any practices are being held. but as far
as can be learned no call for candi-

There is some question as TO whether

secured. The Harlan Field Is the only
enclosed playing field, and ii is doubt
full whether II is available.

PEOPLE WILL REBUKE ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT WILSON.

Fairmont, w. Va, Sept. 18.-That
the people of West Virginia will re-
sent suggestion of Singing rebuke
for President Wilson at the polls in
November is the opinion of Chairman
c. L. Shaver of the Democratic State
Executive Committee in an interview
today. Mr. Shaver said:
My attention has been called to a
bitter attack on President Wilson
made in the editorial columns of the
Wheeling Intelligencer, in which votes
are sought against Colonel Watson
for United States Senator and against
the Democratic Congressional candi-
dates as Singing rebuke' for GER
tain ignoble thoughts attributed to
President Wilson by this Wheeling
newspaper. do not intend at this
time to characterize this editorial ex-
preston as it should be and will be,
but cheerfully accept the challenge
made by the chief Republican state
organ as to the isSue~involved in this
campaign.
Il am tremendously impressed with
the patriotism of the men and women
of West Virginia as it finds expires
sion in every part of the State. There
seems to be a. general disposition
among our thinking people, Republi-
cans and Democrats alike, to sustain
President Wilson in his plans and
policies to do nothing to hamper or
harass him while he is bearing the
heavy burdens that the World War
brings upon his shoulders as Com
mander in Chief of our forces. The
suggestion now made that the Presi-
dents thoughts, words, and deeds, out
rageously misrepresented by the In
telligencer, should result in a sting
ing rebuke', in my opinion, will APP
peal only to narrow and hide bound
partisians. 1t will be resented, l am
sure, as infamous advice by patriotic
Republicans who stand with patriotic
Democrats determined that the Presi-
dent shall have full and united War
support precisely as Colonel Roose-
welt, President Harrison and other
leading Republicans ably and sue
cessfully argued for the support of
President Mckinley in the Spanish
American War. At this time among
pa...otic men of all parties, Sting
inr rebuke' for President Wilson at
the polls is unthinkable."
THE lntelligencers misrepresenta-
ton of the Parkersburg Democratic
gathering is less serious than its Of
Tense against the President. The i'm
mediate answer is our platform adopt
ed at that meeting which declares
that with full recognition of the 10y
atty and patriotism of men of every
political party, we appeal to the peo-
pie of West Virginia to join us in the
election of Senate and Congress
that the world will know we are in
active sympathy with the President
and the war"

The Domestic Political Object Of the
Wilson Letter,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: The
Presidents appeal for votes in support
OF his Administration. though addressed
10 his fellow couutrymen," is in reality
an appeal to his Republican fellow
countrymen TO desert their party In
favor OF the Democratic candidates.
No appeal would have been necessary
to the Democrats of the country because
they always vote the straight party
ticket. The only hope OF the Democratic
party In the forthcoming election for
Congressman is to divide the Republicans
by such propaganda as the President has
INDUCED In.
1t Is to be feared that some sympathet tic
Republicans will be caught In this cum
ningly devised trap, but let us hope
not enough of them to change the char
acter of the election very much.
There can be no question that a Re-
publican Congress will stand by the
President in all war measures more
effectively II anything than a Democratic
Congress.
The country generally Is getting pretty
tired of being ruled by a little bunch
OF Southern Democrats who have man.
aged to get absolute control Of the
House OF Representatives and partially
SO OF the Senate,
A majority of the voters are naturally
Republican and we should therefore have
Republican Congress properly TO repre-
sent the country. Let Republicans be-
ware OF the specious arguments put
forth to win over their votes for Demo
cratic candidates. NJ. 7. r.

On whom Has the President Leaned

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: !
am Republican. and after many events
OF the last few months I thank God
for II.
Kitchin, Dent, Champ Clark, Under
wood are all Democrats. They belong
to that party. They are typical Demo-
Gratis. and they have shown better than
the average Government official the
Democratic ideas OF government. They
are dangerous to the welfare of this
country not only during the war but
after IL.
Was 1t the Democrats who put the
selective draft law in operation? No
Was II the Democrats who gave our
soldiers decent wage for their work
No.
Has It been the Democrats who have
supported this war? No.
Are the Democrats the only ones pay
ing taxes and buying Liberty bonds and
War Savings Stamps? No.
Are the Democrats the only ones Sud-
porting the many organizations for the
henefit of our soldiers here and abroad
No
Is the Democratic party the only
one represented on the battlefelds OF
France by that great number of men
who are fighting and dying for Amer
Tea? No.
Would the President have been able
to get many necessary war measures
through Congress without the support OF
the Republicans? No.
And yet this appeal to the people OF
this country Put out the Republicans
and put in the Democrats is their plea
Politics is adjourned! Does that mean
Republican politics.
No. The American people will not be
deceived by this kind of business. Love
or country demands that I vote the
