king protesting against the state of
absolutism which resulted from the
dissolution, and they declared the king
and country had been placed in a dan
gerous position. The crisis in the po
litical situation arose from the fact
that the cabinet, which represented ex-
clusively the new liberal group, found
it's program of reform INSTRUCTED by
both the old conservative end progress
sive parties and decided to ask for the
dissolution of parliament in order TO
bring about the PRONUNCIATION of a
number of measures by means of de-
crees The cabinet was of the opinion
that thus having established its deter
mination radically to reorganize the
affairs of the country 1t could appeal
with the fullest confidence to the peo-
pie in general election.
Franco, the premier, dissolved the
chamber and established a dictator
ship.
After numerous minor risings had
been put down the police, on January
90, came upon widespread plot to
overthrow the monarchy and proclaim
Portugal a republic. The plot was or
Eganized by small group of advanced
republicans, and the original intention
was to assassinate Premier Franco
and depend upon the secret, republican
and labor organizations, armed with
bombs and revolvers, to complete the
work of revolution in the country.
But the police raided the meeting
place of the conspirators and made a
number of arrests, selling quantities
of bombs and other weapons, and since
then other raids have been made In
Lisbon, with the result that the police
believed they had the revolutionaries
well in hand Each day, however,
brought new evidence of the ramifica-
lions of the plot to remove the heads
of the state.
A treaty with England, however, not
only provides far assistance from that
country in the event of foreign inva-
sion, but is also designed to safeguard
the crown against any demonstrations
from revolutionists.
Pretender May Come to Front.

the house of the line Of Braganza, who
formerly reigned over Portugal, the
pretender to the throne, is likely to
come to the front again because OF
the death of King Carlos and the

Queen Maria was restored to the
throne. There have been numerous
rumors of rebellion, with the Object
of placing Dom Miguel on the throne

asm as could be- Even when Mr..

was as dumb as a pile of oysters
and you could nave cut the glum

ocherr men were conspicuous by
their absence.
Both the gentlemen from Nc
Dowell and Mir. Reed addressed
themselves to the mailing of Dem
ocratic lies" In regard to the
charge of waste and extravaganza
they said West Virginia is growing
and it costs more to run the state
Gov. McCorkle's administration Gle,
ing March 4, 1897, cost $2,649,2S0.
Gov. Dawson's administration which
will end March 4, 1909, has al
ready cost $6,3O1,11O. Has the
state grown enough to justify that
rate OF increase?
Mr.. Reed, who is a typical poll
tician, smooth and fluent of speech,
declared that when Republicans
came into power in 1897 they found
a deficit in the state treasury left
by the Democrats of 1921, 900.
And yet right in the town of Union
there lives the outgoing Democratic
state treasurer OF that year. Col.
John NJ. Rowan, who turned over
to NJ. A. Kendall, the incoming Re-
publican state treasurer, the sum of
over eleven hundred thousand dol
lars of state money, the balance
then in the treasury, and took Mr..
Kendalls receipt therefor.

statements, it is not strange that

THE NEGRO VOTE

The negro vote is likely to be
lighter this year than in previous
campaigns. And there IS a reason.
They DO not any longer believe in
the promise Of forty acres and a
mule and similar ante-electior
promises which have become thread
bare after 80 years steady use. They
are wise to the fact that the Repub-
lican party is a lilly white party
wherever IL is to its interest to be
and they also know that the Demo
Gratis regard the placing of the bal
lot in their hands before they were
ready for it as a crime against the
white race. They remember the
Brownsville incident and will not
vote for Taft. The Democrats in
West Virginia insist that It Is bet
ter for both white and colored races
that they be kept separate, not only
in the schools, churches, theatres.
etc, but also in the homes and in
the railway trains. They are wise
10 the fact that the Republican can
d'dates have promised the white
voters that they will support a Jim
Crow law. and those OF them who
are opposed to It say thai II Jim
Crow law IS 10 be passed they
would rather II would come from
the Democrats than from their pro-
fessed political friends. Not being
willing TO vote the Democratic tick
81, and being less willing TO vote
the Republican ticket, many OF
them viii not vote at all.
