Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-06-26

Mr.. Thomas 7. Lemen, who has
been cons table Of Martinsburg district
for number Of years, announces that
he has changed MS politics and Is
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for the office oil justice of the peace
of Martiasburg. Mr.. Lemen has all his
life been a working democrat and Mas
been elected to the office of constable
several times on the democratic ticket.
His family for generations have been
democrats and he was born and raised
in the old democrat county Of Jefier-
son At Sheph srdstown. tits old party
friends see him take the step with =
good deal Of regret. He will find 1t very
lonesome, GIL that size OF the fence
even though he lands in pastures
green.
The reason given by Mr.. Lemon for
his change OF heart ~ is that the
democratic county Court refused to
pay constables aud magistrates crimi-
nal fees as the former republican court
had done, thereby causing him heavy
money loss. We cannot understand
this excuse as the present republi can
court does not pay such costs. y
