Every imaginable resort has been
taken in attempts to prejudice the

The Hon. George h. White.


In the person of the Hon. George
E. White, the Republican party offers
a candidate for Congress whose rec
ord appeals with special force to our
citizens. Mr.. White Is a young man,
and an ardent believer in the theory
of protection. He pledges himself to
support progressive measures in har-
mony with progressive policies and
doctrine. Above all, he particularly
pledges himself if elected to Congress
not to submit to the control of any
caucus supporting measures harmful
to his own constituents. The Repub-
licans of this district know what this
means. In two previous sessions Of
Congress they have appealed to DEM
ocratic congressman against features
in the tariff BILL, and they have re-
ceived replies from those congress-
men that they were bound by the de-
crees of their caucus and must act
with their party.
II George E. White Is elected to
Congress, he. pledges himself to place
the interests of the First district
above every other interest, and above
every other claim.
AS a member of the State Senate,
George E. White supported all the
progressive legislation adopted in the
session of 1918.
He voted and worked for the public
utilities commission.
He voted and worked for the work
mems compensation act.
He voted and worked for the by
dro-electric law.
He voted and worked for general
primary election law.
He voted and worked for good
road laws.
He voted and worked for the blue
sky law.
If elected to the Congress of the
United States. he pledges himself to
support and vote for the following:
The creation of tariff commits
! sion.
A minimum wage law.
The river Improvements bill.
A federal trade commission.
Punishment of law-violating corpo-
rations.
National workmen's compensation
law.

Some WINS.

Why are the coal miners in this
section not busy like they used TO
be? Because industries in other states
which burn coal have been thrown
into idleness by Democratic national
policies.
Why is the volume Of coal that
used to be shipped from this section
so greatly reduced? Because the in
dustries OF the nation have no use
for coal when they are not running.
Why do the railroads not haul as
much coal as they used to haul? Be-
cause there is not as much demand
for coal.
Why is there less demand for coal
than there used to be? Because few
er Industries are running.
Why are so many industries in this
country idle and why are others
working on half time or less? In
brief, the answer is: The Democratic
party Is in power at Washington, and
hard times is the result.

own minds, that they are not men
with opinions and convictions, that
they are not men Of courage, that
they are not men of good citizenship,
that they are not men of success in
their respective lines of business,
that they are not men of fitness for
public Office, that they are not men
OF representative citizenship. But, the
people generally know better.
Merely casual examination of the
ticket the Republican party has in the
field is enough to convince every yot-
er that the Democratic press can not
victimize the people with its malic-
iously false utterances against the
Republican candidates, and the aver
age voter knows that the Democratic
press ranting against those candi-
dates is a pack OF lies, disgrace TO
the newspaper profession and an out
rage upon Harrison countys inteiii-
gence.
The people of this splendid county
believe in fair play, they believe In
honesty of purpose and truthfuiness
of expression. They revolt at such
lying methods as have been employed
against the Republican ticket. They
do not believe that men nominated
for public Office should become tho
target OF vipers and character assas-
sins. They are immune to fake ac-
cusations, fabrications made to mis-
lead, lies told to prejudice them.
The Democratic press itself the last
few days has had occasion to be i'm
pressed with the general revulsion
caused by its venomous falsehoods
about the Republican candidates and
its assassin-like attacks upon their
characters and fitness for public Of
flee as shown by the published fact
that a number of staunch Democrats
have come openly to the defense OF
Republican candidates. 1t is also sig
nificant that the defense made by
these Democrats is such an emphatic
exposure of the unjustness OF the
Democratic press course in the cam,
paign and such a strong denunciation
Of Democratic press falsehoods that
that press broke its promise to pub
lish what those Democrats said.
Those Democrats in an open state
ment signed by them set forth the
truth but that truth was in favor OF a
Republican candidate and the Demo-
cratic press declined to publish 1t,
which fact shows that It wanted its
lies to stand. The refusal to publish
the same shows that It is falsehood
and not truth that Spress desires to
prevail in this campaign.
Thus, the Democratic press seeks
to reach voters through the avenue
OF falsehood. It wants to make the
Republican candidates the victims OF
misrepresentation. 1t hopes-to preju-
dice voters against the Republican
candidates in that way. Its vicious
methods have been exposed even by
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1914-11-02

the Democrats have levied a war tax
on the people and the Republicans
have opposed IT. In short, the differ
ence is the Republicans want neither
war nor war taxes, while the Demo-
Gratis do not want war but do want
war taxes. The people would be bet
ter off with neither war nor war
taxes.
Is the man who wants no war but
who makes you pay war tax the
man you want In Congress, or is the
man who wants no war and who
would not make you pay war tax
the man you want In Congress? The
Democratic candidates for Congress
force you to pay a war tax. The Re-
publican candidates for Congress
say It is wrong to compel you to pay
a war tax. Choose between them.
II you want to pay more taxes you
will vote for the Democratic candi-
dates; II you want to avoid paying
more taxes you will vote for the Re-
publican candidates.

No sBueaboor About II.

The Exponent says the war tax is
a bugaboo.
Voters generally all over the coun-
try and even right at home here In
Harrison county will soon learn that
tits no bugaboo but an ugly and cost
ly reality, a heavy toll they must pay
for Democratic folly.
Voters will realize that it is no
bugaboo, when they are called upon
to paste war tax stamps on the
promissory notes they will have 10
make out as result of the "pros-
perity" the Democrats have been Civ
ing US. They will realize it when
they pay their telegraph and tele-
phone bills at the end Of the month.
They will realize 1t when they have
to plaster stamps on the bundles they
send by freight or express. They will
realize 1t when theys have to paste
stamps, not in denominations OF cents
but in dollars, on all deeds or other
realty transfers. 1t will come forcibly
to mind when they have to pay for
war" tax stamps on their fire or life
insurance policies, or on indemnify
ing bonds of any kind. When they
go into drug stores to buy tooth
washes. perfumery, cosmetics, hair
dyes, vaseline and so forth the many
war" tax stamps they will find
pasted upon the containers will hard
ly appeal to them as a mere psyche
logical impression. There will be
nothing visionary about the stamps
farmers and others will have to pay
the merchandise broker for when he
sells their products.
When the voter has to have any
sort of legal certificate made out, the
war, tax stamps he. will have to
paste on them will be real stamps,
not imaginary. When the voter tray-
elS in a sleeping car or parlor car
he will find that war" tax will
have to be paid on his tickets. II he
uses tobacco he, will find that his
nickle or dime does not buy nearly 60
much Scrap OF plug cut, or SO many
cigars, or stogies, or cigarets as they
did before the era Of Democratic ex-
travagance began.
II, perchance, the voter should be
connected with any corporation or
hold any stocks, bonds, or notes Of 9
corporation, he will find that the nu-
merous war" tax stamps required for
their various certificates. memoranda

Legislature is important.

Harrison county voters should not
overlook the great Importance of the
political complexion of the legislature
of this state to be elected tomorrow.
The Democrats had the lower
branch of the Legislature in 1911
and that branch then voted to do
away with wholesome laws previous
Republican legislatures had enacted,
such as to abolish the Office of the state
tax commissioner and make such
radical changes in the tax laws OF
our state as would be in the interests
of the classes and against the masses.
The Democratic party as all know has
ever opposed Just and equitable
state tax system and IL that party is
to be judged by Its past the masses
would carry the burden of taxation
should the Democratic party be re-
turned to power in this state.
The last Democratic state admins
tration ran riot with the peoples
money. 1t used nearly half mil
lion dollars more than it was author
lied to do by law and left that
amount of debts to Republican adj
lministrations to provide for. A Dem
,ocratic legislature next winter might
be forerunner to the Inauguration
Of another period of profligacy which
characterized the MacCorkle admin
iistration, a menace to the welfare OF
the state every voter should guard
against.
There are many wholesome laws
on the statute books OF this state now
which the Democrats in past legisla-
lures opposed with all their might
and against which Democratic plat
forms always pledged Democratic
nominees. These laws are at stake.
II they are I'd be retained on the
statute books, their friends must be
elected and not their enemies.
The state platform adopted at the
Huntington convention In 1912 upon
which DR.. H. d. Hatfield was elected
governor and which, is regarded the
most progressive platform ever
adopted in this state by any political
party contains planks which the last
Legislature was not able to enact be-
cause of the fact that the Democrats
had the State Senate tied up. II is
The declared Intention to enact those
planks into law the coming winter,

branches of the legislature. This
fact should be borne in mind tomor-

White slave Secrecy.

On June 20. 1913, the United
States attorney for the northern dis
trict Of California resigned because
Attorney General McReynolds. over
his protest, had postponed the white
slave cases Of Maury Diggs and Drew
Caminetti, the son OF high of1icial
OF the Wilson administration. The
cases were a national scandal. An
outraged public demanded that these
men of high political influence should
be punished for their heinous crime.
the same as men OF low degree.
United States District Attorney Nc
Nab, at San Francisco, openly charged
that political influence had been ex-
Ierted at Washington to prevent the
trial of these cases. Here was q SER
ious charge by government official
and the people demanded to know the
truth.
A resolution was introduced In the
House OF Representatives., calling up
on the attorney general to transmit to
the House all papers on file in his Of
flee, or referred to him by the presi-
dent, relating to these cases. The
CSuAoSAatiS meJVkLty VI tuS CoHluu1t-
tee on judiciary. to which the resolu-
ton went, yaliantly strove to shut OF
all debate on the resolution BY imme-
diately laying 1t on the table. They
didn't want the light turned on the
acts of these high government off,
Gals.
BY persistent effort and parliament
tary strategy the Republicans finally
forced some discussion of the case.
Representative Kahn, OF California,
read from one Of the papers which the
resolution called for. a memorandum
showing that a telegram ordering the
United States attorney to proceed no
further in the prosecution of these
two white-slavers had been sent from
the attorney generals hotel, on the
night of May 16. The records re-
vealed that this memorandum was not
inserted in the official files of the de-
partment of justice until Eve days
later. Repeated efforts were made
to find out the names of the men who
called at the attorney generals hotel
that night. by reason Of the extraordi-
nary fact that the order was not sent
from the attorney generals Office in
the light Of day but from his hotel i'll
the dark OF night. But one INFER
ence can be shown: some high up"
in the administration interfered in
the case. The information called for
is still locked in the dark and secret
vaults of this administration. Is
Woodrow Wilson square with the
people when he says In his New
Freedom" 81 cannot Imagine pub
lie man with conscience having Sc
cret that he would keep from the peo-
pie about their own affairs" Is this
"pitiless publicity" or sinister secre-
tiveness"?

Upholtling Hands.


So much has been said about up
holding the hands Of the president in
time of war in Europe that it GER
tainly is not amiss to call attention
to the fact that not single Repub-
lican senator or representative has
shown the slightest sign of not doing
the patriotic duty Of observing neu-
trality. 1t is a vile SANDER against
every Republican in this country to
declare that it is necessary to keep
Congress Democratic to maintain
neutrality. West Virginia now has
four Republican members OF the
House OF Representatives and one
Republican United States senator.
NJ single one of them has whim-
pered against neutrality. There
never was a more patriotic party
than the Republican party and none
is more patriotic now. The very
foundation of the party consists OF
patriotism and human liberty and 1t
has never been guilty of turning its
back on its country 1t never at
