Hall Turns ON the Light

The written reply made by Grant Z.
Hall. 10 the attack made on him I'm
the Governors paper. is enlightening
and instructive i'm the sense that Il
shows how the state house admins
tration is trafficking i'm public Office
how II shows utter contempt and in
difference TO primaries: how Il offers
public positions on platter at large
salaries for political support: how Il
erases other candidates from the
states FOR public Office and assures an
individual that he will be nominated.
and last. it turns soarchlight on po-
litical conditions OF affairs. which the
public thought would be cured by the
primary laws.
Less than month ago the sup
porters OF Judge Robinson sent \ del
egatioi 10 me l-ging me- To become a
candidate FOR Congress on the ltepub-
lican ticket, not only pledging me
support but agreeing to give me the
nomination for Congress without a
fight"
In these words Hall tells how a seat
in Congress was ODE traded for his
support, how contempt was to be
shown TO the candidates. OF John a.
Thayer and Or. +. V. Godbey and w.
II. Rardin all candidates i'm the pri.
maries. The people were to be re-
lieved of the right to nominate men
and the supporters OF Judge Robinson
were TO name Hall and in return Hall
should support Robinson.
This is not wild statement. made
by AN unconseQuential or unreliable
man, but was made by Grant p Hall
In an open letter to a Republican
newspaper. Hall further writes:
Also within the last thirty days
supporter OF Judge Robinson and an
appointee OF Governor Hatfield offered
me position as a member OF the
Board OF Control at salary OF $4,000
per year II I would support the candi-
dacy OF Judge Robinson for COVER
nor"
Thus when the OFFER OF a seat i'm
Congress was ineffective, and the bait
OF this honor did not tempt Hall TO
support Judge Robinson, another offer
was made and this to give him an ap-
pointive Office carrying with II n sal
airy OF $4,000 a year, and one which
was sure and not endangered by the
fluctuations Of the will OF the voters.
The voters OF the state are hereby
permitted TO enter into the inner tenn
pie and see the wonders OF the poIiti-
cal machine. Hall opened the door
and let the sunlight shine for few
minutes on the dark chamber OF the
inside.
The Republican machine. peeved at
It's inability TO have every one accent
It's own candidates, goes out to crush
some. TO offer political bribes to 9th
ers and. last of all, public Office with
salaries of $4,000 a year, to obtain
the support of an individual.
One of the significant facts is that
the first plan TO obtain Halls good Will
was to sacrifice Thayer and Godbey.
They were to be decorated with the
double cross; the money they have
spent In the interest OF their candida
cies and the labor OF head and hand
was TO be counted as lost; gone for
ever because Hall, It was deemed. was
necessary TO take his turn at the wheel
OF the Robinson ship.
When Hall refused to consent 10
such political ingratitude he was read
out Of the party.-Ch Charleston Gazette.

The Real Issue

The voters OF the state should not
be blinded by illusions. Beneath the
target shot full Of holes and covered
with paint remain the holes. Beautl-
full textures often cover sores. and DO
litical arguments are often used to
clothe political sins
In the coming election. which will
be held next November. but one fun
damental fact that the Republicans I'm
power in the state broke all their cam
paign pledges; violated many OF the
principles OF the party; increased the
burden laid on the people by exorbi-
tant taxes; passed a corrupt practice
act which is little better than none
created many useless places and now
is using them for the nomination OF
favored candidates
There can be relief from this oondl.
tion only by changing the party in
power II is not necessary 10 recite
that reforms have been promised by
the Republicans I'm every campaign,
only to ignore the promises, trusting
that shifting scenes and conditions
would perpetuate the party in power
Can this condition keep on forever.
or have the voters Of the state awak-
ened TO the fact and will they forget
partisanship and be guided only by
reason? Charleston Gazette
