MR.. DOLL WILL APPEAL
Contested Election Case to Go to
Supreme Court Of Appeal.
JUDGE FAULKNER'S DECISION
win be Reviewed by Court Of Last Resort
in West virginia-An Interesting
Case,

Mr.. II. w. Doll, through his attor-
neys, J. NJ. Woods and ID. G. Western
haver. this morning expressed his in
tention of appealing to the supreme
court of appeals of West Virginia Ill
the contested election case Of Doll
against Bender, which was heard by
Judge e. Boyd Faulkner in the
Berkeley Circuit court at the April
term, and which Judge Faulkner a few
DAYS ago decided in favor of Mr..
Bender
As is we'll known, Mr.. Bender aud
Mr.. Doll were opposing candidates for
the Office of clerk of the County court
of Berkeley county. at the election
held in November last. As the office
is the best in point of salary and
fees in the county, the contest be-
tween the candidates was spirited
one. Mr.. Bender had plurality of 4
on the face of the returns. A recount
of the ballots bv the board of election
supervisors increased this apparent
plurality to ii votes. During the re-
count there were l46 disputed ball
lots, and Mr.. Doll appealed from the
decision of the election supervisors
to the Circuit court. Judge Faulkner
reviewed the disputed ballots in very
exhaustive decision, and decided that
Mr.. Bender was elected by q plur-
atty of votes 1t is from this decis-
ion that Mr.. Dell appeals.
The record of the case will now go
to the supreme court of appeals. The
supreme court will then reject or
grant the appeal. If the appeal Il
granted. the case will be argued BY
biief. and whatever the deci sion is.
it will be final.

WEST VIRGINIA AT THE FAIR,
EDITORIAL ASSOCIATIONS no coss.
BrNE wiTn STATE DAY.
Meeting 10 he Held 20 swell the Grove
from This state jane 20,
1904.

In accordance with.the request made
bv President Francis of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. which was re-
ceived by the West Virginia commits
sion, urging that arrangements be
made for special dav at the exposi-
ton for the West Virginia Editorial
association, Secretary Winchester has
sent communication to the president
of that association requesting that he
nse his influence toward having the
next annual meeting of the association
held at the exposition.
West Virginia dav will occur on
June Goth. Secretary Manchester sug-
gested the idea of the Editorial asso-
citation having its DAYS just before or
Just after the state dav. This sugges-
ton will probably be made also to
other state organizations. The reason
for this, which is undoubtedly good
one, is that as many West Virginia
people as possible will be present.
The state is quite distance from
the exposition city and is considerably
smaller than many other states, and
for that reason il is necessary that as
many seople be there on that occasion
as possible. and make the showing
which the state justly deserves. Bv
the different state organizations trans
ferring their meetings in 1904 to that
place, and at the time mentioned,
this can easily he ACCOMPLISHED,
Railroad rates will probably be such
that the delegates of various organiza-
tions could go there for but very little
more expense than 1t would cost to go
to some points within the state. Con-
vention halls on the exposition
grounds. or in the city. will be fur
nished free Of cost
