The ARGUS is authorized to say that
the Democratic ticket will be left with
spaces vacant in the primary election I'M
less some candidate has announced and
paid his money for the privilege of hsv-
ing his name printed thereon. Any
Democrat voter has the privilege of writ
ing in the blank space his choice for any
office, and the Democrat having the
largest number of votes in the primary
will be declared the nominee of the
Democratic party, and his name will APP
pear regularly on the official ballot for
the November election.

On page four OF this issue of The ARGUS
will be found the political advertisement
OF William F. Hite in the interest of his
candidacy for the Republican nomina
ton for United States Senator. Being
staunch Democratic paper and firm be-
lever in the doctrines of that party THE
ARGUS naturally does not in any way en-
dorse or vOuch for the statements con-
tanned in Mr.. Hite's advertisement, but
simply sold our space to Mr.. Hite's rep
resentative at our regular rates, just as
we would DO to any other candidate, and
as the leading magazines and newspapers
have been doing for years. The ARGUS
is taking no part whatever in the fight
between the factions oil the Republican
party, but is tor Democracy first, last and
always. However, the tact cannot be
gainsaid that the Republicans recognize
real live paper when they desire a medium
through which to present their message
to the voters.

Senator l.. j. Forman Of Grant county,
and j. w. Harmon Of Tucker, were here
Tuesday shaking hands with their toll
lowers and an occasional Democrat. We
fear that both gentlemen tore themselves
when they carried their respective coun-
ties for Bowers, giving that gentleman
the edge for the nomination. 1t looks to
The ARGUS as il Bowers will be the candi-
date We will have to fight in November.
Will the Journal come out as strong for

did for mis- election?

Senator William f. Chiffon is unop-
posed for the Democratic nomination for
reelection as United States senator, and
this is as it should be. Senator Chiffon
has been an ardent supporter Of President
Wilson, and an able, conscientious rep
resentative from West Virginia. He
should be renominated and reelected.

THE ARGUS is informed that Colonel
Leroy Shaw has announced as a candi-

believe that he will receive very little
support from the Hatfield machine,
which alone is a recommendation for
Colonel Shaw.

George NJ. Bowers, Congressman
elect from the Second district of West
Virginia. will enter Congress with the
brand of a violator of the law upon
him. He failed to comply with the
Federal law requiring him TO file
statements of his expenditures at GER
tain periods of his campaign. Ten
days before the primary election or
convention at which he is nominated
and again ten days afterward, he is
required to file a sworn statement of
his receipts and expenditures i'm the
campaign. He is required to do the
same thing before and after the cleo
ton. He failed utterly to file his
statements as to the primary cam
paign and to file his statement pre-
vious to the election. at the times re-
quired by law. Probably no attention
will be paid to this fact by Congress.
but Mr.. Bowers knew better. for he
had run for Congress before and
knew the requirements of law in re-
gard to IT,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Geo. W. summersJ

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Despite
the fact that George NJ. Bowers, Re
publican was elected to Congress from
the Second West Virginia district last
week as the successor to tine late Con-
gresham w. G.. Brown, the result has
shown a decided reduction OF the nor
NAL Republican majority i'm that dis
trict, which has greatly pleased the
Democrats. Senator Chiffon addressed
the Senate a few minutes last Thurs
day in explanation OF the vote. Sen
ator Kenyon had expressed gratifca-
ton over the gain OF a Republican
Congressman and had hoped that the
election was but fore-runner Of what
will happen i'm November at the gen
eral election, Senator Chiffon, OBJ
tanning the floor. said IL the Republ-
cans could get any comfort out OF the
Second district election they were
welcome 10 it. He hoped the result
next fall would be in line with the
result last week I'm the Second dis
a.
cratic gain. Senator Chiffon showed
that in 1900 the Republicans carried
the Second district by 2.059; in 1902 by
1,341; in 1904 by more than 1000; in
1906 by 1852. and in 1908 by 1851. In
1910 Mr.. Brown carried the district by
1884, but. said Senator Chiffon, CIV
erybody understood that 1t was a vic
tory for Brown and not a victory for
the Democratic party" He went on
to show that in 1912, while Mr.. Brown
was elected by less than 200, the
combined vote of Roosevelt and Taft
in the district exceeded that cast for
Wilson by 1899, and that although
Governor Hatfield ran considerably
behind his ticket he carried the Sec
ond district by 2,462. He showed that
the Democratic vote was increased
last week in all but two counties of
the district, and that the vote in these
two counties was not a fair expression
of the sentiments OF the voters. One
OF these counties was Berkeley. the
home of Mr.. Bowers, and the Senator
said: IL have no doubt i'm the world
that when the other House of Con-
gress comes to Investigate that ques-
ton it will find ample reasons why
that county happened to slump to pre-
vent the Democratic party from get
ting the splendid advantage which it
would have had by virtue OF the popu-
larity OF the present Democratic ad-
ministration." He said unfair means
were used to exc out the meager ma
jority of about 400 which is now being
paraded as a Democratic slump. He
said: "The truth is that even If it
were fairly obtained, the returns from
the Second West Virginia district
show a falling off i'm the Republican
majorities. A district normally Re
publican by over 1000 went Republi-
can by about 400 If the Senator from
Iowa can find any consolation i'm
these figures 1 hope that consolation
will keep up until November for his
benefit. The wise politicians in his
party will not base hopes of victory
in November upon that result"

MY Home Town Girl, reviewed BY
Harlow Gale: 1.-The record breaking
success last week of the beautiful
"Bird of Paradise, both for the Me
tropolitan and for the company, ought
to be largely continued this week with
the bright, dainty and pretty "My
Home Town Girl" For the big Sun
day night audience laughed to their
hearts content at the genuine humor
and wit of John Hyams and rejoiced
exuberantly in the charming scenes sur
rounding the sober and genial come
dian. The contrast of the country girl
and her uncle with the dainty but So
phisticated sylphs of the modiste' s shop
was perfectly delightful and Leila Nc
Intyre's singing of "There She Goes, "
and Games" her lovely dancing and
her sweet simplicity were enhancing.
Her doing all this, too, with her real
husband as her stage partner added
greatly to the wholesale and artistic
ensemble. The second couple of young
people, who get mixed up in various
harmless escapades within and without
the modiste's shop, were Roy Purvi-
ance and Alma Youlin, who added much
to the evenings delight by their sing
ing and general agreeableness. The
transformation of Kalamazoo girl in
to French Madame Marie, with ex-
treme gyrations and eccentric angular
tiles, was intensely done by Eda Won
LIKE. Her Minneapolis friends will be
highly interested and amused to watch
her troubles in running her shop girls
and her former country lover. Uncle
Peter. 4 This sporty old uncle, in Chas.
Horne, and contrasting city cyclone
aunt, lin Maude Beatty, gave breezy
background tos.the romantic entangle-
mentssof the young people.
Thus Frank NJ Stammers has patch
ed together an entertaining book and
Louis Hirsch ditto music. The two stage
settings of the Bride Shop and the even
ening scene on Riverside drive are each
artistic creations in their widely diff
ferent ways. The beauty chorus and
its startling variety of very modsh
gowns were themselves worth the even
ing trip"
The Grand Opera House Orchestra
will be augmented by several of the
musicians carried by the company, in
Guiding solo harp. Seats now on SALE
Inasmuch.as the splendid attraction
advertised by the DEBORAH Opera House
Company, will appear in Cresco the
all who fail to secure

appearance here.
