Bachelor Girls Club.

One of the very delightful So
cial events of last week, and one
the society editor failed to give
an account of was the card party
given to the members of the
Bachelor Girls club at the hand
some new home Of Miss Eloise
Stealey, on Main street. The hos,
tesses were the Misses Hattie and
Jeanette Young and Miss Steal
ey. This was the first large and
formal entertainment given IN
Miss Stealey's new home, and the
handsome rooms were thrown
open and beautifully decorated
with roses and other spring flow
ers in keeping with the color
scheme of pink and green. the
card tables were arranged IN the
parlor and reception hall, and
were covered with pale green GOV,
ers. Several interesting games OF
pedro were played. The tally
cards were tiny green leaves. Miss
Eloise Mccormick received the
club favor, and Miss Eva Nesbltt
was presented with the visitors
favor. A very dainty three
course luncheon was served infor-
mally at the card tables. The out
of-town guests were Misses Sadie
Wells and Mayme McEldowney
of New Martinsville. The vlsl-
tors were Misses Nesbitt, Graham,
Devore, Smullen, Moore and

Woman's Literary Club.

That the last is the best was
proven yesterday when the mem
bers of the Woman's Literary
club of Sistersville met in regular
semi-monthly session for the last
time during the present club
year. Mrs. A. G. Jackson, the
president called the meeting to
order at 2 80 p. M, and the reg
ular business meeting was open
ed. The secretary gave in the
names of five applicants for mem
bership. After vote Of the mem
bers they were all received into
the club, and the list, which is
limited to fifty active members, is
now complete. Four months ago
the club was organized with TWEEN
ty-seven active members. Since
that time twenty-three applicants
have been received into the club
and other names are already on a
waiting list. Since the organlza-
ton the club has become a mem
Der of the General Federation OF
Woman's Clubs of America, and
also a member of the State FEEDER
alton of Woman's clubs. Blight
reonlar meetings have been held
during the year, and one social
entertainment given. The election

for the excellent work and man
agement Of the club, and Mrs.
Jackson unanimous reelection
to the presidents chair, voiced
the appreciation of all the other
members of the club. Yesterdays
program included an excellent pi-
ano solo by Mrs. T. j. Laugh
ney. Mrs. T. H. King read a
carefully prepared historical pa
per on Modern History. Miss
Geenvieve Chestnut discussed our
recent writer's in a very pleasing
manner, and brought her listeners
in close touch with the literary
talent Of the present time. Miss
Maude Anderson made each one
feel proud, indeed, to be a resi-
dent of the State Of West Vlr-
ginia. In her papers on the De-
velopment of West Virginia she
showed the steady growth in CIV
ilization, wealth and progress
from the Red mans time up to
the present day. At the close of
this program Mrs. Jackson an

| sist them to nominate Shriver,
Underwood, Hill and others and
they certainly did deliver the
goods F. O. B. at the Jones hose
house. Whether the leaders can
reciprocate next spring by way
of delivering a Mayor to order
is another matter that has not
come to pass yet, but if the Red
Ticket business is attempted here
again somebody is going to get
hurt. There is no use to indict
anybody in this county. The Pros
ecuting Attorney was in this COM
bination, and he is not going to
prosecute his friends. Then about
the only thing left the people to
do is to use force against fraud,
and it will be done. That's the
natural result of high-handed and
open violations of the laws of our
country.
The Republican committee
meets tomorrow to canvas the re-
turns. We presume when the
tickets are counted they will be
found to be as counted, but they
do not express the peoples wishes
at all. No man on earth can de-
eide who is elected for the reason
no election was held. A certain
number Of voters went to the
polls, and, supposing a fair and
honest election was being held,
made their selection and voted,
but whether the ballot was count
ed or not Is another thing. Then
a great many more voters cast a
ballot, for which they were paid
so much. The rules governing
primary elections were all vio-
lated both morally and legally.
It's a nasty, mean mess. Demo-
Gratis may have thought they
knew something about dirty poll
tics, but they are not in it with
the Republican leaders and
bosses. Such conduct will soon
brand and advertise our county
as being lawless, and we will de-
serve it. 1t was lawlessness, cor
ruption, unfair, dishonest, in vio-
lation of law, and is punishable
by confinement in the peniten-
tiary. But we have no one to
prosecute unless we can defeat
the nominee for Prosecuting At
torney this fall, and we think the
Job can be done. We know it
ought to be done.

THAT RED
TICKET BUSINESS

the Republicans Wednesday last
what is now known as the Red
Ticket system was adopted. 1t
appears to have been worked sue
cessfully here at the Jones hose
house, in Garry Owen, over on
Buck Run and at Alvy or String
town, and perhaps at other places.
The scheme was worked about
this way, but few votes were poll
ed before noon here. After dinner
colored people and many others
were noticed to be gathering IN
twos and threes in and near a
certain saloon in this city. From
the saloon they would go to the
polls. When they entered the
voting place they would ask for
a certain clerk to make out their
ticket. When the "certain"
clerk was busy one of the COM
missioners of election would at
tend to the voter and make him
up a ticket according to previous
instructions. After the hon
est CO voter had deposited the
ballot he was given a white ticket
in place of the red one he handed
over to the clerk, and with this
white ticket in his hand he went
over to the upper room over a
barber shop in this city where he
found gentleman standing with
large round table in front of
him, and upon this table were a
great number of piles Of silver
dollars, each pile containing So.
AS the honest (?) voter walked
up to the table he handed the
keeper his white ticket and pile
of three silver dollars was SHOW
ed over into his hand, and. then
the honest man who had just exer-
cised the right so dear to all true
Americans, of having voted ac-
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience, would pass out into
the city, prepared for a proper
consideration to commit another
crime when requested so to do.
Now some people ask if this is
actually true. We can say that it
is substantially the way the vot-
ing was done here Wednesday and
in many other places in this coun-
ty. At least Republicans have
. sworn to this state of things, other
Republicans tell it, no one dis
putes it, and so we have no doubt
it all happened. 1t was carried
on here, at Buck Run, in McElroy
districts, and wherever the clerks
and commissioners were trusted
to work the thing properly. This
accounts for the defeat of a num-
Der of candidates. 1t caused the
nomination of Hill, Shpiver, Und-
erwood, and only failed in .one re-
spect in the election Of William
~sep for Assessor instead of Long.
The latter was not supported, but
Williamson was selected although
he was not aware the combina-
ton had selected him.
Where did all of this money
come from9 1t took big pile of
cash to carry through such po-
litical jobbery as this was. We
can only guess. Part of it was no
doubt furnished by some of the
candidates. Part of it was no
doubt furnished by men who want
