IL won't work---this full dinner
Daii'' and prosperity argument
that Is being put up by Mr.. Taft
1t Is being put up by Mr.. Taft 1t Is
one OF two things: Mr.. Taft forgets
that we are in the throes OF par
ic, or he is talking with the delib-
crate purpose OF deceiving his hear
ers. The Springfield Republican ad-
vises him to drop IT, saying:
Judge Taft ought TO retire one
OF his arguments on behalf OF the
Republican ticket which he is max
ing more extended use OF as the
campaign nears an end This Is the
contention, as made yesterday in
one OF his New Jersey speeches, that
choice between the Republican
and Democratic tickets is a choice
between immediate resumption OF
prosperity and continued depression
through the next four years. That
might sound very well, but for the
fact that we have had extreme panic
and depression under full Republi-
can auspices, and this fact simply
makes the contention ridiculous for
to make voters smile than to win
their suffrages."

Huntington Advertiser.
There was cons derable OF SEN
sation caused here last night. and
mucn discussion following the ex-
pose in last night's o.
Une Wholesale frauds contemplated
by the Republican bosses n Cabeii
county by means OF false registra-
tion. For some days in fact weeks,
it had been whispered about that
the registration rolls were being
padded, but few had the slightest
conception that the padding was TO
be done on the enormous scale II
was shown had been done.
FIGURES THAT DON'T LIE.
Most of the talk last night on
street corners and N hotel lobbics
as well as at the clubs and other
places where men congigate, csn-
tered around figures. those cold
figures that will not lie, nor can
tney be made to lie Only some
seven thousand votes were ever
cast in any election in Cabell coun-
ty. This is admitted on an sides.
by both Democrats and Republicans.
The Registration this year will show
over twelve thousand voters in Ca
bell county. Tn is admitted by
all; the figures are there to show
1t.
Where these FIVE thousand voters
came from in less than two years IS
what is causing all the talk. On the
basis of four people to one voter
there are twenty thousand more
people in Huntington than there
were two years ago, for the regis
tration IN the country districts Is
about the same as the vote two and
four years ago, showing that the
twenty thousand gain population
N the county has come rom Hunt
ington.
WHY 30 STREET ADDRESS?
II only the street address OF the
one registered. had been put on the
registration book, the elimination
OF the illegal voter would be com
paratively easy. But ths was not
done. The reistrar could have ask
ed this Of the Cne applying 70 be reg
stored but failed to DO 50. Why.
is not known, other than that the
registration law does not compel
him to do so. As soon as the reg
istration law was passed. and print
ed in the papers, this .oop mole, or
rather license to practice fraud, was
pointed out. This one omission n
the regitratlon law will he the
cause Of fourh-fths Of all the illegai
votes that are cast be ng voted.
A DESPERATE MOVE.
The Republican bosses, after the
expose printed last night this morn
ing started a move TO counteratt
the revelations. THIS consists O.
charges OF fraud against the Dem
ocrats. with their own registrar
they claim the Democrats have pad
led the roll. This is a peculiar de-
Tense, as they admit in substance

Cayuse Ducks Siwash

Frank Berger, the Weston Union
man, has a gasoline railroad veloci-
pede that creates almost as much
attention as the Oriental Limited.
1t goes like the wind and makes
almost as much noise as the Limit
ed. The exhaust of the engine
strikes terror to horses, especially
the untamed cayuse.
Frank was down the Kootenai
Valley line few days ago, repair
ing the wire. and on the return
trip he had occasion to pass a ST.
wash on a wild eyed pony. The
pony showed every indication OF
going straight up as the machine
approached. Mr.. Berger shut off
the power, the velocipede having
had boost enough to run by the
Indian and his pony. At the
passing point there was Just room
enough on the lower side of the
grade, between the embankment
and the track for the cayuse tc
stand. Over the grade was dros
of six feet and then about ten feel
of water. Berger allowed the ma.
chine to glide noiselessly along
until within about a rod of the
Indian and cayuse, and then he
turned on a full blast. AS the ma
chine shot by the Indian with its
chuck-ety-chuck, the cayuse made
just one leap into space and land
ed out in the lake in water deep
enough to submerge cayuse, Indi-
an and all. The Indian got his
cayuse out without any difficulty
and continued his way, and Mr..
Berger continued his way-but the
two left the scene in quite different
moods, as might be imagined.

A Bears Meal Slightly Interrupted

Details of an exciting bear hunt
near Naples has reached Boomers
Ferry. 1t seems that William Par
son, rancher, was out one day with
his hired man, Harry Sewers, and
discovered a bear feeding an hill
side near by. They hastily armed
themselves with Winchesters, filled
the magazines, and with the dogs,
started after bruin. The dogs soon
put the bear up the tree, and the
hunters crept up on the seemingly
doomed animal to close range.
Then the firing from the heavy
winchesters commenced. The bear
was not used to so much noise and
concluded to come down and in
vestigate. The situation was be-
coming more interesting every min
ute. The firing continued but the
ammunition run low. The dogs, I'M
able to comprehend the impudence
of the bear, started for home. The
bear came down the tree and sat
up to take survey of the situation
Parson fired the last shot, and as
the bear made q move to make a
closer investigation, he and the
hired man came to an instan-
taneous conclusion that they ought
not to neglect their work for such
trihing business as bear hunting,
and it said that the time they made
