viii Stay There until city Charter
Is Disposed of.
Bill Will pass. It's Claimed with
out Difficulty.

Charleston, w. Va; Feb. While
there is yet some opposition TO The.
Salem charter bill it does not seem 70
nave much.weieht, and the probabili-
~ is that the bill relating to that
charter will pass without any difiicul
~.
John NJ. Flanagan, one Of salem's
most prominent and substantial ctti=
Gems, headed sturdy aggregation OF
charter opponents that arrived here
today to join the standing force, COM
posed of Mayor w. d. Montgomery
and w. w. Jameson who have been
here since the Legislature convened
looking after the interests of theil
town.
Those in Mr.. Fianagan's party are
William N. May, George w. Il. Ran
dolph, George L. McKain, and Charles
Baker. MI, Baker is the editor and
proprietor OF the Salem Express which
publication has fought bravely for the
charter since the matter was introduce
ed to the public several months ago.
The forces have joined and will
fight the charter bill through with inn
mediate success, it tShelieved.
salemites, in the majority, are. pub
lie minded and want the material pro-
gress OF their towntto be generally ap-
preciated. The town as it is does not
show up as fayorably as it should.
1t does not include the Industrial sec
ton, which is considered the most i'm
portant part of the town. At present
this suburb is more thickly- populated
and important in the progress OF Sa.
lem than the town proper. The popu-
lation will almost be doubled with the
addition of the new section and the
town can then be shown in its entirety
and not as struggling village, as 1T
is now.
The delegation fayorlng the adop-
sion Of the charter is composed of the
towns bestcltizens, or those who have
made Salem what it is, thuse whu
have aided in bringing To the
town the industries of which 1t now
boasts. But these industries are not
located in the town proper and the
residents of the really active portion
arc not inside the corporation, as this
delegation, as well as the majority OF
the citizens contend they should be-.
With such men working for the
adoption OF the charter as those head.
ed by Mr.. Jameson. Mayor Montgom-
ery and Mr.: FIanarans there can be
but little doubt as TO the outcome oil
the charter bill. ~
Salem viii be expanded and will be.
come one of the most important bust
ness centres in West Virginia. But
TO become such, the charter us pro
posed will have to be adopted. Is the
contention of all Interested in the
welfare of the town.
