Plan of Politics In West Virginia

The election in West Virginia
which went against Congressman
Hughes in all except three counties.
was marked, it is said by colossal
frauds in Mingo and Mcdowell coun-
ties. Democratic candidate Wiley
claims election and provided the fore
Swallowed attempt to count him out is
made next Monday when the vote
will be officially canvassed, will carry
his contest to the floor of the national
congress which is Democratic, by
thirty, and which will insure him a
square deal.
Mr.. Wiley does not admit his de-
feat on the face of the returns be-
cause he says he has no authoritative
information from Mingo ana Mellow
ell counties. A tabulated statement
of the returns has been denied him
and nothing but an indefinite claim
that Hughes carried Mcdowell by
,, 700 and Mingo by /, $50 is offered
by the Republicans.
Democrats in Mcdowell county
were denied the right to participate
in the count and it is apparent that
the returns, given out after the other
counties had been heard from, as has
been the custom in Mcdowell county.

wanted them to be, Mr.. Wiley SAYS.
The election, he believes, was won
on the face of the returns reported.
something like a Fayette primary.
MIR. Wiley said:
Aside from this some of the
grossest of election day frauds were
perpetrated in Mingo and Mcdowell
counties in the whole history of these
counties. There is evidence of gross
frauds at many precincts, sufficient.

The FAIR SMOKER"

The smoker" advertised for last
Friday night, was a specially pleas
ant affair, outside OF it's business
feature.
About dozen Of the citizens of
the town met in an informal meeting
IN DIR. X. p. Copenhaver's office, and
spent several hours in discussion of
ways and means to improve and
make more efficient if possible. the
annual meetings of the Fair Associa-
ton. A number of new suggestions
were offered, which, if carried out.
must greatly improve the interest
and attendance of the Fair.
One of the new suggestions was to
secure, if possible, the exhibition of
one of the great race horses of the
country, Dan Patch, for instance.
The presence OF this great racer, or
some other OF his class, would prove
a great drawing card.
Another suggestion was to have
county races, hurdle races, and a
number of novelty races, one was a
SLOW mule race-a premium for the
best Rag Muffin" single turn out.
Another suggestion was made that
private room be prepared for the
comfort and convenience of ladies'
with young children.
Means Of securing an exhibit of
cattle, sheep and hogs at the Fair
an exhibition ring or open shed was
suggested. The necessity of better
and more efficient police regulation.
magissra te's Off &c on the grounds
Tor the trials of offenders, was dis
eussed and suggested.
All these, and other suggestions
were scheduled for presentation to
the Executive Committee.
The occasion was pre-eminentv in
teresting, and, it is believed, will be
very helpful to the county. If these
suggestions are followed the whole
Fair Association proceedings will be
revoiutionized, and changed entirely.

Cannon Declares War on Press

Richmond, Va, NOV. 12.--This
mornings session of the Virginia
Methodist Conference was taken I'D
lrgely with denunciation of newspa-
per men, the Rev. James Cannon and
one or two of his close friends taking
the leading part, and ending by prac-
tically requesting a Times Dispatch
reporter to keep out of the church
where the conference is being held
The Times Dispatch Of this morn
ing made a correction, but DIR. Can
non was not satisfied and the confer
ence followed his lead. Reporters of
the two afternoon papers, the News
Leader and the Journal followed the
Times Dispatch reporter out of the
church Immediately upon the adoption
of the resolution.
The Randolph Macon matter is not
yet adjusted. The conference will,
according to the view of one of its
trustees, do as DR.. Cannon wishes.
81 have done all can," said this
trustee, "but what's the use? They
are going to follow where he leads, /
suppose.
The committee recommends that
the next conference meet at Sails
bury, Maryland.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 12.-De-
handing that the Times Dispatch
print the conference vindication of
the Rev. James Cannon, Jr., princi-
pal of Blackstone Female Institute,
make proper reparation and due apol-
ogy the Methodist conference today
passed a resolution closing the door
of the conference on the representa-
tives of that paper until the ultima
tum had been complied with, The
upshot of this was that the represen-
tative of the paper in question, and
those of the other two "profane"
publications quilted the church.
The conference has spent a consid-
cradle part of two days in "vindicat-
ing" the Rev. DR.. Cannon.
But the visitation of punishment
on the newspaper fraternity was not
by any means unanimous. Several of
the foremost men of the conference
supported and defended the newspa-
per men, but the tactics and hold of
the Rev. James Cannon, his complete
domination of the body and the anti
saloon league prevailed, and he was
endorsed. -
The Evening Journal this afternoon
in an editorial says that it would ac-
cept under oath the statement of any
newspaper man who has had expert
ence with DR.. Cannon in preference
to the word of DR.. Cannon.
The fact that a great religious
gathering has seen fit to devote so
much time to the whims of It's dicta-
tor is the subject of much comment
among church members, many of
whom are firing of Cannon and his
methods.

trials-half way--have been made in
this county which were failures, and
no wonder. The soil was sour, per-

and of course, there was failure. The
conclusion was hastily reached at
once, that alfalfa wont grow here.
These same farmers have perhaps
failed in other crops, but kept trying
and succeeded. So will it be with this
splendid grass in this section. See if
it isn't.

GET WHAT THEY VOTE FOR.

II HE Chester Times remarks that city may
\ change the outward form of the munich
pal government but after all, community gets
Just the sort of government it votes for. Ches-
ter is thinking of changing her form of govern
ment and probably will do so. The underlying
thought of the Chester Times however, is cor
rect. People, az general rule, get what they
vote for and some times change in the form
of government is followed by the defeat of the
very purpose for which the change made
But admitting this there is no reason why the
problem of municipal government should not
be studied, and steps taken towards improve
ment what is thought to be improvement.
The fact, however, that a supposed improve
ment sometimes defeats the object in mind in
making the improvement, is illustrated by the
result of the election in Boston. Boston has
had the reputation of leading in all questions of
civil government II there is any new thought
any new religious cult, any discussion, any
new method of cooking beans, we may look to
Boston, to Massachusetts, TO sec the trial made,
Boston has a new CITY charter, new scheme
of elections, the "partyless' election being the
thing. Up there they had their first election un-
der new scheme the other day and to the dis
may Of the reformers and the men who had
urged the change, Mr.. Fitzgerald, the man that
they wanted to defeat, was elected, by small
majority. There were four candidates. Two of
them drew enough votes from the reform or
anti-Fitzgerald forces TO permit Fitzgerald TO be
elected and doubtless some arc wondering il
Fitzgerald could not have been defeated for
Mayor under the old scheme.
The Fitzgerald administration was held up
during the campaign as an example Of every
thing bad in municipal government, and it was
hoped that he would be defeated
There were no party conventions, no party
nominations, the candidates being nominated by
petition but the result shows that practically the
solid Democratic machine stood behind Fitz
gerald and the Republican and the independent
vote supported the three other candidates. Per-
haps the opponents of Fitzgerald were unfortu-
nate in their selection of a candidate. Mr.. Stor-
row, although public-spirited man, was looked
upon as representative of the "monied classes" "
and Fitzgerald and his friends played upon the
prejudices in order to pile up the vote against
him.
However those who advocated the new char
ter are not knocked out. They said at the time
of the adoption OF the charter that mo munich
pal charter can be self-executing instrument
of righteousness" And that is what the Ches-
ter Times means. In order TO secure good gov
ernment we must have more than the harness.
We have 20 pay attention TO the horse in the
harness.

Free Classical Concerts.

New York World.
Organized labor's appeal for FREQ or
ohestral concerts OF classical music is a
novel proposal. both as regards its source
and in it's relation TO municipal expendi-
ture.
Yet tho city funds have been put to
worse uses. The free band concerts In the
parks have been a good investment. The
popularity Of the Peoples symphony
Concerts at Cooper Union and Carnegie
Hall, for which a small admission fee is
charged, has demonstrated tho existence
OF a cultivated taste for music among
people Of small incomes. The plan which
the Central Federated Union will submit
to the Board OF Estimate is an ambitious
venture in municipal music, comprehend
ing as Il does a series OF high-class con-
certs In various halls
There IS no doubt about tho demand
The interesting thing is the new departure
in municipal administration. Yet from free
lectures and free band concerts to free
symphony concerts is but a logical next
step. A city that devotes millions to speed
ways might consistently spare an appro-
priatlon for the higher requirements Of
public entertainment.
