The result of the Second Congress

When we went after the Yellow
Jacket some time since and made
Tanned Jacket out Of It, they were
so badly ratified they wanted us shut
out Of the mails and complained to
the Postofice Department at Wash.

and indecent attack on them. Great

after them pretty rough. Who the
ID would try to fight Yaller Jackets
any other way. We simply beat
them at their own game and then
they whimpered about IT, They
thought because they we're running
such a rank Republican sheet and
heaping so much abuse on the Dem
ocratic party, that they could get
a partisan administration TO make
trouble for u.s., as we we're running
just as strong a Democratic paper.
The Postof6ce Department wrote a
letter 70 the postoffce here about il,
stating that the complaint had been
made, but they did not take the
matter up. This only shows how
badly scared the Yaller Dog with
the Jacket was. We had promised
them a heap more and they we're

ELECTION ECHOES.

and despisable meaness generally,
the following circular sent GU:
broadcast on Tuesday by the Re.
publicans, takes the cake and is
enough to make every decent mem.
Der of the party blush with shame.
Here Is this rascally lying letter
LOOK ! MINERS !
Col. Davis is riding over the
West Virginia Central with the Vice
President of the road, calling on
mine bosses and telling them Davis
MUST be elected, and holding them
responsible for the vote OF such
places as Elk Garden, Wabash,
Coketon, Thomas, Weaver and
Pennington.
All coal miners who ride in pri-
vate cars, drink "Mums Extra Dry"
and smoke 5o-cent cigars should
vote for Col. Davis. Those who
dig coal, or work, pick huckleber-
ries and hunt rabbits, should vote
for JIM LAKIN.
ELK GARDEN DEMOCRAT.
The whole thing is lie and only
circulated on the day of election to
fool some of the miners, who they
thought were ignorant enough to
believe anything and be prejudiced
by it.
The Vice President above refer
red to was Fairfax Langstreeth, the
Republican leader of Tucker coun-
ty who was sent last year, as a dele
gate from this State to the National
Republican convention and who
did all he could to redeem Tucker
county for Col. Davis but they
took mighty good care not to ex-
plain that in the above circular.
The paragraph trying 20 array the
poor man against the rich, is almost
too little and Inconsistent to be
noticed. 1t does worry the Repub-
licans to have a rich man or cor
poraiion Of any kind on the side Of
the Democrats. They claim a mo-
nopoly on wealth and corporations.
We will bet our Bryan hat that the
ok Garden Democrat signed to
the circulars, is the damdest, dirt
lest, meanest, low down lying, worth
less, good for nothing dyed in the
wool Republican that ever fought,
bled and died for niger freedom.

When the people start the snow
ball to rolling nothing can stop it.
1t was case of showing them un.
der this time. The ball is still roll
ing and by the election Of 1906 the
fake tax reformers will have to leave
the State. The people are after
them. They are not going to give
them any quarters hereafter.

The Republican spellbinders who
were turned loose in this county
last week, were a big help to the
Democratic cause, as they refused
to touch on the subject of tax re.
form and kept as far from this all
absorbing subject as possible. They
waived the bloody shirt, fought the
war over again and talked of the
glory of the past, touched lightly
on the tariff and lodged tax reform
like a pestilence. This only enrag-
ed the farmers and helped get the
Democrats out to vote, while many
Republicans refused to leave their
work and go to the polls and few
voted for Davis straight out.

The many friends of Col. w. ].
Lavelle of Tunnelton, sympathise
with him in the loss of his home
from the big fire of last Saturday
night. The fire broke out about
eleven o'clock in the big store build
ing of Adams & Co. right across the
street from Col. Lavelle's residence
and when this building fell in,
great wave of heat rolled across the
street, taking such holt on the La
velle home that nothing could save
it. A freight train had just pulled
in on the B. & o. near by and the
train men grabbed their axes and
rushed to help the Colonel as they
all know him. They chopped down
the windows and run the heavy fur.

the fire was caused by defective

The Republican eleventh hour
circular signed, eek Garden Dem
ocrat," made votes for Col. Davis
among the intelligent miners. The
coal miners, like all other class Of
people, are intelligent and do their
own thinking. Those who appeal to
the miners prejudice, instead of
their intelligence, make fatal mis-
take. No one contributed more to
the election of Col. Davis than the
coal miners of the Second District.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1905-06-08

The total vote in this county for
Davis was over twelve hundred, the
biggest off year vote we ever had
out. About SO per cent of the
Democratic vote was at the polls
while the Republicans only had
about 10 per cent of their vote out.
They had about 4, 400 voters regis
tered and only a little over three
thousand at the polls. The Repub-
licans don't like the tax reform bust
ness any better than the Democrats
do and we have only had a small
dose of it as yet. Wait till the
election next fall a year, and we
will come burned near carrying this
county.

saved we propose to go after the

The ARGUS feels more like pray
ing than rejoicing over the election
Of Col Davis. It sees better days
dswning for the common people.
It shows that they intend to lay
aside partisan politics and work for
their own salvation. This is why
TIE ARGUS admonishes the people
TO pray and pray earnestly that the
good fight be kept up. UNITED we
stand; divided we fall"

Is Patricks Fate, in Spite
Of All His Appeals.
Sentenced to Die in the Week
Beginning Jan. u.
Makes Final and Impassioned Plea For His
Life in Supreme Court.

New York, Dec. 6.-After making a
final personal plea to the court in his
own behalf, Albert T. Patrick, the
William Marsh Rice, tonight, was
sentenced to die in the electric chair
during the week beginning Jan. % next.
Sentence was pronounced by Justice
Rogers in the criminal branch of the
state supreme court. Notice was at
once given that an appeal to the
supreme court OF the United States on
a writ Of error will be taken. The ap-
plication for the writ it is said will act
as a stay of execution. Patrick was re-
turned to the death house at Sing Sing,
tonight.
Patrick listened twice, this afternoon,
to a rehearsal of all the details Of his
case by the district attorney. Once
during the proceeding he had been ask
ed by Justice Rogers if he had anything
to say before sentence should be passed
upon him and had remained silent I'M
der the direction of his lawyers. AS
the case neared Il close, Patrick arose
unexpectedly in his place and pleaded
to be heard.
His action caused a stir i'm the crowd
ed court room, and the lawyers held d
hurried consultation, while Patrick
stood pale and anxious, awaiting the
courts permission to proceed. This
permission was finally granted, and
Patrick spoke for nearly Is minutes
His voice, at first a bit husky, grew
clearer as he proceeded and all in court
listened attentively.
Earlier in the afternoon. Patrick had
been called before Justice Slower, in the
supreme court. but after hearing the
record Of the case, the judge ordered
that the proceeding be transferred to
the criminal branch. Patrick. ac-
companied by the guards from Sing
Sing and his attorney walked from the
civil courts building to the criminal
courts, APPARENTLY enjoying the exercise
A crowd of several hundred followed at
respectful distance.
The crush to secure admittance to
Justice Rogers branch of the criminal
division was SO great that police re-
serves from several stations were sum-
moned to p. eserve order in the corridors
of the court building.
When Patrick had been allowed to
proceed in his own behalf he urged that
there was no direct evidence that Rice
had been killed and reiterated his claim
that he had been convicted on manu-
featured evidence. Justice Rogers then
ordered Patrick to stand I'D and
sentence was pronounced.

Rutland, VT, Dec. 6.-Attorneys for
Mrs. Mary Rogers, whose execution is
fixed for Friday next, have not given
up hope of obtaining another reprieve
from Gov. Bell, who is now on his way
home from Chicago. After an extend
ed conference, tonight, the governors

not be learned, this evening, it was
nevertheless ascertained that several
papers had been prepared for the gov

hoped, will result in another stay of
execution.

stopped at Frankfort, Ind, for a few
hours. Preparations We're made by

Separation Of the Church
and State in France.
Bill Passes Senate by Large Ma
jority Amid Loud HuTrahs.
Means Reduction Of Public Worship Bulge
Establishes Neutrality Of Religion.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The Senate, today, af-
ter long debate, adopted the bill for
the separation of church and state, by
vote of i81 against 102. The vote was
announced amid enthusiastic scenes
and cries Of Long live the republic!"
and Long live liberty"
Former Premier Combes participated
in the debate, contending that the
measure assured neutrality of religion,
moral liberation and social pacitica-
ton.
This is the final Parliamentary stage
of the bill, which will be promulgated
in the Official Journal, tomorrow,
when it will become Immediately eff
fective. The council of state will devote
three months to the framing of the adj
ministrative details of the new regime.
The action of the Vatican regarding
the law has not yet been definitely an
nounced. The French clergy, while
opposing the measure appear to be
disposed to conform to the new sys-
tenn.
The public worship budget of 1906
will be reduced from $S.400,000 to
nearly $6S00,000 consequent on the
gradual dimunition of the salaries
paid by the state to the clergy.
The fundamental principles of the
bill ensure entire liberty of conscience
respecting religion, with restrictions
concerning the exercise of religion
which are intended to preserve public
order.
In the future. the state will be en-
tirely free from connection with all
religious sects.
