a TW0 RING ATTRACTION,

The Democratic space, writers arc
laboring over time in an effort to
prove that the old reactionary DEM
,ocratic party is really a progressive
party They denounce the Republi-
cans as stand patters and admit that
the Progressives are progressive but
they say Its principles are not suffl-
GENTLY developed to make a working
hypothesis Of government" This
quotation is taken from the Fair
mont Times which is running the
Progressive and Democratic cam
.paign as two ring attraction at the
price OF; one admission. We want

THE West Virginian is not saying
this but ii is in substance and mean

Republicans, whether you were u
Roosevelt, or Taft Republican last

that issue is the tariff. Taking the

LAUGHLIN's BULLETIN.

Geo. A. Laughlin's bulletin today
attacks Mr.. Hearne's record and Mr..
Laughlin says that some paper was
found in Wheeling after an election
which was said 10 be an account of
something like $4,000 that Mr..
Hearne was said to have spent in one
Campaign for the legislature. In the
first place there is no credence to be
put in such unsupported testimony
as any one could write q paper and
lose 1t in q convenient place, but II
there was such eXpense'it comes with
very poor grace from Mr.. Laughlin
in making this kind Of an attack.
Mr.. Laughlin, from all appearances,
is spending more money in the pres
ent campaign than all his COMPETE
tors combined. His bill for newspa-
per advertising alone will stagger
him when he pays the bills. His htF-
ed workers arc going all over the
district putting up cards on fine
cardboard proclaiming the virtues of
George and denouncing his oppo-
neRts. He has his picture very
prominently displayed in the street
cars and all, this work costs money
and lots of it, and Mr.. Laughlin
should be the last man in the world
to say anything about the use OF
money in the campaign
But to show Mr.. Laughlin's utter
disregard for facts he devotes about

ANOTHER TRUTH WELL SPOKEN

"The Democratic, party is the par.
ty Of safety and security in, a time
Of social disturbance and political
unrest THE Times.
We have always observed that
things are very quiet under a DEM
ocratic administrations With an
empty dinner pail, and a business
depression hanging over the country
like n cloud, there is not much ambi-
tion left in the people and in their
weakened and impoverished condi-
ton they do not feel like creating
much of a disturbance. Then. too,
there is always that absence of the
hum Of machinery and the shrill
whistle at the shops Is not heard so
often, which adds TO the domestic
tranquility.

THE REAL REAcr1oNAR1Es.

I We are often reminded by our
friends across the street that the Re-
publican party Is a stand pat party
and led by such men as Scott, PEN
rose. etc. They do not stop to admit
the Chiffon and MacCorkle crowd
have been the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party for Sthe last twenty
years. They do not pause to constd-
err that Senator Watson is a late
addition to that leadership. The Re-
publican party has shifted its leader
ship from one shoulder to another
every few years during all its his
tory in this state, but the Democrat
ic party has been and is still being
led by the same old crowd. John T.
McGraw with the great masses Of
tho people behind him has tried
time and again to wrest the leader
ship from this reactionary bunch oil
politicians and restore it to the peos
pie, but he has proved unequal to
the task. He has seemingly given
up the fight in disgust.
The Chiffon : Watson : MacCorkle
crowd fought Woodrow Wilson to
the bitter end at Baltimore. Mac
Gorkle had one of his characteristic
brainstorms on the floor Of the Bal
timore convention when he saw
Bryan on the floor and received
some very curt kilograms from his
Democratic brethren back home.

The Democratic newspapers arc
now trying to apologize for the Un-
dcrwood bill by saying that it is
only a reduction of $50 on the av-
evareg tariff duty. If there was any
thing in the theory that n low tariff
lowered the price to the consumer
$50 ought to make a noticeable diff
ference, shouldn't it? But it doesn't
does it? No, it does not.

is such a good thing for the people
