There is one thing the voter must bear
in mind, and that is that IL this state il
to be purged Of Hatfieldism and all its
iniquities there must be a clean sweep
both in the executive and legislative de-
partments. IL will avail the people but
very little to just elect the governor. II
he is to accomplish anything he must be
given legislature and senate that will
heartily cooperate with him. To do
otherwise would be simply to tie his
hands. He would be a general without
an army. If the machine were to elect
everything but the governor it would still
be in full control and continue its robbery
OF the people. lie could only recommend
and veto, but the machine legislature
could pass its vicious legislation over the
governors veto. This is one thing that
the voters who are opposed TO Halfeldisrn
must thoroughly understand

Now is the time 10 get ont the tax re-
ceipts Of 1904 and 1915 and compare
them. In the former year John J. Corn
well told the Taxpayers that the adoption
Of the Dawson tax laws would enor-
mOusly increase the tax ticket. The Re-
publican state house machine newspapers
and orators replied that such statement
was purely Democratic campaign lies. 4"
Il is now up 70 the taxpayer 20 decide

John J. Cornwell in Hampshire Re-
view)
From what we regard as reliable
Republican authority the information
comes that in very few days, per-
haps before this article reaches the
readers OF the Review, the Hatfield
machine, through it's organs I'm
Wheeling. Fairmont. Parkersburg,
Huntington and elsewhere, is to take
the offensive and make a terrible on
slaught on the Democratic candidate
for governor. The same yillainous
methods OF attempting to blacken and
destroy private regulations which the
machine pursued in its fight against
Abe Lilly is to be repeated with re-
doubled fury
Already Judge Robinson, somewhat
to our surprise, has been referring to
Cornwell as the candidate OF "Clar-
ence Watson, the man with the check
book and the fountain pen" This is
to be enlarged on, exploited, empha-
sized and headlined. Cornwell is to
be held up as the candidate of the
interests" and we are to hear about
the Riggs bank. his attorneyship for
corporations and so on.
Our information is-and II is from
such reliable sources that we do not
doubt it-that the man behind this
mud-gun OF AZ centimetre calibre 10
Chas. w. Swisher, whom we here and
now charge with having sought to
make a deal to stop prosecution IL
certain corporation will contribute
100000 to the Republican machine
campaign fund. One OF the men to
be named with Cornwell's campaign
is associated with Swisher and aided
him in getting Lilly to abandon the
contest against Judge Robinson-this
for the purpose of covering their own
tracks. .,..
The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor welcomes this assault from the
Hatfild machine and its horde OF ap-
pointees and satellites. He has no
skeletons in his political closet he is
afraid to have exhibited. The people
know how he obtained the guberna-
torial nomination. that he owes It to no
one man or group OF men, but to the
| Embossed Democratic voters. and prin-
cipally to the Democratic farmers.
IL the machine wants to make Clar-
ence Watson, instead of its own rec
| ord, the issue in this state, they are
| doomed to disappointment. They can
| not get away from the record, because
we are not going to permit them TO
| do IL. We imagine IL the issue was
made between Hatfield and Watson
| there would be but one finish. The
one has imposed unconscionable tax
burdens on the people to maintain a
| gigantic political machine and whose
name goes abroad only when he beats
up commercial traveller on a train
or knocks down a fellow delegate al
a Republican national convention
The other the head of great indus
tries. developing the state. his name q
synonym OF personal and business In
tegrity.
Do the people of West Virginia pre-
fer a political bruiser to a business
man? II they do the writer does not
want to be their governor.
Come on with your mud, We politi-
cal freebooters. our hand was play
ed out in the primary. There are
thousands OF Republicans all over
West Virginia who condemn that kind
OF politics. You will be wiser when
you have reaped the results of your at
tack.

The ant-HatfsId Republicans believe,
and the circumstances under which Gen.
Lilly Withdrew lends color 70 the allega-
ton, that Lily polIed more votes than
Robinson and was cheated ont OF the
nomination by the corrupt machine. Now
70 vote for Robinson would be aiding the
machine in thWarting the will Of the indie
pendent Republicans. That's Why they
are making it 20 plain that Robinson
must be defeated.

The republicans say they wish to have
an official canvass made before con.

is merely that errors frequently creep
into quick calculations. and a few
such errors might easily oyerturn the
election. II is admitted. however. that
II errors In counting or tabulation
have occurred they are just as likely
to favor the democrats as the repub-
