To the Citizens OF Barbour Comfy
and West Virginia -
! may be condemned by many Of
my friends for my action, but / find
comfort in the fact that "a wise man
sometimes changes his mind while a
fool never does.' For many years I
have been classed as a Rebel Dem
ocrat and was proud Of the accusa-
tion. have come to the conclusion
that large number Of partisans are
so from the elastic laws of heredity
or accident Of birth, and oftimes
mans mind may be changed or
warped by falsehood. After careful
consideration OF Democracy, it's ira
ditions, practices and tactics and an
unbiased review Of its historical rec
ord blotted and stained with errors
and failure, | have decided that the
party has wandered so far from its
traditional history of freedom and
equality, that can no longer con-
>scientiously subscribe to its prin-
ciples in either county, state or ma
ton. And in the future | shall be
identified uncompromisingly with
the Republican party. in whose ranks
! shall work with as much vigor, as
] have in the Democratic party. i
am making this statement unsolicited
by any man or set Of men, and with
no more hope Of political reward, than
that which have received from the
Party of Promises" during 20 years
of active service.
1 might assign number Of reasons
for my action, and the few | give
herewith must not be taken as
child's apology-for owe no man or
set Of men that.
First: The Democratic Party is de-
cidely an "old mans" party, ruled by
pull and not merit, offering no re-
ward whatever to young men. As
evidence Of this ! ask the young men
OF Barbour County preparing to cast
their first votes, to note where the
"plums" Of Politics have fallen" and
what inducements are offered to the
young men growing up in the Demo-
cratic Party
Second, The spirit Of the Democrat
by foul means or fair, is contrary to
all rules Of Justice and is in opposi-
ic Party in the south to hold power
ton to a government Of the people,
for the people and by the people"
Third, The principles as well as the
leaders of the Party have become POI
litically "fossilized" and are years be-
hind the times with its prestige hang
ing in the balance, it is doomed to be
relegated to the past, when its prin-
ciples have become mere scraps of
paper"
Fourth, There is too much of the
Roman Eagle and British Lion in the
Democratic Party's idea Of govern
ment to long preserve American
ideals of Freedom and Justice.
Fifth, The sacred promises of the
Democratic party have not been, full
filled
Sixth, The constitution of the U. S.
gives me the privilege and right to
worship God as | chooset land to
change my mind without permission
of Political bosses
Yours for Republican Success for
the next so years,
