HEAT OF CONFLICT.

The political tension in the various political races to be decided in the primary of March 25 seems to bo reaching the white heat stage. AL ready there have been recriminations and charges and counter-charges and the language used has been more emphatic than polite.
 This method of political practice is always more or less abhorred by the public. That campaigns cannot be carried along on plain argumentive lines. making the feature of all ar. sument rather the adaptability of the candidate himself, than the faults Of the other, is to be regretted
 But when the mud-slingers get 10 work there is at least one consoling thought. They enlighten the public. Men tell things in the heat of politi- cal strife that they probably would no under any other conditions dis close. Perhaps the disclosures are true. At least thep are worth an analysis.
 The public life of this section has not been what it should be- That condition is not peculiar to Hot Springs. Everywhere the same con dition exists-but also everywhere the better element of citizenship t engaged in the task of correcting the wrong.
 It is up to the voter to watch the situation carefully, and to make his deductions out of the mouths of all the candidates, and then to deter mine for himself which candidate foi an office is most qualified, better adapted most willing to be clean public servant, and then to give that candidate his vote, at the same time serving not only to better conditions but as a rebuke to the unworthy

Refutes Arguments of His Political Opponent and
Accepts Nomination For Congress
In Accepting the Nomination For Congress of the
Democratic Congressional Convention, Held
in Parkersburg, June %, Hon. J. M.
Hamilton Addressed the Conven-
ton as Follows.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:
Before accepting the nomination
which you have so generously and
unanimously rendered to me, | de-
sire to say few words in refutation
or certain statements relative to my
self, made in newspaper in this city,
as well as uttered upon the floors of
Congress by a member of the Ma
tional House of Representatives
which have been instigated, not
through any actual personal animos-
1ty toward me, j am satisfied, but
merely because there was at the time
OF their deliverance a possibility that
should be candidate for Congress.
They were made, however, at a time
when no candidacy had been an
nounced by me or for me, and when,
beyond the expressing of a willingness
to accept with gratitude the honor of
a nomination, If conferred upon me, l
had not asked the suffrage of a single
voter, nor taken the slightest action
to secure the nomination The on
slaught has been made without provo
cation, without justice and without
even the semblance Of truthfulness.
and relating to public matter within
the cogniZance of nearly every voter
in the district, the charges are such
that from the inconsistency appearing
upon their face, their unreasonable
ness and the ignorance upon which
they are based, they bear the evidence
of their own unworthiness Coming
from sources where something better
might be expected public journal

the district of great political party,
and the Congressman deem them
worthy of a reply.

ton of June 9th, protested to give to

ton with the West Virginia Debt

in my hand the indisputable evidence
to support me, the resolution itself

so that l could discharge with some
degree of efficiency the trust which
had been already committed to me;
and not with any view and perhaps
without even a thought that | would
ever again be a candidate for Con-
gress. Therefore, to say that this
resolution was introduced on the eve
of the campaign of 1912 is absolutely
untrue, and the intimation that It was
done to further the political interests
of myself, or any other person is with
out the slightest basis of foundation.

In the campaign of 1910 ] had stated
that in Mr.. James G. Blaine'5 History
of Twenty Years in Cougiess," it was
stated by that great author that West
Virginia was neither legally or morally
bound for the payment o. one dollar of
the Virginia Debt, and that the part of
the debt presumtively represented
by the territory of West Virginia
should be assumed ana paid by the
National Government; and l promised
that, in the event of my election, 1
would endeavor to get the Government
to do what Mr.. Blaine lad so en-
phatically and forcibly said it ought
to do in that respect. Was it clap
