a very interesting story became cur

large number OF friends of Postmaster

cret that Mr.. Hall has expressed a
decided preference for Auditor scherr

been regarded MS likely that Mr..

delegation would result in the nom

Among the Editors
After campbell's Scalp.

A strenuous effort is being made
TO defeat Senator William Campbell,
Of Jefferson county, for, denomination
for the State Senate. Mr.. A. C. Nc
Intire, Of Berkeley Springs, is making
an active campaign for the honor.
with the assistance OF Senator Cray
Silver and his faction Of the party In
Berkeley county. Senator Campbell'5
opponents seem to have full control Of
the pnrty machinery. and they are
putting the screws on with a will. A
hastily called meeting of the senatorial
committee was held in Martinsburg
on Tuesday, and plan adopted by
those who are running matters was
rushed through in short order. The
senatorial convention was called to
meet in Martinsburg on Wednesday.
May 2Oth, scnnt two weeks notice
being given the people. When SEN
tor Campbell, who had been down in
Virginia and who hurried back when
he heard what was going on. arriving
barely in time to ask hearing. re-
questel opportunity to appear before
the committee, he was given scant
courtesy. ten minutes time being
srudgingly allowed him. He pro-
tested against the convention being
called at such an nnprecedentedly,
early date, and on such short notice,
but the scheme had been thoroughly
worked out and the committee gave
no heed to him.
The Berkeley county committee Is
also seeking to put the kibosh on Sem
ator Campbell. Instead of permitting
each precinct to elect Its delegates to
the convention. rs has been the Gus
tom for many years. the committee
has called mass meeting for May
10th. at Martinsburg. at which time,
and place Delegates are to be named
for the senatorial conventions. It will
be a very ensy matter to get a. sufT,-
Client crowd at this mass meeting to
vote down the farmers who may. be in
misunderstanding MS the saloons
are against Senator Campbell-and
unless the plans OF the leaders utterly
miscarry. Berkeley will be solid for
Mr.. McIntire. ~.
They say that all's fair In love or
war. but somehow We cannot endorse
the methods of Senator Campbell's op.
ponents. They are riding roughshol
over the people. and their actions will
strain the loyalty OF good many
Democrats in the district. II they
have aE,worthy cause they should not
be afraid to come before the public
with It. To 5call and hold a conven-i
tion to nominate a State Senator with
less than two weeks notice is indie
feasible, and those & who are using
such tactics are laying. up trouble for
themselves and the party Shepherds.
