A satisfactory substitute for

many have been the experiments
with corn stalks, and other plants

Only partial success has reward

now the department of agricul-

states that complete success has
at last crowned the efforts so dill

the raw material, the quality of
the paper manufactured is super

solves the question of paper sup

Dorsey, the Viper.

Commenting on the real motive Of
the Democratic party in this state IN
inserting a ACKNOWLEDGMENT plank in
its state platform. the Telegram early
in the campaign insisted that the pur-
Dose of that party ultimately, in the
event 1t succeeded in getting into
power, would be to take every step
possible to disfranchise every voter
who disagreed with 1t politically. and
thus cntrench itself In power forever
in West Virginia. The Telegram still
believes that is the Democratic par.
tvs aim, but it is scarcely prepare
to accept as authorized by that party
the remarks of the Rev w. p. Dor
sey. pastor of church in Hunting
ton. made at the Cabell county Dem
ocratic convention few days ago
which remarks tend to corroboratj
and establish beyond peradventurt
the position taken by the Telegram
that that Is the ultimate aim.
Though political hatred may relgr
supreme inS that party. though preju
dice may govern its every action
though design against the publi
welfare may be cherished in it
heart yet II Is hard to believe tina
such hatred, such prejudice. such de
sign extend to the vlciousness an,
bnseness shown in the remarks O

ington has been determined upon "
