The only new development in the

came when the employees received
their wages for the two weeks ending
on June 2. which was paid Tuesday
evening. When the employees openad
their envelopes they found printed

This action on the part Of the man

closes the breach between the strikers
and the management
While the leaders in the strike movs~

the business men stated that be had

He Defeats James S. Lakin For Con-
gress By Majority of LOO.
BERKELEY COUNTY'S SURPRISE
Republicans Here Put Up Stiff Fight and
Wrest Supremacy From the Democrats
By the Narrow Margin of 3 Votes.

With all of the counties in the
Second congressional district
sending in the official and es'
timated majorities, it is certain
that the democrats have carried
the district, electing Col.
Thomas B. Davis to Congress
by a majority approximating
LOO.
Later and more complete res
turns from every county in the
Second congressional district
giving Colonel Davis a majority
over his republican opponent
and making it more positive
that the grizzled old war horse
of the democratic party has
achieved a splendid although
unexpected triumph. *
Up until a late hour many re-
publicans in this city chung to
the hope that the heavy repub-
lican majorities in Preston and
Mononghalia counties. with a
democratic slump in Hampshire
would overcome the apparent
majority of Davis and give a
hard-fought contest to Lakin,
but this hope was blasted by Mr..
N. G. Keim, chairman of the
republican committee, who tel
egraphed the returns from the
counties and admitted a demo-
cratic victory by something
ike 100 majority.
Democrats all over the dis
trict are jubilant over the vic.
tory, and this is especially the
case in Martinsburg and Berke
ley county. where the earlier
returns indicated a pronounced
Lakin victory and where the
republicans started to jollify
and make merry at the expense
of their democratic brethren
some hours before the tide
turned and changed the aspect
of the whole affair. Several
bets were made by enthusiastic
republicans on Tuesday night,
some of them at heavy odds
on Lakin, and those who held
the losing end are decidedly dis
gusted with the contrariness of
the other counties in the dis,
trict.
Both democrats and republic
ans here are commenting on
the manner in which Berkeley
county managed to hold up her
record for being on the losing
side. In nearly every election
for the past IA years, Berkeley
has turned in a majority for the
defeated candidate. giving a
democratic majority in republi-
can years, and a republican
majority in democratic years.
The figures for each precinct in
the county, which were given
Wednesday were very accurate,
and the official returns did not
alter them more than a 10(

IN BERKELEY COUNTY.
The result in Berkeley county was
distinct surprise to both democrats
and republicans alike. The democrats
had confidently figured on anywhere
from 200 to 500 majority for Davis in
the city and county, and there was an
air of confideure about their work
that led the initiated to think there
]
might be something in the claim.
The recent sweep in the municipal
election had given the democrats
plenty of hone for a big vote in the
city, and they figured that a majority
of $50 was not too high. They ex-
peeted at least this much more in the
county. But the beautiful uncertain.
ty of the political game was never
better illustrated than IN the way the
republicans changed all this around,
suatching victory from impending de-
feat and rolling up narrow margin
of SOME votes for Lakin,
! The earlier returns from the city in
dieated democratic sseep, bnt this
was not held up by the latter figures,
scrap among the democrats had die
rupted the organization and left the
polls to be handled by one or two men.
At this point the republicans quickly
realized their opportunity. sweeping
down on the ward with plenty OF
money and workers and changing that
erstwhile democratic stronghold into
"a big republican sweep. The vote
there showed change of about 100,
the republicans coming off with "A
majority.
The second ward also showed a re.
publican gain. giving Lakin Sc ma,
jority. The fourth showed narrow
margin for Davis. giving him .,
while the fifth also gave Davis ma
1ority of 10. The first went for Davis
by go.
