Johnson 10 y Bird.

That Is evidently 4 fine party Of
spellbinders reported by the Clarks-
burg papers as doing the school house
circuit in Harrison county. Their
statements as reported in their own
party paper In Clarkshurg make John
Cornwell's speeches look like the pure
and undetlled truth. For instance, take
this one by Mr. Johnson, who Is
turning himself loose with no re-
straint. evidently.

blood to the presidency and control
of the country Wilson promptly
recognized that man In the name of
the United States. Beneyldes. in
February, 1914. stormed the prcsl-
dental palace in Peru. assassinated
the minister OF war, took over the
government and was promptly recog-
nIzed by Wilson.
Felix Diaz attacked the City OF
Mexico with his army, for twelve
days shelled the government build

Huerta. overthrow Madero who was
later taken prisoner. and was killed
under circumstances which have
never been made clear to the Amer
lean public -and Wilson proceeded
to inform the world that he would
never recognize as president of Mex
leo. a man who had shed blood to
attain his power.

In his York speech in Pennsylvania,

milton OF Benevides on the score Of
"expediency", and that President

What President Cleveland actually
did, on the occasion of two great
emergencies affecting domestic peace
and our information relations says
the Philadelphia Ledger, forms a
fitting answer to the parrot query
that is being put to Mr.. Hughes by

emergencies in question are an al
most perfect parallel to those which
have confronted President Wilson,
and, as ex-Attorney General Wicker

very differently from the means
adopted by the present incumbent Of
the White House.

The gubernatorlal campaign from
the Republican standpoint has degen-
Grated to exactly where 1t stood ever
since William NJ o. Dawson defeated
John j. Cornwell in 1904.
In the campaign OF 1915 the Re
publicans have candidate whose
character and whose public record
are unassailable. The record OF the
Republican party stands firm as ada
mant. All efforts by the Democrats
TO stand upon substantial state IT.
sues have been abandoned II, in
deed, any ever have been made.
The Democrats have now but ono
appeal. This appeal is to prejudice.
The same appeal was made against
Dawson and against every Republic
can candidate during the last six
teen years. including Governor Hat
field, when he was candidate four
years aeo.
The Democrats exepct to win by
playing upon the prcludices of Re
publican voters. They know that
there was spirited contest for the
Republican nomination for governor.
They know as has been the case in
the past, that there Is some dissat-
isfhction. Because some Republicans
did not get exactly what they wanted
in the primary they expect to play
upon the preIudlces of a sufficient
number OF these men to secure the
election Of Cornwell. They expect
this in spite OF the fact that the
Democratic party is seeking to de-
stroy in both state and nation, ali
that Republicans hold dear as prln-
cIples
This is their estimate Of Republi-
cans: That they will, because disap-
pointed in the primary, turn traitor
to their party and elect one Of it's
worst enemies to the governors
chair. while sacrificing the interests
of the whole Republican ticket by
weakening Republican organization
and making an effective campaign
impossible. VIII Republicans be
caught in this net?

Arc Republicans snckersa

Mr.. Cornwell is conducting the

Gates clearly that he considers a
large element of West Virginia Re
pubiicans specimens of the genus

MIR. Cornwell opposes everything
that the Republican party stands for,
Fhis Is true in state affairs, and 1t is
true of national policies.
Mr.. Cornwell's party is the party
mat destroyed the protective tariff,
Frustrated industry. shut out reye-

and set the curse OF unemployment

every man, woman and child in
west virginia pay 81 more than un-

Mr.. Cornwell's party is the party
that declared in its platform for n
reduction of useless offices in West

declared for the reduction OF
useless offices under the fed

Gratis put in their places. But this
Is not all. This party that demands
a reduction Of offices in West Vir-
ginia and promised a reduction in
the federal government, has made
$4,000 new places for deserving
Democrats" What, under these con-
ditions, do you think will happen in
West Virginia II Mr.. Cornwell shall
be elected and Democratic legisla-
ture to support him?
The Democratic party has almost
doubled federal taxation. A family
OF five persons in West Virginia pays
S35 more to support the federal gov
eminent than was paid two wears
ago. The Democratic party, although
pledged TO reduce the number OF fed.
eral Offices, has created an out
rageous and unheard of number OF
new places for Democrats.
Do Republicans believe in the sim
certify of Mr.. Cornwelrs promises.
under these conditions? 1t is not
more than likely that Mr.. Cornwell
believes that he can fool a few thous-
and Republican voters, taking il for
granted that they are careless. unin.
teiligent and uniformed as TO what
the Democratic party has done
during its incumbcncy in charge of
the federal government?
No Republican should be deceived
on this point, Taxation will continue
under Mr. Cornwcll as high as ever,
and there will be more Offices than
ever before, if he secures the govern
orship. All Republicans now holding
state positions will be fired Just as
Republicans holding positions under
the federal government were disposed
of when Wilson become president.
Mr. Cornwell, therefore, who on
poses Republicanism in all OF its
phases and who will be personally
hostile to all Republican state en-
ployes, and who will fill all places
with Democrats as soon as he be-
comes governor, seems to presume
