The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-09-14
STAGING THE SIDE SHOW.

The Wheeling Register seems T.
be somewhat agitatcd about the po'
sition of what it terms the "reac-
tionary newspapers" which are sup
porting Mr.. White for congress, ar
taking in regard to the Progresslr2
challenge for a joint debate between
the Congressional candidates, and de-
votes considerable space to a Discus
sion of the West Firginian's opinion
about the matter.
The Register in part says: "WhllN
Mr.. White still has time to accept
the thing that makes the Register
dubious is the attitude Of the reac-
tionary newspapers which are sup
porting him." If the Register hau
used the word furious" instead OF
dubious" no doubt it would have
made itself better understood
been more to the point.
The Register says that the read
ing of the editorial comments give
the impression that they have been
inspired. AS far as the West Virgin
ian is concerned it car say that II
has had no communication with MI.
White, MOI with any member Of MS
committee, nor any of his friends IN
regard to the challenge and does moi
know, nor care, what Mr.. White IN
tends to do about accepting the chal-
lenge. We did not think 1t of sutll-
Cicnt Importance to communicate
with him about 1t. The view we
lave taken has been taken by the
Huntington Hcrald-Dispatch with
regard to a similar challenge made
by the Progressive chairman Of the
Fifth Congressional district, who Is
a law partner of the Democratic
candidate, to discuss the issues alone
with the Republican candidate. TINS
seems to be a regularly framed up
scheme, for what purpose the LORD
and the Democratic party only know,
TO NEEDLE in the business of the Re-
publican candidates. AS far as we
are concerned, Mr.. White, Mr.. Nicely
and all the rest of the candidates may
arrange their itineraries for speak
ings to suit their own ideas of what
should be done.
The Register makes a lementablc
plea for the Progressive candidate
when it asserts that the Progrcsslves
cast the second largest vote in this
district two years ago. and that they
east a respectable" vote last fall.
According to Judge O'Brien, of the
Mason Circuit Court, and according
to the Supreme Court of West Vir.
ginia, the Progressive party cast no
votes either year. Judge O'Bricn,
himself a Roosevelt supporter, said
there was no Progressive party In
1912 but that he and many others
we're Roosevelt supporters.
We admit that the Register may be
right when it says the Laughlin vote
was "respectable" and that can be
said without Dragging about the size
of it, but when it comes to speaking

The Register assumes the role of

White to challenge Mr.. Nicely.
While we do not know Mr.. Whites
mind in this connection, as we said
before, we do believe that he would
not go to the Register for political
advice. VIC suggest to the Register
that the newspapers let the candi-
dates arrange their W speaking

that the time and place be well ad-
Icrtised so the people can go ana

There will of course be no admission
charged to political speakings, but
it will be the same thing. The price

WASTE NO AMMUNITION ON DEAD
DUCKS.

The Huntington Herald Dispatch
wants to know why it is, II the FRO
~gressives want to have a joint de-
bate that they don't challenge the
Democratic candidates. The Hunt
ington newspaper asks why Mr..
Schuck, the Progressive candidate
at-large, does not challenge DR..
Hodges for a joint discussion.
This would seem reasonable. The
only issue is whether or not the Dem
ocratic policies OF congress are light.
If they arc right it would be best for
the country to continue them.
If they are wrong their fallacieS
should be exposed.
The Republican candidates have
charged that they are wrong ana
they propose to prove it to the salts
faction of the majority of the voters
before the November election.
If the Progressive candidates for
congress believe the Democratic TAR

says, IL is their duty to debate tiat

dates and not with the Republican
candidates who agree with theh'

hut absolutely ruinous to the bust
ness of the country.
The truth is. the P~roSressiVeS' or
at least their Se~lf-ordained leaders,
do not want to defeat the Democrats
but they want to elect them as they
did before in this district. 1t was
not Democratic votes that elected Mr..
Nicely. Mr.. Nicely received fewer
votes than John w. Davis but 1t was
the division of the Republican party
that put Mr.. Nicely in congress, an"
if he is returned to congress 1t VIII
not be because his congressional rec
ord is satisfactory to the district h:
is supposed to represent, but because
the opposition may be again divided.
We now have additional proof OF
the intention Of the Progressive Lead
ers. Mr.. Jas. Fl. S~trickling. the Pro
eressive chairman of the Fifth en-
cressional district, has challenged
the Republican candidate, Mr.. Coop
err, to joint debate but is absolutely
silent with reference to the Demo-
cratic candidate, Mr.. Neal.
Mr.. Neal, the Democratic candidate
is the law partner of Mr.. Strickling'
the Progressive chairman, and per
haps Mr.. ~Strickling, Il progressive
! chairman, thinks he can discuss the
Tissues with MIR. Neal, the Democratic
! candidate, to better advantage in the
private recesses of their law office.
Our advice to Mr.. Cooper n all
Icther Republican candidates for cor
eress is to fight the Democrats ana
to shoot straight at the bulls eye OF

The right and center Of the Ger
mar army of invasion in France Is
gradually withdrawing and the left
wing st0utly resisting the advance of
tho allies, according to the best o5-
tninablc information today. The
German crown prince appears to be
holding his own in the vicinity OF
NCrdun.
Reports concerning tho fighting in
Russian Poland and Galicia are con-
:flictinG. 1t appears That the Aus
tIians have met serious reverses, bur
continued struggles establish that
they have not been completely over
whelmed by the Russians.
Still less is definitely known of
operations in East Prussia. Accord
ing to German advices the entire
success OF Germans in East Prussia
which has been admitted in Petr0-
grwad, was followed by further Ger
mar triumphs to the south of Koen-
igSbCrg.
The Scrvians claim continued sue
icrss against the Austriars. the great
