i WORD TO THE REPUBLICANS
OF BARBOUR COUNTY

)
est danger is within, from men
in High Places" Men who
are looking to self Qualification
men, who to satiate their lust
for vain glory, are willing to
sacrifice our "blood-bought lib
erty. ARE WE BLIND TO
THESE FACTS? Are we to be
beguiled by the Hydra faced,
Jimmie Cox?
The following incident will
show the wonderful versatility
Of Jimmie, and his resourceful-
ness. While walking down the
street in Cincinnati, the other
day, he met a seedy looking in
dividal who said, Jim, Pm wetl
As it was raining this was not
strange, so Cox answered, 't'So'm
l." Oh, DIM it | am for beer"
Som [" said Jimmie. So our
wouId-be president joggled
little farther on and met another
fellow who said, Jim, I'm dry"
Said Jim, Som / where can we
get a drink 2" ooh thunder"
said the man 3I'm for prohibit
ton" Som T. said our Jimmie
This put Jimmie thinking. He
stopped in a Badge factory and
designed the following as in
signals. If you are WET you
wear a miniature umbrella.
If you are DRY you wear a bun
Oh of grapes.
The above, while imaginary,
was suggested by a conversation,
| had with a Democrat-life long
acquaintance of Gov. Cox, who
said Cox has as many angles as
a ploygon.
Cox, may be able to fool part
of the people with his "Jekel
Hyde, game, but | am convinced
that a large majority of the
American people will refuse
to be fooled.
Perhaps you did not get your
personal choice as the nominee,
but that should not induce you
to leave the EAGLE. West Vir-
ginia must make good this time
by a majority of 10000, for the
G. 0. P.
1t is not generally known now
near w. Va. came to land
ing the presidential nominee in
the convention at Chicago. In
a conference of the leaders.
Howard Sutherland's was one of
three names under consideration
as a compromise candidate.
West Virginia, was the first
state, to break away from the
solid South and remain awav.
1t was generally known that
the Democrats would nominate
Cox, so it was agreed that Hard
ing was the logical man to beat
Jimmie.
One fact is clear that the De-
mocrats dare not refer to their
past record in this campaign
They will throw a mantel over
the past and deal in promises as
to what they will do if we will
trust them again. Will we do
1t! | think not. If we do. let
us take our medicine without
grumbling.
Cox says, Give us one more
chance, take large dose of DIR.
Wilson's Soothing syrup, and by
the Great Spirit of Gehosaphat
| will guarantee that the White
Dove of External Peace shall
hover over this terrestrial So
here from June to Eternity. )"
That we will reduce the III. C. L.
to such an extent that you will
never need any money, not even
to pay the tax-collector. eve
know that we did not keep YOU
out of war, that we have not re-
duced the H. G. L. but forget
that and vote for ME-" Will
you do it? ! hear the people
say in tones of thunder mo
NEVER"
The Two Men Take your Choice
Out in Ohio a man named Cox.
Is trying to land in the Presi-
dents BOX;
He says it is our only Saliva
| TION,
To swallow Wilson's League of
NATION.
AND
Out in Ohio man named
HARDING,
The peoples interest is a-guard-
| ing;
! Who says that while he's on the
station,
Wen never swallow any
