jumped out Of the window, or was
pushed out, falling on head, causing

DEMOCRATIC SENATE
NOW One OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF
NOVEMBER ELECTION,

Its not without the range q
possibilities that a. Democratic Senate
may be returned at the coming elee
tions. There IS a handicap because
Of the number Of Republican seats
that must be won over to accomplish
that, but the wave Of insurgency and
discomfort which Is sweeping the
country may not cease its fow until
numbers ofstates have been captured
from the opposition, just as many dis
tricts have already been captured
from the house.
The terms Of so senators will ex-
pire this year. OF these, sis are
Democrats, practically sure Of re-
election. II is not considered posi-
BILE that there should be a Demo
cratic loss, OF the remaining 94the
Democratic will hayeto secure IS
seemingly much to expect, Yet
Democratic success seems quite q
possible in many other states as i
was in Maine, where the Republicans
have just lost asenator In Indiana
Senator Beyeridge, iusurgent has no
walk away This was once Demo
cratic state. So was Connecticut
before factional disturbances. In that
state there Is very strong opposition
to Senator Bulkeley, who Is looking
for recollection, and there Is the
same fight in The Republican ranks
o,er the goyernorship as there was IN
Maine. There Is astrong probability
that Hitchcock, Democrat, will be
successful in Nebraska. Missouri.
normally Democratic state, has
senator to elect, the presentineambs
ent being Republican. Nevada
a I'd Montana have usually returned
Democrats. In the latter state I'M
surgents and Democrats are working
together to defeat Senator Carter.
The conditions now existing IN
New York, a close state, where the
Republicans are seriously split and
the Democrats harmonious, make y
not unreasonable to expect success
there. That Harmon will be re-
elected governor in Ohio seems cer=
tain, With him would very likely
go the legislature, insuring Demo
cratic senator. In Mississippi there
is a possibility Of Lodges defeat. It
is d strong Republican state, but 50
Maine was thought to be. Arizona
and New Mexico ought help along,
with good fighting chance in New
Jersey, North Dakota and West vir-
ginia. 1t is much to expect, but the
Democracy have waited long and the
people have suffered much.

SUPREME COURT
CALLED ON TO SETTLE THE MIDDLE IN
THIS COUNTY.

With two committees lighting in
Mason county further disturbance
among the Republicans ofthat coun-
" is expected to be aroused next
Monday when the matter of deter
mining the regularity of the two bod
les is made by the Supreme Court Of
Appeals.
A special session of the highest
tribunal of the State has been called
for October 8. for the purpose of act-
ing on this political matter which
has been disturbing the sea Of politics
for the past several weeks in Mason.
1t was expected that an amicable
settlement of the troubles there
could be made to-day, and the Cow
ernor as well as former Governor Daw-
son, intended, it said, to make their
presence felt in the county of trouble
but the regulars who are called
the "wets' did not wait for such
action on the part of the big guns
and brought the matter before the
supreme court. for settlement. Two
petitions are made and an alternative
writ of mandamus was issued in both.
Judge PoFenbarger was the issuing
Judge and on the strength of his find
ing a special term of the court is cal
led, for the order was signed just be-
fore noon by Clerk w. B. Matthews.
All the judges will be ut once noti-
fed of the coming session and are ex.
pected to be here to act in the case.
1t is not known yet whether Judge
Pofenbarger will sit in the session.
or not, he being one Of those inter-
ested in the political controversy
which has so affected the county of
Mason.
One of the petitions entered was
that of Charles w. Juhling, chairman
of the so-called regular committee,
against Charles Buxton, clerk of the
circuit court of Mason county, and
the other was brought by A. L.
Boggess against the same same Off
cial.
The primary question at issue, is
that permitting Buxton, as Circuit
Clerk, to appoint election officials
not satisfactory to the Juhling forces.
1t is evident that the clerk is APP
pointing dry" men as officers of
election instead of those desired by
the regularly seated committee.
The work of the regular commit
tee'' was as determined short time
ago by the State executive commit
tee and it is not considered that the
other committee has any say-so in
the rulings of the party in Mason
county.
1t is asserted by some of the active
men of the party that the action this
morning will be injurious to the
party in Mason county.
The writ was granted on the APP
plication of Attorneys John L.
Whitten and B. H. Blagg, both ol
Point Pleasant.
1t is very likely that the question
of jurisdiction will be raised when
the hearing of the case is had.
Since the state committee has already
recognized the regular committee it
is believed that it is the only body
that has anything to say in the mat
ter Of selecting the election commits
sioners. = Charleston Mail.

or agreement" asked Senator Frazier.
