or in the past or are now candidates
for office on the Democratic ticket.
They made the plea that they
wanted government less expensive
and the plan the people endorsed pro-
vided for only three commissioners
while the plan these Democrats
forced them to take, provided for
four commissioners with an extra
salary provision of $4,000.
He stated that the Democratic
Commissioners came. into power with
the city facing floating indebted
ness of 100000 and that the policy
of any good business man under such
conditions would have been retrencll=
ment, but that these men coming
into office with pledge Of economy
en- their lips proceeded at once to Gre
ate new offices and advance salaries
and hire people to do the work they
are paid to do.
He stated that the salary of the
city attorney had been increased
from $240 to $1,000 per year, that
the salary OF the city physician had
been doubled, He charged that in
stead of earning the salaries the peo-
Pile paid them that these commission
ers hired others to. do their work
while they were drawing salaries
from many other sources in plain vio-
lation of the charter.
He read from a tabulated state
ment detailed figures taken from the
published estimates of levy for.1 1919
and 1914 as certified to by the city
Clerk an showed that the list in
1913 provided $for Salaries and wages
only amount Ing to $30,491, while
Under the aeconomical" Democratic
farce, these same salaries
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-10-20

and wages have been increased to
$50,217. an increase of nearly S20,.
900 per year in tile salary and wage
budget. He also showed from these
official figures that the returns IN
permanent improvements were $4,000
less than in 1918, being $49,OoO III
|1913 andionly $40. 000ain 1914. X
The speaker stated that there were
some good ,things in the charter and
read Sec: M as an example which
reads as follows: ut shall be the
duty Of the city treasurer to keep all
funds Of the city in some bank or
banks which shall pay 29S or more
on such deposits, payable quarter
~" He stated that the published
estimates of receipts for 1914 failed
to disclose that any interest had
ever been paid upon these deposits.
"The Old Fairmont Cemetery.
From page 10 of the printed char
ter he read the following: And the
Board of Affairs is hereby authorized
and empowered to sell and convey Dy
proper deed the certain lot or pul-
eel Or land situate near Fatrmont In
1.-The county of Marion, known and
called the old Fairmont Cemetery,
being the land granted to the bOr-
cugh of Fairmont as public bury
ing ground by Uz Barnes and wife
by deed bearing date on the goth day
of March, 1851"
Who had that put in the charter?
the speaker asked. He asked, who
represented Fairmont in the legisla-
lurc ut the last session? FEe asked
1.-The audience If they wanted to desc
crate the graves of their .honored an
cestors WHO had been permitted to
rest peacefully in this old ,burying
ground for half century by'opening
up streets and alleys over their re-
mains. He asked If town lots were
so scarce in Fairmont that this old
grave yard must be sold to enrich
real estate spectators? MIR. Davis
asserted that il he was sent to the
Senate he would take this provision
from the charter in the twinkling OF
an eye. He stated that Democratic
commissioners Of Fairmont hardly
waited till they got their easy chairs
warm until they had advertised to
sell this grave yard that was donat-
ed by one of the pioneer citizens Of
Fairmont as an act of charity and
Ibenevo1ence.
He referred to the first plank of
his platform which reads: Beat the
Bosses" and stated that unless the
people "beat the bosses they could
not "change the charter" and that
all the progressive planks of his plat,
form would fall If the first one was
not carried out.
After Mr.. Davis who's spoke for
nearly an hour. had closed his re-
marks, MIR. White was introduced.
This is, thesfirst time since Mr.. White
made his speech accepting the nom
