Governor May
Not Inter fere
-in the Case of Frank Johnson,
Negro, Who is Sentenc-
ed to Hang.
is BELIEVER IN HANGING
Chief Executive Writes Letter
Explaining His Attitude
on the Question.

~ " I'd
K Some here have entertained the
idea that Frank Johnson, the negro.
sentence to hang because of the
murder of Beulah Martin, will escape
the death penalty. The idea was based
on the impression that Governor Daw-
son is opposed to capital punishment,
and the idea has been formed from
two things. One is that no man or
woman, or other person, has been
hanged during his administration.
The other Is that Charleston news
paper in commenting on a recent
Communication to life Imprisonment
stated that Governor Dawson does not
believe in capital punishment.
But, the Governor has evidently
been misrepresented. as the Parkers-
burg State Journal in commenting on
the destiny OF Frank Johnson init
mated that he would not hang, bas-
ing the intimation on the information.
secondhanded. that Governor Dawson
is opposed to capital punishment.
Governor Dawson, according to edi-
torial announcement by the State
Journal, has written the State Journ-
al atletter in which he says he Is not
opposed to capital punishment, and in
the letter Governor Dawson further
says:
II have, 80 far as ], can, recollect.
committed the sentences OF death to
imprisonment for life in but two
cases: in each OF these acted on what
appeared to be good reasons. and not
because am opposed to capital pun
isment. ~
THAT men shall be punished cap
tally in certain cases. Is the law of
this state, I have taken an oath to
enforce this law. II. I could not en-
force It, because of conscientious
iscruples or for. other like reasons, !
ought to resign my Office. AS I
view 1t. no officer. executive or judic-
ial, should hold his office II his con-
science prevents his performance of
Its sworn duties"
/ This is sufficient to convey the idea
that Frank johnson will hang unless
1t be shown to the Governor that there
were such circumstances as to extern
uate the act. 4ra}
+ With human life in the balance II
Is much more serious to comment on
the merits of the case than under
other circumstances. but in the pres
ent instance. considering the charac-
ter of the offense and the desperation
of the slayer after the deed was done.
there are few, If any. acquainted with
the facts, who hold out the slightest
hope that Johnson will receive any
clemency at the hands Of the chief
executive OF the state. since 1t Is
known that he is not opposed to cap
ital punishment.

NIGHTLY PLOTTING
GANG IS TO WIN
There is Fear That the Coun-
try Districts Will Over
WheIm Its Members.

Candidates in the country districts
and their friends and workers in the
Democratic party little suspect what
is going on nightly here. It is the
custom the last several days for these
candidates who live in the city to
run In every night and hold meetings
late into the night. Some OF the city
candidates are also doing the same.
These meeting are attended by n
few members OF the party. who hold
themselves out as leaders. and, to-
gether with some of the candidates
they frame things up to suit them
selves. Runners from the country
districts come and go too in the effort
to frame the ticket up to suit the gang
here.
II some of the country candidates
and party workers would but get In
to one of these meetings some night
they would be astounded to see and
hear what Is going on.
TIL main worry at these meetings
now is over the country districts.
They believe they have the city pretty
we'll fooled but are afraid the coun-
try districts will come pouring in on
convention day lined up solldiy against
the gang and It's slate. The mission
OF the runners Is to SPREAD lot of
salve through the country and pull as
much wool over eyes as possible.
