ELECTION FRAUDS.

United States that the state and not the federal
have jurisdiction growing out of alleged
frauds at elections, far the case that originated in
this state concerned, brings end barefaced and
brutal effort to the of the federal Department
of Justice as club in party politics.
There never the slightest prospect that this action
would be sustained by the high court 1t was decided
adversely by the federal courts in which it originated Bu:
the Democratic politicians of West Virginan were able
to get the Department of Justice to go ahead with it
1t was fine exhibition of political black hand work for
administration that pretencs be actuaed by the high
est ideals to be concerned in. Mr.. Wilson INDUCES in
fine flights when he talks about letting the people of Mex
leo work their political problems and then the law
officers Of the government all of whom Democrats and
presumably weaded to the Democratic doctrine of states
rights, proceeds to attempt to interfere the local politics
of one CT the sovereign states.
This newspaper is firmly welded to the doctrine that
there nothing in the political life of the American people
important than clean elections. but believes just as
firmly that such actions the one which came to grief
