MUZZLING VOTERS

In order that no taxpayer of West
Virginia might ask candidates for the
Legislature whether they favor a re-
duction in taxes, and the doing away
with a great army OF needless and
useless job-holders, the Hatfieldized
Legislature of 1915 enacted the follow
ing law, found in clause "h" of chap
ter q, page 25S. Acts 1915, which
speaks for itself, and this law says:
ANY person, or persons, firm, cor
poration. or organization of persons
or the individual members thereof,
who. by themselves, their officers or
agents, shall solicit, demand or re-
quire of any candidate at or before
any primary or final election a prom
Use or pledge, directly or indirectly, to
vote for or against any particular can
didate or measure, shall be guilty Of a
misedemeanor and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined not to exceed
five hundred dollars. Any candidate
from whom has been exacted any such
promise or pledge. shall be disquali-
Ned from holding the Office to which
he may have been elected"

SETS 2so. 900 CHI LoaeN FREE

The signing OF the Federal Child Labor
bill by President Wilson marks the end
OF long hard fight for the protection Of
the working children of the country from
the consequences OF too early toll.
The house passed the measure in the
first half OF President Wilson'S first term.
but it reached the senate too late in the
session for it to be enacted into law.
This session it again passed the house.
and when there WAS shown some dispo-
sition to put the bill over until the De-
cember session the President went him
self to the capitol to urge its passage be.
fore congress adjourned. 1t passed the
senate by vote of 81 to II.
The bill prohibits the shipment in in
terstate commerce of the products of any
mine or quarry where children under
sixteen years are employed, or of any
factory or cannery where children under
fourteen are employed, or children under
sixteen are allowed to work at night. or
more than eight hours day. About a
quarter OF a million children are affected
by the new statute, according to the fig
ures OF 1910, who in that year were
found at work in mines and factories. 1t
Is easy to see that an army of children
there will be, as the years ga by, freed
from the curse OF child labor.
1t is really a second emancipation proc
lamation that President Wilson put his
hand and seal to when he signed the
Heating Child Labor bill. From the
point OF view OF human welfare, it is per.
haps the most important act OF his adj.
ministration.

Nomination speeches for the loca-

West Virginia enjoys the distinc-
ton. IL II may be so designated. of be-
ing one Of the four states I'm the un-

which this state is one. which divert
money received from this source into
other than its legitimate channel.
The Democrats pledge themselves in
their platform to change the law so
that the money derived from automo-
bile licenses in West Virginia may be
used on the roads OF the county from
which the license is paid. You APP
prove this? Then why not vote for IL
by voting the Democratic ticket?-

NO FREE PAPERS

In an endeavor to conserve the supply
OF news print paper and prevent a still
further advance in the cost of stock, pub
fishers of the leading newspapers through
out the country have entered into an
agreement to abolish their free lists and
curtail exchanges to the minimum. the
object being to SAVE paper. THE Argus
has joined in this movement and will put
this policy in force at once. All affected
thereby should realize that it is not per-
sonally directed toward them, but the
threatened exhaustion of the supply of
paper leaves no alternative. The change
is made at this time 80 that anyone de-
string TO subscribe may do so at the old
rate

REPUBLICANS FOR cosMwELL

The Hon. John j. Cornwell, wi o has
been speaking in the southern part OF the
state for the past ten days, has been
greeted by large and enthusiastic audi.
ences. His greeting by the anti-machine
Republicans, those who followed the Abe
Lilly flag to victory only to be robbed OF
the victory by the machine, is just as
hearty and enthusiastic as that of the
Democrats. Everywhere Mr.. Cornwell
goes he is assured by the anti.machine
Republicans that they are going to sup
port him. They are frank to say that
they believe that the election of the
Democratic state ticket is the only way
they can get rid OF Hatfieldism. For the
past sixteen years they have been trying
to free themselves of ring rule and ma
chine politics in their party, but each
succeeding year they find the machine
getting holder in it's robbery. AS an
evidence OF this they point to 1904 when
the nomination was stolen from Charles
+. Teter. Again in 1908 it was stolen
from Arnold @. Scherr. In 1912 they
supported DR.. III. ID. Hatfield on the
sacred pledge that he was the anti
machine candidate and il elected he
would give them a thorough house
cleaning by turning the "old faces' out
and replacing them by new ones. But he
shameiully violated his pre- election prom
Use and retained all the "old faces" and
whenever they created new offices they
were filled by the worst type of the old
standpat element OF the party. New
offices have been created without warrant
OF law or necessity. They say they have
more respect for Judge Ira L. Robinson
than any candidate the machine has
forced upon them for the past twenty
years, because Robinson has come out
openly and manfully and told them that
II he is elected governor there will be NO
changes made in the state house machine
family as long as he is governor. Under
the circumstances those voting for Robin
son will do 30 with the full knowledge
that Robinson is the machine candidate
and the machine family will be fully pro-
vided for four years under Gov. Robinson.
Therefore the retention of the "old faces
by Robinson will be no violation of
pledges or promises like those made by
Glasscock and Hatfield, and the greatest
OF all is Hatfeldism!

The Maine Election


Neither Democrats nor Republicans
have much to brag about in the re-
| suits OF the Maine election.
II was inevitable that Maine would
go Republican. What was in question
was the size OF the majority. and tho
Republican majority is anything but
decisive.
III Maine is barometer OF the ma
tional election. the national election
Is still on the knees OF the gods.
In 1912 the combined Taft Roose-
welt vote exceeded the Wilson vote by
z3,s25. although Mr.. Wilson carried
the state by a scanty plurality OF g.
$40. as result OF the Republican split.
In 1914 the Democratic candidate for
governor had a plurality of 3.117 over
his Republican rival. although the Re-
publican-Progressive vote exceeded
the Democratic vote by 15.O4S.
Disregarding the former heavy Re-
| publican majorities i'm Maine. IL Is
plain that the Democrats have obtain
ed a percentage OF the Progressive
vote which. IL they can hold II, is large
enough to turn the scale in the ma
tional election. They ought to be able
TO hold 1t. for in no other state was
the Progressive party more largely
the product OF Mr.. Roosevelt's person
al popularity.
| III the Democrats gained even 20
per cent OF the Progressive vote in
Maine. Notwithstanding the appeals OF
both Mr.. Hughes and Mr. Roosevelt.
: they ought to gain a far larger per-
centage in the middle western states
where the Progressive party was born
of principles and not of personal pop
ularity.
The chief national significance OF
the Maine election lay in it's revelation
A, OF the new alignment of the Progress
sive vote. II that vote returned SOL
| idly to the Republican party, the Dem
ocratic outlook was necessarily dub
ious. III the Democrats gained a rea-
| 'N"p'O ohoic vi IL anu Helu uOWn the
Republican majorities. they could nat
urally look for still greater results
In the middle west. In this expecta-
ton they have not been disappoint-
ed.
The Republican majorities in Maine
are much smaller than the Republican
managers claimed At tha Same tin,a
they are larger than the Democratic
managers conceded. In this respect
they set at variance the calculations
of both parties
The Republican campaign in Maine
had the advantage, or the disadvan-
tage. of Mr.. Hughes personal atten-
ton. 1t is evident that so far as the
results are concerned he might better
have stayed away. To have identified
himself with a decisive Republican
victory would have been worth while
but to have identified himself with the
Republican majorities returned yester.
day is demonstration OF political
weakness.
AS evidence OF Mr.. Hughes peerless
leadership. the Republican candidates
for United States Senator have run
far behind the Republican candidate
for governor, whom Mr.. Hughes re-
fused to mention i'm any of his cam
paign speeches.-New York World.
