THE CHlLTONITES
ARE VERY SORE
Election Of Mccraw as National Com
mitteeman is Not Liked by
Their Following.

Wheeling. w. Va, July 1Ss-While
it is true that all is not harmonious
among the republicans OF West virs
ginaa, il is also true that other in
gradients besides that OF harmony is
the makeup of the democratic party
of the state. The democrats are
still arguing among themselves in the
state over who is the original Bryan
man and the choice OF McGraw over
Chiffon for national committeeman in
Denver last week, has not tended to
get the two factions any closer to-
gether and it does not require amy
great imaginative powers to foresee
what will be the conditions in West
Virginia democracy should the predic-
ton of Willis j. Abbott that Chiffon
Is to be made national chairman, come
true. Abbott has been recognized as
Bryan's mouthpiece in his campaign
and there are still many OF Chilton's
friends through the state who believe
that the peerless one will show his
belief in Chiffon by having him made
chairman of the national committee,
though reports from Denver say that
it is believed that Dahlman is Bryan's
choice.
The Chiffon followers in the state
have not yet gotten over the disap-
pointment they felt when they receiv-
ed the news that McGraw had been
chosen by the West Virginia deiega-
ton. They contend that Bryan has
expressed himself about as strongly
as it would have been advisable for
him to have done so in favor of Chill
ton for the place and they consider
the election of McGraw a slap at the
nominee for president.
Col. Joe Chiffon, who did not at
tend the convention, but remained at
his home in Charleston, was very
much disappointed when he received
the news Of his brothers defeat and
in an interview he said that the cleo
ton of McGraw was brought about by
men who are not for Bryan in an eff
fort to compromise things.

mo CORPORATION
MONEY FOR TAFT
Banker Framework. Of Chicago, VIII
Organize Northern Blacks Against
TAFT and Sherman.


Taft and Sherman.
Hot Springs, Va, July 20.-The Re
publicans have stricken corporations
on their list as contributors to the ma
tional campaign fund Mr.. Taft said:
The Republican national committee
will accept no contributions from cor
porations'
This declaration was made by the
candidate in response to questions az
to the effect Of the Law passed by con.
gress In January. 1907, forbidding con.
tributions to campaigns for the cleo.
ton Of presidential electors or mem
bers of congress. The penalty for o
violation of the law is maximum fine
of $4,000 for the corporation. Any
member who consents to the contribu
ton Is liable TO q fine Of $1,000 or Q
years Imprisonment or both.
The Republican and Democratic
pledges on the publicity issue are nov
at one with each other, except thai
Bryan has promised to make public
the contributions to the Democratic
fund before election and has pledged
himself not to accept more than $10,-
900 from any individual. While the
Democrats apparently scored hit In
promising publicity before election.
they have not, Republicans point out
subjected themselves to the operation
Of any law, and the matter stands
merely as a pledge on their part with
no penalty for non-fulfilment.
The impression that National Treas.
urer George r. Sheldon conveyed when
he was here week or so ago was that
contributions would be accepted from
corporations, but he probably hadn't
heard then of the federal law on the
subject
Although Mr.. Taft did not mention
Gompers' name, 1t Is evident from re.
marks made by him that he does not
believe the organized labor leader can
deliver the labor vote to Mr.. Bryan OF
to anybody else.
Mr.. Taft was asked II he had no
ticed statements published In New
York that Mr.. Gompers could not de.
liver the labor vote. His reply was
that there is no so-called class In the
American electorate so under the con.
troll of leaders that its votes can be
delivered. He admitted that there is an
uncertain number whose views might
find expression through their leaders,
but In considering the votes of the
class as a whole one would have to
eliminate a large number who are
either Democrats or Republicans and
who vote in accordance with their
personal convictions.

TWO IMPORTANT CASES
Hannis DlstiIIino Co. Appeals From
Tax Assessment Heard
From jefferson County.

From The World Of Tuesday.
Two important cases, both OF gen.
erai interest, were argued today be-
fore Judge E, Boyd Faulkner in his
Office.
The first case was that OF the Han
mis- Distilling Co. against the county
court of Berkeley county, being an
appeal from the tax assessment OF
that court for the year 1907. Two ap.
peals had been taken before from
Judge Faulkner's decision. by the dis
filling company: ore for the year 1905
and the other for 1906 and both were
affirmed by the supreme court OF ap-
peals Of the state Of West Viz ginia.
The Hannis Distilling Co. claims
that this case is much more fully pre-
pared and conforms in every respect
to the requirements laid down in the
opinions made in the former cases.
The case was argued by Woods and
Walker for the distilling company.
anu MIL NdItiuSuuiE 3, anu diIktSOn
OF Romney, for the county court.
1t may be added that the tax i'm
posed by the county court for the year
1907 was on $4,000 barrels of whiskey
valued at $4,000.
A Road Case.
The other case was that OF Milton
=. Allies, OF Washington. and Others.
against William F. Italian from .]effer-
son county. A mandatory was asked
to remove the gates on Prospect
and whitman avenues at the resi-
dences of Major Sylvester, Mr.. Allies
what is known as The CastIe'1 and
others on Bolivar Heights, w. Va.
The case was argued by Col Forrest
w. Brown, OF Charles Town, for the
plaintiff, ard J. M. Woods for the de-
PENDANTS.
The decision OF the court was re-
served In both cases.
Special Court Term.
There will be a special term OF court
for the county of Berkeley on Satur-
day, July rs, at 10 a. m.

A DOLLAR AND A MORAL
Western JeweIer--T Takes Whack at
Mail-order Houses.

The Clemens Oskamp, Cincinnati
jewelry concern. takes UP most OF a
handsome advertisement in the Times
Star OF Jcly with this story:
Gone Forever.
Six years ago, in Webster county,
Utah, a farmer put his initials on a
dollar bill. Next day he came to Og-
den and spent it with merchant Be-
fore six months had passed he got the
81 me dollar back. -Four times in three
years the bill came back TO him for
produce. and three times he heard OF
1t in the pockets of his neighbors. The
hast time he saw the bin was three
house. He viii never see that bill
again. The dollar bin will never pay
any more school or county taxes for
him, will never build or brighten any
more homes in the community. He
sent it entirely out of its usefulness
to himself and his neighbors when
he sent it to the mail-order house.
Moral:
Trade at your home jewelry store,
where your dollar buys most anything,
and where you may get it back again
and boost Cincinnati.
Having pointed out the moral the
advertiser goes on to tell of bargains
