The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-11-14

Wonder If the Times realizes the
number and kind of men it attempted
to catch in Its filthy drag net this
morning? Wonder II the writer of its
leading article, whether the permanent
editor, the makeshift editor, or any
other editor or reporter, realized that
he was dealing with men OF honor
who were acting on their onths, when
it accused every election official of
the county as being n party to a crime,
and a serious one at that? 1t is GER
tainly carrying prejudice and partisan
ship to considerable lengths to make
= holesale accusations against men OF
honor when acting in good faith and
upon their Ooaths. What do the cleo
ton officials Of the county think of
the charge? We shall be glad to hear
from any who may desire 30 write a
letter for publication on the subject.

Law Revisionlsts Meet.

Yesterday the ioihv committee ot
the Senate and House on the revision
of the laws held its first session to con
slider the revision that has been made
by the Codificatlon commission. This
body has been at work on this task
for several years, but 1t will go oul
of existence this year by Legislative
enactment. It has made very com
prehcnsive cOdificatiOn of the stat
utes upon which Congress must pass
During the last session Chairman
Moon, Of the House committee, made
several Intellectual aTmpts y OBJ
tain night sessions for the considers
ton Of this voluminous and technical
measure, but the House was in no
mood to give 1t proper attention and
passed the entire SUBJECT over until
this session, providing that meanwhile
the committees of the two Houses,
composed of some Of the best lawyers
in Congress, should give the measure
critical and legal scrutiny.
Thursday, November 80, the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors will
begin the work of framing up the
measure that takes care OF the navisa-
BILE waterways and harbors Of the
country. Chairman Burton ami his
associates have given this proposed
measure much careful study and in
their efforts to ascertain the exact
needs of the different ports, numerous
visits have been made for a personal
inspection. While it will be the PUT,
pose of Speaker Cannon TO keep this
bill within reasonable proportions, the
chances are that it will carry several
before the two Houses get
through with it..

The Republicans are Just as able
to defend themselves after election as
before. There is absolutely nothing
to conceal as to the votes for Mr.

many recounts as they want, provided

REPUBLICANS AT MT. AYR CLAIM
THAT DEMOCRATS VOTED
AT cAUcUsEs

Des Moines, April 30.-Conventions
and primaries were held in several
counties of the state Saturday. The
Taylor county convention instructed
its delegates for Perkins. In Ringgold
county the republicans of Mt. Ayr have
determined to contest the returns of
the vote at the primaries on the ground
that democrats voted. While the re-
suit in Mt. Ayr does not affect the
county as far as 1t going to Perkins
yet the republicans propose, If possible,
to put an end to democrats voting at
republican primaries. At the conven-
tion in Blackhawk county to select
delegates to the judicial and congress
sional convention no resolutions af-
fecting state politics were adopted.
AS a result of the primaries in But
Ter county it is claimed that Cummins
has 110 and Perkins Sc delegates to
the state convention. The Clay county
convention instructed for Cummins
the Ida county convention named a
!Cummins delegation and the Calhoun
county convention was in control OF
the Cummins faction. The Cummins
men carried the Delaware county con.
