The ONLY BOSS

The Wheeling Intelligencer exultingly
remarks: Hats off to Gen. Lilly" Now
the average person believes in giving
credit TO whom credit is due" In this
connection it will strike the average per-
son that the 1ntelligencer's salutation be-
longs to Gov. Henry Drury Hatfield.
While we cannot subscribe to the Gov
ernor's political ethics we hope we are
broad-minded enough to "render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar 8. 4"
Therefore that the future historian may
record the 1916 primary campaign accu-
rately we would say that the honor for
the withdrawal of Gen. Lilly from the
gubernatorial contest rightly belongs to
Gov. Hatfield. 1t was his fine Italian
hand that made it possible for Gen. Lilly
to surrender without the spilling OF one
drop OF blood and the exposing of the
alleged corruption in Mcdowell county,
which robbed the gallant General OF the
Republican nomination for governor.
This establishes beyond CONTROVERSY that
Gov. Hatfield is still the unchallenged
and undisputed BOSS of the Republican
party; that his word is law and must be
accepted by all candidates at its face
value. 1t is one of the greatest political
achievements yet accomplished by Gov.
Hatfield in thus compelling his arch
enemy to bow the knee to Baal
How often did Gen. Lilly proclaim from
the hastings and yell from the stump that
ne would have the political scalp OF
Henry Drury Hatfield! Too numerous
to calculate without the adding machine.
In the language OF the immortal Shakes
peare, What fall was there my coun-
trymen" Lying Frustrated at the feet
of the man whom he declared before high
heaven that he would dethrone! Is this
to be the fate OF his army OF sixty thou.
sand patriots? Will they, too, surrender
to the boss and plead for mercy? We
will never believe it until the ballots are
cast and the result declared.

Enjoy Unique Banquet.

III ever there was a time that the
men and women OF Rowlesburg pray
ed to become gormandizers 1t was on
last Wednesday night, August End, in
Hollis hall, when the alowlesburg vol
unteer fire company, which was organ
lied under the name OF the Vigilant
Real and Hose company, enjoyed one
OF the most elaborate banquets ever
held IN the River City.
Promptly at nine o'clock, as sche-
duled, the curtains were thrown open
and the beautifully decorated tables
were exhibited. and many OF the older
heads remarked that 1t reminded them
OF the real Delmonico. All the delica-
cies OF the season were served in an
abundance and greatly enjoyed. The
committee composed of Messrs. Jack
son, Giffin and Bryner, deserve much
credit for the perfect manner in which
the six courses were served.
The big president Of the organiza-
ton. A. A. Pickering, acted as toast
master for the evening and certainly
did ii to perfection. He made quite
a witty talk which was heartily APP
plauded. All members of the company
as well as the gentlemen guests were
called upon to give brief talks and re-
sponded promptly to the POSTMASTER.
Another delightful feature OF the even
ing's entertainment was a number OF
selections on the piano given by sew
eral OF the young ladies. Near the
hour OF midnight the POSTMASTER an
nounced that all would join in singing
that we'll thought of song Good Night,
Ladies'" after which all departed for
their homes feeling that they had had
most enjoyable social gathering and
a real preparedness" banquet.

PERISH The THOUGHT

Has IT come TO pass in the great state
OF West Virginia that the men at the
head OF the Republican state house ma
chine have grown so all-powerful that
they own the state; that they can say TO
men seeking public office: ave will give
you the governorship in 1916; the United
States senatorship in 1920; the auditor
ship in l924?' Ii really looks that way.
For years the machine has been psrceling
out the offices to its faithful worshipers.
Have the people no voice i'm the selection
OF their public oflicials7 Truth compels
us to say that owing 10 political prejudice
such has been the case. What the ma
chine could not win honestly il did not
hesitate to steal by corrupt political
methods. In 1904 it stole the governor.
ship from the Hon. John J. Cornwell.
The majority OF the voters in 1904 be-
lieved that John Cornwell was telling
them the truth about the Dawson tax
laws; the Virginia debt the creation of
unnecessary public offices and the build
ing up OF the most powerful political ma
chine that ever cursed free people.
Today the voters of West Virginia know
that John Cornwell told them the truth
in 1904. Every prediction that he made
in 1904 has been fulfilled. The Dawson
tax laws have enormously increased taxa
ton; the Virginia debt has been saddled
upon the taxpayers; the public Offices
have been increased four-fold, and the
most gigantic political machine has been
thoroughly entrenched in power. Even
Gen. Lilly admitted this in his campaign
speeches during the primary campaign.
1t was upon his declaration Of condemna-
ton and faithful promise that he would
right this great wrong il he was elected
governor that SIXTY THOUSAND hon
est Republican voters supported him.
Now Gen. Lilly says in substance that he
is willing TO condone this great wrong TO
the people by Withdrawing for the good
OF the party and let this gross injustice
TO the people continued Will an honest
man compromise on such terms? Will
an honest man shield the burglar and
corrupter Of the ballot in order to save
the friend whom he knows to be guilty
OF burglary and corrupting the ballot?
