hour Of adjournment two jurors had
been obtained; Interest in this oase ID
intense, a. was plainly Indicated in the
large and impatient crowd demanding
admittanoe to the Labor Temple court
room. In spite Of the very disagreeable
weather there were many women in tho
waiting throng, and they fought for I'D.
vantageous seats with an earnestness
that displayed their desire TO get rs near
as possible TO the accused. "A force Of
patrolmen and deputies made partially
successful efforts to keep the crowd in
order, but tor AL they could do there
was lot Of jostling and pushing before
the curious crowd became seated.

Harry: Hayward was brought into
court between two deputy sheriffs. He
looked immediately neat and well
groomed from head to foot. His face
retained it's imperturable composure as
he entered the room and glanced around
at the mob that had gathered to see him.
Surveying the. audience fora moment
with an air Of amused disgust, Hayward
turned away and awaited the opening

WEST vIRe,NIA's OPPORTUNITY.

A Place on the National Ticket Would
Encourage Southern Republicans.
j. s-t The recent election furnishes an OPP
portunity that has not come to the Re-
publican party for 30 years. In view Of
the progress made by the Republican
party in the south it can now, in .
word, become more national than ever
For 80 years it has taken its candidates
on the presidential ticket from the
north. It can now, not only in its own
interests, but in the interests Of the
whole country, take the vice president
from the south. This would be q great
event in it's history. 1t would make 1t
the national party Of the country. If the
vice presidency should be given to the
south, we believe, in view Of the record
made by West Virginia in the recent
election, that she would be entitled to
name the candidate from among her
citizens.
The south would concede thus much
to West Virginia, as she is the first
southern state to declare unequivocally
for protection and Republicanism.
Everybody recognizes that West Vir-
ginia il now q pivotal state, and in the
election Of president occupies q com.
manding position. If the Republican
party wishes to extend its conquests
through the south, itoannot longer ignore
that section in making NATIONAL ticket.
West Virginia will be an Important fac
tor in the next national convention. Her
requests before that convention must
and will have careful consideration.
With the second place on the national
ticket filed by a citizen Of West Vir.
ginia, at least five more southern states
would follow her example in the recent
election. Inter- Mountain.

It is asserted by the militia officers that
