piies 10 one office, doesn't 1t to all? In
this Judicial District a Democrat can
not lie elected without Jefferson's ma
ioritv. Berkeley being debatable ana
Morgan heavily Republican. Since the
war, Jefferson has always had to elect
the nominee, and had not had the
iudgeship until on Senator Faulkner 8
election to the Senate. Judge Beckwlth
of Jefferson County was named TO lll
the unexpired term, and il was natur-
ally expected that be would be accord
ed the nomination for the next term
by acclamation. Berkeley aid Morgan
however combined and nominated
Duckwall against the will OF hundreds
of loval De nocrats in both counties,
and since that time Jefierson's 'time"
has never come.
The last Republican Gerrymander
took away one Of Jefferson represen
tatlves in the House ol Delegates, aud
ga Berkeley TWO aud Morgan one.
Thus Berkeley, vita oaly slightly
larger population, gets two reprefenta-
tives in the lower house, and Morgan,
with half the population, gets the
same representation that Jefferson
does. How else eau matters be equal
lied than IN the Senatarshir.
The question has also been raised,
that since Morgan's candidate has his
office in Martinsburg and spends much
time there, whether by his election
Berkeley would not virtually have two
Senators to the exclusion of The other
eount Ties i the District.
No undue advantage should be al
lowed any candidate, and those ca
gagged in trying to set up scheme to
defeat the will of the people are, in my
bargaining without their
