on that day Mercersburg saw excite
ment Of kind that mere football
victory cannot touch.
The story that win be told Ia years
to come runs like this. During the
Christmas vacation Of 1908 q student
from West Virginia contracted scarlet
fever while at his home His physh
clan did not properly diagnose the
case and the student returned at the
beginning of the winter term he be
ing In such a condition that he could
communicate the disease.
On Saturday four mild cases Of scar
let fever developed among patients in
the infirmary at the school. An Off.
cial from the state health department
was sent for, and arrived at the acad-
eany on Saturday, establishing quar-
antine at once. The state health laws
do not permit the principal of school
to send home the students in case a
contagious disease breaks out, and the
boys thought they were in for long
quarantine.
Thirty of the students yesterday be-
came panio-stricken, and as there is
no Sunday train out OF Mercersburg,
they started for Greencastle on foot.
Arriving at the Antrim capital, they
we're informed OF later Developments
ana agreed to return to the academy.
Last night mass meeting Of tho
students was held. The state health
representative made short address
and tho students unanimously voted
strictly to observe the rules OF the
quarantine. The infirrnary has been
placed under a strict quarantine, and
the chapel, class rooms. dining room
and bed rooms Of the patients were
given a thorough fumigntion last night
and after the mass meeting things at
the school quieted down.
The students also voted that they
would stay out OF the town OF MERGERS
burg for seven days In order that NO
danger would arise for the residents
OF the town. At the end OF the seven
days. IL no new cases develop, the
quarantine will be lifted.

Primary Bill to be Offered.

Charleston, W. Va. Feb "A
primary election bill will probably
be recommended in the house some
time during the week and among the
measures being seriously considered
by the judiciary committee of that
body is the primary bill of Hon. Tay-
lor E. Vinson, of Huntington. Mr..
Vinson is well acquainted with the
needs of the state in this line and
with the aid and advice of Governor
Dawson and Governor-elect Glasscock
he has prepared bill which will put
the naming of candidates directly in
the hands of the people and which he
believes will put corruption ana graft
in the primaries at a minimum.
Mr.. Vinson has appeared before the
judiciary committee to explain his bill
and went into the various details at
great length.
The bill provides for both the dom
inant parties to hold their primaries
at the same time, at the same places,
under the same election officers and
for the use OF the same ballots, there
behind separt tickets on the one bal
lot. the same as in a general election.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1909-02-06
Amendments Voted Down.

In arguing for the adoption OF his
amendment, Mr.. Nugent held that to
prohibit the manufacture OF the bever
ages would do large property inter
ests great injury, and while prohibit
ting the manufacture OF liquors and
beer in the state would not prevent
that manufactured in other states
from being shipped into West Virgin
la, inasmuch as under the interstate
commerce laws other states could
ship their products into this state. An
amendment, offered by Mr.. Strother
prohibiting even the use OF alcohol
ana brandy, was voted down.
Epling, of Mcdowell. enceavored to
tack on the resolution an amendment
providing endorsement of the treas
ury for those who would be affected
by prohibition. That also was voted
down. An amendment making the law
effective in July, 1912, was voted
down.

Must File Election Expenses.

Provision is made for each candi-
date to file list CT his expenses and
in case any other candidate finds
that the expenses filed by the winning
candidate is improper he can secure
redress through civil procedure. II IL
is proven that the expense account
filed by any candidate was not.proper
that candidate if he has been nomi-
mated loses the nomination as well as
the fee paid to have his name on the
ticket, and the candidate receiving the
next highest number Of votes for that
Office is declared the nominee. This
provision goes even further as II pro-
vides that if error is found IN the ac-
count even after election that person
can be declared not elected and his
opponent get the Office.

Include All Candidates.

All candidates will be named from
United States senators down to con-
stables and the holding OF the primar-
les will be taken out OF the hands of
political committees and be in charge
OF the county courts in the various
counties. The committees, county.
senatorial. congressional and state,
will be elected at the primary election
and their work will have only to do
with the election, not with the
primary.
To get on the ticket the bill re-
quires the candidate to file his name
with the county court and pay fee
Of $40. Or friends of any man may
have his name placed on a ticket by
ten of them appearing and paying the
required fee. The fee as it now
stands in the bill is the same for the
candidates for all Offices. but Mr..
vinson explained that he intended
that this should be changed so that
the candidates for Offices paying good
salaries should be higher that the can
didates for constables, justices of the
peace and other small Offices might
not have to pay so much The money
