KIcKERs IN BERKELEY.

The Charleston Gazette takes up
1.-THE, recent senatorial contest as fol-
lows:
Some of our exchanges are inno-
Gently lending their valuable columns
to the advertising of plain kick in
Berkeley county. Mr.. McIntire has
been nominated in the fifteenth dis
trict. The delegates appointed by
Berkeley county were seated by the
senatorial convention and by the state
committee. What is left to be consid-
cred by any committee? What is the
duty of democrats in the primaries?
What is kicker" unless he be one
who refuses to submit when a fair
convention of his party has acted? A
minority in Berkeley county and some
of the friends of defeated candidate
are trying to arouse sentiment against
a regular democratic nominee. 1t is
nothing short of preposterous to sup
pose that any action now could undo
what has been done. 1ihe sole ques.
ton involved is, shall Berkeley coun-
ty choose her own delegates in the
way fixed by her county committee?
She acted and all the conventions held
so far have seated her delegates. 1t
would mean chaos to set aside the ac-
ton now, and those who are keeping
the subject alive are simply injuring
the party. 1t is about time for the
party to let it be understood that a
regular convention, regularly called,
means something. Mr.. McIntire is en-
titled to democratic support The
manner of calling conventions and Sc
lecting delegates is a question for
the committee to decide, not the can
didates. Everything in Berkeley was
fair and open and the controversy has
reached the kicking" stage"

ORDERS STEEL STRUCTURE
Plans Are Made To Bridge the Poto.
mac Regardless of County
Court
Court.

At meeting of the directors Of
the Washington and Berkeley Bridge
Co., held Monday afternoon at Will
Transport, instructions were given to
Mason D. Pratt, engineer, to draw
new plans for bridge the superstruc-
ture of which is to be of steel, and to
advertise for bids for construction as
soon as possible. Mr.. Pratt stated that
he could have the plans ready and
bids in hand by August.
Having Abandoned te idea of erect
ing concrete bridge owing to the in
creased cost, the directors intend
constructing the next most practical
kkind of work. The piers will be of
concrete, as the first plans called for,
with the superstructure of steel. The
floor will be of vitrified brick or con-
crete. The estimated cost of such a
bridge will be between $4,000 and
SIS, 1000. The use of concrete or brick
for paving the bridge will materially
increase the cost, but mean a great
saving in the expense that would at
tach plank floor.
The meeting was attended by all
of the directors except Mr.. d. c.
Kemp, who is i'll. Much interest was
manifested and plans We're outlined
for raising the remainder of the SUBJ
scription necessary to go ahead with
the project. II sufficient amount of
money is not raised the company will
issue bonds for the balance Engineer
Pratt stated that it would be the pur-
pose to build the piers before cold
weather and the work on the super
structure could be carried on through
the winter.

Senator Lodge in paying tribute to
the republican party in his address as
permanent chairman of the national
convention said:
we believe in the maintenance of
law and order and in the support of
the courts in all men and are opposed
to special privileges for any man or
any class of men, high or low, rich or
poor. We, who established the gold
standard, are pledged to the cause OF
sound finance. We stand for protec-
tion to American industry and Ameri-
can labor, and we will resist all the
assaults of free trade, under whatever
name it comes disguised. We will
see to the defence of the country. We
mean to have a Navy worthy of the
American name. We seek peace and
friendship with all the nations, but al.
lance with none. Yet we have no in
tention of being a hermit nation .
The great services of the president to
the worlds peace will be continued by
the party which he has led. We are
a party TT to rule and govern, to leg
islate and administer, and not for.
tuitous collection of atoms whose only
. form of thought or motion is to OPP,
pose. Above all, we are true to our
/ traditions and to our past--true now,
as we were in the days of Lincoln.
In this spirit we must prevail-by
this sign We must conquer. The man
who cannot support the above princi,
pes has certainly never given the
question of government serious con-
sideration.

The prolonged applause given the
mention of President Roosevelt's
name at the Chicago convention gives
an idea of the esteem in which ne is
held by the great body of politicians
of the country. That he could have
received the nomination there is alb
solutely no doubt, but his word was
out and no man, or set of men, could
induce him to retract the position he
took on the evening of the election
when he declared that under no con-
dition would he again be candidate.
He is undoubtedly the greatest man
in public view today, and his greatness
is due 10 his ability and honesty. His
name will go down in history as one
of the greatest presidents this country
has ever produced, and his administra-
ton will be noted for his wonderful
achievements in bringing to the bar
OF justice those who have sought to
suck the life-blood from the masses
by secret and unjust business methods.
Of course, his administration will end
on the 4th of next March, but the re.
publican party is pledged to continue
the policies he has Laid down, and that
this will be done is no question. The
people of this country are not going
TO turn this great govrnment over 10
the democratic party at this time
They had trial of that when they
elected Grover Cleveland, and this is
still fresh in their memory. The poll

In making a canvass for the nomi-

of the business, which can be verified
by the county records, but that it is
my intention never TO resume the

suit of my present efforts.
Being unable to see many voters
personally, / take this method OF max
