The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1916-10-25

Ject 10 crltlclsm ana THIS record
speaks for itself.
mr.. Cornwell is being support.
ed by men whose lives show them
to be the bitter. relentless foe OF
the laboring men,-men like Clar.
ence w. Watson, the directing
head OF the great non.union Com
solidation Coal Company Of Fair.
mont. the largest operating com.
pany In the state OF West Virginia,
operating approximately fifty.one
coal mines.
Again, men like Taylor Vinson,
the notorious corporation lawyer
OF Huntington. whose record as
chief corporation lobbyist before
the West Virginia Legislature in
opposition to all humane construc-
1--WE aud progressive law. and as
an unrelenting foe OF labor have
left their party TO or"ose Judge
Robinson because OF his known
friendly record as to labor and to
support John ]. Cornwell because
they believe that he will be, IL
elected. q willing instrument In
their hands III the mutilation OF
constructive legislation and op-
posed 10 the interests of the labor
ing men.
Yet We find Watson union Ia
bcr's bitterest foe In absolute and
undisputsd control of John ].
Cornwell's candidacy moving
headquarters, dcposing chairman,
and leading Cornwcil around with
leash.
Feeling. as we thus do, we urge
every man who has the true In.
terests of the state at heart who
believes In square deal for the
laboring man. who believes In a
broader liberty. fuller justice to
join with US in defeating at the
polls in the November election,
this dangerous and vicious effort
to prostitute the government of a
great state and to this end we earn
estly urge every laboring man in
the state regardless OF partisan
policies, to cast his vote for Judge
Ira E. Robinson, and thus prove
that labor does defend her friends
and has a heart Of gratitude"
