Here guide left us but only for a moment. In
less than five minutes after had entered the
building in the Iresence of John Staunton,
editor and managing director OF The Daily Oracle

largest which any English journal had ever attained.
He was sitting, slight spare man. before long
table III the middle of a handsomely furnished room.
Before him telephones of various sorts.
OF documents, and dummy newspaper. He held
out his hand to Barlow, and half rose to his feet
he noticed Adele.
You have something to say TO me. Monsieur
Barlow? he said rapidly. . As quickly as possible,
II YOU pleased This is the busiest hour OF the day
for me-
You may reckon it. also" Barlow said, 1.-THE
gre@test hour OF your lfe; for l am going to give
you opportunity to-day OF making history for
all time"
staunton raised his eyebrows. Yet it was. easy
10 that he impressed. Your friendS!" he
asked glancing toward us.
Barlow turned to Guest. Forgive me- he said;
but 1t must be truth now, and nothing else. This
is Lord Leslie Wendover, third of the Duke of
Mochester. You may remember Lord Wendovers
name in connection with the Berlin scandals fifteen
years ago. This" he added, turning to me, lis
Hardross Courage. You have heard of him,
doubt. The lady is Miss Van Hoyt of America"
Staunton bowed to all of us. "Well?" he said.
Each one of us" Barlow said, standing slim

YOU the only man who can save this country.
Il viii hear the story in a moment" Staunton
said calmly. First, You have been to the Gov
erIl,nent?"
We have" Guest answered They decline to
hear us believe us, receive They scoff at our
facts, and ignore our warnings.
You have some proofs:
We have almost convincing ones" Guest an
syered. "A further one almost cost us Our lives
few minutes ago. The restaurant where We were
celebrating was blown up by bomb, placed there

The name OF the restaurant" StauntOn asked.

From his look OF interest, | knew that he had
heard something about the place. well, he said,

the while Staunton listened in silence. He had
opened atlas, and studied it carefully, with Gig
arctic in his mouth while Barlow speaking.
When he had heard everything we had to say, he
pushed back the atlas and leaned over the able
toward us.
You ask me- he said slowly ito publish this
story tomorrow. With what object:"
That the people OF this great country Barlow
answered quickly, should at least have chance
themselves to arrest this horrible disaster. Let
them rise up and insist that before four O'Clock to-
destroyer leaves Devonport, with orders to
stop fleet entering kiel harbor. Let them insist
upon general mobilization OF the fleet and the
ministers have failed you. 1t is by favor of the
people that they rule, Let the people speak,"
The man at the table moved his position never
so slightly. His eyes We're fixed downward. He
seemed TO be thinking deeply.
Barlow continued. MY friends here" he said,
shave done all that can be done with members of
of Others of great influence. The appeal to you IS
practically an appeal to Cesar. Ministers great,
grasps tie levers which guide the world"
And still the man at the table silent
Barlow had more to say. Il will tell you" he
said what American newspaper has done for us.
Tomorrow, at twelve O'Clock, ten million of dollars
due to be paid to the age of Prince Louis of
Normandy, by the Credit Lyonnais OF Paris. To-
morrow morning the New York papers, in great
type, expose as gigantic joke the whole affair. 1t
Will give the names of the American citizens, and
the titles which their contribution to the royalist
cause in France is to secure Tomorrow, all New
York Will be cOnvused with laughter; and do not
think that that ten million dollars Will be cabled to
the Credit Lyonnais."
The man at the table lifted his head. His face
was like the face OF man who has been in pain.
The two cases, he said slowly, "are not Identical.
The New York paper perpetrates huge joke upon
its readers. Whichever way that affair ends, they
have little TO lose. You ask NE. the other hand.

that not so?"
Staunton assented gravely. You are asking me

Universal. At last my
turn came. 1t was in
teresting to visit, If only
,or a moment, the room
where Staunton himself
was writing this story.
He was sitting at his
table, his coat off, an un-
lighted cigarette in his
mouth, an untasted cup OF
tea by his side. Two short
hand clerks sat opposite
20 him, a typewriter was
hard at work a few wards
away. Staunton called me
over to him. His voice
was hOarse and raspy, and
there were drops OF sweat
upon his forehead.
Is it true, Mr.. Cour-
age, W he said, that YOU

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-03-24

Every reader Of a newspaper
knows that when the election is held
there will be seven people officially
attachd to each polling place. There
will be three commissioners, two poll
clerks and two challengers, divided
as nearly equal as possible between
the Two leading parties. In other
words suppose We say three Demo
Gratis and four Republicans; who
will be selected respectively ~ each
party. Win any sane man say that
with such a force surrounding each
ballot box, any party can illegally
vote hundreds of Ignorant foreign
ers.' We venture the prediction
that the Republican end Of these
election forces will see that ouf Dem
ocratic friends do not run il" 5ny
crowd of illegal voters. The Gee
ton will be a squarc-dcal. Look
over the list Of elecion officers. We
see no reason why these men should
be classcd as criminals, The TeIe-
gram will say for the Democratic Of
licers on these boards that they are
neither fools nor weoklings, hut on
the other hand they are gentlemen
fully able to carry ont, in a awful
manner, the work assigned TO teen,

The Governor and State Tax Com
missioner made a tour Of the State
recently inspecting the work Of the
several county tax commissioners.
After inspecting the books for Har-
rison county the equalization board
publically complimented our com
missioners and said that in no other
county in the State had the work
been done in a more Just or satisfac-
tory manner. Yet the little crowd
now engaged in abusing the Repub-
lican city nominees, said that when
A. D. Fitzhugh was named as COM
missioner, and Laco Young deputy
commissioner, the "ring" had named
these men and that they would be
controlled and used to secure i'm
proper valuations. The work Of
these men stands today and relutcs

People who have heard this silly
story about "hundreds of fraudulent
voters being brought to Clarksburg'
for the purpose of corrupting the
election, will remember that the
same old fraudulent vote gag was
told previous to the last general cleo
ton. They said hundreds of illegal
votes would be run in by the Rcpub-
licans. After the election they still
claimed fraud, and said they would
prove it. Every voting place had
been watched BY a shrcwd Demo-
cratic election commissioner and one
Democratic clerk who never left the
ballot box. The most active Demo-
Gratis had served as challcngcrs, and
every strange or unfamiliar voter
had been made to file his affidavit
as TO the legality of his vote. Arm
ed with these allidavitS. our Demo
cratic friends began 10 locate and
trace The hundreds Of Illegal yot-
crs.' They finally sifted it down to
one man who seemed TO have voted
enormously. One instead OF humid
reds.

OF the members of the 1905
Stogies those who have signed CON
tracts are Price, Schriyer, Vessel,
Robertson, Vought, Doyle and

expected TO sign in a few days.
Miller and Coggswell are not ac-
counted for, and their intentions are
not known, though it is believed they
will be found wearing the Wheeling
uniform again. Miller has had Of
fers from the Pennsylvania Outlaws,
but when writing recently to Man
ager Shriver he seemed to be inclin-
ed to return here. OF the other
stars, who won the epnnant, Ehman
goes to Akron, Livingston 10 Gin

nedy TO South Bend, while Cannon,
who did not report last season, also
figured in the South Bend deal.
Even if Butler decides to ramain
in the Kid league Fairmont and
Clarksburg will surely be granted
the franchise now held by Cumber-

a very good town for the sport the
jumps are entirely too long. Union
town is its nearest neighbor and that
jump is considerably more than one
hundred miles.
Cowan, the Waynesburg third
baseman. was awarded to Wheeling
by the National Commission, but
there is slight possibility Of Mont
gomery losing him.
Butler, if it sticks in the league,
will have to sign a practically new
team as the last years bunch is all
gone.

Some Of the fastest young players
