RAPS AT DEMOCRATS

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Jan. 90
Representing the Taft administration
tonight at the Hotel Taft. at the an
nuaI banquet on the Mckinley club,
of Connecticut, Charles Nagel, secre-
of commerce and labor, said that
the American people were not in
their normal minds last fall. He
ridiCuled the referendum, and as
serted that. for efficiency. the Taft
administration defed comparison
with any State or municipal admin
istration. He said:
Were the voters ofthe I-nited
States in a normal state of mind last
fall they would have insisted that
the man who. as secretary of war,
laid the plans for the Panama canal,
and as president pushed the canal
forward to completion. should not
have been denied the right to see,
as president of the United States,
the first ship go through the canal.
They say we Republicans did not
keep our promise in regard to the
tariff The president did. We have
got a bill that's the greatest revenue
getter we ever had. What do they
want? To go back to the old system
of specialized legislation, or to aban-
don the system that seeks to protect
every industry
Says Democrats Know.
THE Democratic senators know as
we'll as we do what their needs are,
and they voted to protect their States.
! tell you the Democrats are the great
est nationalists in the world for s64
days of the year. and on the, 3s5th,
they are the greatest States rights
men. On 364 they demand fifty mil
lion for Southern railroads and on
the 365th they rap the government
for extravaganza.
We have questions for the future.
The currency question is the question
which is beginning to Cypress the De-
mocrats. We shall see how they
tackle it. Somehow, the name of
Wilson has an ominous sound when
spoken in connection with the cur

SILENT APPROVAL.

When the council Jailed and re-
fused to appoint the election officers
TO hold tile city election according
to law, the Times was silent as an
oyster while this outrage was being
committed and did not even publish
the list of appointments and when the
Republican organization applied to
the supreme court for relief that pa
per denounced the Republicans who
were only asking that their rights
be protected as bunch of "kickers. +"
That is how fair the Democratic or
gan wants to be. As long as things
were permitted to run along smooth
ly and while they we're going its way,
everything was lovely. The Times
has not to this day ever published
the list of appointments that the
council did make although it makes
great pretcntions about publishing
the news"
1t showed excellent judgment,
however in not attempting to defend
the council in its unlawful action,
but It's silent approval is not so COM
plimentary.

The West Virginian has made no as

intend to do SO, but it reserves the
right to reflect the issues Of the city
campaign and show just what posi-
I tionz the Watsons and their special
interests are taking in this campaign
and to show the reasons for this po-
Ssition. The Times well knows that

g..
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1913-12-08

just so long will they find vigorous
protest arising from Republican
sources. The straight partisan cleo
tions being eliminated under the new
charter they made no attempt to con-
troll Republican nominations, know
ing they could not do it, and falling
in this they attempt now not only to
run their own campaign but have
undertaken to manage the campaign
for Mr.. Lehman in an open and
boastful attempt to prevent Repub-
licans from holding office in the city.
They have double purpose in this.
One Is to disorganIze, if possible, the
Republican party, and the other and
possibly the main and best reason,
is for protection to their business in
terests which are admittedly large
in tile city. They nave perfect
right to protect their own private in
terests in every way possible, but
their boasted wealth does not give
them the right TO disfranchiSe
large percentage Of the voters and
taxpayers of the city by refusing
them recognition iaetne city admin
Eastration which is Intended to be non
partisan. The Republicans are ac-
ppcustd by the Times Of making vain
effort to gain political prestige. The
Republicans are asking for no polit-
ical prestige nor political control
Of the affairs OF tile city. They are
protesting against the Watson ele-
ment trying to control the city gov
ernment by electing Mr. Lehman as
their first choice on the Board Of Al
fairs along with their own candi-
dates. The petty political .adyan-
tage cannot inspire this action and
there must be some big business rea-
sons for it.
