The Exponent recently carried n
news story of a Democratic meeting
held at Nashville at which ono nj
the chief spellbinders was Louis Il
Johnson, candidate for the House m
Delegates from this county. The
ENponent's reporter OF the Marshyille
rally declared that the hearers Or
Mr Johnson would look their won
derment at the facts compiled from
the states books in Charleston" and
y Is not wonderful that the said
hearers were struck with wonder
ment' at the figures produced by
HARRISON county's would-be lawmak-
er, for they were fearfully and won
derfully made. Here Is one OF the
questions propounded by Mr.. John
son TO his Democratic hearers at
Marshyille:
Did you know that the state SAL
ary list In West Virginia now
reached the enormous sum OF ST.
sol, 1912; that when Governor
Hatfield came into power the list to-
tailed only $116,S01.17. an increase
Of S1,6S4,396.15? Hove you seen
any such progress in West Virginia
that would merit such an enormous
expenditure for salaries alone?"
Naturally none or the hearers
knew or had seen anything OF the
I sort, for the statements about the
salary lists Of the two periods COM
pared in no way related to the actu-
al facts. It was such a clumsy falslty
/ the Marshvillc voters must real.

Of the statement.

They Look Invariably to the Past.
Have you noticed that Democratic
editors and speakers, and particular
~ Mr. Cornwell in his speeches, look
invariably to the past? You notice
that they avoid carefully any refer
cncc to the Republican platform or
the Democratic platform. Also that
they have nothing to say in criticism
of Judge Robinson as a man or as a
Republican. There is u reason for
this.
