which vantage point they rushed
down upon the unsuspecting
minister and his family, whowere
entrenched at rheparsonage. The
first and second line trenches
were occupied by the invadin e
forces without serious difficulty
and no lives were lost in the skir-
mish which preceded yhe gener-

expressed fears that some trou-

due to Overeating.
Another pounding followed on
Tuesday night in which the Bap-

Hardy, was the chief victim.
Members of his own church, as
sisted by members of the other
churches in town, called in strong
force and, with ammunition con

TWO CANDIDATES.

not be hard for them to make up their minds
best interests Of the State of West Virginia.
In Cornwell they saw and heard candidate who
knocked" all the progressive measures that have
been adopted since the state came into the control
OF Republicans; whose record shows that he is
against everything that the plain people, especially
the people who work for the great corporations,
want and that he is for everything that these same
corporations desire.
In Robinson they saw man of the people who
interest; who is moreover one of the great lawyers
Of the country. Unlike his opponent, Judge Robin.
son is frank about what he stands for He is pledg
ed to continue the progressive policies that have
found SO much favor with the people during the
past five or six years and to make the corporations
bear their share of the burden of taxation.
The man who does not vote for Judge Robinson
on election day is going to be sorry for it.

GREAT DEMONSTRATION.

TIE showing made by the Republicans in honor
i OF the coming Of Judge Robinson to Marion
county must have sent cold chills down the
backs OF the Democratic gangsters. There was a
great outpourng both in this city and IN Manning
ton and on every hand there was evidence that the
Republican party is thoroughly aroused and pre-
pared to put up fight Of the winning kind on cleo
ton day.
In spite Of the studied effort to mar the effect by
driving street car and vehicular traffic through It
at every possible opportunity, the parade which
welcomed the Republican candidate to Fairmont
was large and interesting It was by far the most
successful feature Of the campaign in this section
Of the state.
The gathering at the court house. although it was
held In the middle Of the day and on the day pre-
ceding Saturday, was the largest meeting held in
this county far by either party It was twice as
large as the meeting held for Cornwel, which, by
the way, was held on Saturday night but the peo-
pie were so little interested in what the Democratic
stalking horse had to say that they did not trouble
to 60 inside for the purpose.
Perhaps the most encouraging feature of the
demonstration yesterday from the standpoint of
good government and honest politics was the great
turn out Of the country people. They wanted to
hear what Judge Robinson had to say because they
are going to vote for him and the whole Republican
ticket.
Yesterday proves that the Republicans can win
even in Marion county if they make the proper eff
fort. Let every Republican and every voter who
believes that the people and not the law defying
corporations should rule in West Virginia turn out
on November and vote for Hughes and Robinson

WHY?

RI would be interesting to know just why it was
81 that the Mayor refused to permit Judge Ira Rob-
inson to address the crowd from the court house
steps yesterday afternoon.
Was it because he had no orders from the Gang
leaders and therefore did not know what to do in
the circumstances
Or is his partisanship of such narrow type that
he did not want the Republicans to show what
large crowd they can produce at political meeting
when they get chance9
It certainly was not because there is any law on
the statute book that he feels any great amount of
respect for, nor because the Democratic campaign
managers in this city requested him to act as he
did, for they know, if the Mayor does not, that the
churiish action of the city government which every
one knows belongs to the Democratic gang govern
ment Of Marion county, made no end of votes for
the Republican ticket
Every time the city government has s,ught to do

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT.

III is guess that somebody is getting spanked
/ from time to time for perpctrating that mis-
B take Of making invisible government - an is.
sue in this campaign. There could hardly have
been more ludicrous blunder than for a Demo
cratic management to drag that particular issue to
the front, anyhow; but to charge that Hughes is
the man who is going to be ruled by invisible and
vicious forces is equal to the height of the absurdty
of the charge by Boss Watson S jumping jack can
aidate for governor that Judge Ira E. Robinson
will be.
A nationwide guffaw has greeted the effort to
make Charles Evans Hughes look like the exponent
OF gang control. If ever there man who risk
ed his whole political career on his determination
to keep everything in the wide open, that man has
been Hughes In the insurance inquiry his special
business turning the light into the dark places
He proved himself an adept at manipulating the
tell-tale ray; he compelled attention, as other
man had done, to the fact that publicity was the
potent cure for great completely of evils that had
grown into the business system. He brought under
the spotlight many practices that had been condor
I'd and even regarded as harmless if not positively
yrtuous; but that examined in the cold, pitiless
light Of undiluted public interest," were seen to be
Objectionable and dangerous.
Then he was promoted to the governorship be-
cause the people were of opinion that that same

ought to be useful in solving riddles concern

he demonstrated that publicity, plus the public,
could accomplish ends that were never to be attain

To bring the accusation of invisible government

Hbout the last thing that sensible campaign man
