HON. D. S. SNYDER

Hon. D. S. Snyder, candidate for
State Senate speaks os follows:
The right and privilege of the bal
lot is the most sacred heritage ac-
corded the citizen of this country.
By it we declare our preference for
men and measures that should inure
to our liberty. prosperity and cont
eminent. BY it every man may
stand as an equal, and by it we may
declare our sovereignty and stand as
a peer and equal with our fellow men.
How scared this heritage. Let us
guard it we'll, think independently
and resolve to do for our best in
terests. Remember the person who
approaches you and endeayors by
false argument or Aattering promises
or the use of money to induce you to
barter or sell your privilege as you
now posses it, is unworthy, is not
your equal and is unworthy of your
confidence and should not be trusted.
Politics should be high and honora-
bic calling Politicians have prostitute
ed and netted the party with deceit
and false representations until pat
riotiSm is lost and trampled upon by
men who are ambitious and DESTROYS
OF inSuring this means to accomplish
selfish ends that inures to their
special interests. Let us look well
to the men and decide only after
careful consideration how our ballots
shall be manned.
We have man from Mason Coun-
ty who without seeking on his part,
was nominated for State Senator for
this Senatorial District. Has lived
in this Country for Thirty-nine years,
has been a citizen that has acquitted
himself in way that his life has
been an honorable one; has been and
is now broad minded in his views.
He came to our State and engaged
in the manufacturing business; after
seventeen years hard work, in which
he had accumulated conSi: cradle
money, had the misfortune to loose
it by his factory being destroyed by
fire. Not discouraged, but without
money, through the influence of
friends he installed the first Electric
light plant in Point Pleasant. After
FIVE yeare he sold his interests and
then installed the first telephone
system in his town. After FIVE years
in this business sold same, and as
agent of the Adams Express Com
! pany went into the merchandise
business, the latter he still success
fully maintains. Has been mem
Der of the city Council for a dozen
times, Clerk of the city and was ele-
cted Mayor for three terms. a man
who has succeeded in everything he
has undertaken, loyal to his friends,
lenient towards his enemies, IF he
has any, should he be honored by
your vote and sent to the State SEN
ate, we can assure you he will be
as true there as he has been in his

asked his views replied My slogan,

The DUTY ON COAL.

TIE DUTY ON COAL.
Section 4e4 of house bill No. 1888,
the Payne tariff bill, when it passed
the house of representatives on April
9, 1909, contained the following pro-
vision:
Goal, bitnminons, and coal slack,
or culm, and shale, sixty-seyen
cents per ton oftwenty-eight bushels,
eighty pounds to the bushel; COM
positions used for fuel in which coal
or coal dust is the component ma
terial of chief value, whether in
briquettes or other form, twenty
per centum advalorem; coke, twenty
per centum adyalorem; PROVIDED
THAT ANY OF THE FORE
GOING, WHEN IMPORTED
FROM ANY COUNTRY, DEEPEN
DENcY, PROVINCE OR COLONY
WHICH IMPOSES NO TAX OR
DUTY ON LIKE ARTICLES M
PORTED FROM THE UNITED
STATES SHALL BE IMPORTED
FREE OF Duty"
Mr.. Hughes, and every other re-
publican congressman from West
Virginia, voted for that bill.
For every practical purpose that
provision meant FREE COAL. The
only country that does export any
considerable quantity of coal into the
United States is Canada. CANADA
PLACES NO DUTY ON AMERI-
CAN COAL. Under that bill Can
adam coal could be imported FREE.
The provision was framed for the
very purpose of enabling the man
ufacturers of New England to obtain
Canadian coal without paying a
duty. This was openly admitted at
the time the bill was under consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Hughes will not deny
it. Neither will he deny that FREE
COAL from Canada sent into the
New England states comes into d.
rect competition with West Virginia
coal. West Virginia coal operators
realized it and they sent big del
egation, or which Hon. Z. T. Vinson
was the chief spokesman to Washing
ton, to protest before the SENATE
committee against FREE COAL as
provided in the house bill. The efforts
of Scott and Elkins were apparently
more successful than those of Mr..
Hughes, for in the senate bill, the
Objectionable clause was eliminated,
and duty of sixty cents was placed
upon coal, even that which comes
from Carada. This duty was reduced
to forty-fve cents in conference, and
torty-fve cents is today the duty on
coal.
| If Mr.. Hughes was so earnestly in
favor of duty on coal, as he would
have the public believe, if he worked
so hard, as he would have US believe,
in endeavoring to have the object
ionable clause removed, how could
he, in honesty to himself, or in
furtherins the protection of the
products of his district, VOTE for
a measure which he believed so
detrimen;ai 20 the interests of his
district: lie talked one way and
voted another way. That is all

CONTEST WITH BOSTON CLUB

In the NTH, Boston got one back
on pass to Hooper. bad throw by
Willett and the mum OF a thrown ball
by the Tiger pitcher. In the ninth
Wagner tripled and Carrigan singled
for another count.
Willett worked steady game, kept
the hits we'll scattered and allowed
only one base on balls. Only four nv
balls were caught in the outfield and
the opposition made but six hits, far
enough apart not to infiict much dam
age.
The fray was marked by the alb
sence OF Tyrus Cobb who was said to
be laboring under the burden OF pains
In the stomach. Ty says he's having
an awful lot OF bother with the diges-
tive apparatus. having been detained
till the second inning a few weeks
ago with the same malady. Ever hear
OF Doc Carter?
Delehanty and Moriarty were back
In their accustomer places and played
good ball Del made one bad error but
IL cost nothing in the way OF runs.
The Tigers were out to win and dis
played much OF the hustle that has
made them famous in the past.

Rumors OF scandal fitted through
the grandstand at the State Fair
grounds on Thursday, when Alfonso
the favorire In the 2:l6 trot, was
drawn after the first heat OF the race
The judges announced the withdrawal
OF Alfonso just as the secosrd heat was
about to start, explaining that lame
ness was the cause OF the horse leay'
ing the field. There were many ex
pressions of dissatisfaction over the
absence OF Alfonso and some OF the
habitual followers of the racing game
suggested that lameness was not the
real cause OF the disappearance OF Al
fonso. Their suspicious. however
proved groundless, for the judges az
terward declared that the horse GER
tatnly went lame. and that this dis
ability alone was responsible for AL
fonso's leaving the track.
The gelding, In spite OF being the
choice of the field. finished fourth in
the first heat. His hackers were
game, however. and they put much
money on him TO win the second heat.
When he was drawn the judges allow
ed ten minutes for the making OF a
new book
Dora. little mare whose home Ia
In England, and which made her debut
in America on the Detroit track, won
the first heat OF the 2 :l6 trot quite
handily. giving the betters a big sur
prise. She then went out and took the
second heat without any apparent diff
ficulty.
When the third heat was called II
was whispered around that Dora
would fail TO cop the race The wise
ones said Dovell or Hickey Rawson
would be the winner of the third heat
at least. They were all mistaken
however, for Annette r.. which finish
ed last in the first heat and second TO
last in the second. came under the
wire in the lead when the third heat
was over. Her stock then went up
with great bound. and she proved a
good guess, for she copied the next
two heats and the race
The free-for-all pace proved a walk
away for Giftline, the Detroit horse
beating Darkey Hal and Aileen Wilson
with ease. He led all the way around
In each heat. This race was some
what of tfsappUintmrHt; as IT WIS
expected that the field would be much
larger, including The Eel and other
good ones. Giftline's best time was

many, carried away a bunch OF money
from the pool sellers and bookmakers,
in spite OF the fact that she was an
odds-on favorite. II was generally be
lieved that Nancy could beat her field

this belief no mistake was made. Gen

PITCHERS WHO CONE BACK.

There have been many instances
where ball players. and especially
pitchers, have been sent into the
minor leagues from fast company be-
cause they could not deliver any
longer. only TO come hack and be
stars. Eddie Karger OF the Boston
team, who just now holds the distinc-
ton of being the best pitcher in the
American league. was let out by two
major league clubs and sent to the
minors. But he has come back with a
vengeance, and is the maiustay OF the
Boston team on the rubber.
Karger was a star six years ago at
St. Louis, was traded to Cincinnati,
where he failed TO make good, and
then drifted to st. Paul. where he did
only fairly WELL but he is another
Matthewson for Boston
Boston has another pitcher with a
similar experience, Hall. Hall was
with Cincinnati. but failed. was shifted

liver, and finally got another chance

NMLE7T MAKES
PECULIAR PLAYS

Two OF the most peculiar plays ever
seen on the Detroit grounds occurred
during Thursdays game with Boston.
The pitcher, unaided and alone, grasp
ed slow hits down the first base line
and tagged two feeting runners as
they rushed past.
Pitcher Ray Collins fell victim to
Edgar Willett's hustle In the second
inning. The Tiger finger pursued his
bunt, snatched the ball and by a
mighty leap jabbed the sphere against
Collins back There was no time Tor

The same play occurred again In
the ninth. Iris Speaker being the VIC

slow roller down the line. Willett

ball even ahead of the speedy Boston
