Committee by the First Lady.
Prosecution of Wheeler was
due to just two things: his VIC
lation of the state law which
forbids anyone - even Com
munists who have no regard for
law-to vote twice in the same
election; and the intent of the
American Legion to put stop
to subersive activities and in

If Raleigh county who was made

Browder said Wheeler's con-

close to the White House.
Browder seems to forget how

WILLKIE CREATES
GOOD IMPRESSION

CHARLESTON, AUG. "a
Pilgrims to E,wood, Ind, return.
ing home indicate they were
much impressed by. the welcome
home address to Willkie by Sen.
James j. Davis of Pennsylvania,
who summed up in this way
some of the reasons the people
will put Willkie in the White
House next November:
Wendell Willkie understands
the large city; he lives in one.
Wendell Willkie understands
the American farm; he own one.
Wendell Willkk understands
little business; he built one.
wendell Willkie understands
big business; he has managed
one.
Wendell Willkie understands
organized labor in all it's branch
es; he has worked successfully
with all who toll.
Wendell Willkie understands
the problems of the Americana
veteran; he is one"

WHY HIGH TAXES?

ApolOgiStS for the New Deal
brag that state payrollS are the
highest in history an would have
the public believe that the New
Deal has restored prosperity.
If that be true what justiiica-
ton has the New Deal for spend
ing billions of dollars still nat
tionally for politicalized relief
and WPA. while the state spends
millions for relief?
Much of that money is not
needed for anything but the
army of payrollers; much of that
IS simply wasted; some of it
If course, finally gets into the
hands of the destitute. We are
speaking now only of the waste.
Last winter the State Depart
mcnt of Public Assistance stern
" warned that all relief clients
would have to make gardens or
they would not get any more
aid. "NO garden-no relief. "
That was the ultimatum. You
remember it.
| Last week great quantities OF
potatoes were brought into
Morgan county and distributed
to relief clients, although loca'
citizens had been digging and
eating their own potatoes for
three weeks. Local conditions
for the growing Of potatoes were
the best in years.
Absurd as was this waste of
money, even more absurd was
the importation into Morgan last
week of tons of fresh tomatoes
Morgan, says the Morgan Mess
cnger is the center of the tomato
growing in this state. 1t holds
Tomato Festival to prove it.
Yet even as the citizens there
are finding their own tomatoes,
| in their own gardens, growing
50 abundantly and lusciously
that they didn't know what to
do with them all, the DEA inn
ported tomatoes from Tennessee
for relief clients. If the tax
payers want to pay for waste
like this, they should never a
gain complain about taxes!

DAWSON AND KAY
WENT TO ELWOOD

CHARLESTON w. Va, Aug.
19.-Daniel Boone Dawson, Re-
publican nominee for Governor,
accompanied by Robert H. c.
Kay state chairman was one Of
the many party leaders to leave
here the day after one of the
most successful state .conven-
ions the party ever held for
Ilwood, Indiana, to attend the
notification ceremonies of Wen
Tell L. Willkie.
Dawson and Kay planned to
ly back Sunday by way of
Cincinnati where they will meet
Senator Robert A. Taft, of Ohio,
md come with him here enroute
o the Lilly family Reunion at
Flat Top where both Dawson
and Taft are scheduled to speak
Sunday afternoon.
From reports available at the
state campaign headquarters,
it is apparent that thousands
of West Virginians, Democrats
as well as Republicans, made
the trek to Indiana, though it
is probable that none went with
a greater enthusiasm for Will
kie than Dawson who never
loses an opportunity to praise
the Republican Presidential
nominee.

PREAMBLE

Mountainous are always free
men.
The time has come for West
Virginians to demonstrate that
his state motto is no mere idle
boast.
We are faced, in state and
Nation, with an issue unmatcn-
ID in gravity since 1860.
In the nation, that issue Is
whether we shall surrender to
state Socialism, or return TO the
American Way.
In the state the issue is
whether we shall yield to the
same forces, or rise to the chal-
cngc as BELTS a Commonwealth
,orn in the travail Of Nation
lighting for existence.
1t Is q time when prcSerVa-
ion Of the America we have
inown and revere overshadOws
very other consideration
There are abuses and weak
lesscs i'm the State Government.
These abuses we will remove if
entrusted with authority. These
weak spots we will strengthen.
