SENATOR CHILToN'S VISIT.

The Democrats of Ohio county open
their campaign with a meeting this
evening to be addressed by speaker
of some notability in national affairs,
but who is a comparative stranger 20
Wheeling audiences. We refer 10
Senator William E. Chiffon, whose
visits TO this part of the State have
been rare indeed. Probably this ab.
sence has made the hearts of his coI!-
stituents grow fonder Of him and Will,
in a measure. increase the warmth OF
the reception extended TO him. The
InteIligencer trusts that this will be
the case. and that his past neglect
will not be held in prejudice against
him.,
Senator Chiffon is most amiable
gentleman of fluent manners ana
agreeable speech. He comes as one
anointpd OF the Wilson admlniStTa-
ton to prophesy in its faith. He is OF
the fulneSs and fairness thereof, ana
there will be great rejoicing among
the faithful when he shall have re-
counted 10 them the incidents of his
soiourn in the far country where he
has 50 long labored for the deserving
Of his party.
II will truly be night OF great re-
treatment for the local Democracy.
AS Mr.. Chiffon has never been bound
by the narrow limitations of partisan.
ism. he is more than likely, broad
minded and generous as he is known
TO be. to say some pleasant things Of
the Republican party and its leaders.
and we advise all Republicans who
can push their way into the throng 20
make it point TO hear him.

UP TO MIR. CORNWELL.

The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of this State in the course o.
one of his speeches made direct
charges against Superintendent De
Berry, of the Deaf and Blind school,
which if true greatly impairs his USE
fulncss as an official Of that lnstitu-
ton. 1t untrue they distinctly dis
credit Mr.. Cornwells regard for the
truth.
Mr.. De Berry, who has been an effi-
cient official, and a gentleman who is
highly respected and trusted by all
who know him, has in the most eX-
plicit terms denied the truth of Mr..
CornwelPs statement that he had lev
led tribute from the employees OF the
institution over which he presides for
the support of the Republican State
ticket. MIR. De Berry's statement is
an unqualified denial of the SANDER
Gus utterances of the Democratic CAN
didate for governor. The only pos
sible construction that can be placed
on Mr.. Cornwell's performance is tina:
he has either been misinformed in
this matter, or he has wilfully lied on
Mr.. De Berry. 1t is now up TO Mr.,
Cornwell 10 tell which.

WHY He BUTTED IN.

There is one feature connected with
the railroad crisis that recently con-
eronted the country that it would be
well for the people TO ponder over,
Ind that is the phase that places me
1irect responsibility on the President
or the situation that forced a sur
render from him and led him 10 direct
Congress to pass the Adamson wage
increase law. 1t is nothing more
than the manner in which he subor-
dinated the Federal Board OF Media
stien and Cancellation and made him
self the conspicuous figure in the con-
troversy. There was, Of course, a
purpose and design in this, all 100
obvious to the close observer OF
events that followed.
\ The Mediation and Cancellation
Board has been in existence for some
tirse past 1t has gained the respect
OF both employees and employers and
has never experienced but one failure
! in its history. But it has been sue
.cesstul because it has been wholly
independent body. never interfered
with by any cabinet officer or any
President, prior to Mr.. Wilson. From
the beginning of the serious stage Of
the railway controversy, Mr.. Wilson's
every step was calculated to insure
failure Of the efforts OF this board.
Daily announcements from the White
House declared that Mr.. Wilson was
watching the controversy with keen
est interest. When employers and
employees were unable. to reach al
agreement, Mr.. Wilson announced
that he had directed" the board, over
which, under the law, he had no auth
GRITTY, to proceed to New York, thus
reducing it to the position OF a sub
ordinate body, and inviting an appeal
to-himself as a higher authority.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1916-09-26

When the efforts Of the board ala not
meet with success. he announced from
the White House that If it did not
meet with success, he hlmself
would take the matter in hand, thus
insuring its failure. The brother
hoods, naturally and wisely, preterr-
ing the mediation Of President VINO
was actively seeking his own re-elec'
ton, and on the eve of a campaign
would not thereafter let the board
settle the strike along lines Of strict
Justice and impartiaity. And no one
can blame them for preferring to trust
their cause 10 Mr.. Wilson. They
knew their man.
There does not appear 10 be any
thing in this analysis 10 relieve the
Just inference that Mr.. Wilson butted
into the situation to make it an IN
strument to promote his own political
fortunes.

REPUBLICAN SOLIDARITY.

There has always been a firm De-
lief among the people that the coun-
try's affairs are better administered
under Republican government and
that their own interests are safer
under the guidance Of its party poll
cies. This belief has been strength
ened by the performances Of an ad-
ministration whose policies have been
Sinimical to best interests Of the United
/ States and the peace and happiness
of It's people. Ever since the great
mistake was made in 1912 there has
been a growing regret Of its perpetra-
ton. Nothing is surer to-day than
: that the Republican forces that were
Z apart four years ago are now reunited
\ under the banner of Charles rVans
ughes.
From the time the beneficiary OF
De Republican division took his sea-
as q minority President his daily en-
deayor has. been to keep the chasm
open. He has used all his arts ana Of
s ncial acts to make the rent pernan-
! cent. As there was no disagreement
Of the two Republican wings on funda-
mentals there was little trouble III
