VOTING RECORD OF Mr.. DAVIS
MAKES HIM PEOPLES FOE

liant as Mr., Davis is. There is nc
doubt OF that. William l.. Wilson's
brilliancy shed a light that was ma.
tion-wide. But it was not the kind
Of light that suited the people Of
the Second district. Neither is Mr.
Davis's. Mr.. Wilson voted free.
trade-votes. He was the author OF
a bill which plunged this country
into a panic without parallel. Re.
member that Wilson panic of 1893?
He made just the same kind Of tain
speeches that Mr.. Davis is making.
particularly on the wool-growinE
and sheep-raising business and the
bearing OF the tariff on that indus,
try. He treated it airily, with 4
lofty disdain and an Affiliations
humor. He knew more about 1t
than the thousands of farmers IL the
Second district. But he did not con
vince the farmers. In 1Ie great
Democratic counties of Jefferson,
Morgan and Hampshire, they turned
out to his meetings carryfngihunches
of wool and sheep-hidessoa poles.
and everywhere this brilliant Will
son looked, these reminders greeted
his vision. When thei votes were
counted the great "brilliant'' scnol-
ar of the tariff had been. elected to
stay out fcpngress ara: no longer
occupy a position where he could
mlsrepresent his own constituency.
Thus passed William II Wilson into
the quiet, peaceful shadows of prl-
vate life. and thus win pass other
brilliant" students, dreamers and
impracticable 4,lmisrepresentatives
who are not in ACCORD with the cold
blooded, practicable 'Ehusiness sense
of a majority of the electors in their
districts.
No matter the .superabundance OF
wisdom, nor the high-geared intel
lectuals, nor his penetrating vision
his illimitable craftsmanship, nor
his boundless scholarship, nor all
the crushing mental force with which
the Exponent endors Mr., Davis, the
hard, indisputabie. permanent fact
remains-it will NOT down nor be

inquiries Congressman Davis through
his own newspaper here. We can
answer you, Mr.. Congressman, as to
the views OF the people of the whole
state, but there seems to be a mar
velously mighty sentiment in the
First congressional district, which
-, is growing by leaps and bounds, in
favor OF shelving you and substi-
tuting a business man who will be

and more alert. faithful and con-
siderate of the welfare OF the people

This state and this district have
had brilliant" men representing
them before. They we're called Gin
tellectual giants" in their political
heyday. Where are they now?
They have been retired. They were
too great" for their district, per-
haps. They had the larger view"
and they talked and voted as II
their constituents did not know what
was good for them They soon passed
from the scene to retirement where
their voice and their votes could no
longer harm; where their brilliant
intellectual theories" would annoy
nobody except themselves and their
intimate associates. The people ev-
erywhere know what is good for
them, what they want. and they
never fail to get what they wish in
time.
William L. Wilson was as bril-

explained away-that he has voted,
not only once, but every time he had
the chance, dlreeti5 against the
great manufacturing industries OF
his distrlct-against, the men who
own them and the men Nho work in
them and the families who are de-
pendent upon their unceasing opera
ton for continuous prosperity.
He has voted, not only, once, but
every time he has had the chance,
against the farmers off HARRISON
and every other county IN this dis
trict. He voted to destroy the high
prices they are getting foF products,
as his brilliant" predecessor from
West Virginia, William L.. Wilson,
did. z
There is not an industry and not
farm in the First district against
whose prosperity the vote: OF John
w. Davis has not been cast.
If he had his way, Jtnere would
have been prostration and paralysis
in this district instead Of the un-
equalled prosperity which prevails
on the farms and in the factories
here and elsewhere.
Mr.. Davis is unsound on the tar
in, and all important matters which
have come up in Congress affecting
the welfare of the people of his dis
trict. His party is ,r4smrnd. O
For these reasons hessnould BIO re-

Particular Miss.

Every vote ON the tariff cast by
Davis was vote against the prosper
ity of the men in the mills of Wheel
ing, Clarksburg, and Fairmont, and
consequently against the welfare of
their families On tariff subjects, his
every vote was against the farmers,
sheep-raisers and stock-grazers in
the counties that compose the district.
Every vote cast by Brown on the
tariff was against the factory people
of Morgantown, the railroad men at
Grafton, the men in the mines, and
against the great farming population
which makes up such large part Of
his constituency. Over a million and
half dollars worth Of sheep-not
counting wool-was raised in his
district last year.
In the Third district Littlepage
stands charged with the same inten-
tional or unintentional treason to the
best interests of the people who voted
to send him to Washington.
In the Fourth district, John Hamil-
ton cast vote against the iron and
steel workers in the big mill at Park
crsburg, and against the men who
work the farm and raise and market
the sheep and cattle in those eleven
counties.
They are "Unsound.'
These four congressman do not
represent in their tariff views the
majority sentiment OF their own con-
stituency. They are as unsound on
the tariff as their party was on the
money question. They have the
wrong ideas about it. They should
not longer be permitted to misrep-
resent the great protective tariff SEN
timent of West Virginia. 1t is too dan
gerous.
The workingmen of West Virginia
are not opposed to the tariff policy of
the Republican party. Neither ars
the farmers. These two classes arc
strongly in favor of continuing the
protective policy, with varying
changes to meet varying conditions.
Protection in the tariffs has al
ways meant prosperity, Tariff for
revenue or otherwise free trade has
always meant, what?
First the lowering Of the standard
of living of the laboring classes.
And after that many things. which
those who lived during the Wilson
panic of 1893 remember all too we'll

DAKOTA NORMALS TO
MAKE TEACHERS FOR
THE COUNTRY SCHOOL
Board Of Regents See Good II
Demand That Is Coming
From Voters.

Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 2S-For the past
two or three years the normal schools
of the state have made ar effort that
has been more or less successful in Ell
deavoring to break away from the lines
Of educational work for which they
we've especially created. Regent
Hitchcock, Of this city, president OF
the board, together with several other
members have sought to keep the nor
mails within the scope as provided by
the state educational law under which
the schools We're created, and the work
Of which was prescribed. One or two
of the rma are building their
courses with the idea of attaining the
higher dignity of the state university
and overlooking their special business
of equipping teachers to teach In the
common and graded schools. Realizing
that the greater percentage by far or
the states population is dependent up
on the success of agriculture, the re-
gents have enacted some special legis-
lation by which the courses leading to
the general high school or college.
which We're academic in character,
were revised and mad to conform
more particularly with teaching in
view.
Resolutions adopted by the board of
regents express the sentiment that
there is an urgent demand from the
taxpayers of the state that the courses
of study and the character of the in
struction in the IN schools con
form in a more practical way to meet
ing the needs of the agricultural inter-
ests of the state and the needs of the
number of citizens who can have no
school training above the eighth
grade" To place the normal schools
en- their proper basis, the regents
adopted the following resolution:
Resolution is Adopted.
That the administration of the var
ious normal schools of the state be So
directed that more effective results be
obtained in properly training young
men and women for teachers in the
common schools; that more emphasis
be placed upon a thorough training in
branches of study required to be
taught in the common within the first
eight grades, and in those branches
and subjects required in aH eXamina-
ton by the state superintendent OF
public instruction for first and second
grades, that no solicitation be made
by public advertising or private in
duceinents to encourage pupils to at
tend these schools for the purpos Of
preparing for college, or taking parts
of college courses without having in
view the teachers profession; that
fective instruction in the following
subjects: Home economies, manual
training, state government, civic duty,
morality, clements of agriculture,
problems of rural life, sex hygiene.
laws CT health. sanitation, ventilation.
lighting and heating. With these sub
jects being taught in the normals, the
regents believe that the general public
will be more benefited than by follow
ing the training for a college course.
1t has aiken the board of regents sew
erai years to overcome the situation.
but they will stand by it now.

FAULKT0N LIGHT PLANT
Is HARD HIT BY FIRE

Faulkton, s. D., Sept. S0-Fire last
night partially destroyed the city cleo
trio lighting plant. The origin Is un-
known, but it is thought that it may
have been caused by an o~verheated
oil engine. A large quantity of kero-
sene, which was stored In the building,
was saved from the flames by quick
work of the firemen. Although the
loss on the plant is fully covered by
insurance, 1t is probable that cons1d-
cradle inconvenience will be suffered
by the people for several days because

MORAL: BURN THOSE LETTERS
TO AVOID HEADLEE'S "Elxb

Deadwood, s. D., Sept. 3O.-When
Miss Anna Ballman, of st. Louis, a
very attractive young shop girl, wrote
three years g to the st. Onge bank.
near here, for views OF the Black
Hills, she laid the foundation for a
$4,000 breach Of promise suit, now
on trial here, in which she is the
plaintiff against Floyd Headlee, a
banker.
Headlee answered the girls letter
and ollowed it with others, which
were read in court today. They We're
the letters of a business man, in which
he described his property and said he
could afford a home, but later wrote
that he did not care whether she vas
a grass widow or hay widow" if she
was his. A subsequent letter declared
that he was unable to marry and
asked the plaintiff to cancel the agree
ment." Headlee is AZ years old and
well known and his ST. Louis trip only
leaked out when the suit was filed.
