WHAT WORRIES THEM.

"He (Davis) cannot be consist even
in his secret letter."-The Times.
The Republican candidate for the
senate has issued no secret letters.
Has no secrets in regard to where lie
stands on any public questions. Has
never had and never intends to have
secrets about these things. He be-
lieves the voters have right to this
information The labor men asked
him where he stood on certain ques-
lions, and he told them, just as he
does everybody else who asks him.
The Secretary OF the State, Fedora
ton of Labor says in reply.to his an
swers to questions: II am pleased
with the way you have answered our
demands" That's what worries the
Times and the Office Holders Trust Of
Marion county.

ers' office? If they favor paying the
sheriff Of this county five times as
much as the governor gets and as
much the governor, the auditor, secre-
tary OF state, the attorney general and
treasurer all get? The people certain
" have right to know where the can
'didates stand on this vital issue.
Will Mr.. Glover, who is said itouPe
slated for the Democratic nomination
for sheriff, support Democratic candi-
dates for the senate and house OF del
egates who are in favor of bantsllinG
the robber fee system? Right here
we want to say that the Republican
party got rid of the fee system In the
state offices, and II it is returned to
power in West Virginia it will do SO
in county offices and save the tax
payers a half million dollars each year.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-10-23

10 correct them. Can the Times say
as much? The Times accused the
West Virginian with Justification when
it stated that the good roads bonds
were sold below par in violation OF the
law, and that Mr. Shaver did not vote
fcr the Prohibition law, although he
was elected at the same election when
the Prohibition amendment received
over 6,4OO votes in Marion county and
a majority OF over 1900, to be exact,
4.O16. The Times has had its atten-
ton called to this Misrepresentation
repeatedly and It has SO far failed and
refused to withdraw the statement 1t
has since learned Is not correct.
Why does not the Democratic or
gan be fair and acknowledge when 1t
gets off the tramroad of veracity?
The contract for Mr.. Heffncr'a
advertisement was signed by him on
Sept. 10th, the copy submitted to
him on that date and approved by
him. and was not changed, because
he thought no more about 1t.

cratic ticket by the committee Ia

cutting down its force and with $50
men thrown out ottempl oyment at the
Nonongah Glass Company plant?
These men have been drawing their
weekly wages to spend at the stores.
But what will they spend now that
this wage has stopped? Some Of them,
no doubt, have savings accounts ito
draw upon for awhile, hut when the
savings account is gone. what are
these men to do unless we get a
change of conditions which will in.

fires along the line OF the B. & o. and
sleeping around the ovens at night?
When has the earnings of the B. & o.
Railroad Company shown such u great
decrease as shown by the statement
published yesterday?
When Major Nicely comes to Fair
mont we hope he will investigate these
conditions, and when he does II he is
as patriotic as he should be, he will
withdraw from the Democratic ticket
and say to the people Of Fairmont,
I'VE are wrong on this tariff ques-
tion; 1t has closed our factories and
1t has not reduced the high cost OF

would do"

VIII the Times please inform its
readers whether or not 1t wants its
Democratic candidates elected by the
hundred or more Alabama virginia
and North Carolina negroes who have
been frauduiently registered in the old
Second ward? .'N,
Will the Times say to its readers
that these men who are here temper
arily are bona fide residents and voters
in the city? Will it tell its readers
that the affairs of the state and nation
should be decided upon such fraudu-
lent votes?

Since when has. the Times been con-
lserted to the idea that the laboring
man is to be considered in the cleo:
ton Of men 10 Office? 1t shows Its pa
thetic yearnipg for the laboring man
in another one of its attacks upon the
Republican candidate for the senate.
but It fails to report the fact that the
Republican candidate for the senate
has been friend of the laboring man
in the past and when he was not a
candidate for any office.
The Times quotes the following
from circular OF the Republican can
,didate. 1t divides the sentence In two
parts in order to make 1t appear in.
consistent. II the Times wanted TO
quote what was said, why did not It
show fairness, enough to publish the
sentence as whole? Why does not
the Times publish all the answers, II
1t wants to be fair with the laboring
men? Here is the isolated sentence
the Times selects for its attack:
Party platform pledges should not
interfere with public officer doing
his full duty to the people and when
u party platform is found to be wrong
and that another course than follow
ing the platform viii render a greater
good to greater number OF people.
he should be guided by the interests
of his constituents. Party platforms
are in fact contracts with the voters
and should not be violated without the
consent OF the voters who are parties
to the contract"
Our neighbor will have to do lot
twisting of the English language to
get any similarity from this sentence
to the violation OF the Panama Canal
plank of the Democratic platform,
The Democratic party did not get the
consent of the voters who elected its
candidates to violate their pledge.
They were bludgconed into it by Eng
land, and by their action they forbid
American coastwise vessels from US
ing the canal Free. although 1t was
built by American money.
II the voters had demanded this
plank rescinded. it would have been
different proposition. but they did
not.
No candidate for Office has the right
to go before the people with lot OF
pledges to get votes and then openly
repudiate those pledges. He should
not be so narrow or partisan that he
would not do the best thing he can
under all conditions for the best in
terests Of his constituents. Junior
Brown, Democratic congressman
Thought we should not surrender to
England and he voted against his par
ty on the canal proposition. MIR. Nicely
voted TO help England and discrimin'
ate against our own American ships.
The voters Of America did not request
by petition or in any other way that
this Democratic platform plank be re.
pudiated. If they had there would
have been some excuse for the repu'
diation.
The Times knows 1t dare not pub
fish the circular letter'it says is Sc
cret. The Republican candidate for
the senate will pay the Times its usual
advertising rates to publish 1t In full'
Does that look like secrecy?

MERCY AND VENGEANCE.

"a number OF people have suggested
to the Times that 1t should go after
the editor of the West Virginian and
the political faction he represents and
give them the SHINING they deserve"
The Times.
The editor of the West Virginian
no political faction except
the Republican party. He, as candi-
date and as an editor. stands for the
principles of the Republican party and
shall continue to stand for them as
long as they are right. But the Times
is to be commended for mingling u
trace of mercy with its vengeance.

MA. AIKEN AND THE TIMES.

The Times makes some reference to
Mr.. Heifner's advertisement in the
special number of the West Virginian
OF yesterday, in which it is claimed
that Mr.. HeTfner is the only nominee
for the legislature who carries union
card. The editor OF the West Virgin
ian did not write the advertisement
neither did he see 1t or read it before
1t was in print. The copy was handled
by another member of the staff, and
we will say for the benefit of Mr. Aiken
that we are informed that he carries
card and we believe that the So
cialists have some candidates for this
Office woh carry union cards.
There was no effort made to hold
up" Mr.. Aiken or anybody else. He
was offered space just as were all the
candidates. No party was barred.
Those who wanted space got 1T and
many OF the Democratic candidates
were properly represented and are
well pleased with the service, and
given the same treatment in this edi.
tfon as the Republican candidates.
The Times has refused to sell ad-
vertising space to Republican tcandi-
dates at space rates. 1t evidently does
not want the issues placed before its
subscribers from any angle but its
own particular partisan one. =

HARSH NAME.

Tie Times calls the platform OF the
Republican candidate for the senate
"demagogic." That sounds real harsh.
but 1t is not half SO bad as 1t sounds.
for that is exactly what the Times
las always said about the Roosevelt
propaganda.
Anything the common people want
and the special interests do not want
is "demagogic" with the Times.

FEARS TO TELL.

Does the Times fear to tell its read
ers where its candidates for the legis-

campaign? Or does the Times want
them to get votes like TON Stagger's

going?" They will catch a good many
of them going this time, in our humble
opinion.
