MR.. LOWE HAVING HIS FUN.

The Times says Mr.. Lowe, who is a
very nice gentleman, and man who
has the personal friendship OF the Re
publican candidate for the senate, had
a great deal of fun reading circular
of the Republican candidate to Graf
ton audience. t
This was the circular answering the
questions of the State Federation of
Labor. We are, reliably informed that
after this circular was published by
Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Lowe discovered that
the labor men were entitled to have an
answer to these questions, and as late
as last Saturday night he prepared his
ANSWERS. Would it not be amusing to
read these answers to Grafton or any
other audience? Perhaps the voters
will never be permitted to see what
Mr.. Lowe had to say until they have
voted. That is one difference in the
two methods. Mr.. Davis let's the PEG.
pile know where he stands. His oppo-
nent is beginning to let the people
knowwliereA he stands on a few things
at the eleventh hour. We hope. Mr..
Lowe enjoyed the fun, and no doubt
the laboring men were glad to get the
information that he read to them. So
everybody seems to be pleased with
Mr.. Loves Grafton speech. We did
not hear it, but know it was a good
one.

The CARPET RAeeERs.

The carpet baggers made Fairmont
a city. Carpet baggers are running the
banks, the stores, the mills, the rait-
road trains and working in the facto-
rtes. What do you think of the cam
paign of abuse the Times is heaping
upon you If you happen to have been
born in some other county of West
Virginia than Marion or in some other
of the states. We hold that good peo-
pie can come from other states. The
Times supported, and is now defend
ing, three OF the Democratic commits
sfoners who are so-called carpet bag
gers, all three of them having been
born outside of West Virginia. That
is no bar to holding office or having
political opinions. The law only re-
qufres that nonresident live in the
state one year to become legal vot-
er, and that length of citizenship
makes him eligible to hold office.

The Progressives say the Davis
platform ~ IL Progressive platform.
the Tfmessg says most everybody is for
most everything in It. 1t looks as If
they are about to make it unanimous.
The Socialists too, are getting a good
deaIsof satisfac ion out Of 1t. They are
yery much in favor OF giving all politi-
cal partie representation on election
boards. BY the way, where does Mr..
Lowe stand on that platfrom pledge

goes the senate Will Shaver, Muir

SAID NoTHlNe,oF.rHE KIND.

The West Virginian having finally
stated that the district road bonds
were disposed of at their face value,
though not sold at par, the'controversy
between the Times and it on that sub.
ject, ends right here.-The Fairmont
Times.
No it is not ended yet We do not
want to quit yet. The West Virginian
has made no such statement nor any
such admission. II there is anything
that can be twisted into this meaning
appearing in print we would like to see
it. II any such statement has appear.
ed in the West Virginian we know not
where It is, and it is typographical
error If any such statement is made,
and we do not believe that it can be
produced. How could bonds be sold
at face value and sold below par at tho
same time? The Times conyicts itself
by it's own statement. Has the Times
deliberately misrepresented the West
Virgfnian in order to deceive such of
its readers as do not read the West
Virginian, into believing that 1t has
found one point in all the issues that
the West Virginian has admitted mis-:
representation? No, the Times will
have to do better than this. We sup
pose it will yet say we are opposed to
1.-THE county salary law. We again defy
the Times to prove to the contrary that
these road bonds were sold below par,
yes, below their face value, if you
please, and that the law plainly says
that such bonds shall not be disposed
of below par

TIE COLONEL AND MIR. BOWERS

Colonel Roosevelt certainly begged
the question when he came into the
Second Congressional district to help
the Democratic cause. In this dis
trict George M. Bowers is the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress, as fine
q type as the district has ever had
an opportunity to vote for. He served
seven years as Commissioner Of Fish
cries under the Colonel when he was
president Of the United States, that
office being one Of the important Of
fees of the government, and during
ali this period the Colonel was en-
thusiastic in praise Of his splendid
co-worker., 1t might be added, also,
that the Colonel was glad to avail
himself Of the powerful influence OF
Mr.. Bowers in the state when he was
using the Republican party to fur
Their his political ambitions.
What has Mr.. Bowers done to for
felt the good will of Colonel Roose-
welt? Is he less capable or efficient
now than when he was ably serving
| the government y under President
Roosevelt? Has any stigmatism at
tached to Mr.. Bowers as citizen
which would influence the Colonel
or any one, else to have a change of
heart? No. The only difference be-
tween Mr.. Bowers now and then is
that Mr.. Bowers was sterling Re
publican then and is now, while the
Colonel was a sterling Republican
then and is anything now to. defeat
the great party which honored him
SO signally. He is Democrat in
Pennsylvania, Progressive in West
Virginia, and Republican in places
where he best serves his ambition
by being SO.
It will not do to say that Mr..
Bowers has taken backward step
in matters of governmental policy.
The my policies" Of the Colonel,
which two. years age, embraced every
thing from our foreign relations to
pensions for bootblacks have now
'ahrunk until they are now narrowed

specting workmen's Compensation
and child labor laws. AS q member
Of the Knights OF Labor Mr.. Bowers
started to work for these things
years ago; long before the Colonel

Nor IM lHls eLArEoRM.

The Times says Mr.. Lowe is pledged
by his party platform to vote for a
county salaries law. Mr.. Lowe says
in the Times that he is running on the
Parkersburg platform, and quotes the
important planks of that platform, but
not one word does he say about county
salaries law. Will he tell the readers
of the Times that he will work to abol-
ish the robber fee system that is talk
ing over $4,000 from the people of
Marion county for three Offices if'he is
elected? Show us the platform that
promises that he will do this.

THE.'lIp,LE MEN AN ISSUE.

Do not lose sight Of the fact that
while Mr., Nicely was laboring to pro.
cure mail box for the B. & o. stations
he was also voting for tariff law to
puts35O glassworkers of Fairmont to
walking the streets in idleness and puts
ting, great numbers of B. & Q. en-
ployes out OF their jobs. That he was
voting to cut down the business OF the
merchants and other trades people of
Tairmont. That he was voting to close
the mines and the factories. Every
one of these hundreds of idle men is
an issue in this campaign.

and two singles. Perdue went the
route for Boston.
Huggins used IS men to beat
Brooklyn in 16 innings. Magee, Dali

Robinson and Rucker were pounded.
CoValeskie held Boston to two

Eddie Collins got four hits and
Barry three. Wyckoff held the Maps
to as many hits as Collins poled.
ST. Louis batted Fisher and Cole

least one. Maisel got a double and
two singles off Baumgardner.
Earl Moore held the SIoufeds to

but Buffalo got the necessary run.
StoyalI got homer and Kruger q
