Tired of Rackmoods Stnif.

The city campaign closes today. The
election will be held tomorrow, when
1t will be decided by the voters Of the
city who will serve the city the next
year as its officers.
1t is notable the Telegram has not
pursued a course similar to that the
Exponent has engaged In, although
the former had wide field in which to
do 80. After the election the Demo-
cratic candidates in the bitterness of
defeat can not justly complain that the
Telegram prejudiced the voters against
them. They are citizens OF Clarksburg
and they will continue to live here,
and the Telegram sees no good reason
why 1t should make enemies of them.
The Exponent has restorted to the
same old course of assailing officers
who have done their duty faithfully.
honestly and well, and its files prior
to the opening Of the campaign contain
assertions bearing out the fact that
official duty has been well done by
these men. That newspaper seems not
to sound the sentiment OF the times.
part OF which is not to tolerate attack
on men who do public duty in con-
scientious and efficient way. On the
contrary, the Exponent seems to think
1t can mold sentiment on false basis.
and hence its coures OF misrepresenta-
ton and attempted ridicule. The peo-
pie OF Clarksburg are in no humor for
that cheap backwoods stuff and they
will show the Exponent that fact to-
morrow

The sheritf's squad Saturday night
passed three policemen on its way
to make that famous raid" in the
alley but never mentioned its mission
to them. It was one time the county
officers did not want the city officers
to aid them. There was q reason.
namely. the squad was out on a po-
lltical mission. that OF doing some
thing to prejudice the voting public
against the Republican city ticket.
The squad showed about as much
political acumen as was shown when
a house was raided recently, in which
raid the raiders found the house all
lighted on account OF the illness OF o
woman therein. but notwithstand ing
the fact that the lights were SO bril-
liant that every thing and every per-
son therein were plainly visible. one
raider resorted to his fashlight-just
habit, you know.

sentatiyes of the citizenship of Clarks-
burg. Some OF them havo had exper-
ience In municipal affairs in which
they have all made good. while others
are offered to the people for the first
time. but not without eminent quail
locations to discharge the duties of tho
respective offices 10 which they have
been nominated at primary election,
when the voice Of the people was heard
and not that Of any clique or combina-
ton. These candidates are so well
and favorably known to the voters
that the Telegram deems 1t unneces-
sary to give detailed account OF the
personnel Of the ticket.
The people OF Clarksburg have op-
portunity tomorrow to retain good
and orderly government in their city
another year but this can only be done
by manifesting the desire to have such
government the next twelve months
by going to the polls and voting for
the same. 1t is important that all vot-
ers cast their ballots tomorrow on this
question. The Telegram urges every
voter to do this. 1t is the duty Of every
voter to participate in the affairs Of
the city. 1t is the duty Of every voter
to say who shall be the municipal
officers next year. No voter should
overlook tina. duty and no voter will
regret performing his proper duty
when he votes for Mayor Gordon and
his associates on the Republican
ticket.

Same Old Pledges.

By its attack on Chief of Police
Harry L. Brooks, wholly unwarrant-
ed and ridiculously silly, the Expon-
ent. the mouthpiece OF the Demo-
cratic city candidates, pledges Ken
meth N. Sappington. the Democratic
nominee for chief of police. as tool
for A. Judson Findley, prosecuting
attorney; Ross F. Stout, sheriff; w.
Guy Tetrick and a few others Of that
fix.
1t is unfortunate for sappington,
and he admits it. or at least did last
year just after election when he and
his friends loudly asserted that a
similar pledge lost him at least two
hundred votes. The candidate can
be judged fairly by what is back OF
his candidacy. Sappington can be
judged fairly by this pledge. II tho
people of the city want the men men
toned herein to run the town all
they have TO do. according to the EN-
ponent. Is to elect Sappington chief
of police.

Knows Many Interests.

I. Tho Grafton Daily Sentinel, which
- q warm supporter Of William B.
Hite for United States senator. points
out that Mr.. Hite probably knows in
timatcly the needs Of more Of the in
dustries and occupations Of the people
OF West Virginia than any other man
that has ever aspired to the senator
ship. The Sentinel declares, and truly,
that Mr.. Hite knows tho needs OF the
farmer. because he Is a farmer, and
has long studied and sought TO adj
vance agricultural extension work and
the cause Of good roads.
Also that he Ia engaged in the coal
and timber business. and in banking.
and that he is in complete sympathy
with the working man. because he was
born a poor boy and remembers the
hardships Of poverty. This is true.
Mr.. Hite. by reason of his personal
interests. is intimately acquainted with
the business needs Of the times, and
by reason Of his experience in life is
Intimately acquainted with tho needs
OF the working people and in complete
sympathy with them.
The moro one studies Mr.. Hite and
the better one becomes acquainted
with the man and his history, the more
convinced he becomes that 1t will be
wise. both from personal and the party
standpoint. to nominate him for SEN
ator. His nomination, under these cir
cumstances, would mean election, and
his election fair and Intelligent service
to the people.

Only line is necessary to answer
the Exponent's question: What is
the use of the present size OF the po-
lice force?" A better service than
the city has ever had with traffic off,
GERS for the first time to look after
the lives of citizens and especially
the safety of the school children on
their way to and from school and to
keep women from being run down by
vehicles. Lives are more valuable
than what is paid the police force
even just one life is worth. more than
It costs to run the department.
The question OF record is sprung
by the Exponent regarding Harry L.
Brooks. chief OF police. That record
is best attested to by the confidence
the people OF the city have expresyd
in retaining him as chief year after
year. BY the way. do the voters
read anything in the Exponent
about the record of Sappington?
Would Sappington himself like
to see that record in print?
The Telegram opines not. The
