OLD GUARD DELIGHTED

Now that Mr.. Hughes has come out 90
hatfootedly for q protective tariff, really
advancing it to the Importance OF an
issue, there is more real JOY in the hearts
OF the Old Guard. When he started out
for America First, and America Eff
Gent" and followed this up with wild
war talk and declared for the Anthony
woman suffrage amendment, those wise
old boys, Penrose, Crane, Smoot, Gal
linger, Cannon, Mann and Lodge merely
winked the other eye; but now it's differ
ent. "Good," Good" and also, ''hear,
hear come from them in ecstatic
chorus. They know what protection
means for themselves and the interests
they have 80 long been associated with.
lts the old times restored, old conditions,
the old era Of plutocracy and privilege
OF money caste and the lobby, that they
are yearning for. OF course they are
willing Tor their candidate 10 do a little
trimming; 70 catch what he can OF the
Progressive voters OF the country, but
ooh me, Oh my" 20 they yet another
Aldrich-Psyne or Dinsley or Mckinley
tariff measure through, they can stand
the other things with easy composure.

NEVER AGAIN

The Rochester IN. W Herald twice
supported Mr.. Hughes for governor Of
New York. Ii is now a bitter critic OF
his campaigning methods. and it says
OF him.
HE behaves a. a machine candidate.
too timid 10 say what he will do, il
elected, or what he would have done II
he had been elected in Woodrow Wilson's
place four years ago, and required to deal
with the vast and perplexing problems Of
Mr. Wilson'S term.
"A hand. picked candidate named by
William Barnes or Thomas G. Plat or
or Charles +. Murphy for governor Of
New York, and fearful Of the rick Of
committing himself 10 any project under
the sun, would have behaved just as Mr..
Hughes is now behaving Also, when
election came, he would have been beaten
on! Of sight"

MingO Election Frauds

Present indications point to an ex-
posure of political corruption In Min
go and Mcdowell counties, as a result
OF Investigations conducted by federal
secret service agents, which will re
veal situation almost IL not quite
as bad as that which was uncovered
in Adams county. Ohio, a few years
ago. leading to the acknowledgements
OF about 1000 citizens as penalty for
vote selling.
The traffic in votes, registration and
ballot box frauds. and similar corrupt
practices in the Norfolk G. Western
| country have been carried on with in
creasing boldness in each succeeding
election, until the political crooks
have reached the point at which they
fancy they are immune to prosecution
| and punishment. The Williamson
News, published at the county seat of
Mingo. declares that 1t has been per-
secuted for what it has said i'm the
past In regard to outrageous frauds
on the ballot box, and as a further
Indication OF the deadening effect on
the public conscience OF long tolerated
election crimes. the News mentions the
TACT that the manipulation OF elections
In Mingo county has become a matter
or Testing and Boosting among the
guilty ones.
The state and county authorities
have shown no disposition to probe
charges Of crookedness In the cleo
tions of Mingo and Mcdowell counties.
the matter was brought to the atten-
ton OF the federal department OF jus-
tice. and secret agents sent into those
counties secured sufficient evidence
to warrant a grand jury OF the United
States court in finding many true bills
against alleged offenders. Fhe govern
ment will prosecute these cases with
characteristic thoroughness. oliver
f.. Pagan has ben sent from Washing
ton, and Senator u, f.. French from
Blue6eld, to assist the district attoF-
ney. federal authority in the matter
extending to both primary and gem
eral elections in which candidates for
federal Offices are voted upon.
II is desirable that an example be
made OF those who are responsible for
election frauds I'm West Virginia's
black belt. and It Is even more impor-
tant that effective measures be taken
to end criminal practices which have
defeated the will Of the voters and
made popular elections a farce. n
some Of the election crooks are pIac-
ed behind prison bars we may enjoy
the novelty In November Of an honest
ballot and fair count in Mingo and
Acknowledgment.
