Yesterday In publishing the vote Of
Paul NJ. Hawkins a typographical er
ror in whichtWo figures we're transpos
ed caused the vote to read 275j9SO,
when it should have read according
to the record Of the vote as 257,sSO.
This statement is made in fairness to
all concerned as the difference caused
in the transpositlon is about $4,000
votes. So IT will be readily seen that
While the vote was Slightly increased
over the previous announcement 1t was
not such an Increase as the figures In.
dicated.
So many questions are being asked
about the manner Of closing the con.
test that the West virgtnlan desires
to as thoroughly explain the closing
as possible. The issue Of the paper
Of Saturday, August 81, will show the
standing of each of the candidates az

he counted then.
Time Changed to 8 p. m.
At The request of so many Of the
contestants the time of closing will be
changed to S o'clock Saturday evening
instead Of 6 as heretofore announced,
THIS we think a good suggestion and
we have acqulesced in this request be-
lieying that the best accommodation
Will be given to all interested in this
way, as this will give everybody q
chance to get their meals and their
evenings work of hand and will give
the candidates a few more hours 'to
wind up their work when their books
may be delivered by them into theI
hands Of the ridges, who will be an
nounced later
All persons casting votes on that
evening will I'll out properly all voting
certificates and seal them up with
their money for subscriptions and
have them ready to place in the hands
of the judges at the specified time,
then 1t will be only a matter Of an hour
or two before the result can be ascer.
tained and announced.
BE SURE AND GET THE NAME

An absolutely square deal Is what
everybody wants and is. what the West
will use its best efforts tO|

tie result as no one will know nor
have any means Of knowing what MIN
i,er Of votes any candidate on the clos
ing day will cast, as that will be mat.
ter that cannot be determined by any
method Of calculation or guess work
end will be a secret within the breast
of the candidate that can be given
out from no other source.
The Miners Special vote has scared
higher than any other class vote, reach
ing nearly 10000, Notwithstanding
the fact that the candidates for the
honors in this class were just one week
later in starting than any Of the other
classes. Mr.. John ]. Bremen, Of the
Shaft Mine, stands today elected asI
the most popular mine employe in Ma.
rion county, unless some very active
campaigning or organization is made
between now aud the time Of closing
of the conest this standing will remain
the same and be final. Walter wilt,
a popular miner Of Kingmont, stands
next highest in. this class and has over
$4,000 votes. There are number Of
others who have made good showing
Mr.. Bremen will be heartily congrat'
ulated If he Is successful in winning
out in this race, as there could hardly
be a higher tribute paid to any man
in Marion county than to be voted the
most popular Of all men among the
interests which predominant IN
