The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1916-11-05

Having despaired OF an issue they are
alling the country with alarms. They
are not only filling the country with
alarms but they are attempting CO.
ercIon OF their laborers. They imagine
that these men are not their own mas
tiers and dare not vote as they think
but at last I thank God. the. American
laborer Is awake. He At last judges
his friends by what they do and not
by what they say. He knows that
he has found friends. because he has
found men who Will do the things
that he has demanded should be done
N justice and equity to him.
LET them I'LL the air with alarms.
The alarms are their own. not ours.
They used to control the credit OF
the country: now they control moth
ing but the betting. So that think
IS we look back upon this campaign
for We are now looking back upon Il
and We hear now nothing but cries OF
distress as we look back upon five
can see 4 very hcartening and en-
couraging thing.
I'VE can see the American people
at last asserting themselves by re
jccting the old leadership under
which they were so long led astray
and turning 70 do things for them
selves The difference between the
Republican patty and the Democratic
party IS this: The Republican party
offers them masters: we offer them
comrades and leaders. The Repub!!-
can party offers TO take care OF them;
we offer 70 go into the fight shoulder
TO shoulder with them and get the
rights which no man has night TO
give them. The ranks are formed.
The discipline Is self discipline. No
man needs to guide them in their Yot-
Ing. They know what the Issues are
and In their minds eye they see those
coterles that used to govern the az
fairs OF this country and control the
treasury OF the United states sitting
in secret conference trying to deter
mine how, IN the last DAYS OF the cam
paigu when no man Will have an OPP
portun!ty to answer them. hey may
repeat the deception by which they
have been controlling the votes of
American citizens.
1T was the duty OF those who rep
resented the Republican party, as 1t
was our duty. IN this campaign to ex-
pound the real heart OF the social nee ,
essities and the political exiGencies OF
America. Have they done that? Have
they not merely said that though the
right things had been done no doubt,
they had been done by the wrong poo
ple7 What difference does It make
who did them wrong. whether they
were good looking men or ugly men.
whether they were wise men or un-
wise, whether they were Schoolmas-
tiers or sages? II they were done
and were the right things to do.
then every man ought to stand by
them and praise them. It is not a |
question Of personal qualification. 1t
is a question OF what the person.
whether qualified or unqualified In
tends to do that tells in an exigency
like this, for It is an exigency.
''It Is a crisis because some OF the
fundamental things Of the life Of the
world have to be determined. That
Is one reason why we have been say
ing SO nuch-by we I mean every .
body who has been destroying this
campaign, about the apparent desire I
Of some people to have our public
policy determined by European reas-
ons and not by American reasons We
have seen that unless we could unite
and direct and purify the forces OF
this country. We could not do what It
was necessary to do for the world
