Getting Il l,ir:,t;.

An exchange clearly expresses IN
the following editorial paragraph The
attitude Of the American people to-
ward emperors, kings and other royal
riffraff, whose egotism, greed and
ldespotism have largely brought about
the European cataclysm:
Here in America we do not be-
lieve in kaisers or czars or emperors
or kings. Here in America we hav.,
no sympathy with the ,autocratic form
Iof government. We believe in the
government ot the people. by the
people. for the people. We think it
Epreposterous that In this age Of the
world two or thres 1nen who happen
to have been born to thrones can dis
arrange business, inflict untold suf-
ifering upon mankind and send a mil
lion men to the grave before their
time. We have no use for rulers OF
that sort and we trust the close OF
the great war now on will witness the
obstruction of auIocracy and the In
auguration of republics in every sec
ton Of Europe. AS for the people OF
Europe, they are our brothers, what
ever their nationality. We are pro-
foundry distressed over the unhappy
fortune which makas them the vic
tins Of autoeratic ambition and we
are hoping for thsir emancipation. /.

The Best I,eal,t,sif.

The Bluefeld Telegraph is already
worrying about another change in its
,city's charter. Itsuggests that the mat
ter be threshed out In town meetings
before the Legislatures meets IN order
that the people lnsy agree on the
principal features Of the new doc
ument. Then 1t throws ride.ight
upon an iniquitous practice that has
been denounced for Yeas by the Tel
.egram as follows:
Usually the charter is drawn up
In 9; hurry and taken by thu Icgisla-
Iture and rushed through without its
weak places and vicious provisions
being discovered until important
questions come up afterwards. That
the charter needs amending many
agree. It should be the pleasure OF
those who lead such a movement TO
take the people into their confidence. \,
The best thing the poppls oe Blue
field can do is not 10 hold town meet
ings half the year IN an effort to
thwart the machi1ntions Of the pol
iticians who will pull the wool over
their eyes with a new, hastily passed
special charter, but to institute de-
termined campaign in favor of q
municipal code and against the
whole nasty special charter system.

Rule or Rnin.

Governed by the rule or ruin pol.
icy, some Progressive leaders in the
Second congressional district are
busy now trying to fnd |. way to
take the Progressive congressional
nomination in that district away
from Noah Keim. They are prompted
in their action by the fact that his
name was before the Republican
congressional convention. Had he
received the Republican nomination
in addition to the Progressive nomi-
nation would he have been asked to
get off the Progressive ticket?
1t certainly appears that the go
called leaders of the Progressive
party fail to appreciate the fact that
men are nominated to seek ami re-
,ceive votes whether. they be Demo
cratic. Progressive or Republican.
They certainly do not mean tina. their
nominee shall receive no votes except
those of the men who proclaim them
selves Progressives? Would they
not like for both Democrats and Re-
Ipublicans to vote for their nominees
land why should they then nor toicr-
ate a nominees seeking the endorse
ment Of another political party as a
whole? It looks like they are acting
like fools.

Depraved Tor Pa1.tr sake.

Commenting on row In Demo-

ccratic press in this section begs
Democrats not to fight but tos stand
for all that rottenness in the party
fostered by the Democratic state ma
chine, yes, stand by and for it for
the sake of winning. 1t Is not a
question Of principle then, not one
Of clean politics but simply a matter
of winning.
Remarking on this deprayed atti-
tude for sake Of party the Bluefield
Telegraph pointedly says
II that is good doctrine for the
Democrats why is 1t not. good doc
srlne for the Republicans? We have
seard much talk Of the awakening Of
civic conscience. and the determi-
nation OF the people to stand on the

partisan politics still rampant, and

A DENIAL.

AS the primary campaign has been
progressing, the talk has gone forth
from time to time that l have prom
ised certain parties that in the event
of my success at the polls, they
should name my deputy.
l wish to state that there is no
foundation whatever for any such
talk. l have made no promises of
any nature whatsoever, believing that
there is plenty of time to take care
of such matters after the election is
over.
l therefore positively and emphat-
ically deny that any promises of this
nature have been made by me, and
further state that l have not been
approached on this subject by any
one. l am simply standing on my
merits as man before the people of
Morrow county and asking the NOM
ination at the hands of the Republi-
cans of this county for the office of
Clerk upon this platform. If this
will not win, then l am going to be
satisfied.

on his record as law enforcing Of

high Office economically, diligently,
courageously and conscientiously,
without fear or favor. Further, he
says, "a career of wide experience
as District Attorney guarantees that

In the haste attendant upon the
installation of our new linotype, the
first machine of it's kind to be set up

made some blunders in resetting
some of the standing matter" in

the omission Of the announcement
of G. A. Bleakman, Of Hardman,
from the list of candidates for county
commissioner. Some may have been
led to think that George had with
drawn from the race, but such is not
the case and his name appears in its
proper place among the list of polit-
ical aspirants Of Morrow county.
Mr.. Bleakman expects to make q
strong race for this office, feeling
that the south end of the county is
entitled to place in the county
court, and that his section is not
making a large demand when they
desire to have such consideration
We are pleased to note that Mr..
Bleakman does not feel "sore" at us
for our oversight, and it is also
gratifying to know that he is receiv-
ing strong endorsement from his
own people.

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THURSDAY, May 7. 1914.

In this issue of the Gazette-T1mes
appears the positive statement OF
Mr.. J. A. Waters, of lone, candidate
for the office of County Clerk on the
republican ticket, denying that he
has in any way promised the place
of deputy clerk. There should be
no necessity for Mr.. Waters to make
this denial, and we should have moth
ing to say about it if it were not for
the fact that some one, maliciously
inclined, is continually connecting
the editor of this paper and his eld-
est son with the report. The lie,
for such it is, has it that Mr.. Waters
has promised the deputyship to
Crawford, and he, of course will see
that it goes to his boy. Too bad
that a man cannot be allowed to ex-
press his preference for man be-
cause he is a man, and is considered
the best man to be nominated for this
important Office, but has to be ac-
cused of doing so because of some
Interior motive. We have had some
little experience in politics, and have
long since learned that there are
some people who are of this stripe.
but they are few after all. We simp-
ly wish to add our denial to that of
Mr.. Waters, and say, emphatically,
that there is no truth whatever in
the statement. Crawford has no in
terest whatever in who is to be Mr..
Waters deputy, should he be success
full at the polls, and there is no un-
derstanding of this sort. To those
who wish to continue spreading this
campaign lie this denial will not ap-
peal, but to our many friends over
the county it will be accepted and
they will not be fooled therby.
