DEMOCRATIC HoPELEssNEss

Where are the Democrats Of 1916?
Why should the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor in West Virginia
practically go begging. and why should
tho Democratic nominations for minor
offices be considered OF so little value
that no one can be found seriously to
aspire to them:
Why should Democratic nominations
for important county offices in th@
county OF Ohio, for instance. be passed
around without a contest.
Why should there be such a lack OF
interest displayed relative 10 the pri-
mary on the part of former Demo
Gratis?
The shrinkage OF the Democratic
party the country over is unerringly in
Dictated by the Ater indifference and
hopelessness OF former party members.
We need not reply upon more or less
uncertain reports about thousands Of
Democrats who have declared that they
would no longer vote the Democratic
ticket, upon the breaking up Of the
solid South, or OF other indications of
Il general disintcgration OF the Democ-
racy. The lure of the offices is
always felt by men who think they
have a chance to win. The call Of the
jobs is heard just as clearly by Demo-
cratic aspirants as by Republicans.
The fact tina. the Democracy every
where is Indifferent to party organiza-
ton. lstless in response to party APP
peals. indicates what practical Demo-
Gratis think OF the chances Of party
success this year.

HON. JAMES z. HALL

Hon. James X. Hall OF Ohio county.
enjoys the unique distinction OF being
the only candidate for delegate at
large to the National Republican con-
vention. from tho entire first Congress
tonal district. Geographically Mr.. Hall
is entitled to special consideration. but
his claims do not rest on geography
alone. Mr.. Hall was one OF the Re-
publican leaders In this state. when
the state was being won for Republi-
canism. He did stalwart work in the
warm contest from 1892 to 1908. and
he still battles on occasions for simon
pure Republicanism. The Intolligencer
believes 1t would be just and grateful
thing for the Republicans OF West Vir-
ginia to confer on Mr.. Hall the honor
which he seeks.

Experience.

To the Republican voters:
On May 20 YOU will choose your NOM
inee for state auditor In making this
choice you will no doubt apply the bust
ness rule and select the one who has
practical knowledge OF the business he
asks to manage. The state auditor is
the head of eight important departments
namely: Insurance. corporation. fire mar
shall. land. blue sky. shcrirfs. criminal
claims and warrant. For more than
three years have been helping to man
age these departments. the last two
years as chief clerk. rcsigning thcrefrom
December 31st last. The knowledge
thus gained would be valuable to me as
auditor. and worth many thousands of
dollars TO the state. The high cost OF
government can only be prevented by So
lecting mon who are experienced IN the
business they seek to superintend. II

BUNK

The end Of wage demands by the rail-

cent demand for p minimum of $4,000
is nearly too astonishing to be taken
seriously. It would add a billion dol

roads and would increase the cost of
