THERE is perhaps no man in the
Episcopal Church in West Virginia
who is more respected and admired
than Rev. Mr.. Gibbon, the venerated
rector of the Romney Episcopal
Church. He is a neighbor Of John J.
Cornwell, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and has known him from
his youth up. Mr. Gibson was asked
recently what his personal opinion OF
John Cornwell is. "Wel," said the
minister, eff l was looking for a sue
cessOr to Bishop Peterkin for the do
cese OF West Virginia, I don't believe
l would select Mr. Cornwell. But if
l wanted to vote for the most honest
and capable and best qualified man
Of my acquaintance to fill the Office of
Governor, l would vote for John Corn
well every time-and l mean to cast
my ballot that way"
This is pretty good evidence from
right at home.

AT the Republican State conven-
ton a couple of months ago Taylor
Vinson, leading Republican of Hun
tington, bitterly opposed the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Dawson and introduced
resolution to uuseat the Dawson dele
gates from Kanawha county who had
been chosen by such scandalous fraud.
Speaking upon the resolution, Mr..
Vinson said:
In Kanawha county every crime known
to the criminal calendar has been com
mitted-forgery, perjury, ballot-b o X
stuiIing and bribery. The charges were
made and sworn to and were not de-
MED. These charges were made to the
com mittee, and not being denied even
by Mr.. Dawson, who was one OF the
committee and the beneficiary of the
crimes, they stand as true. Can the
Republican party of West Virginia, he
said. afford TO have its candidates title
to the nomination, should Mr.. Dawson
get it, be tainted by such crimes as
bribery, forgery, perjury and baIlot-boX
stuiiing? No party, said NinsOn, can
survive and succeed bearing such a
load. Not one Of the charges was con-
tradiCted. The committee declined to
inquire. These charges are on the rec
ordS of the Republican party undenied,
yea, worse, admitted, staining and black
ening the reputation of the party and
the character Of the candidate who
profits by such things No man with
spark Of honor in him would take nom
ination under such circumstances. Any
candidate who goes out Of this conven-
ton with such q blight and faint upon
him will be defeated
The Republican party made the
mistake Of nominating candidate
whose title is tainted as Mr.. Vinson
specified. Will it survive with such
load ? Well, not this campaign.
We fully agree with Mr. Vinson that
the candidate who goes out with such
blight and faint on him will be de.
feated-as he ought to be.
The funny part Of the business is,
however, that Vinson is now vigor.
ously stumping the State TOR Dawson.

LOOKING BACKWARD"

Editor OF QudrryrtHe Sun:
Dear Sir: 1t was not my intention TO
further take up your space, yet, perhaps,
some lite explanation ID due to Dickinson
x Forbes, if not to the public, hoping
that what the public so thoroughly un-
derstands thay will be able to com pre-
hend after many repetitions. In regard
to promises made OF stated prices to be
pail for milk | know nothing about, but
| do know that man that will promise
what the market will be months in adj
vance is either fool or knave. Now |
know and you know that the farmers of
southern Lancaster County are now and
have been without competition for their
milk. We could not ship it, therefore
must haul it to the creamery or make
butter. If we made butter it meant a
great lot Of labor that we could not get
help to do and not being able for our
selves, then If we kept cows we must Of
necessity sell our milk to creamery and
take just what-would prevent mutiny.
Therefore it was good theory that CO.
operative creamery would be to our in
terest and the theory has been verified
by the results OF the first years business
as everybody knows, and Dickinson &
Forbes know and SO admit In their ad-
vertisement, that the co-ope rated cream
cry has been the means of giving an in
creased price to the farmer for lis milk.
Now let lis reason. What does this
amount to? We can prove that the gain
has been about zoe. per 100 pounds of
milk produced Not much, isit? About
two cigars. But look further. We think
we can prove that the net profits on our
milk was not heretofore near Zoe. per 100
pounds. This extra 20c is clear gain in
short, the net profits Of the dairy inter-
ests Of this vicinity has been more than
doubled. Think Of it. And while this
is fact | do not suppose Dickinson &
Forbes can swallow it or admit it. Per-
haps they want to argue from their stand
point. They tell us that after % years
they are giving the farmers more for his
butter fat and giving him back 25c. per
100 in skim milk. Then whatever. has
caused them SO to do has benefited their
customers and more than doubled the
profits on their cows.
/ wonid say in regard to my limited
liabilities you infer that | did not lose
while my associates did,, What is your
inference? Why don't you say what you
want to and not beat about the BUSH I
must confess that your writing carries
me back to my childhood days. BY hit
ting snake upon the head with large
stone ] killed that snake yet ] clubbed it
tile rest of the day to stop that tail from
nriggling. Perhaps that after the sun
gees down you win conclude to pay the
fatmers more for his butter fat than mar

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Ex-senator Kenney maintained
his grip On the Democratic or
ganization Of Kent County on
Tuesday, and BY an alliance with
the liquor element secured such
majority OF the State ConFen-
ton as places him in undisputed
control Of the State organization.
Every candidate except Mr..
Handy for Attorney General,
bears the Kenney brand, and no
matter how respectable or honest
each may be or may want to
appear, he must be governed by
the ex-Senator's wishes and de-
mands.
The platform adopted is one
full of "buncombe.' The de-
mand for the repeal Of the voters
assistant law is only in the event
that the Republicans elect the
Governor. Should the RepubE-
can factions by tlleir refusal to
agree upon q candidate that will
be acceptable, assure the choice
Of Mr.. Penniwell the voters as
sist;lnt law will be good enough
for the Democrats. 1t is Dem
ocratic measure, conceived and

TWO TICKETS

At this writing, the Union
Republican are preparing to hold
their Primary in this county,
despite the efforts thathave been
made by the Republicans to Sc
cure one common primary. These
efforts have not been confined to
the Republicans Of this state but
the National Committee has taken
d hand. The purpose Of Union
Republicans to nominate county
ticket and then insist on trade
by which certain county offices
will be given them is still more
apparent. When the Republi
can County Committee made the
offer on July 30th, the reply was
"Give us Common Primaries in
Kent and Sussex, and we will
give you Common Primaries in
New Castle. z
This demand has been met and
the two parties are practically
united in the two lower counties.
Now their demand is, "We must
have Conrad for Governor or
every county, and nearly every
local Office in New Castle County
shall be filed by a Democrat.
There is no assurance if this
were conceded that they would
not demand the whole State aud
all three County tickets.
This later demand cannot be
conceded. We do not believe
that Mr.. Conrad could be elected
Governor. When Mr.. Addicks
gave out his famous Hotel Wal
ton interview he deliberately and
with malace aforethought placed
the brand ~. E. a." on MIR Con
rad and the people positively
would not support him, no mat
ter how good man he may be.
The twoState Com mittees should
get together and agree upon a
State ticket and we believe that
the sentiment of rs per cent Of
the Republican voters Of the
State is to drop both and take a
third man. But that has moth
ing to do with a common pri-
mary in this County. The in
terests involved in this fight for
the control Of this county and
incidentally Of $4,000 surplus
are 50 great that every means,
shar nf an absolute surrender,
ms t3 tried to save it from De-
mo1dcy. But we still stand
where we always have stood, bet
ter defeat than a surrender to
Addickism and its recent out
growth, Bradleyism.
1t is the duty Of all Republi-
cans whether Union Or Regular
to stay away from the polls to-
day and by their absence put the
seal Of disapproval On this course
Of rule o. ruin, this pulling down
the,house which Mr.. Addicl1s has
built. If they do, common pri-
-maries will yet be held and one
ticket secured.

TO WHOM IT CONCERNS

The writer's attention was called on
| the evening of September 1st to the ar
ticle in the Ne,p Era. As | had already
shown to those who are interested in the
Eigin System Creamery movement here
uty the SO called failure of the New Ber-
| lin Cooperative Creamery had no bearing
on either the principal Incorporation or
| its success or failure here, it was my iIl-
tention to pay no heed to the New Era 5
| latest inspiration. However several gem
tlemen who will be stockholders in the
plant here have requested me to reply to
the NeW Era and tell all the facts. /
therefore respectfully request THE TRAN
SCRIPT to grant me sufficient space to do
so.
First, the people who were thrown out
Of the condensery at New Berlin did not
subscribe the stock to build the Cooper
ative creamery. Second the stock hold
ers of tile cooperative were not patrons,
and for the reason that they were, and
are under contract to the condensery re-
newing said contracts each six months,
they built their own plant in order to
have place for their milk, If, upon de-
mand they were not permitted to feed
siedge-one of the restrictions placed
upon them by the Bordens which made
milk cost from Is to 20 per cent. more
per hundred. October lst next is the
six months period when contracts closed
until April following. When the Bordens
found that they could dictate to its pa
irons no longer; that the producer was
going to have something to say about it
too, they (the Bordens) very gracefully
sstook down the bars and the producer
there may now feed any wholesome feed
his cattle relish. A clear gain for them
OF at least 20 per cent on the cost OF pro
ducing milk. They could well afford to
build their plant and never use it to win
the object they have been after for sew
eral wears. The writer predicts that
Cook & Brady will pay up much higher
for milk when the Farmers have their
plant ready for operation here and if SO,
why is that not inst the result sought by
the producer, it does not matter if their
plant runs but thirty days, if by running
it that time brings them the advance,
they could well afford to hold it closed up,
paying tax and insurance and then be
ahead the cost Of the plant each twelve
months. Now word about the milk
that was going to the New Berlin cream
GTV. nave sdIu IL WAS HUI luIllIsucu "
the stockholders, that is true, and when
the stockholders gained their point from
the Bordens they turned the plant over
to tile New York parties, and they will
keep OIL doing SO just as long as the Bord-
ems keep down the bars, leasing their own
plant for six months at time Just as
they sign contracts with Bordens. Those
patrons who are forced to take ten cents
less for their milk than Bnrden's price
are getting 335 per cent more for their
milk than Cook & Brady are paying their
patrons, and the per cent. Of Holstein
cows there is much greater than here.
Why does not the New Era interview H.
w. Pharo, R. A. Cochran or G. III. Green
and get some unbiased facts from co opera
tive plants actually seen The truths Of
tile matter is that the Near Era is inter-
ested just to the extent that Cook & Brady
is and no more.
