Special trains brought practically ev-
cry voter in northern West Virginia
within the zone Of the Wilson'S Special
stops.
Striking truisms addressed by the
Governor in the course Of his West
Virginia addresses are as follows:
THE wonderful thing to me about
this country of ours is that it has been
governed for so long by men who have
never been invited to govern it. What
is needed even more than the election
of a progressive Democrat for Presi :
dent is the removal of the great vested
interests from the United States Sem
ate. Voters Of West Virginia, APP
peal to you not to send to the Senate q
representative Of the great corporate
interests who will only become an in
cubus obstructing the highway of pro-
gress. Keep the HJim Smith s5pe
out of the United States Senate. The
difference between the Republican and
Democratic parties is that the former
wishes to run this Government for the
people, while the Democratic party
wishes to run this government through
the people. Progressive Democracy is
responsible to the fluctuations of the
pulse of the great mass of the voters.
While business conditions on the sur
face appear to be good there must GER
tainly be something wrong with this
| Government for the earning capacity
/ of labor has not increased half as rap
idly as has the price of food commod-
tiles. The pay envelope can never be
equalized. with the increasing cost of
living until democracy by moderate
tariff reduction creates market for
labor.
'The party that stands still will die.
That is why the Republican party is
collapsing. Its small group of special
interest leaders refused to allow it to
| progress in response to the demands
of labor and the small business man.
Unless the Democratic party progresses
it must die. This is the last test, 1t
is death or progress There ia no mid
die ground upon which we may stand.
Therefore surround US with Senate
of progressive democrats free from
the faint of corporate interests. /"
1t was only with extreme difficulty
that Governor Wilson was prevailed
upon to fulfil his West Virginia en-
gagements after the accident to Colo,
mel Roosevelt inasmuch as the Demo-
cratic nominee wished to remain off
the stump in fairness to his rival.
But for personal visit by National
Committeeman John T McGraw to
the New Jersey Executives home
Governor Wilson said that he would
not have come to this Stete. Colonel
McGraw informed the nominee of the
keen disappointment which the voters
of West Virginia would experience I'M
less tho Governor would visit the State
i with the result that the latter ac-
guessed.

exclusively for their own selfish
ends.
As the case stands now the
amendment cannot be defeated In
West Virginia, but by the use Of
a huge corruption fund, which
will of course be forthcoming,
and will doubtless have its effect,
even if one half of it stops in the
pockets Of the political procurers,
who are employed to dispense it.
The Democratic party has al
ways stood for the greatest per-
sonal liberty of the individual
compatible with the public good,
and against sumptuary legisla-
ton.
But the very essence of the
situation now compe1s those who
feel that their personal liberties
are being circumscribed by the
most arrogant and corrupting
influences, to support the amend
ment as a protest against exist
ing conditions, and as their only
chance to curb this cruel devil
| of his will"
The Editor of the Free Press
, is in no sense of the word a Pro-
hibitionist.
In his Judgment the Prohibi-
ton Party has no excuse for an
existence, which, however sincere
its supporters may be, only re-
sults in lending aid and comfort
to the common enemy.
1.-The liquor people and their
tools who have to do their bid
ding to get the Offices for which
they seem willing to sell their
immortal souls, are trying to
scare regular Democrats into the
belief that the vote for the Pro.
hibition Amendment is unden1o.
cratic. They even have the au.
| dacity to misquote Woodrow Will
son to the effect that he is OPP:
posed to prohibition but favors
local option, failing to give his
statement that this question is
not political but strictly NOR
al and social one.
/ Naturally these. appeals to the
passions and predjudices of the
| ignorant voter are being made
but if Intellectual, more potent
arguments will be advanced, sale
arguments being printed on greer
or even yellow paper, and ISSUED
| by the Bureau of Printing an6
Engraving at Washington. Fol
the only hope that exists O
defeating the amendment lies II
debauching the negro and mer
cenary voters Of the state, a:
!. while there are many honest an6
good, if mistaken men. who vii
vote against the Amendment, yet
without this purchaseable e1e
ment they will be in hopeless
minority.
Those eng gagged in the liquor
traffic know no politics but theil
business, and have no more sincere
!. | political convictions than did Jay
Gould when he said that he wa.
for the Republicans in Republic
can states and for the Democrats
\ in Democratic states and for the
Erie Railroad everywhere.
They wouldn't recognize the
4 Bill of Rights, if they met it II
the big road.
Yet it has about come to the
pass that candidates for Office
must, with any hope of success
first seek the support of the liquor
interests, with their hats in thei1
hands.
J Is that compatible with rea
! Democracy?

To those who say that 1t IS
unfair for Jefferson to dictate to
Ohio County as to whether she
shall have saloons ornot we reply
that so long as the great brew
ing and distilling combines
dump money into dry counties to
make them wet, so long will free
voters, whether abstainers or not,
resent such interference.
State wide Prohibition may not
be the ideal remedy. No law on
the Statute books ever totally
prohibited the crime against
which it is directed.
We know that the present saloon
system is intolerable andindefen-
sible.
Local option or the dispen-
.sary system have worked
in some communities. But the
>dissemblers who are deorying Pro-
hibition, claiming that local OPP
tion is a better remedy, know full
well that they don't want local
option or Prohibition or any other
regulation that will prevent them
from prosecuting their business
in the way they want, whether
in violation of the laws of God
and man, or not.
The Amendment is the only
weapon at hand to put the saloon
out of business, and it will be
used by thousands who are not
extremists or fanatics, but who
believe the future of their coun-
try is menaced BY these influences
now seeking to dominate it.
