Miss Daniels s refusal to pay taxes
was because Grafton was represented
at Montpelier by votes in the negative
on the question of equal suffrage. Her
issue is with the town, not with the
state, which by its constitution can
not grant full suffrage until 1923, ex-
cept through the passage of federal
amendment which the state could
ratify.

FindIey Justice.

Jud FIndIey and the sheet edited by
FIunkey Flu use a great amount Of
space in telling the public that the
most Jud has been able to do with
Charles Harr, alleged gam bier, is TO
have him convicted of taking rou-
lette wheel from county officers in a
raid.
This was a great moral question
|superseding that of operating a gam
bling place and also that of gambling
and ii was, therefore, necessary to
proceed with that case over all 9TH
ers.
Operating gambling place
amounts to a tride only, it seems,
when compared to taking a roulette
wheel from officers.
Again, Jud himself, puts up the
pitiful plea in self-defense that it Is
very hard, indeed, to get enough ev-
ideuce in a raid to convict gamblers.
1T seems that he thinks it proper TO
follow the practice of throwing men
into jail hoping that before they can
get out, some kind of evidence will
turn up which will justify his action.
For instance, the Telegram cites the
fasco, which was heralded as a great
raid on coke" joint, resulting from
which all captured were let go.
All this is Findley justice as des-
cribed by Findley and Flunkey Flu's
sheet.

Those Upstarts.

s'If ever there was an excuse for
a man laying aside his party preju-
dices for a few minutes and helping
to waIIop the upstart element which
has crept In and presumes 70 die
tate" is the latest gotten on by, the
Exponent, edited by man who came
here a few weeks ago from Tyler
county.
The utterance applies to himself
as well as to some one else whom he
Is trying to urge. upon the people Of
Clarksburg as one of their future city
officers. The Tyler county fellow is
certainly properly classified with the
upstart element which has crept in
and presumes TO dictate" He can
not deny that he is an upstart here
and he dare nc. say, and tell the
truth, that he has not crept in and
is presuming to dictate. Those who
know the manner of his coming and
the course he has pursued since he
came also know that he has properly
defined himself as an upstart who has
crept in and presumes to dictate.
According to his own statement, men
should lay aside party prejudices a
few minutes and wallop him by re-
pudiating his ideas at the polls cleo
ton day.
The upstart element which has
crept in and presumes to dictate also
includes the Democratic gangs nom
inee for mayor. He perfectly exem-
pIifies an upstart. He came here
from another state so recently that
he has never voted at city election
here, and he has never paid any city
taxes, not even poll tax. In spite of
these things, he has fedged out as
one who seeks to be mayor of the
city and who would presume to be
dictator If elected. The Exponent is
acquainted with these facts concerning
Nominee Johnson for mayor and the
Telegram agrees with it in its classi-
fcation of him as an upstart. The
Telegram also feels confident that
many a Democrat will lay aside par
ty prsjudices few minutes and help
the Republicans to give him wal
Looping at the polls such as he viii not
soon forget.

Votinr as LIncoln DID.

! eff you are Republican why not
remember Lincoln when you enter
the booth to vote?" The Exponent
asks that question and then 1t says:
"Vote the straight Democratic
ticket"
Abraham Lincoln never voted the
Democratic ticket and the Democratic
gang never voted the Republican
ticket either. The Democratic nom
inee for mayor never voted the Re-
publican ticket.
If you do as Abraham Lincoln did
you will vote the Republican ticket.
If you do as Abraham Lincoln never
did, you will vote the Democratic
ticket.
Yes, think of Abraham Lincoln,
Republicans of Clarksburg, as you
enter the booth, and you will not
vote the Democratic ticket. DO as
Abraham Lincoln did, and you will
vote the Repu blican ticket.

where Danger Really Is.

AS a subterfuge a certain part of
the Dem ocratic party in this city
which is trying to delude the people,
is warming up" to the commission
form of government, and the EXpon-
ent refers to the present kind of gov
tenn which has grown up among the
cities and towns of our broad land. "
Then, it is not a dangerous sys-
tenn to m orality to have commission
form OF government such as Hunt
.ington has, where the administration
has declared red light districts
necessities and where the mayor re-
fused to keep the city rid of them,
despite the protests of the ministers
and others? No, indeed, there is
nothing dangerous there to public

A staggering increase in salaries
under the new form of government
at Fairmon is not dangerous at all,
is it? 1t is fad and fads are never

CIarksburg 'moralist" says that IS all
right. Judge A. G. Dayton, Friday.
January "a, 1913, declared from the
federal bench in Parkerspurg, as re
ported by the Parkersburg Sentinel,
a Democratic newspaper, that the
government OF Parkersburg was the
rottenest, foulest and stinkingest in
the state. Here are his exact words :
Right here I want to say that this
reform city administration is the. rot
tenest. foulest and stinkingest in the
state of West Virginia. If this is re-
form government, then God save the
rest of the state"
Is this what the Clarksburg "mor-

them are contendIng for and what the
JohnsoniZed element of the Demo-
cratic party is warming up to.

That Lincoln visit.

The Exponent, the mouthpiece OF
the Democratic gangs nominee for
mayor, says that If Abraham Lin
coin could visit Clarksburg, "the
sight of such men as Sherman Dem
ham and Virgil L. Highland taking
active part In the municipal election
would be very apt to cause the father
of the Republican party to turn away
In sorrow and disgust"
About the first thing Mr.. Lincoln
would say, were he to meet the DEM

That stigrna Upon Honor.

The Exponent vilely declares that
citizens of Clarksburg who vote the
Repu blican ticket here April z will
cast a stigma upon their honor. 1t
assigns as partial basis for thtg vile
statement the fact that Virgil L..
Highland, one of the city's leading
bankers and upbuilders, will vote
that ticket.
The declaration as made by the Ex-
ponent is such as TO convince the
thinking public that it came from one
without honor. The people of Clarks-
burg know Mr.. Highlands worth to
the community and they know that
he has no desire to bring diskonor
upon the citizenship of Clarksburg.
Within the last twelve months, the
true worth of Mr.. Highland as cue Of
the city's leading developers was i'm
pressed in a most striking manner,
and it is worthy of note that the ES-
ponent itself paid high tribute to
him.
The Incident is fresh in the minds
of the people and the Telegram
now to show the vileness the editor
of the Exponent. an assassin OF char
acter, INDUCES in, in this hour of dis
tress. Mr.. Highland had been -ap-
pointed chairman of the state public
service commission, an appoin tment
by the governor conceded by Leading
men of all political parties as ideal.
He spent a number of weeks at
Charleston as such state official and
decided to resign and return home to
devote himself again to the develop
ment of Clarksburg. From a state
viewpoint his severing himself from
the state commission was deeply de-
plored. but Clarksburg from a local
viewpoint hailed his return home
with great delight. and a great home
coming banquet was given him, at
which many leading Democrats OF
the city were among those who
sang his praises and paid him high
tribute as a leading spirit in progress
sive CIarksburg.
In view of all this, 1t is passing
strange that there is really a de-
PRAYED wretch in our midst to de-
clare that men who vote for men Mr..

much love for Abraham Lincoln that
they tried to set up a new govern

have another kind of love for the

differs from that of their fathers in
that they seek to use the memory OF
the immortal president to set up
