Meade, Hi Meade. Franlc Jackson, Joshua Stealey and Charles W. Davenport know this to be a fact and will so testify." The Democratic Times has the. cheek and gall to say what appears above in the face of the fact that every Southern State where the Democrats are in control has disfranchised the negro. It is not forgotten that the Democrats of this State were prevented from resolving for a white man's party by a telegram from Dave Hill, of New York, to Ilonry Gassaway Davis, saying such a step would hurt the party in the doubtful States of the North. Mr. Davis is now the leadng Democrat in the State. While the convention which nominated Jomwell was in session, and when ne negro quesiiuii was uuuer ouiii-nujration, the Wheeling Register, the Democratic organ of tlie State, said: "Senator Davis is as much in favor jf negro disfranchisement as any one n the State but fears a declaration n the party platform would be bad jolicy." Yes. it would have been bad policy, tut when the Democrats set control >f this State negro disfranchisement vill follow just so sure as night sue:eeds day. The interests of Henry G. Davis and tohn J. Cornwell are merely a side ssue with Boss McGrav in this cam- 1 taign. They are on the ticket and de- j nand some of his attention as State :l:airman, National committeeman and < reneral manager of the Democratic I jarty in West Virginia. But his real :oncern is for the I-egisiature. He < vants that badly because he is anxious o go to the United States Senate. Phat is the goal of his ambition and . javis and Cornwell may go to the lemnition bow-wows l[ he can only : ;et it. Boss McGrav is making a :till hunt for the Deglslature. He is 1 :onducting a subterranean canvass for j egislative candidates.- He is playing he brass bands for Davis and Cornrell but he is doing real work for the ^ legislature. Republicans ought to be n their guard against it and not be I eceived as to the real situation. Sup- ^ ort your legislative candidates and on t be misled by any .Democratic ^ leas. The issue is clear cut between Icott and McGraw and the Repubiian who supports a Democrat for the egislature votes not only against he new tax laws but against Senair Scott, Don't let Boss McGraw into re Senate, ^eep N. B, Scott there. When the West Virginian and the iterie of bosses in the Jacobs buildig find they are whipped they start le cry of fraud.?Times. Being so well acquainted with the c emocratic perpetrators of fraud, ell remembering the many crimes ley have committed against the balit, it behooves lis to lie on the loolcit for campaign lies and frauds and > caution our party friends in regard ? i such things. Being thus watchful jesn't mean that we are whipped, j>g rt that the other fellows will be rj locked out so completely next Tties- ji ly as to be unrecognizable. tr No Democratic candidate for Con ess can deny that every good piece . legislation. on the statute books is: been opposed by Democratic it mgressmen. si HOMELESS FO C3-, *== ^ ^=s . wr? _ ^ ?=$e> ^ ^ ^ & mmm^amKmmmstaasBgBaaBmssaaasiswaEmtaaa rings of the Lost O Political Desert DID YOU EVER?

One of the most silly and ill-advised campaign documents ^that has come to our notice is a letter that AY. H.

All druggists. W. H. Bailey, John T. McGraw's candidate for State Senator in this district, is distributing cards among the people, one side of which is full of misrepresentations. Here is a sam pie: "This tax measure was passed by a Republican Legislature, being framed by corporation lawyers and are 1 corrupt measures as they will greatly increase the taxes of the farmer, the laborer and the small property owner and leave the large corporations practically where they were; hence the burden of wrong rests on the Republican party."' Now won't this disgust all intelligent men?all, intelligent farmers, la- ' borers and small property owners, " who know that it is-the corporations . that are leading in the fight against the tax measures?that are moving heaven and earth, as it were, to defeat Mr. Dawson for governor, be- ( lieving that with Cornwell at the ( head of affairs he would disregard - che new laws so lar as he could and-to the extent chat they would not accomplish the objects in view?the lightening of the tax burdens. Besides the election of Cornwell the corporations want a Democratic f Legislature, as all Democratic legislative candidates stand pledged to repeal the laws. Bailey, of Grafton, McGraw's Senatorial candidate, says an his card: "If you- vote for me and the other Democratic nominees of the ^ State and counties you vote to repeal these unjust measures." Do the farmers, laborers and small property jwners believe any corporation is nore interested in them than in itself? It can be set down as a certainly that all corporations see that they ire to pgy a just proportion of taxes Hereafter?a thing they have not been -equired to do heretofore?and if by ^ he election of Cornwell and a Demo:ratic Legislature they can effect the epeal of the laws, as they certainly ,vill, they will continue to grow fat vhile the tax burdens will remain on he shoulders of the poorer class?the armers, laborers and the small prop;rty owners?as has been the case rom time immemorial. F, VOTE RIGHT. The Supreme Court of West Vir- rinia has decided that your ballot oust be all in one column to be ounted. The safest, surest way to lave it counted is not to try to change t. Vote the straight ticket, running , line down through all columns exept the Republican and then you are j ertain to have it right. Many bal- jj "if ci W hi r? V) flro COT-O tohnrl ovr-v 6 ause the intent of the voter is not j? lain. Vote straight and make the _ Lepublican victory decisive. REMEMBER ON NOVEMBER 8. 01 .That the Republican party in the latiori stands for protection and ound money, progress and prosperity. That the Republican party in the tate stands for tax equalization and ome rule in taxation, honest and efcient government. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote for rotection, progress and plenty. A vote for Dawson is a vote for q? wer and jusler taxation and good jvernment. The ladies of the P. E.
