HUGHES CLAIMS.

And now Congressman Hughes,
through the Bluefield Telegraph, is
claiming credit for all the improve
ments that have been made at Mar.
shall College. What next?-Hunt-
ington Advertiser.
To particularize in the matter of
what Hughes claims wolves a world
OF tediousness. Just cut it short and
say he is claiming everything in
sight that looks good. Hughes and
the Telegraph are the champion
Chalmers of record.
There are few things, however,
for which they should be credited
that they are not claiming. They
are not claiming that the Mercer
county Republican primary ticket was
noinInated by negro votes purchased
by Senator SCOTS Doodle. When this
matter is preached, it is branded rs
political claptrap, lies and all manner
of falsehood. Yet this is the accu-
saticn OF the insurgent element of the
party, and it looks as though they
the circumstance straight.
Neither has Nj Hughes. a Cana
dian by birth, been heard to make
any claims as to having voted and
held eaice for ten years before he
became natural.2cd citizen-nor
haNng voted for free coal, nor The
Rayne upward revision tariff bin in
direct opposition to his Dartys plat.

ed any Of these meetings. A political
speech never amounts to anything

cerned, no matter who delivers II and
an enthusiastic meeting so far as It
practically affects an election is a
worse fizzle than freezeout. Modern
political battles are won by conditions
and organizations. Speaking does nor

MACHINE POLITICS.

Machine politics is going in every
state in the Union-already gone i'm
many states. The men who love
their homes and clean government
have walked up. They find the
bosses and self-seekers for political
preferment have gotten the peoples
affairs in fearful shape have spent
the peoples money in Joy riding and
riotous living, and to pay the bills
have raised the taxes on the people
until the people everywhere are now
aroused from their slumber. Mach
inc politics must go in Mercer county.
Must go in West Virginia, and all
good people will help make it go. We
have no ak to grind, but want clean
government.

MILLIONAIRE FAIRFIELDER'S
 CLOSE CALL Frederick Sturges, Standard Oil Director, Just Escapes
 Runaway.
HORSE LEAPS FROM TRACES
Dashes Twice Around Dr. DOnaldsOnss Home, Where
 Sturges Had Been Calling.

Frederick Sturges,> of New York and Fairfield, director of the Standard Oil Co., brother-in-1aw and business as- sociate of J. Pierpont Morgan, and one of the greatest railroad magnates in the country. delayed his departure from the home of pr. w. H. Donald son, of Fairfield just long enough, this morning, to escape figuring in a sen sationa1 runaway.
 MT. Sturges paid a social call at the home of the Fairfield physician and on preparing to depart before 10 o'clock, he summoned a coupe from the stables of Former Deputy Sheriff Wallace M. Bu1k1ey. He and the p1ly- sician walked leisurely from the house, and just before MT. Sturges reached the coupe, the horse, taking fright leaped up an embankment, snapped the traces and breaking away from the coupe, plunged over a hedge into the Donaldson yard.
 While the physician and his guest hurried to the driver, who. was left seated on the box, to find whether he had been injured, the horse made two complete circuits of the Dr. Donald sons home, tearing up shrubbery and ripping the harness to pieces.
 MT. Sturges' return to his home was delayed until another. carriage was se- cured, and then the trip was made without further naisha D.

Two Inaniacs, one atop a big pile of lumber in the yards of the Frank Miller Lumber Co.,, the other trying to end his life In his home at 94 Church street, were captured by the police this morning. While speeding to East Bridgeport to capture the man possessed of suicidal mania, the auto patrol wagon, which has not been equipped with anti-slidding de- Fairfield avenue and Middle street until it bumped a trolley car. No damage was done either to the ma chine or the three policemen in it.
 The maniac in the lumber yard is said to be an emp1oye there. Of medium height but athletic physique, he mounted the lofty lumber pile, and sseizfng a piece of heavy pine board, he waved 1t wildly about his head and shouted at the top of his voice in an uninteuigible jargon.s Whether suffering from alcoholism or bereft of his senses from some other cause, he continued to act so wildly that soon a. big crowd of employees and passersby congregated about the pile.
 Several times workmen approach ed the pile of lumber but when he espfed them, he Inenaced them so length from the office of the com pany a call was sent in for police as- sistance. Patrolmen Meyer and Mu- sante went along with Policeman Wheeler, the chauffeur, and on their arrival they had to force their way through g rapidly growing mob.
 Musante attracted the attention of the maniac while Meyer and Wheeler climbed up the lumber pile, and talk ing the man by surprise, disarmed him before he had an opportunity to do damage with the plank. He was readily subdued, forced down from his lofty perch and hurried to police Headquarters. He was unable to tell much, apparently articulating with difficulty.
 The first one had just been deliv-' cred at police headquarters when the call for police was received from. Church street. Martin Hudac, aged 25, unmarried, living with his sister at 04 Church street, was found by her dangling from suspender strap turned into Q moose and fastened from g rafter between the second floor and the attic.
 She had rushed out screaming for help, and a passing iceman helped cut down the would-be suicide. He gave the icenan a battle for a few mo- ments. until several in the crowd that gathered in response to the sisters
