Now. that the election has been
won. it is hoped the matter of ere
ating railroad commission viii
not be overlooked. Several papers
took a cue from the Telegram and
insisted that that be done. Cover
nor Dawson himself says a railroad
commission must be created. Among
the powers of that commission
should be the regulating of the
speed and schedule of trains, the
hours railroad men should work, and
numerous other things connected
with the conduct of railroads.
TIE commission should have the
power to bring to punishment the

As the Telegram stated just af-
ter the election Candidate Riley and
the Democratic papers that support
ed him are taking solace in the al
legged fact that he ran ahead of his
tieket-the same sort of solace
Barnes took. Barnes said he ran
twenty-five hundred ahead of his
ticket and the. Wheeling Register
has it figured out that Riley ran
only nine hundred ahead of his
ticket. From this it appears Barnes
has the better Of Riley to the tune
of sixteen hundred votes as run
ner. But neither came any ways
near election, and there is no reason
why both should not be given full
opportunity to get what consolation
tilev can out of it

The Wheeling Register makes
grave charge against the Democracy
Of the First congressional district,
one of which is Riley had to furnish
all the money to run his campaign.
This is matter the Democratic
committee ought to Investigate. Il
is, indeed, reason to believe that
the organization threw him, at least
did not think enough of him to help
him. This proves the oft repeated
statement made by the Telegram
thai Democracy nominated Riley
merely to shelve Tom Hornor and
to use Riley to get control Of the
legislature for John L. McGraw' 5
benefit.

made the following discovery:
Pendleton county has only one
newspaper. The editor. A. A. Mar
tin. has been Democrat all his life.
and he stood by the party faithfully
in the past. But he is now thorough
Nv disguised with the action of some
Of the party leaders, and in the
course of column article in which
he laws down some sound facts for
the Democrats to think over, he
says:
'.The Democratic party was once
grand and patriotic, but men of mar
row and strange ideas have forced
out the old patriots and pushed
themselves in and are drawing the
party into hopeless ruin, and a mo
mcnt's reflection proves it true in
this county. Hundreds of the best
Democrats in the State see the new
tax laws as we do, and Democratic
legislative candidates made speeches
for them. The tax laws are here to
stay"

The Fairmont Times thinks so
well of ClarIsburg that it seems
anxious to move that place mp TO
our point on the map. 1t prints
map showing Clarksburg to be on
the transcontinental system achieved
by Hartman and then says Fair
mont will not be the least import
ant point on the gigantic line, when
in truth Fairmont is not on that
line at all according to the map lie
publishes. Our wish is that FAIR
mont could be on the great line with
us, as we have ever taken a neigh
borlv interest in that city. Can
the Times not work it some way to-
get Fairmont not only on tie map
but also on the line? Do this and
we will be greatly pleased.

The Shepherdstown Register, the
ablest Democratic newspaper of the
Eastern Panhandle, sees the result
of the late election in this state in
this philosophic light: at is quite
evident that the new tax laws in
West Virginia are satisfactory to a
great majority of the people. The
fact is, it is useless to argue against
the benefit of these laws in the face
of the simple truth that almost
everybody is paying less taxes now
that formerly. 1t was a great mis-
take on the part Of the Democrats to
lug the tax laws into the present
campaign"

The little one had been sick for some time and was brought to Brewton several days ago with the hope that the change would prove beneficial.

 A large number of the public schools Of the county have opened with good attendance of pupils. More teachers are available this year than for some time, and 1t is thought there will be no more trouble to secure good teach CTS for all the schools of the county The reason assigned for this Is that the recent examination was more practical than former examinations and more teachers were able to secure certifl- eates.

men who had been considered Conner men by Or. cunningham's friends.
 Tt was a fine occasion for us Cum ningham men," said A. O. Riser. lead- ing merchant of Childersburg. The Conner men have been making loud cleins about this beat. but the meeting today showed us that If they get the beat they will get 1t by such narrow majority that 1t will not amount to much And wasn't that a great speech? It brought over a number of voters who had not expressed them selves"
 Another prominent merchant of the place. F. Morse. said:
 We haven't been making much claims as to this beat because ths head and forefront of the opposition to pr. Cunningham in Taliadega Coun- ty is Located here. They started to work early to give Conner this section of the county by big majority, but they won't do it. More Cunningham men turned up today than we thought we had. The Cunningham people here are in a much better shape than we thought they were"
 A few minutes after the speaking. Dr. Cunningham left in a surrey for vincent eight miles away. He crossed the Coosa River on a ferry boat, and passed Into Shelby County, which his friends claim for him by large vote. At Vincent for the first time in the campaign, he had to call off his speak ing because of the rain. Notwithstand- ing ali the rain Alabama has been having in the past six weeks. 1t has never ifterfered with one of Dr. Gun nmgham's speakings until he reached Vincent. His friends there were con- fldently looking for large crowd. It had been we'll advertised and many of the leading farmers about Vincent had sent word that they were coming in to hear Dr. Cunningham. But rain- storm came up shortly after dark and continued until long after the ap- pointed hour for the speaking.
 T regret this rain,'' said John H. Kidd, a leading business man of Vim cent. "Of course. pr, Cunningham Is going to carry this place and he is go ing to carry Shelby County. but wanted him to speak here at Vincent so that hia majority could be increased We would have had g big crowd for him, too, if 1t had not been for ths rain But Vincent and Shelby County are going for him. no matter what happens You can put that down About the only opposition to Dr. Gun. ningham in thia section comes from q man who used to make money hiring fthe convicts under the old system, and who is trying to wreak his vengeance on the Liautenant-Governor because he introduced the system which cut down his profits.
