.HARMER FAILS
TO QUEER IT
Halmer Party Wanted TO Keep Pro
hibition Ticket on OF, the
Official Ballot
THE MOVE FAILED 10 MoRK.
Prohibitfonists win More Than
Likely Resent This Brazen AT
front ON Harmer's Part

The Telegram stated a few DAYS
ago that the Harmer set was llan
uing day and night to get the Pro
htbition ticket ont or the field. Late
Developments have shown that the
Telegram spoke the plain, untarnish-
ed truth. Yesterday the whole thing
revealed itself, when the attempt was
made before the board of ballot com
mfssioners to withdraw the Prohi-
bitlon ticket and prevent 1t from go-
ing on the official ballot. This at-
tempt was not made by a Prohibls
tionfst but by one who is a Democrat
and does not believe IN Prohibition
principles, or at least does not prac-
tiee them in a political way. He
did not succeed.
IL matters not to the Telegram
whether the Prohibition ticket re-
mains in the field or not, but ii iss
fair TO ASSUME the candidates on
that ticket believe In their prlncI-
pies and will be found bravely CON
tending for them, as II was deter
mined by resolution at their county
convention hereafter to do. That
convention pledged them against
taking action In the interest of any
political party than their own.
The attempt on the part OF the
Harmer set to get the Prohibition
ticket out OF the way. without It's
consent or even with 1t, is brazen
affront that the Prohibitionlsts will
douhtlessly resent most bitterly

LECTION FRAUD
PLANS EXPOSED
Harmer Party's Plan to Disfranchise
Hundreds Of Legal Voters in the
City Is Revealed.
THE TWo DAYS ONLY PLAN
Was Concocted in Order to Take Ad-
vantage of Mil and Factory
Hands aud Many Others.

Murder will out. So do the sec
refs OF the Harmer party, for they
can not keep their deliberations sec
ret all the time as they set out to do.
II now appears that the movement
of that party, as was attempted by
Mayor Harmer to ride through the
city council, limiting the registration
of seventeen hundred voters in
Clarkshurg to but two days, was con-
cocted for the purpose of depriying
all but the Harmer bunch from regis
tering. They figured 1t out that the
employees at the wholesale houses,
the mill and factory people, the mer-
chants, the clerks and many others,
who are busy from early morning I'M
til night and not like the idle fell
lows that largely comprise the Har-
mer following, would not give much
attention to registering. In fact,
they conceived the idea that all these
merchants. clerks, business men,
bankers. mill and factory men would
be so busy looking after business and
doing their work that they would
overlook the matter of registering
either of the two days, and as the re-
suit the Harmer set would harass
them at the polls to the extent that
shey would become disgusted and
not vote, A part of the plan was to
lay Il all on the council election day
and try to make the unregistered
voter sore at the council and the Re
publican ticket.
Another feature of their plotting
against the majority of the voters of
Clarksburg was to have the few Har-
mer runners and loafers to gather a
few and register them quietly, just
the same way they nominated Har-
mer at that famous star-chamber
meeting in Captain John Coffman' S
Office, when they did not desire the
men they expect to vote for Harmer
. TO have any say as to who should be
on the ticket, and then run them In
on election day as the only ones hay-
ing the right to vote.
Every one else except these favor
ed few were to be challenged, an
noyd and harassed on election day.
and these few were to vote the Har-
mer ticket and try to name the next
mayor Of Clarksburg in defiance of
the wishes of the great majority of
the citizens of Clarksburg.
Indeed, it was the game of des-
peradoes and Just as unrighteous as
Il was desperate. But the council
Itself and the new assessor saved the
day for the people of Clarksburg.
when they said every man who has
the right to register. should have
ample opportunity.
The Telegram in the interest Of
every man in Clarksburg who has
the right to vote, be he rich or poor,
black or white. minister or layman,
American or foreigner, has exposed
the high-handed and dishonest game
OF the Harmer party, and the mer-
chants, the clerks, the mill and fac
tory employees and all other true
American citizens have been aroused
to that point of indignation that
there is every prospect of burial of
Mr.. Harmer's official career SO deep
that he win never again even seek
public office.

YOUNG ro CONTEST
Still in County Court for Office Of
School Commissioners.

The information on which this pa
per published an article last week to.
the effect that John T. Young had
abandoned his contest of the eIec9
tion OF Edward B. Robinson as presi-
dent of the B. OF e. of Tenmile his
tricf, seems on closer investigation
TO have been incorrect. Instead Of
Young's attorneys dropping the con-
test, they announce that the battle
will he fought to the last ditch. The
Telegram's informant was confused
as to which side of the controversy
had abandoned the field, the fact Of
the matter, as we have since been
informed, being that the attorneys
for Robinson have abandoned the ap-
peal to the circuit court. The pres
ent standing Of the case is that it
will now be heard on its merits be-
fore the county court.

OF WINDOW
At Christ Episcopal Church in Mem.
ory of Parents of Mrs.
Richard I. Lowndes.

AT khe morning service of Easter
Day there will be unveiled at Christ
Episcopal church a memorial window
of unusual beauty in expression. 1t
Is a gift to the church from Mrs.
Richard T. Lowndes.
The memorial was executed in
Favrile glass by the Tiffany Studios
of New York, and has for its sub
ject, the passage of the14th chapter
of the Gospel OF ST. John In which
Christ comforting his disciples, says:
Il am the way, the truth, and the
life; no man cometh to the Father
but by me. This passage is thought
fully and reverently expressed by the
artist, Mr.. Frederick Wilson, who in
his conception of a Just delineation
OF the theme, shows a mountain path.

light at the summit. Struggling up

journey. their eyes illumined with
the light of faith, are two pilgrims,
and standing above them is the
Savior, at his feet lantern signify
ing the light of the world, with his
arms outstretched to receive them
into the house of many mansions. In
the treatment of the theme, there is
an ideality of understanding of the
spiritual force of the subject, and in
every sense the fullness of the divine
lesson is apparent.
The coloring of the window is of
unusual depth of tone, and there is
an evidence of an appreciation OF the
use of glass necessary to the de-
mands of every element of design.

effect. The panel at the base of the
window bears the dedicatory inscrip-
