KINGWOOO, NOVEMBER 4.
The Anars leads—the Journnl must
follow.
Whan the Journal *'hollars’ ’ you may
bo mire The Arhus’ flatiron fell on its
corns.
Tho Journal should not lo so jealous
because The Arhus has such an excellent
corps of local correspondents.
The Arhus is deeply indebted to its
hosts of friends throughout the county
who are boosting its circulation. Don’t
worry in well doing, friends.
Will |the Hon. George Cookmau Stur
giss please obeerve that the Grant County
Press states that Senator L. J. Forman
will be u candidate for congress?
The Journal is hoping against hope
that the people will not discuss politics.
It is just self-conceited enough to think
that the ring and the machine should bo
allowed to run the politics of Preston.
With the people standing loyally hy
The Arous tlie Journal realizes that Bill
Dawson’s chances of lieing appointed
minister to China are on a par with the
reduction of taxes under “tax reform.”
All The A rocs asks Is that the people
of Preston county get together and nomi
nate and elect their public servants with
out dictation from an arrogant and inso
lent county ring. If the people will do
this The Aaots will feed that it has not
labored in vain.
Some one who has diagnosed the men
tal caliber of Postmaster Whctsell gives
out the information that it took the post
master two months to write the “edi
torials’’ in the last week's issue of the
organ. Horatio had better cut out the
diet of pie and try a little fish.
Tlie Journal amuses us when it talks
about Bill Dawson lieing appointed min
ister to China. His name will not be
considered for the post. As long as the
Virginia debt is in controversy Bill is go
to hold on to that $5,000 per year and
expenses. It is worth more than a buck
wheat crop to Bill. m
Here is one from a friend to The Ahovs
which it appreciates and believes tlie peo
ple of Preston will applaud. He says:
“The villainous attack of the Journal is
j tlie thing which is multiplying the friends
of Col. Bill Ijtvelle in Preston county. He
has been fighting the battles of the people
ever since he came among us. He has
never sought public office and lias always
steadfastly refused to allow the use of his
name for a public office. He could have
sold out to the ring and it would have
crowned him its king. But being the true
friend of the people he has scorned its
silver. AH honor to him.”
Boost The Argus.
This is meant for you, gentle reader, if
you are a friend of The A rocs. The great
est political battles that have ever lieen
fought will occur in 1910 and 1912. The
battles of 1910and 1912 willdecide whether
the people or the office-holders are to rule
this country. So far the victory has been
on the side of the office-holders who are
imbued with the idea that they arc the
masters of tlie people.
in* Attorn has enlist,-,! for the battles
of 1910 and 1912, but it is |K>wer)ess to
accomplish much unless it 1ms the earnest
support of the people. If given tlie proper
support it promises to do its part in
smashing tlie political cliques, rings, and
machines that the people may once more
rule. Tlie time has come when the peo
ple mnst quit quarreling over partisan
politics. We are all in tlie same boat and
the victims of the rings and tlie machines.
It matters not what politics you subscribe
to you must admit that you an* the vic
tims of tlie rings and tlie machines.
Yes, the people mnst get together. They
must cscliew partisan politics and enlist
under the same banner for a common
esose. The interests of the common peo
ple arc identical. Tins being strictly true,
why should they quarrel over politics?
When they do they an- simply making a
lot of monkeys out of themselves and tlie
office-holders are reaping tlie reward.
Can yon deny this?
As Thk Attorn has frequently stated, it
is n*A an an office-seeker and would not
awept tlie beet public office within the
gift of the people if it was qualified to fill
it. Its war Is against political cliques,
rin*, and machines, and clean politics
and n square deal for every man. If ymt
are with Tnr. Ajtotg in this fight it will
appreciate your assistance. When you as
sist Tiik Aar.t S you are l*lpiug tlx- cause
of good government. You should not
forget that this is YOUR fight, and the
way to carry the fight Into the enemy’s
camp is through tlie medium of an inde
pendent and unmuzzled press. Without
«»ch a medium you can’t hope to suc
ceed. This is why Tnz Aaot s appeals
40 you for assistance. As you am well
aware, the rings and machines are bit
terly opposed to Tnr Atun n and U* \ that
M k their arch enemy. In this they are
right.
Ho, good friends, get busy and send in
your subscriptions. Have your friends
•nd neighbors sutwcril*. The larger tlx
subscription list tlx> lietter Tar. A nor• will
be equipped U> figi.t Uie battle of the
people.
If the Hon. Oe'urgr- Cook man Sturgis*
and his friends over in Monongalia are
ta»b«arl with tlx- idea that tlx- Republican
ring in this county can elect a delegation
to even attend a corn hnsking frolic they
are sadly mistaken. Tlx- Republican in
■argents of Preset, are tlx: boys wlx» are
going to gatlier tlie pumpkin* wlien tlx-y
are ready to drop from tlx- vine. No
more pumpkin pie* for the ring in Urea
ton. That’s why Bill Dawson longs for
bis chop soey.
Wc Appoal to Reason.
The local ring atnl machine organ, the
R-t-'utuuy Journal, in ita last week's
issue devotes'a column to almsing a pri
vate citizen. Not able to iiuetThe Am.is
in a |>olitical discussion ami disprove the
many charges which it has preferred
against the ring and the machine, it had
to resort to personal vindication. As the
public is in nowise interested in the |>er
sonality of the Journal ami The A rots
we must eschew |>crsonalitica and up|M-al
to mason and the solier judgment of the
people, tin* taxpayers, and allow them to
lie the judges in the controversy.
Fir>t, the Journal told the taxpayers
that the new tax laws were intended to
reduce the taxes of the plain pcoplo and
increase* the taxes of the corporations,
and those who op|HM>d them were “tax
dodgers and corporation hirelings.” The
Arc.vs hits pointed out on several ocea
sions that tlic Standard Oil Company, the
greatest corporation in the United States,
w as asm-ssed the first year at $10,000,000
under the new tax laws, and the second
year at $3J,000,000, because* Senator Sam
B. Montgomery had introducc'd a bill to
place u production tax on coal, oil, and
gas, which was defeated by the friend* of
the Dawson administration. The Journal
never attempt'd to explaiu such an aa
sesBinent of the corporation, although it
claims to lx) the only genuine, all-wool
and yard wide reformer. The Standard
is now, wc believe, assessed at $->4,000,000
and the Journal ha* never raised its voice
in indignant protest, but meekly content*
itself by munching it* public pie. Wo
will hazard the guca* that the holding* of
the Standard in the state of West Vir
ginia cannot l>e bought for $‘j00,000,000.
So much for asHt'ssing the corporations nt
the “true and actual value.”
Second, when Bill Dawson was npjtcnl
ing to the people for their support he said
that if lie wus elected governor he w'ould
promise them a business-like and econom
ical administration. When Dawson wa*
editing the Journal he accused the Demo
cratic party of extruvagancc and high
taxes and declared the party should l>e
turned out of office. If Mr. Dawson’s
allegations were true then lie was entitled
to credit ami the thanks of the taxpayers.
But in order to decide whether Mr. Daw
son was correct in his allegations against
the Democratic party we must compare
the state appropriations for the four years
under the Democratic administration ami
the four years under the Dawson admin
istration and let the people decide whether
Mr. Dawson proved his allegations against
the Democratic party and fulfilled his
promise* to give the people "a business
like and economical administration." For
the four years under the MacCorklo (Dem
ocratic) administration the state appro
priations were $2,604,280. Under the four
years of the Dawson ("tax reform") ad
ministration they appropriated $<1,301,110,
or $3,000,830 MORE than the Democratic
administration, which Mr. Dawson sai.l
should lie turned out of oflice on account
of its extravagance! Now these* are the
facts, taken from the records at Charles
ton, and the Journal cannot deny them.
TitaAnucs has never attacked Mr. Daw
sou's personal character. It has dealt
with Mr. Dawson ns a public office-holder
and office-seeker. As taxpayers the |k*o
plo have a right to usk their public serv
ants to render an account of their stew
ardship, the Journal’s belief to the con
trary notwithstanding. If the public serv
ants have increased their burden of taxa
tion it is their prerogative to ask why
and call for an itemized statement of the
money expended and for what pur[iose. Is
there anything |**rsonal in this? This is
what Tiib Akops is endeavoring to do and
no one connected with it is a public
office-holder nor a public office-seeker,
something which the Journal canmH say
and keep within the bounds of truth. As
a public office-holder for twelve years it
is vitally concerned as to whether itxcorn
dodger, molasses, gravy, and buckwheat
cakes are in danger of being cut off- by
the people.
It has declared time and again that
tax reform" would reduee the people’s
taxes. So far it has not proven its decla
rations, and because it cannot it wants to
blame The Arocs. But The A nor* is
not going to allow its personal abuse and
villification of private citizens to liemud
die the controversy at issue. It will have
to meet the facts face to fact*, which is
likely to compel it to cat buckwheat cakes
ami surrender its public pie.
Avaunt, dear Horatio, avaunt!
The Arocs stands for the people*—tfie
Journal for the ring and the machine.
Of course Postmaster Who tael 1 imagine*
he knows who Tiik Aimirs correspondents
are, hut you can’t always tell hy the post
mark. This is an intelligent age.
A gentleman writing to Tiik Arm s says:
I have never had the pleasure of a per
sonal acquaintance with you, hut there is
one thing I want to tell you and that ia
that the people are going to give Tiik
Arm s credit for bursting the Republican
county ring wide open. I am a Repub
lican to the manor born, but I am now
heart and soul against the ring. And let
nie tell you the rotinty is full of such Re
publicans.'’
fs it any wonder the Journal ahnses

ARGUS POPULARITY CONTEST
IS NOT A GAME OF CHANCE
Case of Continuous Hustle If You Expect to
Be a Winner.
ANOTHER SPECIAL PRIZE SATURDAY A WEEK
Quite a Change in Standing of the Candidates-Chances
Still Good for Those Willing to Work-The
Business World Loves a Hustler.
The special prize offered by Tiik Amiis
to tlie contestants Mending in the greatest
number of new sulweribcrs by Saturday,
October 30, wm won by Sidna Cunning*
ham, of Brucclon Mills, with eleven new
names, and Stella Guthrie, of Brandon
ville, w ith six. Checks have been mailed
and our congratulations.
Ah there hcciiih to lie some question as
to the manner of counting votes, especial
ly among thsoe who have but recently
entered the contest, we republish the scale
of ballots: Cou|K>ns cut from the paper,
5 votes each; old suliscrilicrH renewing or
paying arrearages, 300 votes for every f l;
new snbscriliers, 500 votes.
The popularity contest and the race for
the Hcholarship is creating no end of ex
citement throughout the county. The
standing of the candidate's shows that.
Of course, it does not show the the true
standing of all the l>oyH, as many of them
have not cost their certificate votes, nor
will they until the last day. They are
going to play politics in this contest. They
are going to lie guided in a measure by
their dads, and if they do they are going
to come out on top, for there isn’t another
bunch of men in West Virginia that can
l>eat the politicians of Preston when it
comes to laying wires in that line of
work.
That’s right, boys; bo guided by your
dads, not only in politics, but in ALL
things. Get their opinion of the prizes
we are offering. There isn’t much use
saying anything about the business col
lege course, bccausoevcrylxsly knows the
Tri-State Business College of Cumberland
iH one of the VERY BEST in the country
and most any of you will appreciate the
$•>0 course that we are going to give you.
They do say that the publisher of Tiik
Auocs iH u lilx ral fellow on all occasions,
so in order to keep up that reputation he
is going to hand out to the l»oy or girl
who turns in the most new subscrilM'rs by
Saturday evening, November 13, THREE
DOLLARS IN MONEY', and to the one
who turns in the second highest numlier
he is going to give TWO DOLLARS IN
MONEY. This will be plenty fors|iend
ing on Thanksgiving Day, so get busy
ami got out among your friends and hus
tle.
Y ou wonder how he cun give away all
these prizes, and money, too, don’t you?
Well, to tell you the truth, WE CAN’T
A I* FORD IT, but we are doing it just
the same. We want to get a Bit. LIST
so that it will pay the Preston merchants
to advertise in Tiik Allots. That is where
a newspaper gets its money. That’s why
a newspaper can give valuable prizes for
subscriptions.
Another thing. This contest is not a
game of chance. It’s a game of hustle,
and the prizes go to the beat hustlers. So
if you want to set yourself up as a hus
tler, get busy—win one of these fine
prizes. You can’t all win—ONLY THE
BEST HUSTLERS. So if you should be
among the fortunate ones, would not that
mark you forever as a hustler? That rep
utation would do you good in after life,
for every business man LOVES A HUS
TLER.
Go ufter one of those money prizes now.
See all your friends. If they are VERY
GOOD f RI ENDS they will encourage you
to the extent of a year’s subscription. The
money will come in good just now and
the votes will help out amazingly for the
large prizes.
REMEMBER, IT WILL COST YOU
NOTHING TO BE A CANDIDATE.
