BENNETT FAMIL Y
ASSUMES CONTROL
Democratic Party Turned Over
by Leaders TO Their
Keeping Entirely.

PARKERSBURG, Aug. AT the
first meeting OF the state Democratic
leadership since the Charleston con-
Ventlon in this city last night. Par
kersburg was selected as headQuar-
ters for the campaign. and William
George Bennett, of Weston. brother
of the Democratic standard bearer,
The vote stood eight for Parkersburg.
two for Clarksburg and three for
Wheeling.
After three scrappy sessions the
state executive committee last night
selected Judge William George BEN
nett, of Weston, brothr of Louis Ben
nett or Weston. brother of Louis BEN
chairman of the committee. and
thereby the Chiltons and their coterie
accomplished one of the things up
on which they had set their souls,
namely, the snatchinE of the scalp of
George l. Neal, of Huntington, who
up until yesterday had been looked
upon as certain to be the new chair
man.
1t was in, reality an echo Of the
fight for member of the national
committee which was fought out in
Denver during the Democratic ma
tional convention between John r.
MCGraw. OF Grafton and w. e. Chill
ton, of Charleston.
1t was Meals vote which elected
McGraw. and of course, the Chlltons
never forgaveN George l. for his
change. They came back and de-
clared that they harbored no i'll will
against the Huntington man and then
went after him. and what's more.
they landed him too and today the
Charleston men went back home
happy in the thought that they had
laid him low.
