The Democrats at the national

leavily in every state. Even Iowa
.s now considered la the doubtful
list. Ohio and Indiana are now be

Roosevelt and Taft are as busy
.enylng campaign contributions at
b s time as Roosevelt was at this
me four years ago. At that time
bo public accepted his denial, only
o find him convicted by his own
jrrespondonce with Harrlman, and

The Mercer Republican is Idiotic
nough in its desperation over the
ortal.1 loss of the election to pub
• h a long list of prominent Ke
uhl cans, former Republican ofi
. .-holders, who aro now actively
supporting the Democratic ticket.
It is a roll of honor to which might
have been added the name* of three
itnes as many more. There are

held office when that party was
uuch more respectable than It is
low who are not supporting the
Democratic ticket.

“I'llK HIT 1)00 llOLDKltS.'’
Thu situation in Morcor and Mc
Dowell counties was so plainly and
intelligently set forth by .our North
iOrk correspondent .hat the Tele
graph fairly ho.v!c in its anger.
Here is what hurt: “If success In
pollt cs Is to Uo gained ut the ex
pense of morality and decency, I
ay smoke out those who aro re
pons ble for it.” Will the Tele
graph dare tell its white readers
hat the success of the Republican
ticket, in part at least, in the coun
ties of Mercer and McDowell, will
not bn gained at the expense of
morality and decency?" Has the
Telegraph over attempted to defend
Whyte, Rpling, Hatfield, Davis
Thorn or Alex Sutton? Will it da.
defend them and risk the condem
uation of Its own conscience? Will
it deny that Mr. Mann is putting up
money for their election (all ex
cept his friend Whyte, who was
forced off the t'cket)? Will it dare
deny that Mr. Mann is using all
the influence at his command to
eject the entire Republican ticket
and coercing his employes, whore
>ver lie can, to vote his ticket? The
oeader would not do Mr. Mann an
njustlce; it has nothing against
h m personally, but it does serious
.y object to having bis senatorial
imhitons thwart the will of the
white people of this section and
compel the white women an 1 cliil
Iren to ride with his coke oven
aegroes. Mr. Mann and his friends
.'-do In the Pullman, but the poor
miners who work for him cannot a’
ford that luxury. We are speaking
for them.
Mr. Roosevelt ex Dresses great
surprise that any one should be
ieve that the Standard Oil Com
pany would support the Republican
icket after all he lma done to
Standard Oil. What has ho done?
V federal judge imposed a flue of
>20,000,000 but t has never been
mllected aad never v.*Ill be. Another
federal judge set the fine aBile,
ind the president used some very
intemprate lauguag about “misscar
riago of Justice" etc., but the of
onding officials are still et libertj
and are supporting the heir appar
ent of Theodore. If they had been
*ent to Jail under the crlm nai
clause o5 the Sherman antl-trus
law the President would then have
aad some reason to refer to what
he had done to them. Mr. Roose
velt was able to “ fool all the eo
pie part of the time, and part of
the people all the time, but he
annot fool all tho people all the
time." Standard Oil stock has ad
vanced within the past yc'ar from
13 20 per share to $63c per share,
or nearly double. That is what
has been done to Standard Oil.
Mr. Tax-Payor, your money it

Itan campaign, and without your

yesterday, too drunk to help him
self. sa l another, and a high offi
cial of this county, too. was too
drunk a$er a mooting at Sprlngton
Friday night to remote h'.a shoes
on going to bed. He also had an
attack of nauaca. He spent the
night at the home of a respectable
citizen, who demanded that he
apologize to his wife for hi dis
graceful conduct and he apologized
to the lady by saying: “I am sorry
that blags alnt like you would like
to have had them.” This man la
drawing a salury of $2000 a year
roui the tux-payuru of Mercer coun
ty. His nomination was forced on
the Republican party of Mercer
county aga nst Its protest and his
election was secured by the collu
sion of corrupt election officials,
the Democratic (?) members of
which were picket up on election
day and who cheated the Demo
cratic nomlneo out of his election
because thhy hollered he was “dry.”
Only the great respect wo haro for
his man's wife prevents us from
expos ng him by ns me. The Re
publican machine ought not to be
surprised that the people are In re
r It and they need not ibo sur
prised further when they learn on
lection day that they canuo* steal
the election.
Th«» Republican speaker at Sp’-lng
ton Friday night did not report his
glorious meeting through the Tele
graph. The whites all got up and
left In d sgust and tbo physician
who accompanied him had the hu
miliation of seeing him vomit on
the bed at the home where ho was
entertained. Aru you going to fol

lie ticket HE helped to frame for
you, or w 11 you vote for Hancock
Walton, Neal, Pendleton, French,
Vermillion, Bruce, Peck and Thorn
ton, clean, honorable sober self-re
specting men, every one of them?
White Republicans or Mercer
tounty, you have a great opportu
nity on Tuesday to win a great
victory for honest government. Th»
Democratic state and county tick
ets must appeal to the Independent
voter, who believes In honesty and
economy in public expenditure and
in the right of the v/hUe tax-payer
to say who shall ail the cC ces In
state and county. The election oi
'.he Democratic ticket will he your
/ictory as much as ours. The Dem
ocratic ticket stands for the honest
white cltlzeushlp of the state and
for ths best in'sresi of the negro as
well. The Democratic party does
not solicit the negro vote. It lb
doneat w th the Bogro and makes
■lim no promise aside from a stric
enforcement of the law and a guar
intes of full protection of his prop
erty rights. Many of the most in
telligent negroes are tired of Re
publican promises, which have al
ways proven to be Iks. and have
announced their intent on of vot
ing with the Democrats this Tear.
In doing so they are acting sena'bly,
but they do It with tao full unler
fitandmg that the [>arty promises
them nothing but a just enforce
ment of the law. It asks nothing
of the negro; It promises him noth
ng. This is a whit* man’s state
and the white men are going to
rule it after the fourth of next
March. The worst element of the
itxiored racs has disfranchised
whites long enough.
The Wheeling Intelligencer, the
‘•ading Republican paper of Weal
Virginia, was telling party secrets a
ihor*. time ago. It is said: "The
question of Swlshor'a majority in
VIcDoweJl county there for* becomes
tho question, how many colored vo
cr from old Vlrg nla and North
'arollna can bo brought Into Mc
Dowell county on faction day, and
now many different places can they
be voted."
Both W'hyte and his "Jskyll and
Ilyjo" assoc ate on tho committee

I h**y ar« not all from Pocahontas

There Is Trouble ahead when th< y
attempt to to carry out the deal,
but they haYo only them*- Ives to
blame for whatever happens. The
white voters of Mcl/owell county do
not propose to bs bull doied, brow
beaten and disfranchised
The W'hcellng Intelligencer and
