When some women think of eXer-

a great outlay of money comes to
their minds. This is not necessarily

The exercise given to-day is one

not to be explosive by Jar or concuesion
A factory of five tons daily canacitv

The decision of Judge w. r. Martin of
Norfolk in the poll-tax cases. in which
he holds that every voter is required to
pay in person and to the treasurer his
poll tax, has created sensation. Judge
Martin is himself disfranchised under his
own ruling. having paid his tax with a
cn"Ck lie holds that a person cannot
delegate another to pay his tax, that a
check is not legal tender and that man
cannot send his clerk or bookkeeper to
pay his taxes
The case was decided in Norfolk some
time ago, having come up on a motion
to strike from the polling list all who
had not paid IN person. The case has
beer appealed and will be brought to the
attention of the court at its session which
begins in Sept mber in the city of Staun-
ton The case Is really brought to have
the supreme court determine for good
and all the question of what constitutes
personal payment. The matter is one
that has been debated for a long time
and one on which there are few who
agree on all the points involved.
The democrats are to open state head
quarters in this city about September 1,
IA which time the real work of the cam

The McGraw-Chilton feud in the demo

Scherr division in the republican party
and is of longer standing. McGraw and
Chiffon have personally clashed with in
ased impetus in recent years as their
ambitions have bucked in the political
arena. Less than two years ago 1t took
twelve ballots of legislative caucus OF
weak minority to decide finally that a
compromise candidate for the United
States Senate was necessary, since neither
McGraw nor Chiffon could command q
majority. They came together at the
state committee meeting when Chiffon lee

same TRAIL AS a result 1t would seem
they had been left at the switch. for of
the more than LOO delegates Bennett
managers claim 7CO. and predict his NOM
Ination hands down on the first ballot.
The most conservative Bennett figures
are that he will get 62J delegates, and
that jO4 will be all the opposition can
muster for Hodges and Littlepage. The
Swisher-Scherr fight for delegates was
Waged largely on geographical grounds,
and so also was the Bennett-Lntlepage
contest
1t is not generally believed that the
Chitons are sincerely for Littlepage. but
they find 1t feasible to support him at
the beginning of the struggle. They do
not give credence to the Bennett claims
of delegates, and there Is reason for their
incredulity, inasmuch as the instructions
for Bennett in several counties were weak
and are not due to be binding Littlepage,
as state counsel for the mine workers. is
popular with organized labor. and work

are disposed to jump instructions and

A Corporation State.
West Virginia Is a corporation state, so
to speak In the last decade it has be-
come industrial rather than agricultural.
The coal companies, oil and gas COM
panies and railroads WELD a strong inf1u-
ence in state politics. These interests
were divided as between Swisher and
Scherr. They will cut figure in the
democratic contest. 1t looks like most
Of them are for Bennett.
The convention will be held next week
in the state capital In the wigwam where
Swisher was nominated. If there is a
bolt, the seceders will meet in the court
house. where Scherr was named unani-
mously The conjectural bolt will come
from the Chiffon or Eittlepage side of the
house. There are really no contests for
the state committee to decide, but ques-
tions will be raised as to instructions for
them. and on that basis the effort to bolt
is likely to be made.
II republicans can bring about two
democratic conventions and two state
tickets thew will not mind the hot

that score, they desire such a consumma-

The Divided Republicans.
The headquarters Of the regular re-
publican state committee will be at
Clarksburg. The Scherr committee has
selected Parkersburg. The Scherr COM
mittee has still vacancies for auditor
and secretary OF state. James X. Hall,
postmaster at Wheeling, named for au.
ditor. got off the ticket this week. A.
S. Bell Of Wheeling was then named as
the candidate for superintendent Of
schools by the Scherr committee as q
substitute for T. c. Miller, who declined
the nomination.
The selection of Bell is somewhat Of
joke, on the Scherr committee. In the
first place he was never a candidate for
the job. and participated In the regular
convention as one of the Hearne dele
gates from Ohio county. Moreover. his
selection as a delegate was one Of the
arguments used by Representative Hub
bard, who appeared for the contesting
committee delegation from Ohio county.
An affidavit was read showing that
Bell had stated he would never vote for
Hall for auditor, which statement was
in direct violation OF Hearne's pledge
not to appoint a delegate who was un-
friendly to Halls candidacy. ~
In view of the fact that Bell was per-
sonally a bone Of contention In the
fight before the state committee, and
when seated as a Hearne delegate took
an active part in the regular conven.
