tariff laws, the product of a Demo-
cratic caucus dominated and contrOll-
cd by representatives Of the cotton
states of the south.
AS citizens Of the First Congress
sional district of West Virginia we
will be untrue to ourselves, untrue
tc the interest of our fellow men, ana
unworthy of the confidence of the
electorate, if we fail TO protect
against a tariff policy so destructive
to our interests, and we appeal with
confidence to the voters Of this dis
trfct to register on October l4th, a
verdict that will show their disap-
rroval of tariff legislation designed
to weaken and destroy American in
dustry, lower the wages Of American
workfngmen. and rob the American
farmer of the profits OF his honest
toll.
In the state of West Virginia
particularly, the Republican party
has been the great progressive party.
In sixteen years of control Of state
administration, it has given to the
people of West Virginia system of
tax laws unsurpassed for fairness,
for equality, for justice, by any other
state of the Union.
1t has given us two cent fare law
securing to the people of West Viz
ginia cheaper transportation over the
railroads than is enjoyed by 80 per
cent. Of the people of the Union.
1t has given us uniform account
ing act which has protected the tax
payers against the mistakes and en-
actions of ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS
local officials.
It has created a public service
commission, through which tho
people of thsi state can effectively
Eexercise proper and reasonable con-
ltrol Of the railroads. the street car
companies, the electric light com.
panies, the water power companies,
and the many similar corporations
THAT enjoy special privileges and per-
form public service.
Greatest of all the Republican par
ty has given to the people of this
state a workman's compensation act,
which will insure Justice and a fair
compensation to the humblest and
Ilowliest workmen injured in our
mines, our factories, or on our rail-
roads.
| The Republican party in this state
has simplified the management of the
state institutions and put each AMI
levery one of them on the most eco
nomical and efficient basis.
Proud of these facts and proud Of
the men who are responsible for
them, we heartily endorse the sue
cessive Republican administrations
in West Virginia and appeal to all
good citizens for the continued sup
Fort of an organization that has done
so much for the welfare Of the peo-
ple Of this state. Particularly do we
commend the present administration
of our peerless Governor, Henry D.
Hatfield, we recognize the value of
his work to the people of this state,
through the active influence he has
exercised in the settlement Of a dis
ustrous mine strike and through the
