Mr. Blackford. and never made a state
ment of that character to any person
He is wrong.
This circular, whose birth is discred-
tied by its parent. says that / was peti
toned by tens of thousands of people
The Senate Jodrnal shows that $50 people
OF the $4,000 voters from this district
petltioned the senate, aud | am confident
as many of them afterwards admitted to
me. that their attention had not been
called to the fact that the legislature. by
majority vote. could have passed law
declaring for State wide prohibition
under section 46. Article 6, of the Con
stitution of West Virginia, which says
as follows:
Laws may be passed. regulating or
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors within the limits of this State"
am not surprised that this circular
charges that the party in Its State con-
vention had declared in favor of sub
hitting the prohibition mater to the
people. because am informed that the
republican party of which M. Hutton is
a member, did so declare; but the Demo
cratic party has always, from the days of
Thomas Jefferson. adhered to the prin-
ciples of local self government.
Don't you know. Mr.. Hutton, that the
Democratic Senators in caucns at its
last session unanimously declared against
the amendment then before the Senate?
The writer of the article. who was
ashamed TO sign his name to it, charges
me with the miserable farce of a road
law now in force IN this State. Every
one who is familiar with legislation of
this State knows that this law was an
measure, agreed to in Re
publican caucus and passed the Senate.
IN which there were seven Democrats and
Republicans.
Why should be attacked for the Berk- |
eiey primaries of two wears ago is be- |
1ond my comprehension. This primary
vas called by the Democratic County
Executive Committee, of which had |
lot the honor of having member. was
lot candidate, and knew nothing about |
until after it was called. But | have \
10 doubt that 1t did not. as it was Dem
cratic Convention. meet with the ap-
'roval of Mr.. Huttop.
Relying upon their sense of justice, /
ADMIT my candidacy to the Democrats
the Fifteenth Senatorial District, fully
onfident OF their ability to select their
wn candidate, and feeling sure that
one will be swayed or influenced by
ldecent and anonymous attacks.
respectfully. your obedient servant.

Our genial friend aud alert Insurance
man Mr. Edward E Cooke calls our at.
tention to the fact that we erred last
week in assuming that the expenses of
the State Fire Marshal and of his Office
were borne by the State. and we hasten
to make the amende honorable, OF
course We would "sooner be right than
be President. The SPIRIT OF IEFFER
SON seldom errs, but in this case we are
not much farther out of the way than the
editor OF leighboring corhty paper,
who on recent occasion introduced a
kinsman of General Robert E. Lee to an
audience and referred to Gen. Lee as
having figured in battle from the First
Manassas to Appomattox. Uncle Bob
Is looked upon both north and south as
the greatest general of the War Between
the States, but as to that little Bull RIM
affair, BeaIegard, Joe Johnston and
Stenewall Jackson would probably dis
pute claim that General Lee figured
there. The aforesaid editor, if we are
not mistaken. was represented by his
honored sire on that historic field. but he
being too young to have been there in per
son. trusted too much to a general idea
instead of referring 30 truthful history
1t we had examiHed the law carefully we
would have found that chapter 50 of the
Acts of 1909 provides that the insurance
companies doing business in the State
shall bear the expenses of this Office. and
that 1.-The State will not be liable in anv
manner" therefor. We stand corrected. |
