We have* repeatedly asked the
Telegraph whether it was in favor

arate coaches for whites and blacks
r R toas at last answered. Here is
| the answer, whir'll speaks for Itself:
»

l
Glasscock will not answer on the
■'Jim Crow” law. Will the people
vote for a candidate for the high
office of governor who la afraid to
announce his position on a question
so important?
l.ant winter Judge John S. llc
Donald, president of the Kanawha
county court, resigned nf‘er im
peachment proceedings had been in
stituted and after it was proven that
lie had a pecuniary interest In every
saloon in the county and had profit
ed to the extent of $18,000 In one
year from one saloon alone. Most
of men would retire from politics
upder such circumstances, but the
Kanawha county Republican com
mittee has placed the name of Judge
.McDonald on its list of speakers
and every night ho addresses the
voters at some school house and
tells them how they should vote
this fall. Verily, the Hog Combine
of Kanawha is a shameless bunch.
IU MMKLL CALLED DOWN.
When Del Hummel was trying to
impose on his hearers at Athens by
telling them that wherever the Dem
oerats had passed disfranchisement
laws they disfranchised as many
v bites as negroes, he was neatly
I failed down by one of the most sub
! stantial Republicans and best citi
zens of the town, Mr, James W.
Robinett, wh-o told him that he was
just as good a Republican as Mr.
Hummel ever flared to be and that
so far as his statement with re
gard to Virginia was concerned he
was misinformed. Not one white
voter in a thousand is disfranchised
in my old county in Virginia, said
-Vr. Robinett, and the negroes do
not vote there. Mr. Robinett Ib
nighly respected at Athens and ev
ery one who knows him knows that
he is thoroughly reliable.
WHO SHADD HULK?
Candidate Glasscock does not de
ny that he owes his nomination to
Senator Elkins.
Glasscock was nominated, not at
Charleston, but. at Halliehurst on
•Sunday before the Swisher ctovnmut
tee wlas called together to do the
bidding of Elkins.
Glasscock does not deny that he
has been the salaried attorney of
Elkins.
'1 he Scherr committee declared,
"that we recognize in the selection
of W e. Glasscock as the Republi
can candidate for governor, the di
rect personal selection of Senator
Elkina, at his dictation and for Ws
own bonflt, and for the perpetua
tion of his machine."
The Republican party had n«ofh
■ ng to do with the naming of Glass
cock as the party’s candidate.
Glasscock Is not the candidate of
the Republican party. He is not
even the candidate of the bosses,
lor be was rsatned by the boss.
'rhe finest.Ion *s 'shall the peo
P’e rule, or Elkins?”

Judge Taft says he will

field better qualified for the office
fit post master that Hamilton Mat

/■hancr wWh a white man for the
position if Judge Taft is elected?
la not Hooker Washington aw well
Miu*alifled for the posit of secretary
of commerce and labor as the man
* bo row holds the portfolio, and

■:twould nrA dare to appoint a

In is not.
In till* Issue wo publsh the in
: structl°n given by Judge James
[ French Strother to the grand Jury
1 .of McDowell county. Judge Stroth
j ier irtis shown a determination to
<nd the reign of lawlessness In Mc
Dowell county Iha«t 1h gratifying to
nil lover* of law and decency. He
will do hi* duty, we feel *ure of
that, and It now depends on the
• moral support of the good people
t if his county to w e that hi* ef
f< rt* are successful. People must
iteli what they know, otherwise
"r initials will go unwhlpt of justice.
It Is a patriotic duty of every good
citizen to aid the officers in enfor
cing the law. If every man does
his full duty, there will come a
time when the Saturday Kvenihg
IPost cannot point to McDowell
I ounty as the darkest criminal sjw»t
oil the face of the civil'zed globe,
as it did last March. Just Milnk of
Vt! Not a spot on earth where as
many men and women are convicted
oi crime, and yet remember that
that hundreds of criminals are nev
er caught and never brought to
trial. Judge Strother has almost
tilled the penitentiary since ho has
been on the bench, in spite of the
fact that hundreds of citizens are
afraid to testify against the crimi
nals. Let every man determine to
aid tin? officials in every way and
the dark blot will be removed from
the county.
W OLD TIMF ItFPUtLM \\\
TO T1IK VOTKILS OF M’lH>\VKLL
when we meet at the jmlla on
the 3rd day of next November wr
should ponder the matter well be
fore we register our votes. We
should think twice before we vote
once. We should not register our
vote against the Interest of our
country, our fnmll'.cs and our neigh
bors. We should try to vote for
good, honest men, that are not re
Hpectora of persons. Men who will
draw the line and make the rich
walk the same as the man of no
means. It is hard to look a man in
he l'aco nod tell what Is in his
heart, but we should use our best
judgment and vote for good, hon
est men; men that will give the
Democratic party justice as well as
the Republican party, for a Demo
crat’s family is as dear to him as
a Republican's family is dear to him
'and Justice is due to one as well
aB the* other. It is a duty we owe
to our country and ourselves. We
do not need two-faced men to rule
over us, for we know not what to
depend on when we have such men,
for we have men in this county that
are like a roaring lion, seeking
whom they may devour, and I think
If we find some rails In the fence
that are not sound it is our duty
to place sound ones in their places
before the fence falls and wo are
devoured. It seems as though the
fatted calf had been sla'in and there
are people that are trying <to de
vour it, and trying to blockade the
way to stop other parties from
coming to the feast, that have a
right to come, and I hope I will live
long enough to see cur fains hoisted
and the doors thrown open and
hear a free invitation to the feast.
The salvation of our country de
pends upon our independenee and
It behooves us not to listen at big,
flowery tales and for a few dri nks
of “red eye,” as they call it, or
party prejudice or other Influence
to register our votes at the polls
against our families, our neighbors
and our country’s Interests, for we
have bloody and deceitful hearted
men throughout this county. Now
is the time to rise in your might
and striko the chains of political
slavery from your limbs and pro
claim your manhood and your inde
pendence. MBBT ME AT THB
POLLS.
Yours for good government,
G. W. LOCKHART,
An Old-Time Republican.
There is some talk about Mr.
Bennett’s tnxes. Eteve Likins Is
^vo88>sh»o or some thirty millions,
4s rich enough to buy >a duke and
psy spot cn»sh for him, yet he pays
taxes on about $300,000. in other
•words he is taxed on about one
dollar of every hundred he owns.
•If the Republicans are gong to
talk about taxes why not do Rome
•talking about the real thing?
W hy not hold up the real horri
ble example they have In their own
ranks?
If they are looking for a apocl
nun bfat-dhe-assewior that makes
all others look a bad quarter they
•won’t have to go very far; they'll
•find the oxample teaching the Re.

THE LABOR VOTE
The laltor vote promises ho play
a large part n 1'he approaching
election. Kverywbeio the teudency
among laboring men Ik toward the
<democra*:c party. Thla 1m as >t
should "be for the democrats In
Hteir nut Until ,platform 'have* #»n
dorsed many progressive measures
wh nh lairing men have Ion* ask
ed, but which have been refused by
the republican part/.
In the state, too, the labor vote
should go to the Democratic candi
dates, because In its advocacy of
improved mining laws, anti-lnjunc
•tlon laws, employers’ liability Xiws,
the democratic party stands for
that which labor hnb Hong asked,
'but whlcTi has been refused by re
•publ leans. ,
• Louis Dennett, *the democratic
candidate for governor, at hhe re
float of the Labor Argus, the lead
ing labor paper of the 'State, out
lined h's views upon the tallowing
•questions tthat are of particular In
terest to laboring men:
Bonding Guards—“If permanent
'guards’ (such as employed In and
around mines and lumbering
camps), private detectives and rail
road police, nro employed as pence
officers, then I favor such perma
nent. ^Dicers being placed under
l*.uid and answetoble to tlio state
for their acts hhe same as regularly
elected peace officers.
' Mining 1-aws—"Unquesfionably
mining laws to protect life and
property should be enacted, and
then* should bo a rigid enforeemept
of same.
Employer’sLiablllty act—"I stand
on the democratic nattoiAal and
state platforms which call for an
equitable Employer’s Liability Act.
Free text books—“My experience
as a teacher in the common schools
of the state, and as principal -of tfhe
normal sclfool at Glenvillo, as well
«« vny general Interest in the free
school system of the state, Was con
vinced me of the need of an ’m
proved compulsory education law,
and free text books as soon as the
finances of the state will permit.
Free text betoks could 'have been
provided for before this time, ex
cept for tthe extravagance of the re
publican administrations.
G'cod roads and convict labor—
“No one knows better than I do of
the crying need of a l*.nv that will
guarantee the very best roads pos
sible throughout the sit ate. This
has been for years a special hobby
of mine, and I know of no /reater
blessing along progressive lines
which could be conferred upon our
people than to give them goo 1
roads. If elected governor I shall
rcc'ommcnd that convict laborers be
used In Improving our public roads
and thereby remove them from the
field of competition with free labor.
Injunction abuse—“A lnw to cor
rect the nbuso -of t'he injunction
pifocess in labor disputes has been
demanded by both national and
state platforms of 1110 democratic
party, and I stand on those plat
forms.
Honest ballot—“The enactment
of an election law that will guaran
tee the purity «of the ballot has been
demanded by t'he democratic party
for yeaTs. The fundamental prin
ciples of our entire political system
is based upon a fair and honest bal
lot and we should never cease
our efforts u,xtU wo have attained
it. This is a question which inter
ests the whble people and it should
not be an issue in t'hia campaign
were it not that the republican ma
chine oT tho state relies mainly up
on the Ignorant and vicious element
to maintain itself in jjjpwer. TM'.s
statement is not merely from a
democratic view-point 'but it is like
wise the statement lof *a large num
ber of the better element of the re
publicans of the state. In fac*.
many of the leading republican
newspapers, and men whose stand
ing is high tin that party, make bold
to e;o express tihemselves as one of
the reasons why they oppose the
election c/f a Swisher ticket. A large
and respectable element of the re
publican pbrty assert that the state
machine has made use of the igno
rant and enrruj^t element of that
party, and, too, tof the democrat':1
party to defeat the reform element
which dared oppose its wicked pur
poses. {‘barges of the gravest char
acter have iieen preferred and
proven by honest. republicans
•against the machine organization
and !ts corruid prnetlc* s tin con
tinue itself In power. But the nia
(Chine won, and in consequence
thereof the democratic party and
the reform element »>f the republl->
can party have to meet and oppose
a* the general election these and
other dlshjonest practices o'f the vna- j
chine. Thus the purity of the bnl
lot beeomes a political issue In this;
»a.ujf»ign. 'Hie work* ng people are
especlBlly interested In an honed
ballrit, because corrupt political ma
chines purchase the ignorant ami
vicious and oftlm»-s Illegal vo'ers
with which to nominate and elect
public of Deals who disregard the^
welfare of labor. FeePng thus se
cure by fhe barking of this element
within the party su<h officials make
bold to defy the demand of the bet- i
‘er eb imm /or n pure ballot and
hon< st. government.”
