Petty Whimperinp.

Inc Democratic peewee pipers harp
lot about the telephone bills the gov
ernor pays, but they don't dare attack
the legislation the present Republican
administration Of this state and the Re-
publican legislature enacted. for they
would make a pretty mess of the cam
paign in short order il they got out on
the stump and knocked" this legisla-
ton and other acts of Republican state
control. Lest Republicans are inclined
TO forget, we enumerate only the fol-
lowing, which are enough TO shed
credit on any state, and all given TO
West Virginia by Republicans:
Abolition of the pernicious fee sys-
stem in state offices. which has saved
the state $4,000; abolition Of all fees
in all county offices, saving the coun-
ties Of the state more than quarter of
million dollars a year; provided for
county repositories, which now nav
interest on all county funds, while be-
fore this law was passed the interest
went into the pockets OF the sheriff;
reformed the tax laws and put on the
tax rolls almost 100000, 900 of cor
porate property which had before
eluded taxation entirely; passed the
uniform accounting law, SO that &C.
counts in all counties are now on a
uniform system; abolished a large
number OF cumbersome boards and

MIR. Wilson's contention that he
alone has kept this country out Of war
and that unless he is reelected the
nation will he plunged into war has
raised an interesting question as to
how. without Mr.. Wilson. the little
neutral nations Of Europe have been
kept out Of war There is little Swift
erland, surrounded by the belligerents.
Holland and Denmark in an almost
similar position. Sweden and Norway
in close proximity, and Spain adjoin-
ing France and with naval engage
ments taking place right on its shores.
Who. or what, kept them out Of war !?
How did they survive and keep the
peace without Woodrow Wilson? or
course it might be suggested that they
have been kept out of war by the fact
that the helligerents had their hands
full and no one OF them wanted to in
crease the number Of its enemies. But
that argument would apply equally to
the United States and would support
the contention OF Senator Root, that
never in the history Of the United
States has it been easier to keep out
OF war than during the European con-
flict and that it is wicked argument
because it robs Mr.. Wilson Of his only
claim to reelection.

Some Things Tint Hughes VIII Do.

some Things That Hughes VIII DO.
Some OF the things that Mr. Hughes
will do when he becomes president are
these:
He will appoint a man as secretary
OF state who will back up what the
president says and not tell the Aus
TRAN government that we are blufing.
Mr.. Hughes will not reward traitors
to the nation with high offices He
will not and would not sign sundry
civil bill that makes q law for one
class and cxempts another class from
its operation. Mr.. Hughes will not
attempt to dictate who shall he the
head Of Mexico; nor will he attempt
to dictate who Shall run for office In
that or other nations.
Mr.. Hughes will never send the
United States fleet into foreign port
and demand salute for the flag and
then order the fleet to come home
without that salute; and he wouldn't
call that bloody campaign peace"
Mr.. Hughes will never be too proud
to fight for the honor of the nation
or the protection Of American lives.
Mr.. Hughes will not appoint two
Socialists into his cabinet. nor will be
endorse other Socialists for Office even
II they should succeed in winning a
nomination from his party
MIR. Hughes will not surrender the
principle of arbitration to force from
any labor leaders; he will never stand
for hOld-up by any body OF men,
either capitalists or workers.

manufacturers and other interests
affected. as we'll as the linseed oil
crushers, have during the last few
years annually raised a fund of
thousands of dollars to educate and
to encourage our farmers to make a
success of this crop"
Did the Wilsonian economists help
along this enterprise? No, they
sand-bagged it. Then they turned
right around and threw brick at
the linseed oil producers in the shape
of thirty-three per cent reduction
on their commodity, and importa-
lions of llnseed oil jumped sixty per
cent during the first ten months OPP
Grafton OF the Democratic tariff law,
compared with the similar period I'M
der the Republican rate. That was
their idea OF America first" Give
us a Republican House and Senate,
and a Republican administration and
protective rates on both flaxseed
and linseed oil will be restored.

nnnhlc Dealing Hr,,ocricins.

II will be recalled that MIR. Wilson
said that he recommended the con-
cession to the eight-hour day-"that
is the substitution of an eight-hour
day for the present ten-hour day"
And he further said he believed this
to be right and that society had en-
dorsed it. etc. Now, Mr.. Wilson
knew that he was not giving to the
railroad workers an eight-hour day.
The Brotherhood leaders never de-
manded an eight-hour day, and Mr..
Wilson knew this or he is a monu-
mental ignoramus. He knew what
everyone now knows, that the whole
scheme was simply and solely an in
crease of twenty-five per cent in
wages for the hest paid railroad en-
ployes in the world. And Mr. Wilson
not only did absolutely nothing for
the other 100000 railroad en-
ployes who labor ten hours n day for
one-halfthe wares Of the brotherhood
men. but he even refused to see their
representatives who went to Wash
ington for the express purpose Of
seeing the president. and who are
now demanding that some consider
alton be shown to them; and poor
old Wilson dare not act either for or
against these 100000 men. Worst
OF all is the fact that a president
continues to try to deceive the Ameri-
can people into the belief that he was
allowing this hold-up for an eight
day which he knew was a fraud, and
knows now that he is deceiving the
| people. Woodrow Wilson sold the

The publication by James n. Mar.
cum. political changcling and chronic
Office seeker, of a collection OF letters
revealing conspiracy to place Judge
Robinson in n false light before the
people, has failed utterly TO create the
sensation expected of ii. but il has
served purpose not intended by the
cohSpirators and one which Republi-
cans viii turn to good account.
The Marcum letters bring into tho
open set Of men who have been stab
bling the Republican party in the back
Tor years. and who. though claiming TO
be Republicans. and ri times active in
support Of Republican candidates. have
never been Republicans in principle
but have sought merely to use the par
ty to further the aims of interests 10
which they are welded.
Nickel, Vinson and Houston thc
sponsors for this attack upon Judge
Robinson are now unmasked.-a do
Nelopment which ought materially to
simplify the situation. The Marcum
letters recall another incident OF tho
campaign; that is. a meeting in New
YORK city between C. w. Watson.
Glen Shaver. chairman OF the Demo-
cratic state committee: George /. Neal.
Taylor Vinson, r H. Houston and w.
9. Nickel, at which time Vinson, Nc
kell and Houston entered into an
agreement with Neal, Watson and
Shaver to deliver 10000 Republican
votes to John j. Cornwell. the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor.
with these facts in mind. nobody
need be deceived. Taylor Vinson has
Tor twelve years sought to use the Re
publican party 10 further the selfish
ends OF interests he represents. He has
tried to dictate the nomination Of all
republican candidates for governor
from the day he entered the Repub-
llcan party. back about 1896. He has
tailed TO do this on practically every
occasion. and has sought thereupon to
elect Il Democratic governor more in
sympathy with his plans.
Politics, political principles, arc as
naught TO him. He engages in poli-
tlcs not as a means OF helping the peo-
pie. but as a means Of standing he
tween the people and their best in
terests. He does not believe that the
masses have any rights. and with n
stern Imperialism stands for corpor-
ate domination
As for the others, in this conspiracy
TO deliver the Republican marty IN
Democracy, Houston is not even cit
zen Of West Virginia and McKell
like Ninson, his long time associate
is blind to all interests save his own
Failing to nominate a Republican
candidate Of their own liking.
these men are openly trying to carry
out a compact with the Democratic
nominee. who. manifestly. must repre-
sent what they desire and what they
WI demand Of the next governor OF
West Virginia.
Under such circumstances can there
be any doubt as to Republican duty?
Does not this situation menace not
only the integrity Of the Republican
party, but the srIcty OF the peoples
rights in West virginia.
