At the Late-Hour Meeting
Held by the Gang IN
the City.
THREATS TO BREAK SLATE.
Unless Some Names Are Eras-
ed and Others Written
Thereon at Once.

! \
There were some things doing last
night among the few who gathered in
the star-chamber meeting and the
hour was late, when they dispersed.
The Corn Exchange was not mixed up
with 1t. though IT. sometimes holds
late, discussing seeds, hayseeds but
mostly corn seed.
One who was there and did not
like the way everything Is attempted
to be framed talked some-on the
side today. 1t was not exactly in
a whisper either-loud enough to get
around some,
All was pretty well settled as to
the nomination for sheriff. That has
been framed up several days, though
some of those who were accommodate
ed in times past and done the neigh
borly turn, have forgotten 1t all and
are presumably enlisted in another
candidates cause.
But. the rub came as to some other
offices to be filed. 1t was not case
of rub 1t off the slate, but a case OF
demanding that 1t should be rubbed
off. The fracas in this one instance
was over clerkship of the county
and, by the way it can be applied to
both ends in this respect But, the
case in point at the melee, II such 1t
may be called, was the turning down
of life-long Democrat, one who has
fought the battles of Democracy with
pen and ballot and time and whose
family members are loyal and have
been even to the extent of bloody
battle for the party and its princI-
pies, as taught by the forefathers, II
not by the present sort of Democracy,
turning such an .one down for one
who. It is charged by many Democrats
has entered. into a contract to divide
half the revenues of the office with
a Republican.
Under such circumstances is there
any wonder that 4 row should be
started? Those of the Democratic
party who know about the unholy
compact say 1t is an outrage and will
not be tolerated. but they are destig-
ed to struggl ehard against the gang.
If they overcome and nominate man
who is straight-out Democrat and
without political entanglements,
which, in the event of election. would
make him powerless to carry out the
will OF Democracy.
The gang did not quite succeed in
patching up this part of the slate and
the meeting broke up with a.
crack in the slate that the
crayon had not filled with
party chalk-a crack that kept 1t
thinking no doubt until after the wee
hours A little putty will doubtless
be sufficient the gang thinks. but,
when the time comes Democracy will
be aroused to such an extent by the
exposure of the compact that 1t will
vote against 1t to hold It's self-respect.

tional Convention.
COMPROMISE AGREED ON
Taft Men Say 1t viii Stand
Alone However-CorteI-
you Boom SwelIs.

f CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 9.-Much in
terest Is attached to the meeting oi
the Republican National Committee
today because a vote win be taken on
proposition to compromise on con-
testing delegates from ouisiana. Taft
managers, although somewhat sur
prised yesterday by the extent to
which the compromise movement
found favor, today determined thai
the delegates who are entitled 10
their seats should have them without
being compelled to split their votes
with men who are not in their opinion
properly selected, On the other hand
the advocates of compromise re-
snewed their arguments made yester-
day suggesting that the seating Of
both contesting delegations would be
a move highly expedient in attaching
the Negro vote to the Republican par
ty. Many messages passed last night
between this city and Washington
relative to the situation and the re
suit is especially forcasted by the
attitude of the Taft managers who
are firm in their determination not to
compromise.
ferring and telegraphing and tele-
phoning IT was finally agreed with the
full consent and approval Of both
Taft and Roosevelt that Taft and the
anti-Taft delegations from Louisiana
should be seated with a half vote
each. The Taft men however, de-
clared that the Louisiana contests will
stand alone so far as compromise
Is concerned.
Speaker Cannon is here and today
declared himself candidate for
President until they stop voting or
elect some one eise.''
Th headquarters of John II. Ham
mond. candidate for vice-president,
were opened today.
1t is reported Senator Lodge will
present the name of Governor Curtis
Guild as candidate for vice presi-
dent
Senator Dick arrived here today and
announced himself for Foraker first,

SUTTON SURE
TO Be NAMED
Feels Confident he Will be
Chosen as Candidate
for Governor

Hon. o. o. Sutton. who is a candi.
date for the Prohibition nomination
for governor. was in the city yesterday
afternoon and evening. He was on
his way to the eastern part of the
state where he goes to look after his
political interests, as well as to at
tend to business matters. The state
nominating convention will be held
in tins city Wednesday and Thursday
of next week and Mr.. Sutton is con-
fident Gf receiving the nomination ut
the hands of the convention.
In an interview to Telegram re
porter Mr.. Sutton said: THE time
is now at hand when the Prohib-
tionists of the state will be called
upon to name state ticket at their
convention in this city next week
have every assurance of receiving
the nomination for governor. and be-
lieve that all opposition to me will
die out by that time as indications
show that my strength is gaining all
the while.
While I have the highest regard
for MIR. Mills, who is seeking the
nomination, yet his present position
as state chairman and organizer .s
such that he could not well accept tho
nomination. as he is needed by tho
party to continue the work he has in
hand. The party to gain vantaEr
ground must reach out for new men:
divide the honors.
II am West VirSinian to the core
and believe first that West Virginia
should he honored. Scores of letters
written me by Prohibltionists from all
over the state say ] am the logical
man to receive the nomination. While
the contest promises to be a lively one
in friendly spirit, however, and the
convention the largest in the history
Of the party n the state. yet my usual
custom of fighting to the last ditch
will he in evidence next week, not only
for this nomination but for the cause
Of Prohibition"
