State Libraries McDowell County Offers Good Opportunities for Negroes, Excellent Schools, high wages. There are a number of vital questions arising in the minds of the voters of West Virginia right now which no partisan Democratic newspaper, no paid Democratic spellbinder, no boodled ex-Democrat making his second or third bolt from one side to another and anxious to proclaim in the public prints his latest switch, and no Democratic candidate now pleading for office dare discuss above a whisper, even if then. And we may as well include in this array of interesting political talent, National Committeeman Clarence Wallet Watson himself. Among these questions, the following rank high in importance: Isn't John J. Cornwell the handpicked candidate and the political tool of C. W. Watson? Isn't he the choice of all of the Watson corporate interests, and a number of other big ones in sympathy with his scheme to secure control of the government of West Virginia? Isn't he the choice of all the big lobbyists, well known to the people of the State as employees of "an invisible government," who besiege every session of the Legislature, "set up" legislative candidates in advance of regular campaigns, and have had a part in every corruption which has dirtied the pages of our legislative history? Isn't Cornwell opposed to organized labor, and doesn't his official record as a State Senator, and his writings as an editor for years up to the very time his latest candidacy was announced, prove it unmistakably? Isn't C. W. Watson, whose control and absolute domination over him, catalogued as the worst and most successful opponent of unionism in West Virginia, entirely satisfied that Cornwell's record of many years as a fighter against union labor, and as a man who always and invariably takes "the Wall Street view," will continue in the future to think the same way and to act in accord with that line of thought? Isn't that one of many reasons which has secured for Cornwell the honor he sought from the Democratic party, and the support of Watson and certain predatory interests, not to mention the corrupt lobbyists, for his present candidacy? Isn't the government of the State of West Virginia threatened with Watsonization, and doesn't our political history from the legislative session of 1911 prove to us beyond all doubt that Watsonism and corruption are one and the same thing? Did not every Democratic newspaper in the State, every single one except three, namely, Senator Chilton's Gazette, O. S. McKinney's Times, and the late Charles Taney's Register, condemn Watsonism in 1911 in terms such as no Republican foe of it has ever exceeded, because they denounced it to the limit of a condemnatory vocabulary? Has Watsonism undergone any change since 1911 which would make it any the less odious to a people who are zealous in protecting their liberties? On the contrary, hasn't it grown as a menace since then as disclosed by it reaching out and completely dominating the organization of the Democratic party which is now entirely servile to it? Did it not dethrone an honored leader in its present scheme to get control of the of many years like Col. John T. McGraw, State government on November 7th? These are just a few of many questions of a similar kind which Republican speakers, Republican writers, and Republicans everywhere have been asking themselves and discussing with their friends and neighbors. These are questions which many a Democrat, who loves his State and his party as it used to be more than he does the Watsonized organization of his party as it now is, is seriously turning over in his mind. But no Democratic spellbinder has referred to them in his speeches. None dare do so. It is absolutely certain that in his series of letters asking young voters to vote to turn over their State government to him and his colleagues, to others to loan their automobiles on election day in behalf of his political schemes, to contribute of their meager means to help fasten his brand of indefensible and "invisible government" on themselves and their kin, and on their fellow citizens. National Committeeman Watson has in no way referred to the vital issues, which come home with startling directness to every family hearthstone in West Virginia, raised by the foregoing list of extremely pertinent questions. It is equally certain that he will not in any subsequent communications he may address to the voters in whatever form they may be issued. The same is true of his candidate for Governor, Cornwell. It applies with equal force to all other supporters of the odious doctrine of Watsonism, whether they have been paid with pelf, official preferment or glittering promises; whether they be party bolters, ex-Democrats returning to their first party love, mislead innocents, fools, or just plain grafters ranging in class from grand to petty political larcenists. These are questions that strike them dumb; from which they run to cover and seek a safe hiding. But there are, thank Almighty God! enough honest, decent and self-respecting people who do not belong to the various groups specifically referred to, who have settled these questions for themselves, and their dependents; for their freedom rights and liberties; and they have settled them right. They will cast their votes for Judge Ira E. Robinson and the entire Republic State Jicket The Mr Dowell Times. KETSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA, FRIDAY, NOV. 3, 1916 YOU ARE AMAN WITHOUT APARTY ALL CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR STAND FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE. SUFFRAGE PLANK IN ITS PLATFORM "We recommend the extension of the franchise to the women of the country by the states upon the same terms as to men." "The woman suffrage amendment has been submitted to the people and . . . this convention expresses its conviction that the amendment should be ratified." WILSON FAILS TO KEEP HIS WORD A Monumental Misfit-- A Theorist--A Self Contradictory Backdown take the high party place and honor which he held for its own chief apostle, kick out Lewis as chairman and substi tute the pliable "Pussyfool" Shaver, gather up the headquarters with one swoop of its ever-grasping maw and ship them to Fairmont in its private car over night? WHAT AND HOW HE HAS HU MILIATED THE AMERICAN President Wilson began his administration by surrounding himself with impartments. Men were selected for cabinet positions for political reasons and to say pre-eyre bargains, although they were admittedly unfit for the nations responsibilities imposed Doesn't this, and many other things well known to a public whose mind is alive to passing events, prove the absolute and unquestioned domination of Watsonism over the Democratic party organization, and many of the voters in the ranks of that party, but by no means all of them? American lives and national honor or land and sea have been unprotected. He waged war in Mexico in a manner that has stamped our people as cowards in the minds of the Mexicans. He demanded a salute to our flag and didn't get it; he went after Villa and didn't get him. And hasn't all that within the part it has so speedily throttled and so successfully corrupted, prove what man are contending now, that the election of the thoroughly and indubitably Watsonized Cornwell, who bears the Consolidated brand and rides to his meetings to voice his demagogic pleas for the votes of "the common people" he now so fervently professes to represent and befriend, on the praises of a railroad corporation he was up till very recently, if not now, a political legal agent for, will dethrone Watsonism in the governor's office at Charleston and the legislative halls of the State Capitol? He has allowed mexican bandits to obtain American arms with which theyacked our towns, killed our soldiers andnurred our citizens. He has not kept us out of war but hehas kept us unprepared to keep war out of America. He promised to reduce the number ofederal office holders and has added thirtybond to their number His pledges to reduce the cost of living can be measured today in the light of the highest prices ever known in our history. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, the expert note writer, the man who has done more to cause the countries of the world to ignore and insult us and to lose confidence in our boasted superiority as a country a blatantly guilty of having failed to keep the faith. In so doing he has shown himself a monumental misfit. His vacillation and self contradictory course in Mexico together with his lack of firmness in the early stages of the political fame, merit for him the American people's contempt and a repudiation at the colls by our vows the Democratic party. He fathered a tariff known as the Underwood Tariff Bill that threw hundreds of thousands of men out of work in the first months of his administration. The same tariff law is still in force and it will have the same disastrous results after the close of the present European war. Would not this, for one thing, crush the hopes of thousands of miners in West Virginia who have been fighting for, praying for, and hoping for the time when they can organize themselves and secure for themselves and their families the justice which results from collective bargaining on the part of employees with their employers, corporate and individual? Would not Watsonism use the military force, if necessary, from Charleston, as it directs armed force from Fairmont, to crush and stamp out the lax vocal vestigio of unionism in mining regions, railroad yards, along street car lines, and in big manufacturing establishments? A VOICE FROM THE GREAT ABOLITIONIST Isn't Watsonism now, as Editor Albert Sidney Johnston said in 1911 in his Monroe Watchman, a Democratic journal, it was dependent on "the sheer brute force of money" for its success? There is not a colored man or woman in West Virginia who does not hold sacred the memory of that great Abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. He whose voice and pen did so much to hasten the liberation of four millions of slaves. Time and again he risked his life during his agitation for the freedom of the colored race. Did it not in 1911, at Charleston, as Col. Thomas H. Dennis, the veteran and universally esteemed editor of the Democratic Greenburg Independent, said in that year it did, bring about a session of the Legislature which was "a saturnalia of debaucheur." Though long dead, William Lloyd Garrison's spirit survives in his daughter, Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard, of Dobbs Ferry. She is surely a daughter of her father and is, as was to be expected, a leader in the emancipation of her sisters of all races. The following letter from Mrs. Villard, addressed to the colored men of West Virginia, will be heeded by thousands of the race for which her great And is there any guarantee that it would not permanently establish that condition at Charleston should it succeed in its present scheme to get control of the State government on November 7th?

VA: "As the daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, the leader of the Abolitionist movement which resulted in the freezing of four million slaves, I wish to tell you how heartily he believed in the cause of Woman Suffrage and to urge you to vote for it without fail in the coming election. My father was among the very first men in America to urge the giving of the ballot to women, saying that the right to vote was a human, right and, therefore, belonged to women just as much as to men, and to men and women whether black or white. As far back as 1840 he, the leader of the delegation from the United States to the World's Anti-Slavery convention in London, refused to take us as or have anything to do with the proceedings because the American women delegates were not allowed to take part in the convention. Throughout his long fight for the colored people he fought steadily for woman suffrage, and when the colored men were enfranchised after the war he grieved over the fact that the women of the country received no political rights and were still classed with the means, the idiotic and the paupras. "When I think of the great services rendered to the cause of freedom of your race by women like Lydia Maria Child, Lucrestia Mott, Abby Kelly Foster, Lucy Stone and many others, it seems to me that every colored man in West Virginia owes it to their memory to vote to give all women the right of all free-souls—the right to vote. (Signed) "FANNY GARRISON VILLARD." MINGO COUNTY STRONG FOR REPUBLICAN TICKET BY OVER 500 MAJORITY The Republicans of Mingo county are getting together as one man and are determined to repudiate Democratic claims and take charges. The most enthusiastic over-flow meetings ever held are being held throughout Mingo county. Under the fearless leadership of Sheriff Greenaway Hatfield, supported ably by such other strong Republicans as Attorney York, Sturgess, Quessberry, Hou. Keatle and the editor of the Mingo Republican as well as a large army of other good Republicans, the Democratic walls of falsification, hypocracy and misrepresentation are being battered down like mole hills. The colored people, under the incarcerated leadership of such men as Mewra, George Foy, Wm. Campbell, Will Vaughn and Dr. J. M. Whittico, the colored voters who have always been loyal, are beaten as never before. They are all going to vote the Republican ticket straight. The presence of Rev. J. T. Gibbona of Clarkburg, secretary of the A. M. E. Conference of this state, and M. T. Whittico, editor of The McDowell Times, and the unprecedented enthusiasm, interest and patriotic zeal they put in the campaign by their fearless defense of the principles of the party, the rights on the race and protection of the poor, white and colored alike, had telling effects on the great serging crowds that heard them and followed up the meetings. The women are out campaigning and urging the men to stand up for their rights by going to the polla early and staying there late working and voting for the Republican party. Men like Meurs J. C. Green, Chief of Police at Malewan; Wallace Chafin, Republican nominee for commissioner of the county court; W. H. Thomas, Supt. of the Nycamore Coal Company and also the county commissioner; Mr. Staten and Wayne Dameron, all influential Republicans whose hearts are always on the right side, these men and others are preaching the unadulterated gospel of Republicanism and they are going to be elected.

CORNWELL BRANDS TWO EMINENT JEW LAWYERS AS "MUCKRAKERS" NOW ASKING HEBREW PEOPLE FOR SUPPORT HAS HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR? "He kept us out of war" is offered by the Democratic party as a statement of a supreme accomplishment. That slogan is false. To accept it without thought or reason is dangerous to the life of the nation. For months we have been conducting a border war with Mexico. At Vera Crus we demanded that our flag be saturated. The demand was refused. We landed troops; a battle followed. We withdrew without the salute, bringing nineteen of our dead with us and leaving our honor behind; and to this day the salute demanded has not been fired. The weakness of Mexico, not the strength of the United States, is all that has prevented our act of war from being turned into the serious fact of war. If the slaughter of American citizens men, women and children by armed troops, if the killing of American soldiers by the soldiers of another nation, if the sacking of our towns is not war, what is it? The Judge Advocate General of our army says it is war. The Mexicans say it is war. Wilson's acts show it is war, but Wilson's voice says it is peace. The truth is that it is no more than war. It is war without honor and murder without reparation. It is a condition that makes every true citizen ashamed of the spectacle we have become in the eyes of other nations. "A NATION WHICH DOES NOT PROTECT ITS OWN CITIZENS HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DIE." Governor Hatfield's HOME COMING WEL- COMED AND HON- ORED BY Twenty Thousand Men, Women and Children With Cheers and Yells of "Hurrah For Dr. Hatfield! Hurrah For Gov. Hatfield! The People's Friend."

Cornwell, Democratic candidate for Governor, in an editorial written by him in his newspaper, the Hampshire Review, of May 19, 1916, characterized Lions Bramble and Samuel Unterneper as "TWO MICRAKING JEW LAWYERS." Mr. Bramble has since been appointed by President Wilson to a place on the Supreme Court of the United States, and Mr. Unterneper is one of the distinguished lawyers of New York City. Cornwell gave vent to his spleen when the treasury department instituted, proceedings against the Riggs National Bank in Washington, and because of the participation of the government in the controversy, Cornwell took serious action. "Most of all we regret to see the case for the government turned over to two man taking laws, and the government's legal representatives. Attorney General Gregory and Solicitor General John W. Davis, pushed aside," said Cornwall. In giving his opinion of Brandon and Untermeyer, Cornwall wrote the following, which appeared in his paper of May 19, 1911. "Who are these content special lawyers? I love Brandon of Kidston, organized the United Shoe Machinery Company some years ago. Later, on an information formulated by him, it was indicated for restraining trade. He was employed to presume the case. The government spent $1,000,000 presenting this alleged trust. A few days ago the Circuit Court of Appeals, the three judges concerning, decided the company was not a trust and that it had been a great benefit to the manufacturers, as well as to the public who wears them. It took four years, however to get that decision, and it cost the company nearly half a million dollars. That is Mr. Bradley's style." "Named Intermeyer is written down in the Supreme Court reports of New Jersey as a cook," Chancellor Pitney, father of the present Associate Justice, saying rendered the opinion, Eich, smart and thriving for notoriety, he rubbed to Washington with a corps of photographers and clerks and tendered his services, with or without pay. He is a brilliant. "Be it said to the credit of Attorney General Gregory and Solicitor General Davis, they are not responsible for the employment of these two muckkers. They doubtless resent the employment of such special counsel." Williams and McVee employed them. Democratic hopeful, they shed tears and wonder where such a man comes from Greatest automobile parade filled with enthusiasm the Republicans ever seen in this state, over five miles long. Go from Welch to Northfork, where Democratic wails are their down and where converts are made by hundreds. Every town decorated with pictures of Hughes, Robinson, Cotterland and Cooper. A great love feast" a regular old camp meeting" Sonia meet sons—hearty touch hearts and everybody saying Hurry for the Republican party and may the whole ticket win. No factional differences apparent, road sides crowded to see Governor Hatfield, West Virginia's greatest statesman and Republican. (Continued on Page 1.) INTO THE GREAT BEYOND Died October 22, 1916.

BUEL SWOPE, of Welch BRAUD WALDRON, of Welch Beware The Modern Judas Iscariot Judas Iscariot betrayed the Son of God with a kiss, for 30 pieces of silver. Let the Negro voter at this election beware of modern Judas Iscariot. In the election campaign there are many of our race who are emulating the example of Judas. They will come to you with the covered blood money tingling in their pockets, and with pleasant smiles and honeyed words, seek to sduce you into taking the fatal step that will enable them to betray you into the hands of your most deadly enemy. Thousands of Negre voters were seduced four years ago, by leading men of our own race to vote for Wilson for President. They made the alluring promises of rich rewards that would come to them from the president if he was elected. We all know to our sorrow, the result of the deal. Both the innocent victim and the betrayer were betrayed by President Wilson, who has become famous for his broken piedges. No occupant of the White House was ever so false to all American ideals. No president before Wilson, ever stooped to the level of a Negro baiter. No other president ever debased that high office by putting the stamp of official approval upon the meanest and lowest of human passions, race hatred, by introducing the practice of seg- regation. In the departments of the government to insult, humiliate and brand as inferior the employes of the government, of the Negro race. Wilson has nothing but the utmost contempt for every member of the Negro race, but he is not too proud to ask for votes from those whom he has so signally wronged. He believes and has always believed in the doctrine that, "the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." But in his hypocritical self-righteousness, he acquits him self of any wrong doing. He acted in accordance with the ideals the slave holding regime, under which he was born and nurtured. Wilson I believes that his persecution and elimination of the Negro records with the popular sentiment of the day. Wilson is so saturated with race prejudice that he not only improves of his own reprisals against the race, but has deliberately inspired the heads of every arm of the government service to obey his example, and we may look for much worse persecution of the same kind if he is reelected. Early in his present administration, when a protest went to Washington against the unjust discrimination, made in the Post office Department in the promotion of Negro clerks, the reply came in unmistakable language, to the effect that: "Not only would the promotion of Negroes to positions where they would be the official superiors of white men, but that henceforth the policy of the administration would be to decrease the number of Negroes in the service." This means the gradual elimination of the Negro from the public service. Four years more o Wilson will mean the complete destruction of all the rights the Negro now has. Bills were introduced during the last Congress by the Democrats to strip the Negro bare of rights, and rest assured that they* will be revived and passed if the Democrats are returned to power Let the Negro voters "Beware of Greeks' bearing gifts." The betrayer makes his approach in many forms. One of the most seductive forms of approach is the gift in the form of "easy money." Unless you are very firm you may fall a victim to this bait. Don't be deceived by flattering promises and easy money, into selling your birthright for a mess of pottage. It may look easy to you to take some of this easy money to work for a (friendly) Democrat without sacrificing your principles, but thousands of the most intelligent men lose their vote at general elections, by scratching their ballots. HUGHES IS JUST TO THE NEGRO. Charles Evans Hughes has always been just and friendly in his attitude toward the Negro. His actions as Governor of New York and as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court have always been in accord with the traditions and policies of the Republican party. He has been bold and outspoken in his decisions as a Supreme Court Judge, and the Negro has received more favorable decisions from that tribunal since he has been on the bench, than during the previous fifty years. The Negro's cause was in safe hands when he was on the supreme bench and the interests of the Negro pace will be safe in his hands as President. The election of Hughes of Fairbanks will mean the restoration to the Negro of all of which Wilson and his associates have robbed him in the last four years, and give him an equal opportunity with other classes of citizens in the struggle for advancement. In the celebrated peonage case of Lonzo Bailey, Justice Hughes wrote a decision in which he interpreted the Thirteenth Amendment as, "A charter of universal for all persons, of whatever name or form, and all its badges and incidents; to render impossible any state of bondage, to make labor free, by prohibiting involuntary servitude. In any emergency Hughes as President could be relied upon to act with a high and noble purpose and decide justly, if our interests are at stake. He would not be controlled by any kind of prejudice, but would consider and weigh the evidence without regard to the race or color of the parties involved. As Negros we ask no more than justice, and this we are sure of under an administration presided over by Charles Evans Hughes. It is to every Negro voter to decide for himself whether he would prefer to have Hughes who will protect his rights of Wilson, who will destroy them as President for the next four years. PEOPLE OF M'DOWELL UNITED AND LOVE HATFIELD. The demonstration accorded Governor Hatfield at Northford and Welch Wednesday was the greatest ever witnessed in this county. Men and women from all walks of life mingled and paid tribute to the Governor of West Virginia, to Hon' H. D Hatfield, the statesman, to Dr H. D Hatfield, the friend of all the people. This was a personal tribute paid to a man who in his official capacity and in his private life has stood square upon all questions affecting the interest of the people. The people of McDowell county love Governor Hatfield. They are a unit in support of his administration. They are going to the polls on next Tuesday, Nov 7, in greater numbers than ever and vote the straight Republican ticket. Messrs. Cooper and Sutherland shared with the Governor the plaudits of the people. There is nodivision among Republicans in McDowell county. We are one and are united against our common enemy, the Democratic party. Hughes, Robinson, Cooper and Sutherland will receive 5,500 majority in this county. "GET OUT AND VOTE-DON'T STAY AT HOME There are some few men who are neither hot nor cold—who, at heart, want to do wrong, are talking idly about staying at home, going a hunting or fishing on the day of the election, and not vote. That kind of a man is a dangerous character to society, his home and his children. For any Republican, whether white or colored, to stay away from the polls and refuse to vote his principle means that he has sold that principle to the Democrat because it is the same thing as if he had openly voted the Democratic ticket. Voter, get out and vote your sentiment. Colored men, don't sell your political birthright for a mess of pottage by flirting with Democrat at the election next Tuesday. Vote a straight Republican ticket by marking a cross mark (X) in the circle under the Fagle. Wilson and the Democratic party don't expect the Negro vote this time, but if any old food or would-be "senible" Negro should be induced to vote the Democratic ticket, Wilson and his party will have more contempt for those who vote for him than ever, because he will realize that they (the Negroes) have no self-respect. And no one can respect the man who does not respect himself. Again, the Democratic party is the party that upheld slavery; the party that tried to assassinate the government; that segregated the Negro and if given another chance will repeal the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. Self preservation for yourselves and your posterity demands that you VOTE FOR The Nero who casts his ballot for the Democrat ticket in this election with an open record of crimes against the race does not only commit political suicide but deserves annihilation at the hands of his own people. STRAIGHT LET THE EAGLE SCRATCH VOTE FOR WOMAN. SUFFRAGE. Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator and friend of the Negro race, speaking of votes for women, said on one memorable occasion: "I go for all sharing the privileges the government who assist in bearing its burdens - by no means excluding women." Our people have never gone astray when they followed the words of their great and good friend, Abraham Lincoln. The most important question that has been decided in West Virginia since the Civil War is to be decided at the ballot box on November 7. Shall women have the right to vote? Lincoln said they should have. Is any other answer needed by the men and women of our race? Do the readers of this paper know that one of the principal reasons given by every one who opposes votes for women is that women of our race will also have the right to vote? Can it be possible that our men, knowing this to be the argument on the lips of every anti-speaker, will play into their hands to the extent of voting against the pending suffrage amendment? Our men know that it does not make women masculine to go out and work for wages. Why then should it make them masculine to vote? They know that thousands of our women do work. They know that one of the greatest protections to the laboring man is his ballot. They know that a greater percentage of our women work than of any other race. Why then should not they have the protection of the vote as have our men? AND THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET Every thinking voter will give these thoughts careful consideration before he cast his vote on the suffrage amendment next Tuesday. If he is honest with himself, and if he loves his wife, his mother, his sister and his sweetheart he will mark the cross in the square before the words "For Ratification of Female Suffrage Amendment," on the bottom of his ballot when he votes on November 7. We need the Presidency, the State and Congress to reclaim what we have lost in the last four years at the hands of the vasciling and self contradictory Democrats. Vote the Republican Ticket Straight Mark your ballot in the open public - make a cross (X) mark in the circle under the Eagle and if there is any scratching to do or to be done let the EAGLE scratch for you. Vote for Lest you forget, remember yet, "Abe Eircoln set you free;" "The Republican party is the ship, All else is the sea." PASSING OF OPEN SALOON FROM OLD VIRGINIA PEACEFUL HUGHES, ROBINSON, SUTHERLAND, COOPER Our civic rights can only be guaranteed by voting the Republican Ticket. Our children will be educated. our teachers will be well paid, our homes more elegantly beautified. we will live in less rags, the cost of living will not be so high and our chances for an equal standing in the market of life with a proper protection of our race will be secure if you vote Crowds on Richmond Streets Until Midnight But Were Mostly Good Natured Revelers. Richmond, Va., Oct. 31.—Virginia, the eighteenth state to ban the sale of intoxicating beverages, entered the prohibition list at midnight tonight, complete a dry area in the south reaching from Washington to Jacksonville to the eastward and from Washington to New Orleans to the west. The Straight Republican Ticket. Every colored fraternal order, without a single exception, is menaced by Democratic rule, prejudice and willful hate against us because of our loyalty to the party of the immortal martyrd Abraham Lincoln. Although a large part of the Old Dominion previously had been voted dry in local option elections, the new state law had the effect of closing more than 500 saloons, mostly in Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News, Lunchburg, Petefsburg, Oak and Bristol. Every law guaranteeing equal rights to our people was passed by Republicans and every law prohibiting equal rights was passed by Democrats. The law is said to be one of the most drastic ever passed by a state legislature. Under the measure no beverage except cider can be sold that shows a trace of alcohol, and possession of more than one gallon of whiskey, one gallon of wine or three gallons of beer would be regarded as prima facie evidence of intent to violate it. This provision probably will receive an early test in court, vast quantities of liquor having been stored in private homes during the past few days by those wishing to guard against future dry times. Lynching, Burning, Jim Crow, Segregation and Disfranchisement are the geo policies of the Democratic party A repeal of the 14th and 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been the life long ambition and struggle of Democratic U. S. Senators. These nefarious schemes to humiliate a weak and helpless race has been made a part of nearly every Democratic platform adopted in both state and national conventions. Hurt in Mines. Messrs. J. H. Page and Wm. Watkins, of Algoma, two of the best citizens in the county, both industries, met with very painful accidents in the Algoma mines last week by the fall of state.

HUGHES. | appeal to my fellow citizens that they shall elect Mr. Hughes and repudiate Mr. Witeen be cause only by eo doing can they eave America from that taint of Grose eeifishness and cowardice which we ewe to Mr. Wilsen’s substitution ef adreit elecutien for straightforward action. The permanent interests of the Amer. ican people tie, net in ease and comfort for the moment, ne mat- ter how obtained, as Mr. Wilson would teach us; but in reselute championship of the ideals of national and international dem- cratic duty, and in prepared- ness to make this championship effective by our strength. Presi- dent Wilson embodies in his per- ‘son that most dangerous dec- trine which teaches our people that when fronted with really formidable responsibilities we can shirk trouble and labor and risk, and avoid duty by the sim. ple process of drugging our souls with the narcotic of mean- ingles phrasemongering. Mr. Hughes, to the exact contrary, embodies the ideal of service rendered through conscientious effort in the face of danger and difficulty. Mr. Wilson turne hie words into deeds only if this can be achieved by adroit poltt- ical maneuvering, by bartering a debauched civil service for con- gressional votes on behalf of some measure which he had solemnly promised to oppose. Our own self-respect demands that we support the man of deeds done in the open against the man of furtive and shifting political maneuvers; the man of Service against the man whe whenever opposed by a danger- ous foe always takes refuge in empty elocution. — From the Speech of Col. Roosevelt at Sat- tle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes, GREAT GROWTH OF HUGHES exeelies. Genk tae Thirty thousand college alumni have enrolied so far in the Hughes National College League, S11 Pith avenue, New York. The oldest Uving kruduate of Brown University which graduated Governor Hughes, enrolled this week. He is Itev. John Hunt of Spriugtield, Ohio, piuety-three years old, Brown, 1522. ‘he league challenged the Woodrow Wilson College Men's Lengue this Week to Joim it in “having any repu: tuble audit company lu this city check up lumediately from the origina cards your uctual enrollments of Princetow alumni wud ours, your total enrollments and ours, aud your en rollments from uny college you muy Select und ours.” ‘The college men in the National Guard ulung the Mexican border are Joining tu droves, according to the officers of the leugue, and many have written In to sigulty their discontent with the Administration's handling ot the Mexican situation. William R. Moudy, son of Dwtgt: Lyman Moody, the fumons evangelist wrote to the league offering his as sivtance im East Northileld, Mass, and uid: “Iam among those who feel very strongly that it would be a National disaster to have the present Admin istration continued another seasoa feeling deeply the humiliation te which our country has been subjected im the sight of the worid, by the lack of any foreign policy, and by the vacillation of its dealings.” MR. WILSON TOOK PLEAS URE IN EXTENDING THE HAND OF WELCOME TO CARRANZA. One of these “uncivilized” acts was committed on Septem- ber 29th, when some of Carran- 32's soldiers captured an Ameri. can trooper, killed him and cut off hie head and ears. Exactly twenty days later, on October 19th, «Mr. Wilson expressed “pleasure” in informing Carran- za that he recognized him! Since the recognition, Carranza’e troops by his orders have treacherously attacked and mur- dered American soldiers on at least two occasions. If the acts above recited—which are merely samples of the course of con- duct Carranza has already pur- sved—do not constitute “In. trigue and assassination, treach- ery and violence,” then the words have lost their meaning. Mr. Wilson took “pleasure” in “extending the hand of wel- come” to Carranza, whose own hand is red with the blood of | murdered men and women of | hie own nation, and whose hands, unlike the hands of | Huerta, were also red with the diced of murdered Americans, of murdered American civilians, and of murdered American sol. diers wearing the American uni- form. But President Wilson cared as little for the deaths of these men ae he cared for the hener of the uniform. He with “pleas. ure” “extended the hand of welcome” to the man guilty of their murder —From the Speech of Colone! Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes.
