PLANS TO BEAT PARKER.

!. There are several plans to, prevent
Judge Parker from getting the. Demo-
cratic nomination for President. One
of them is to get the convention in a
deadlock and then stampede it to Mr.
Cleveland. If Hearst stands with Bryan
the staDnpeding plan would hardly be a
success, as they would do their utmost
against Mr. Cleveland. Against both
of them Mr.. Cleveland has. said enough
to make them his bitter enemies.
Then there is Mr.. Murphy's plan to
make the platform so radical that
Judge Parker would refuse to stand
upon it. If Judge Parker has enough
delegates to nominate him he will have
enough friends on the Committee on
Resolutions to make a. platform that
will be satisfactory to him. There is
not, therefore, much to be hoped for
from that plan.
The plan. however, upon which the
greatest reliance is placed is that
which is associated with what is called
the German Guffey Hearst -Tammany
combination. According to this plan
Senator German Is, to be nominated for
President, and Mr.. Charles A. Towne
for Vice President. Mr.. Towne was
a Silver Republican in 1896, and cam
didate for Vice President on the Popu-
Hearst has agreed to throw his in
structed delegates to Mr.. German, and
that Mr.. Bryan will lend the combi-
nation a helping hand because of his
friendship for Mr.. Towne. Mr.. Cuff
fey is placed in the combination be-
position to give Pennsylvania sixty
eight votes to the candidate he favors.
The trouble with this combination is
that there is no sympathy between
Mr.. German and Mr.. Hearst. 1t was
the former who was instrumental in
having the meeting place of the Ma
tional Convention changed from Chi
oago to St. Louis because of his hos
tility to the latter. 1t is hardly reason
able, therefore, to suppose Mr.. Hearst
would help Mr.. German to the nomi-
nation. And Mr.. Bryan couldn't be
induced to take any step that would
contribute to the political advancement
of Mr.. German.
When genuine combination against
Judge Parker is formed the fact will
be SO authoritatively known that there
win be no question about it. In the
meantime platform is being prepared
for Judge Parker. 1t will be submit
ted to him. it is said. this week. His
friends think there is no doubt of his
nomination.

The mention of Mr.. Cleveland. for
President in the Georgia Legislature
yesterday, is said to have resulted in
a considerable demonstration and a
good deal Of commotion. There was
a lot of shouting for Cleveland, and
much Parker sentiment was manifest
ed. But there seems to have been an
absence of any shouting for Bryan or
Organism. In 1896 and 1900 Mr.. Bryan
was cordially and Loyalty supported by
the Georgia Democracy; now the DEM
ocrats of this state have very lit
tie to say about him. The rea-
son is that they are conservative, and
want to see the party win in the next
election. Mr.. Cleveland has great
many warm admirers in Georgia, but
he is insisting that he is out of political
affairs.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the

germs. The Importance of this dis
covery by Prof. Unna, of the Charity
Hospital Hamburg, Germany, can not
be overestimated. 1t explains why or
binary hair preparations, even of the
most expensive character, fail to cure
dandruff; because they do not, and
they cannot kill the dandruff germ.
The only hair preparation in the
world that positively destroys the dan

ton. l do not suppose will win, be-
cause if many can see as far as I
think I can, Mr.. Roosevelt's vote will
be much larger 1 have not forgotten
Grover Cleveland's last term when
had no work and became badly in
debt and have paid those debts since
under Republican administration.
But many will go ahead, shut their
eyes and walk straight into the fire
after being in the same place.
Wishing the West Virginian and
the Republican party the success they
SO richly deserve, I shall endeavor to
contribute my mite in their behalf.
l like party that does something,
not one that tries to get in the wheels
of progress and stop anybody else
from doing anything. The Democrat
ic party is noted, not only for not do
ing anything themselves, but for him
dering others that would do some
thing.

Amy one listening 70 the speeches
IofSStates John ]. Cornwell, the
democratic nominee for governor
would think he had been an advocate
of the bills of the Tax Commission.
Mr.. Cornweu claims that he was an
original tax reformar. He asserted
this in his speeches at Clarksburg and
at Wayne, and doubtless elsewhere.
He bases his record as an original
tax reformer on two facts. First, That
he voted for bill in 1899 to tax ex-
press companies. The bill was un-
constitutional and was vetoed by the
governor. The bill was copied from a
law passed in Kentucky ten years ago,
which was declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Courc Of the United
Indiana and also declared unconsti-
tutional by the same high court.
Second, that he introduced reso-
luton in the Senate in 1889 request
ing some committee to inquire w5eth-
er any State taxes could be taken off.
He was SO in earnest about it that he
says lie never heard of the resolution
after that.
So, Mr.. Cornwe1l's record as a tax
reformer resulted ;n-noth;ng.
In 1901 the Republican Legislature,
against the solid opposition of tie
Democrats, including Senator Corn
Law. This law greatly increased the
license tax on the charters of corpo-
rations. The most the Democrats ever
collected in any one year from this
source was less than $50, zoe. Under
the Dawson Law $3ao,ooo is collected
yearly from the same source. Sen
ator Cornwell opposed this law.
The same session Of Ike Legislature
created the West Virginia State Tax
Commission. Everybody nearly adj
mitted the necessity of the amend
ment and revision Of our taxation
laws. There were only six votes in
the entire Legislature against the ere
alton of the Tax Commission. One Of
CornweII. Evidently he wanted no
amendment of these antiqualed and
negotiable laws.
In the Legislature of 1908 one day
Mr.. Cornwell voted in favor of con-
sidering the bills of the Tax Commits
sion. The very next day he voted
against consideration ans voted to xii!
the whole matter.
On August &c, 1909, Nj. Cornwell
made an elaborate speech to his con-
stituents of Jefferson county on the
bills of the Tax Commission. Cover
