marriage. Thereupon Vaughan sus-
poets that she has formed an at
tachment with young Greek

The opening gun of the campaign in

created sensation and has kept the
Republicans busy explaining what he
said. His first half was devoted to o
Mandatory account OF his presence be-

opening shot was fired. He was Dewey's
chief advisor at that time. etc
The second half OF his speech was
what caused the sensation. After ex-
hausting his vocabulary in fulsome
praise Of Roosevelt in contrast he made
"a most venemous and malicious attack
on Mr.. Bryan. He described him as
sinking to the floor with fear, teeth
chattering when he received his COM

clared ''Mr. Bryan is the greatest ply

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
kannwha County Managers Aiming
to brow Attention From County
Affairs


Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, September
12.-The Republican managers in this
county being seized with nervous fear
of tremendous Democratic landslide
in Kanawha county are endeavoring to
avert the impending catastrophe by
turning the discussions on the stump
from county affairs to the issues of the
national campaign. To this end the Re-
publican, county committee is challeng-
ing, one by one, the Democratic county
candidates to joint discussion with the
Republican candidates. But the Demo-
cratic managers do not propose to allow
the Republicans to get away from full
discussion of county affairs. and there
fore they will not be in great hurry
for joint discussion on national affairs.
They do not care to discuss national
agairs till the county affairs have re-
ceived some attention. The joint dis
cussions so far proposed are between
Ex-Governor MaCCorkle and Malcolm
Jackson. Democratic and Republican
candidates, respectively, for the House
of Delegates. and between Jos. e. Chill
ton, Democrat, and S, B. Avis. Republic
can, candidates for prosecuting attor-
ney. In neither case does the Republi-
can candidate measure up in ability TO
the Democratic candidate, and therefore
the Democrats have nothing to fear
from Joint debates. = IL Il

. vote the Democratic
ne are now about as many
lPublican as Democratic speakers at
work under the direction OF the Demo-
cratic campaign committee, and they
I are really making more votes for the
Democratic ticket than the Democratic
speakers themselves, for the reason that
they can appeal with greater force to
those Republican voters who are not
satisfied with the present policy of the
Republican party and especially the
usual way of running affairs in political
primaries and conventions. Among
tnose who are making speeches for the
Democratic ticket or are booked to
speak between now and the close of the
campaign, are Capt. Patrick O'Ferrell,
who stumped the State for the Republi
can ticket in 1896, Rev d. w. Shaw OF
this city. the colored preacher, who
spoke for Mckinley four years ago,
Capt. Alex Mathews, OF Greenbrier, who
voted and worked FOR Mckinley in SO,
George j. Thompson, a prominent law
yer of Fayerte county, who has always
been a stauncA Republican, but who
came out .squa Nv for the Democratic
ticket recently, and Lewis Ballard of
Monroe, a life long Republican. In this
(kanawha) county, the leading Repub-
licans who have come out for the DEM
ocratic ticket are too numerous to men
ton. Among them are such influential
Republicans as Samuel c. Burdett, who
recently resigned the office of United
States District Attorney to take the
stump for the Democratic ticket; Cur
tbs B. Mcintosh, nominated by the Re
publicans for Justice of the Peace, but
declined the nomination because of the
rottenness in the party; ex-Sheriff Ro-
man Pickens, one of the most infiuen-
tial Republicans in the county; John

campaign is expected to become exceed
ingly interesting when all these emil
nent Republicans get on the stump to
tell the truth about their party. 1t is
no Iongef q question whether the Dem
ocrats will carry Fayette and Kanawha
counties. The only question now is as
to the size of the Democratic majorities
in these counties.
