A Waning.

Since being candidate for Governor
have sought to conduct clean cam
paign. free from factionalism and bit
terness. / naturally assumed that
those who might oppose me would be
guided by the same spirit and use hon
orable methods. IL become apparent,
some time ago, that some persons were
going to stop short of nothing within
their Bower to stem the tide running
strongly in my favor, but for the sake
of harmony | have said as little as pos
sible of their methods and conduct.
am speaking now only to the extent
necessary and for the purpose of warn
ing my friends of other things, which
am advised, are to come.
In the very beginning 1T was indus
triously circulated in many places that
| was physical wreck, utterly unable
TO make a campaign. To demonstrate
the falsity of that statement, contrary
to my first intention, | went upon the
stump and have made as many speeches
as time will permit. Having no polti-
cal headquarters, no political manager
and no campaign slush fund | am COM
PEELED to spend large portion o. the
time in my office.
Then came the unlawful circulation
of lot of anonymous typewriter
stuff, a violation of the Corrupt
Practices Act. That reacted strongly
in my favor; then the publication of a
number of distorted articles from my
paper was procured IN Weston news
paper. These Diue-penciled sheets have
been sent out all over the state at ire
mendous cost, coupled with an editorial
attack containing three distinct mis-
statements 10 use mild language.
This failing, in certain counties paid
agents are going steaithIly about sur
reptitously circulating various false
hoods. one of which is that | am OPP
posed to organized labor and alleged
statements are attributed to me which
| never made or though D making.
Now comes the word from three dis
tinct and separate sources that some
other Ialsahocds are TO be sprung and
circulated on the eve Of the primary
election, too late for lie TO c0ntrad!c
item
These are the same reprehensible
methods used against me in the cam
paign of 1904 by the Republican
machine when cards were circulated
through the mills of Wheeling, on the
morning of election. charging me with
saying one dollar day was enough for
any workman. That any Democrat
would engage in them is almost past
belief
want to warn my friends AMI the
Democratic voters generally t. be on
their guard for eleventh hour cauards
to be used by some persons who have
apparently forgotten they are Demo
Gratis
Watch. also for the use of money.
This is no IDLE hint.
We are about to face the first state

that the patriotic, thinking individual

unfair, uudemocratic methods have

A Final Word.

Most encouraging reports come from
the various Cou0ties of this District as
to the and;dacy of our countryman, b.
H. Hiner. for Congress, and we just
want, in this our last issue. to appeal
to our people to do their full duty on
Tuesday next, Ia the recent Special
Election. both Barbour and Mineral
Counties, the respective homes of his
opponents, were carried by Bowers,
while this County, of which Mr.. Hiner
is Chairman of the County Committee,
gave Mr.. Woods an increased majority
to the extent of, at least, Is per cent.
Not only will he run far ahead of his
ticket in this County, and many other
Counties of the District but his nomi-
nation and the campaign that will fol-
low, will help secure the election of a
Senator in the Thirteenth District, now
represented by Mr. Keim, a Republican
and will materially aid the state ticket.
AS Campaigner, he is not surpassed
in the State, so says the Randolph
Enterprise. This is matter of more
than ordinary Importance. for upon the
nominee in this District, will fall the
burden of the campaign in the Eastern
end of the State, the State Candidates
Delng required TO spend their time else
where.
The great farming element. to which
we look for our majority, will not only
have a representative on the ticket, but
one in Congress who knows their needs
for while he is a leading lawyer, his
heart is really on the farm; this is not
merely in campaign times, for his great
est interests lie there and he enjoys the
distinction of being the best farmer in
the County.
Hence, we present to the electorate
of this District, one who is familiar
with the needs of the farmer and labor
er and who is capable of defending their
interest in Congress- and the only man
running, who can beat George M. Bow
ers -Pendleton Times Franklin, w. Va
