COL. TOM HODGES

The unprejudiced will concede that Col.
Thomas Hodges is one OF the greatest in
tellects of this country. A gentleman
well advanced in age, who has heard Col.
Hodges during this campaign, states that
he has in his time heard VIM. Mckinley,
Ben Harrison, Grover Cleveland, Theo.

Conkling, William Jennings Bryan and
many other noted orators, but he de-
clares Che is Republican, that the
speech which he heard Col. Hodges de-
liver excelled anything he has ever heard
fall from the lips of man. The gentleman
states that he is now going to vote for
Tom Hodges and urge his Republican
brethren to do likewise. This is the
universal verdict OF the unprejudiced who
have heard Col. Hodges during this
campaign.
Not until Tom Hodges got on the
hastings did either friend or foe, politi-
cally, have the least idea that a man has
been living among them that will meas
ure up to the greatest intellects in the
United States. For years he has been
stored away in the educational field,
which is one among the greatest, but it
has not given the rank and file of the
people an opportunity to meet him and
to learn that he is an intellectual giant.
Send Tom Hodges to congress and he will
become national figure, and one which
every true West Virginian will feel Justly
proud OF. We must not forget that the
statesman, poet, painter, and other
geniuses have no home. They come from

JUNIOR BROWN

Modesty has prevented The ARGUS
from appealing TO the people OF Preston
county. He is too well known to the
Prestomans for The ARGUS TO extol bis
virtues and good. heartedncss. He was
born aud reared In Preston county, and
II is safe 70 say that most every person i'm
Preston, at least the natives, are person
ally known by Junior Brown and that he
can call each and every one by the first
name. There are hundreds and hundreds
in this county who can testify that he
has befriended them from time to time.
Ever since the editor of THE ARGUS ar
rived at the age of reason Eve are not
going TO say that on account OF the ladies)
it has always been Junior" IL is one
OF the rarest things for any one to
Mister" him. And il you do, nine
chances to one he will say, please Just
call me plain Junior. like that name"
The friends of Mr.. Brown believe that
Mr.. Bowers is not fair in his representa-
tons OF Junior. He is making speciality
oil telling how many roll-calls he missed
in congress, when Mr.. Bowers KNOWS
that for several months his life was
despaired OF. Mr.. Bowers knows that it
was utterly impossible for him to answer
roll-call in his physical condition. Those
who are readers of the daily press will
recall that the press announced on sew
| eral occasions that Junior Brown got up
| out OF a sick bed and ran the risk of his life
to 20 to congress to vote for important
legislation which would be benefit to
the people.
Another thing which Mr.. Bowers is
doing is going to Democrats and telling
them il he is elected to congress that he
will have them appointed to office. Now,
| every sane person knows that George
Bowers if he were elected to congress
could not possibly get any one an office
under the Wilson administration. Did
not the Wilson administration dismiss
| Bowers from office and give the Office TO
a REPUBLICAN,? Mr.. Bowers could
not have been dismissed on account OF
his politics. When George Bowers tells
| bShVSia1S Shdb ilt Chu yet tiein OlllCe
under the Wilson administration he
| places VERY LOW ESTIMATE UPON
THEIR INTELLIGENCE. Do Repub-
licans who believe in an honorable
campaign feel that they are bound by
| political affiliaton to vote for George NJ.
| Bowers2 View it from a political stand
| point, il Bowers is going TO give the
offices to the Democrats (Which he can
not are the Republicans under any obi
cations to vote for Mr.. Bowers? Is il not
fact that out of the 1866 West Vir-
ginians whom Mr.. Bowers appointed to
office that he did not appoint ONE FROM
PRESTONP Has he any claim on their
suffrage from that standpoint?
The ARGUS calls upon the friends OF
Junior Brown, and his friends belong to
all political parties and creeds, to stand
| by him on November Bird.

But few months ago the editor OF the
Journal came TO the rescue, and nobly,

our county when the power people were
endeavoring TO confiscate some of their
homes in that section through the medium
oil our courts. They have failed. no doubt,
so Tar, owing TO the protest of the Jour
nal and its friends. Now, it seems that
the power people have again got busy
and are using their influence, how, il is
not stated, but it is generally surmised,
To elect certain members OF our legisla-
ture. Can the editor OF the Journal now
support these two candidates for the leg
islature, knowing, as he does, that GER

The power people failed in their last
efforts, through our courts, to place near
Bruceton dam, which, il once estab-
iished, would be a menace to the lives
and property OF those living in that sec
ton OF our county. See to it that the
law is not so amended as to give the
| power people the right to construct such a
dam as they desire to build. The dam
at Bruceton would oc failure, from a
| financial standpoint, to the county. We
would have nothing when completed but
a tremendous reservoir of water, a mem
ace to life and property, while the citizens
OF our sister state of Pennsylvania wouL,i
be supplied with light and power and the
state aud county finances increased
thereby.
II Mr.. McCrum and Mr. Billings are
in sympathy with the power people, and
we have every evidence for believing they
are, against the wishes of many of the
good people OF our county they are sup
posed to represent, why should they ex-
pect the support and votes OF the same?
They may have a corporation of unlim-

them in November next, and unless they
can explain their position today with the

be buried beneath an avalanche OF

Delegates, Taylor George of Barbour

farmers to the legislature. About ninety
eight per cent OF the members of the

you think that it is about time to give
