Ii Be Submitted 10 Voters.

the Election Supervisor a petition con-
tanning the of 1000 voters, ask
ing that the question of local option

ment and open to inspection of the

word ''Yes" or mo" in the square af-
ter the proposition shall this county
become antisaloon territorT."

NO POLITICS ORDl
ATTRACTS INTEREST
West Virginia Appointments Have
Been More or Less Active
Lately.

Charleston. w. Va. August 31.-
Much Is being said in CHS and other
states relative to the hiking of the
next census and as 10 what effect
the mo politics" order OF President
Taft will have upon the Supervisors.
With perhaps a single exception,
which is q very doubtful one, the
FIVE supervisors for West Virginia
are active in politics, Whether or MOI
the order of the President can pre-
vent them from engaging In the game
along with their work of census TAX
ing, Is a question. The general un-
derstanding gained from 4 reading of
the Presidents order Is that the
supervisors must not be connected
with politics in any way. not even be-
ing allowed to serve on party commit
tees. If this construction Is given
thea there will have to be some
designations on the part OF the West
Virginia supervisors
According TO reports reaching the
capital, Harvey w. Harmer, of Clarks-
burg. supervisor for the First con-
gressional district, Is a member OF the
Glarksburg Republican committee
George II. Child, supervisor for the
Second district. Is chairman OF the
Republican committee OF Jefferson
county. Col. G. Il. Rudesill, the super
visor for the Third, is treasurer OF
the Republican committee OF Charles
ton, whi'e w, w. Whytc. of Welch,
who will direct the census taking in
the Fifth, Is a member OF the Repub-
lican state committee. The party
records as kept by local politicians
do not name Robert Norris of Richie.
supervisor for the Fourth district, on
any committee. but he has been an
active political worker.
1t is said that some Of the super.
visors will balk at being deposed from
their committees II the presidents
order should be construed to mean
that they can not so serve and there
Is a rumor that in one district the
supervisor will refuse TO serve rather
than resign from the political commit
lee of which he Is a member.
