BY Democrats Of Harrison
County Schemedby the
Gang Leaders.
MAJORITY FOR HODGES
Deal Said to Be Under Negotia-
ton in Which Benefits
Purse FIGURES.

\ According to the statement OF a
prominent Democrat of this city who
has carefully investigated the mat
ter, Lewis Bennett. of Weston, DEM
ocratic candidate for governor, viii
in all likelihood, be given a throw
down by the Harrison county dele
gates to the Democratic state conven-
tion, notwithstanding the repeated
statements by some hat a majority OF
the delegates would vote for him.
1t is asserted that more than half
of the delegtes are going to vote for
Thomas H. Hodges, or Morgantown.
and that some of the others, who
were at first supposed to be Bennett
men, have made statements that In
dicate that they are not riveted to the
Lewis couny mans candidacy by any
iron bound pledge.
The assertion is also made that GER
tain manipulations are being made
whereby the Harrison county jdelega-
tion will go.across to the Hodges can
didacy unlss the moneyed candidate
In Harrison's adjoining county sub
stantially recognizes the not over
flowing Golfers of the Democratic
committee in this county. In other
words 1t is said that regular bar
ter and bargain deal of the Harrison
county delegation is now under nego-
tiation by the Harrison county Dem
ocratic gang, and that the county will
be taken away from Benefits candi-
dacy unless that gentleman, to use a
colloquial phrase, comes across with
the mustard. A poll of the senti-
ments of the delegates appointed to-
the state convention is said to give
rise to this belief.

VOTES
ON SATURDAY
For Delegates to the State Con-
vention and SWisher is
: Strong There.

GASSAWAY, June 4-The Braxton
county Republican convention to
name delegates to the state convention
will be held Saturday, June 6, at SUIT
ton. There is quite great deal of
interest being manifested. but II is Of
very friendly nature, the Republi-
'cans desiring no division in our ranks
in order to be able to make the con-
test easier in the election in Novem-
Der for the local ticket Every indi-
cation points to the party being able
to make good in all the county offices
this fall. The Democrats nominated
their slated ticket, which was slated
by the ring around the court house In
Sutton, and the ordinary citizen of
that party had no show or say in the
convention. As to the governors cpn
test. II seems to be the sentiment in
this county not to Instruct for either
Mr.. Swisher of Mr.. Scherr. Mr..
Scherr has a good many friends in
this county and so has Mr.. Swisher
Both will get some OF their friends
on the delegation. It Is not likely
that any move will be made to in
struct for any of the state officers, ex-
cept perhaps for Mr.. Snodgrass, who
is candidate from this county for
state treasurer.
1t Is the disposition Of leading Re-
publicans all over Braxton county to
select the very best men that can be
gotten to the various offices Of the
county, and to distribute these
throughout the county. The J, county
convention TO nominate the county
offices will not be held until about
August l. The one object alone IN
selecting the nominees this time will
be fitness and strength. And there Is
no doubt tbut that the party can win
with such a ticket in the field.

TESTS ARE MADE
OF Boiler Tubes Of Railroad
Locomotives to Change
Them.

A number of railroads. including
the B. & o. and Pennsylvania and
other big railroads of the country.
have been making experiments lately
with a special soft steel welded boil
er tube and it is likely that this part
of the construction work of a loco
motive will be revolutionized before
many more months. Locomotive SER
vice is probably one of the most diff
cult services in which boiler tube
can b placed, and officials of the
motive power department of railroads
are compelled to pay much attention
to this part of the engine.
It is absolutely imperative that
flues be of the best and II they start
leaking the, engine will not he able
to keep itsl schedule time in these
days OF fast running. The steel
tubes have been subjected to severe
tests after long usage and have
shown no undue deterioration, in
fact 1t is said that they we're demon
strated to be superior to the old char
coal tubes in many respects. 1t is
probable that they will be adopted
by railroads.

AS jubilee gift to his holiness.
Pope Plus X, an effort will be made

possible. His holiness, Pope Plus X,
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of his ordination to the priesthood
on December IS, 1908. The Peters
Pence collection will be taken up in
all the Catholic churches of America

ing made to make the collection an
unusually large one. Rt. Rev. p. j,

Instead Of Delegates at the
Democratic County
Convention.
MORE OUT FOR SHERIFF
Several Others Said to Be on
Still Hunt for That
Nomination.

AS one prominent Democrat re-
marked this morning there will not
be any delegates at the Democratic
county convention as they will all be
candidates.
1t certainly does look very much
that way Just now as many Of them
are seeking office-a good many more
of them than have had the courage
to announce themselves through the
columns of newspapers.
Five have already announced for
'sheriff,, four for circuit clerk, one for
county commissioner and no one
knows what the night may bring
forth.
Besides the five announced for
sheriff there is said to be a number
running sufficient to bring the whole
number after that Office up to a bak-
er's dozen.
Now. there is Homer B. Mckinley,
of Salem, popular banker. He is
reported as having an eye on the Of
fee himself. Amos Payne is hust-
ling around some and friends of his
are talking him for sheriff.
Ellis Lyon is another Democratic
war-horse whose services his friends
think ought to be rewarded and may
be he will get the nomination for
sheriff and maybe he will not.
But there are more of them still,
among whom is Boyd NJ. Allen, who
is looked upon as a receptive candi-
date for the empty honor.
All of them are said to be busily
engaged campaigning for the e'nomina-
tion and doing enough talking to out
strip Bryan himself.
The man who made the statement
that they would all be candidates and
there would be none left to be dele
gates seems to be about right about
it

Vice President Of the National
Model Liquor League Dis
cusses Question.
TELLS WHY HE OPPOSES
Cause of Prohibition and Talks
Interestingly on the
License Subject.


George G. Brown, of Louisville,
KY, yice-president of the National
Model Liquor League. who is visit
ing Col. T. T. Wallis, when asked his
reasons for opposingtprohibition said:
''My first reason may appear a
novel one to some persons, but to me
1t is most important one and 1t is
because i believe God in his plan of
creating man and providing for mans
hest development, created him free
agent and deyolved on him personal
responsibility. from which he can not
be relieved by legislative enactment
or any plan of mans 'devising.
prohibition undertakes to relieve
the individual from the exercise OF
that self-restraint that God has i'm.
posed on the individual and at the
same time takes from the individual
his inherent right to exercise his in.
dividual desires in any manner that
is not repugnant to the principles laid
down in the Bible. While saying this
l would emphasize the fact that no
person has the right to abuse himself
or his neighbor and that no man can
drink alcohol to excess without abuse;
therefore, no man has moral right
to do so, and should be glad to see
him have no legal right to become
intoxicated. But, however much this
condition is to be commended, do
not believe it can be had profitably at
the risk of denying the vast multi
tudes of people who use alcohol
stimulants, without abusing chem, the
exercise of that privilege. And any
effort in the direction of taking from
man his God-given privileges is the
exercise of tyrannical power.
This Is the serious objection to
prohibition from the standpoint OF
