TYLER VOTERS
WILL REBUKE
WATSON GANG
Republicans Of the County Are
United for National, State
and County Tickets.

SISTERSvILLB. Sept. 23-Tyler
county Republicans, united and mill
tent for the election Of Hugnes, Rob
inson. woodward. Walter Burgess for
the state Senate and the whole state
and county ticket, will not have q
very long campaign. I'VE don't need
1t this year" said one Of the quiet
but very efficient party workers when
going over the situation this week.
Two weeks viii be enough to cover
the county thoroughly with good Re
publican speakers; the Issues are
plain and simple this year, and about
ell tho people have to do Is to con-
trast the argument OF any one Of the
good Republican speakers with the
evasion of Democratic spellbindars,
invite any one of Tyler county's
staunch Republican majority to go
over and vote for the Watson-Fai1~
mont-Cornwell combination which has
already brought down the pillars and
roof Of the Democratic party in this
state. And when that roof caved in,
It let in some sunshine on this Demo-
cratic scheme to capture West Vir-
ginia for one interest, and one man,
the foundation for which was laid
that day secret ballot was taken in
q room In the Chancellor hotel In
Parkersburg.
Voters Independent.
Tyler county voters are independ-
ent If they are anything. We had tho
Progressive movement hero on that
score, and that freedom of action Ia
the very thing which makes all Re-
publicans, Old Guard, II you will,
and former Progressives, certain that
Tyler county people prefer, very
much prefer, a man like Judge Rob-
Inson. whose every act in public life
has shown him to be independent,
conscientious and Just, long before
he ever came before the people of
this state with the plea to elect him
to the high office of governor, to
Cornwall, whom everybody knows
had his biggest asset in the primaries
in the support given him by the Wat
son coterle at Fairmont, and who
would get nowhere in this general
campaign If the big thumb on the
walls Of the arena of Marion county
once turned down or let up on the
grip 1t has taken on the whole lever
age Of the Democratic party. Tyler
countians know there's only one way
to fight that sort Of machine-to
smash 1t before 1t ever gets a chance
to start to grind on the people OF the
state. Afterwards, 1t is too late. So
watch Republicans in Tyler county
county roll up a bigger majority than
you have ever been able to find In the
official figures for past elections"
Expect Big Speakers.
AS stated. Tyler county Republic
caus know that two weeks of Hgor-
Gus campaigning, toward the end of
October, is all that is necessary here.
Plans have been talked over by the
county committeeman with the
speakers bureau at Clarksburg, and
It IS probable that some Of the best
of the Republican national talent
will come here late in the campaign,
possibly Senator Cummins, the big,
brainy man Of Iowa, and power in
the United States Senate for years.
Congressman Francis Burke, the man
from Pennsylvania that Democratic
lShho4S uAm dyS Wy W Keep IH6lI
voters away from, for fear Burke
will make staunch Republicans out
of them in twenty minutes of his
fiery eloquence, loaded with argu-
ment and logic, and II not these,
others equally interesting.
Hughes, 1t is confidently said here,
will get every Republican vote in
Tyler county. So will Howard suth-
erland and Harry woodward to back
UP Hughes In Congress and the SEN
ate. when Wilson hands over his
sheaf Of webbing policies to the man
who can make them something more
like the administration of great ma
ton than the dlBh-rng which has been
waving from the White House the
last four years.
Nobody doubts that Walter Burg
ess will put tho finishing touches to
McCuskey's political career in the
race for the state Senate, and Tyler
county Is prepared to do its share
in electing Burgess. AS usual, the
county will help maintain the Repub-
lican control in the House of Dele
gates to carry through the pol
icies Of Judge Robinson, and the
county ticket will have its regular
matoritles or better.
