his convention did not take that de-
sire seriously. 1t Is more probable
that they really saw through a Chill
ton ruse and concluded TO squeict
It there and then for the final time
In this respect McGraw and the
Bennett following have chance "a
wake up In Harrison county and
doubtless they have already been APP
prised OF what is doing and will be
busy the next few days strengthening
thir fences in this county.
fractional differences have arisen
the last few months, which have ar
rived at a critical point, with danger
OF characteristic treachery to the peo-
pie. While there is but little Little-
page sentiment backed by Chiffon in
the county, yet there are professed
and so-called leaders who are night
~ plotting in behalf Of Hodges. with
the hope that the will of the Demo-
Gratis of Harrison county may be out
ragged. This is to be done, II possl-
Bile. by giving the delegation from
this county entire to Hodges. though
there is fully half the delegates
for Bennett.
It Is not believed these secret plot
tiers and underminers of the wishes OF
the rank and file will be able to
squarely get the solid delegation for
Hodges, but they are aiming to get
even one more than half.of them.
which will be bare majority. and
then vote them all for Hodges under
the unit rule.
Considerable alarm Is felt by the
Bennett people over this movement
on the verge of the convention but
knowledge of 1t has aroused an In
dlgnation which has set the Bennett
fellows to work to resist such an out
rage. They express the confidence
that the Hodges plotters will not be
able to thwart the will of the rank
and file and are determined to resist
such d movement to the last.
Some of those engaged in the move
ment to throw this county to Hodges
are professed friends of McGraw and
have frequently fawned at his feet.
Doubtless, they still make such pro-
fessions and homage, but that they
are insincere is shown by their night
ly plottings against Bennett.
McGraw many not be fully appris-
ed of their pertldy. but, there is as
surance that he will know in time to
give them such trimming as they
never have experienced and then
maybe they will be good.

Business and the Denver Platform.

business and the Denver Platform.
The Denver candidate and the labor
plank in his platform assail every
Legitimate business interest in the
United States. Democratic as well as
Republican business men thro ghout
the country say that 1t would have
been vain to attempt to check the
plunge to Bryan and they did not at
tempt it. Seeing the propriety OF
letting Bryan stand upon Bryan
platform no business man tried to
stop him from getting it. Conse-
quently we are pleased to know that
there is entire harmony between the
platform, so far as the platform goes
and the man who will stand upon
and who dictated 1t.
After hypocritically saying that
"the courts of justice are the bulwarls
of our liberties, and we yield to none
in our purpose to maintain their dig
nifty" the labor section in the plat
form goes on to attack the dignity
and the power of the courts by de-
handing that their procedure In pro-
tecting property and life be radical
ly changed, in all cases in which in
dustrial disputes are involved.
Now let business men of every par
ty discard all political labels and get
at the substance which the labels con-
ceal, and then ask ourselves, what
does this Denver doctrine represent.
We shall see that so far as 1t touches
the country's trade-and it touches
all sorts of trade intimately, and at
many points-this Denver creed is
monarchy and not democracy or Re-
publicanism. A regime run on that
class-generating and class-perpetuat-
ing plan-and unquestionably 1t
would be run on that plan II It's can
didate should be would be
an oligarchy, and not a government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people.
Bryan's election would tell the
country, and the world that reaction
and revolution were dominant in the
United States, and this would destroy
our prestige abroad as we'll as our
prosperity at home. Moreover, how
do We know that Republican Senate
would dare to disobey the mandate
for Bryanite program in legislation
and administration which victory
for Bryan at the polls would bring?
1t is the duty of American business
men, regardless of their party, to
bury Bryan and Organism under such
an avalanche of votes in 1908 that
the work will not have to be done
over again in 1912, or ever.-James
W. Van Cleave, President National
Association of Manufacturers, in
American Industries for July.

WASHINGTON d. c., July 21-
The total production of coal in West
Virginia in 1907 was 4S.O91.583 short

In 1905 West Virginia displaced
Illinois for. second plae among the

umph over Illinois was of short dura-

AS a result of the suspension in
1906, ranging from two months to
ten weeks ut most of the Illinois
mines, pending an adjustment of the
wage scale, the coal production of
Illinois was materially restricted,

state outranked Illinois, with lead
of 1.S10.246 short tons.
The record for 1907. however,
showed that the production of Illinois
made phenomenal increase of o.

West Virginia's increase of 4,S01,233

dropped to third place among the
coal producing states. Compared
with that of 1906. West yirginia's
coal production of 1907 showed an
