one favor to ask the candidate, and
that is that he and his friends vote

the ring is willing TO deliberately lie

MR.. uEARNE'S CANVASS.
Eind Of Campaign the state Machine
Is Making.

4
Our fellow townsman, MIR. Hearne,
IN his campaign for the gubernatonaI
nomination is developing some side
lights that show mp the methods that
are used TO defeat HIM. In an in
terview he speaks thus Of the Upshur
convention:
al carried four OF the six districts
in the county. had a majority OF
the votes cast in the county. And
didn't make campaign, either
personally or through my friends,
with a bundle of money IN one hand
and a bottle of whisky in the other"
To whom does Mr.. Hearne refer
in this connection1 Who is attempt
ing to carry conventions With "a
bundle OF money in one hand and a
bottle of whisky in the othera" The
honest Republican voters Of Upshur
and elsewhere in this state should
make note of these charges and
scratch the candidates who are
guilty of such ncfarious methods.
Again he says impressively and with
truth:
1.-The Lord preserve the people
from mass conventions for misreprc
senting instead of representing the
sentiments of the people. Ii the
people wish TO get rid of machine
rule where the minority dictates a
nomination il can only bc done
through the enactment OF compul-
sorry primary election law, and never
will be as long as one administration
is allowed to name It's successors. as
has been done and is sought 20 be
done by the one just gong out of
Office"
MIR. Hearnc has the courage of his
convictions and is not afraid to de
clare them. HIS campaign Is on
highly moral lines, full OF vigoi and
IN opposition to ring rule ard ring
methods. II his patty has the
strength and courage to purge itself
OF its political impurities 1t will
nominate man who is clean and
free from the influence OF the Office
holding salraps. Wheeling Regis
ter.
That is the way the machine lines
the boys up. The machine is never
strong in campaign unless it can
hand cut the "loDg green" and dis
pense the ardent. II ever there was
any doubt as To the kind Of a cam
paign ii is making the Upshur affair
furnishes the proof.
1t The Republicans Of Preston ex
pect 10 defeat the machine candi
dates they must not neglect going TO
the primaries April II. Otherwise
the money in one hand and the
bottle of whisky in the other" may
land the prize.

There IS one thing which must
be gratifying TO the temperance peo-
pie, and tha, Is they smoked Gov.
Bill Dawson out and made him
show his hand on the temperance
question. Bill has been loud in his
declarations that he was a Prohibi.

meetings and telling the temperance
people how he favored the prohi
biiion laws. But when il came to a
showdown Bill lined up on lfe

Let the Voters Decide.

The farmers Of Preston should not
forget that Senator Montgomery
voted to exempt from taxation the
products Of the farm and all stock
under year of age, but Gov. Daw-
son and his friends defeated this
excellent and worthy piece of legis-
lation. The farmers must now
choose between Montgomery and
the state administration candidate.
The Journal refuses to tell the farm
ers and the laboringmen the kind OF
legislation which Senator Montgom
cry advocated and voted for. Let
the voters decide whether the Jour
nal is not opposing Montgomery for
personal reasons.

MAY Drop SWisher.

There is well authenticated
rumor that Gov. Dawson IS sorely
disappointed at the showing Charles
W. Swisher is making for governor
and he intends to desert him and
take up some other gentleman and
groom him as the state administra-
ton candidate. Those who are ia
miliar with Gov. Dawson's political
tactics will not be surprised to hear
this, for it has always been his rule
to sacrifice friend and foe alike if it
would assist Bill IN his own political
aspirations.

Museum of Natural History Receives
Relic of Explorers Travels.

New York.-Paul Du Chaillu's
sledge, which he used in his winter
journeyings in Lapland and described
in his Land of the Midnight Sum-"
was recently presented to the Ameri-
can Museum Of Natural History by
Harper Brothers.
The sledge, or kerre as 1t is called
in Lapland, looks like badly built
round bottomed boat with the stern
cut off square It Is constructed OF
nine hewn fir planks, the center one,
about two inches thicker than the
others, forming sort of keel which
takes the place of runners, but Is soon
worn down by travel The ,sledge Is
drawn by reindeer harnessed to 1T by
a single strong twisted leather trace
fastened to collar about the animals
neck. The reindeer is guided by a
single rein attached to the horns.
These kerres are also used as coftins
by the Laplanders.

he came to gown that had familiar
appearance.
1t was of fine texture and highly EN-,
broidered, but the most remarkable
thing about it was the tight-ftting cut.
The resemblance to the modern sheath
gown was most striking.
The professor says that he has evi-
dence which would tend to prove at a
later period, In EGYPT, the gown was
worn by the women, and ancient rec
ords tend to show that the queen of
Sheba wore it to make a favorable i'm.

1t also found place in the outfit of

The single, tight-fitting gown worn
at the present day by eastern women
is a modification Of the same gown.

BEATS RECORD FOR SIZE.
Hat Made at La Crosse, Wis.,. Is Eight
and Three-Quarters Fedora.

La Crosse, Wis.-The La Crosse hat
works has just turned out the largest
sized soft hat ever manufactured for
a human being, and 1t will be worn
by La Crosse county farmer whose
name is withheld upon request of the
hat works. The hat is a Fedora in
shape and 81 in size. 1t was made to
order and is an exact fit for the man
who will wear It. This is two sizes
b.geer than the largest hat | ever
heard of in 30 years experience in
this business" said Mr.. Wenzel.
while employed in a hat factory at
Danbury, Conn, which town boasts of
81 factories of this kind, I saw An 8A
hat made for an eastern man. This
was a record breaker, but La Crosse
county has man whose head is just
two sizes larger. Our scale of measure
ment show that this mans head Is
271l inches in circumference. The
normal head measures % inches. A
peculiar coincidence in connection
with the filling of this record breaking
order is that at the same time we
we're making the smallest mans hat
we ever heard Of the size being 6A .
This mans head has a circumference
Of only 1914 inches.
