According to this version. a Japanese bat
terry fired on the two companies when the

According to this same version, General

Ths status In weat vIralnIa.

From the PittsburR Times.
The campaign IS tn full blast In West
Virginia. The electors OF the state
have had an opportunity TO judge for
themselves concerning the Vice-Presi-
Dental candidate OF the Republican
party. and his opponent OF the Demo-
cratic cause has himself touched the
match to the opening gun Of what is
essentially his own campaign. The
meeting at Wheeling where Mr.. Davis
was the central figure had its element
of interest for the upholders Of both
creeds. In attendance and enthusiasm
II fell short Of the Republican gather
ing at Parkersburg, but IT was as full
OF Significance. revealing, as It did to
an extraordinary degree, the plans and
hopes of the Democrats with regard to
the Mountain state.
The Democrats make no secret of
their purpose to carry the State at any
cost. They are under the necessity OF
iustifying the nomination of Mr.. Davis
as the only man who could carry West
Virginia. and 20 this end they propose
to sacrifice If needful their state,
Congressional and Legislative oandi-
dates. The seven electoral votes OF
the Commonwealth are the trophy for
which they are striving. and on this,
at least there is marked unanimity
among the leaders and workers alike.
Votes will be traded, II advantage
seems possible thereby and the pros
pect OF reward I'm the remote event Of
Democratic success i'm the nation has
been deemed sufficient for the effort
that viii have to be made.

This acute interest in the new way OF

tains a patriotic fervor which sweeps
away all thought of personal interest
and concentrates all her force in her

Emperors feet or the coolie contributes
three quarters of the price he OBJ
