The friends o. ar Bennett all
over the state are making desper-
ATE fight 70 secure for him the nofni-
nation. There Is quite a crowd Of
them and they are not making that
Sort Of 4 contest which Is calculated
to bring Success to the party. ] was
not treated fairly In cabellt county
today, but the rank and file Of the
Democratic party IN that county are
not TO blame. The combination of
the Bennett men against me worked
Win admirable perfection from their
Viewpoint. but IL resulted in very
great deal of bad feeling III that
county.
Il am perfectly willing to take my
medicine like a man, but II we hope
foPsuceess for the party, our contests
should be conducted with eminent
fairness and the sentiment Of the
people shonld come spontaneously.
1t is.a downright. shame and undem-
ocratic, as l have stated heretofore,
to mould public sentiment by the
use OF money. I.have great many
personal friends in Cabell county.
The delegates selected, for the most
part the night before, was informed,
were selected for the very purpose
accomplished today. II the time has
come in the history of the Democratic
party in West Virginia that only
wealthy men can run for office and
can use their money among the peo-
pie ana can send over this state men
in their pay to control nominations,
then want to know what hope the
young men of the state have. have
not spent one dollar for the purpose
OF securing delegates since entered
the race and / shall not do 80.
s9My Information is that a certain
very wealthy land powerful corpora,
ton in West Virginia, which is be,
hind Mr.. Swisher, is also doing every
thing in It's power to secure the nom
nation of Mr.. Bennett, that he may
be sacrificed to elect Swisher."
Litlepage gives the Democrats
something to think about. They
busily engaged themselves in the
charge that lavish use OF money has
been made in the Republican cam.
palgn, but, If Littlepage's declara,
tions are true, they have an oppor'
tunity now to tell the people what
the Democrats are doing with, the
barrel.
The tenor of the Littlepage inter

right shame and un-Democratic, :
shows that he is angry enough to
rend the party, and. the Bennett fol
lowing. which is quite large and in.
fluential, will be melted by it to
greater political activity, which may
farther widen the gulf that threatens
hopeless division of Democracy in
West Virginia.
1t is not a hopeful situation for
Democracy and the hittlebage inter
view will assuredly not mend mat
ters for that party.

Democrats Quarrel.

The Democratic party OF this State
has been making great noise about
factionalIsm in the Republican party,
and in most instances asserting that
Democracy is united and all is peace
and LONELINESS in the Democratic
camp.
But, Adam B. Littiepage in a SEN
sational interview, with a good deal
of acrimonytin it, gives the lie to the
perfect harmony" assertion. In
support of this statement the Tele-
gram quotes literally Adam himself

with him for a year steady, bat lately
he has not called as often as he used
to. He always has such a good excuse
that l have no reason 10 be angry, but
somehow or other it makes me very
uncomfortable, and just because l felt
thai way l could not help picking a
quarrel with him the other night just
because he said a girl was pretty when
| said she wasn't. 1t wasn't that L

help quarreling with him. He a II
l wanted to make such a fuss over

haven't seen him in a week. VIII you

understand your feelings thoroughly.
You made a mistake in keeping your
thoughts to Yourself so long. II o
had told your friend that it hurt o
to have him stay away. probably he
would have explained. But, instead,
you nursed the grudge and it grew and
popped out in another form at the very
first opportunity. / think the best
thing YOU can do is to write a note,
asking him to call. and then have a
good heart-to-heart talk, so that o
can start over again.

when Cooking with Gas.

When one cooks with gas, it will be
found a saving of gas to have all pans
as shallow as possible, since the bottom
of the pan nee heated keeps the con-
tents at boiling temperature with less
gas. Another saving for those who
have but a few articles to cook, is to
purchase the combination pans, four
and five in one section. Even those
who use the Goa stove find this an ex-
cellent method for saving coal and 1t
always reduces the dishwashing.

Care of the Kitchen Range.

When preparing the kitchen stove

will find o can make it clean in a
short time by washing it with hot vine
gar. This also keeps the polish much
nicer and it is less difficult to apply
polish. Where crusty rust marks ap-
pear, use emery paper to remove the
blemish, apply oil of any kind and re-
move the next day with hot suds.
Whiting and ammonia will clean nickle

The yalue 0f AIcOhOl.

Despite the time that has elapsed
since Congress RENTED the duties on
denatured alcohol, too few housekeep-
ers know it's advantages. If they are
not still using pure alcohol, at rs or 80
cents a quart, in their chatting dish,
they are running risks of harm to eyes
and throat, not to speak of a disagree
able smell, from wood alcohol.
Perhaps they think that the de-
natured product is their old friend,
wood alcohol under another name. This
is quite a mistake, as though they both
cost the small sum of fifteen or twenty
cents a quart, the latter is made from
wood, while denatured alcohol is a
grain distillation.
The latter has no acrid fumes, indeed
no odor at all, is not dangerous to
health and does not leave the whitish
deposit on drying, which prevents wood
alcohol being used as a cleanser or as
a mixer for varnish.
The %denatured alcohol can be used
for all purposes that the pure is save
internally. While 1t is a good cleanser
and can be mixed in homemade fur
niture p%olisihes, it is best known as a
fuel.
For the chatting dish, for alcohol
lamps and irons, it is unrivaled, and
there are even night lamps and other
forms of lighting where it has super
seeded kerosene, giving more light at
less cost.
Some enthusiasts predict that it will
be the fuel of the future, but even nov
it is a good substitute for the oil stove
and an adjunct to the gas stove hat is
a great reducer of bills.
