FEAR REPUBLICAN PLANS
Democrats Charge Attempt Will Be
Made to Disfranchise Them.
CONTEST IN SECOND DISTRICT
Mr.. Lakin Shaking Hands With
the Voters, While Colonel
Davis Stands Pat.

Democrats. of the Second West Vir-
uiuia district, charge that the repub-
Hicaus will attempt to disfranchise
democratic voters under the new
election law effective on May Is.
At the meeting of the committees Of
the two parties in Cumberland last
Saturday q week, ~ was at once de-
cided that the election must be held
under the new law. II is claimed that
it was suggested at the meeting by
one af the democrats that the blanks
for che registration be prepared jointly
by the two congressional committees
an order THAT they might be uniform.
aud that wrangling be avoided on the
day OF the election between the com
missioners representing the two polit-
cal parties in registering fhe voters
unregistered who offered to vote.
After the preparation of these blanks,
at was further suggested that the
chairman of the two committees Issue
a Joint letter OF instructions to the
these blanks and embodying such sec.
tions at the law as ought to be called
TO the attention Of the commissioners.
The democrats claim this suggestion
was turned down by the republicans,
although Noah q. Keim, the chair.
man, and James $. Lakin, the repub
Iican candidate for congress, we're
favorable to 1T. The democrats claim
the act of the repU blicans savors Of an
attempt to take some unfair advantage
of democratic voters in republican
counties. The democrats committee
will, on its own hook, prepare regis
tration blanks and furnish them to
the commissioners in accordance with
their Interpretation of the require
2nsDts of the law
The democrats are trying to make
the new tax law an issue in the cam
paigr, using the newspapers 80 circu
late their views. They will make no
speeches. They will claim that the
xesssessment will increase the tax
values enormously, in some cases run
lug all the wav up to $50 per cent. 1t
as declared by the democrats that the
owner of farm or a town lot and
house will find his tax liability at
Ies - doubled in the near future.
They appeal TO republicans to show
their disapproval by voting for dem
ocrat Tor congress, whose election
would not hurt the political compile
