The Daily Telegraph Editorial Board presents the consensus on current issues with Steve Smith as Publisher and Thomas A Colley as Executive Editor. The text includes a quotation on civil liberties and notes the Bible reference John 14:2 AV alongside the column's authorial stance.
The editorial argues redistricting for West Virginia’s 2001 state legislature risks Mercer County, noting past splits in Senate and House districts. It recalls 1991 changes that fractured Mercer into three House districts and two Senate districts, hurting unified county representation. The piece anticipates a candidate meeting to push for a united, stronger Mercer voice.
The piece notes the shift from scant local government coverage to dramatic national stories in 1900. It highlights the Mercer County sheriff murder, a 1900 election dominated by Republicans, a McDowell County poll worker gun duel, census criticisms, and enduring political debates. Charles Owens, assistant city editor, closes with reflections.
The piece critiques the Bush Gore race post convention, noting Bush's perceived myopia in policy focus on economic and tech revolutions, Clinton’s potential legislative disruption, and GOP struggles with selling their Contract With America. It cites TV ratings, Internet coverage flaws, and McCain’s foresight line. It ends with Iraq no-fly zone bombardments and costs.
Readers urge action as Clinton Gore Budget Bill reduces Medicare outpatient services and surgery by 20 to 50 percent. Hospitals face squeezed revenues, while elderly patients may forego needed procedures due to higher costs. They demand restoration of Medicare benefits and accountability from national politicians.
Will Lester reports that Democrats face a crunch as Gore aims to match Bush’s postconvention poll boost. Bush leads by double digits with gains among independents and women, while Democrats push to shape the race ahead of the August convention in Los Angeles.
