BREAD AND WATER DIE 4
Does not Agree With Umbrella Member
Freak Camping in County Jail.

An old umbrella mender who had
saved enough to purchase bad jag
and was enjoying it in a most dlsor-
derly manner, was arrested the other
day, and put in jail to serve sentence
of 10 days on bread and water, impos-
ed by Mayor McGrew.
Sheriff Core allowed him some lib
critics. He was not placed in cell,
and when meals were brought to the
other prisoners, he did not wait for an
invitation, but cut in, and got the
rations of two men. Then the sentence
was carried out to the letter. He was
locked up in a CELL and his bread and
water diet strictly administered.
Then the fun began. The umbrel
la member rayed, preached and ana
thematzed the state, county, and city
officers, mayor, jailor, and the whole
system Of government under which
man could be put in jail on bread
and water, He has torn his clothes
to shreds, and is now as naked as a
Greek Statue, The bread and water
diet continues, however, and it is
thought his refractory spirit will be
subdued before the sentence expires.

WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS
Hot Fight for Republican Nomi

Dawson aud Teter Leading Primary
Plan Suggested BY Senator Scott for
Nomination of United States senator
Little Fellows who are after some
of the Plums.

of the Plums.
A hot race for governor of West Vir-
ginia is in prospect, most of the fight
ing at present being over the nominal
ton OF republican candidate to sue
coed Governor White. w. NJ. O..
Dawson aud Charles f. Teter appear
to be the leaders in the race, for which
there were not long ago six candidates.
Mr.. Dorr is still in the race and also
has considerable following.
Tax reform is the burning issue, and
ranking with this is the attitude of
the state toward corporations, which
have become very powerful in West
Virginia, and have an even greater in
f1uence on politics than they have in
most other states. Governor White,
who is strong supporter of Dawson,
declares that ssproblems Of taxation
are not solved by suppression, and
he will discuss the question all over
the state. The fight centers around
the report of the tax commission.
The governor is expected to expose
the success Of corporate interests in
strangling the tax bills in the last leg
islature.
Writing Of the situation, Mr.. John
Wallace the Wheeling correspondent,
says: sSkillful attorneys who played
a part in the aforesaid suppression are
still at work, and, fearing a governor
who will be committed to the tax COM
missions views, are again directing
movement which will successfully re
sist their enactment into laws. mas
much. as w. M. O. Dawson, the gov
ernor's right-hand man, wants to be
governor, and stands with him on the
tax platform. The railroad, coal, oil
and gas corporations are planning to
beat Dawson. While Dawson is thus
feared. Charles +. Teter, his leading
opponent, is correspondingly favored.
Back of Dawson is some of the best
political talent in the state. Teter
signed the tax protest against the
commissions recommendations.
Mr.. Charles Swisher, of Marion,
says that he will not be candidate
for governor, but will run for secretary
Of state. Judge Mason states positive
ly he will not be candidate before
the convention. 1t is presumed that
Arnold Seherr will go after the
authorship again, which ends his
chances for the goyernorship.
Republican State Cairman Dawson
has sent letters to Messrs. Caldwell and
Schmulbaeh, asking what they think
Of the state primary plan to decide the
United States Senatorship which has
been suggested by Senator Scott and
the state committee will be guided by
the answers received. The Scott sug-
gestion is patterned after the Missis-.

certain.
