The Kanawha Gazette does not take
kindly to the proposition to have
political speaking on the Fairgrounds
during the Fair. 1t says:
ave were under the impression
thatagricultural fairs were non-polit-
ical IN their character, and that
everything having a political or par
tisan character was carefully and
properly excluded from their exer-

mistaken, and that Mason county is
going to permit an innovation, in
that regard, which may be very
agreeable to some Of her citizens,
but decidedly otherwise with the
sentiments and opinions of these at

who had expected to participate in a
good old-fashioned county fair
Whether any prize is awarded to the
best political speech does not appear
in the published pamphlet of the
Mason County Society. We would
be glad to know if it is to be a "free
for all" political occasion, or simply
a special courtesy accorded to the
Greenback candidate for President"
