There were over $500 coupons vot-

Thirteen more working days and
the greatest and most exciting voting
contest ever held in this part Of West
Virginia win end.
The candidates are SO close, one to
the other, that 1t is impossible to get
a line on the probable winners.
The contest department was very
busy Saturday taking in subscriptions
and issuing special ballots.
Everywhere in the city the enthuI
sissm of candidates and their friends
is increasing, and by the time the clos

have time to do, or think, anything but

The candidates who expects to win
one Of the tours OF Europe, which the
West virginian is offering to four
young women Of this city and county,
must exert every effort possible the re-
naming days OF the contest.
While 1t is generally known among
the contestants and their friends that
each has a reserve vote for the final !

The Set Offer.
The set offer, announced to-day,
which gives certificate good for s.
1000 votes with each SIS turned in on
NEW subscriptions, viii meet with the
greatest approval Of the candidates
and their friends. Everyone is now
hustling to get together as many sets
as possible to take advantage Of this
oFer. The proposition IS perfectly fair
to all, as it gives each candidate an
equal opportunity.
OF course, there is no such value in
this offer as was given with the double
vote offer Of the second period. In &C
cordance with the promise Of the con
test department, that was the biggest
offer to be made in the, entire contest,
and the present proposition is an ad-
ditional stimalant to the interest OF
the contest which Is. certain to reap
its rewards for the many Woodworking
candidates.
The set offer means that when SIS
in new subscriptions (uo payment to
be less than 81 90 has been turned
in, in amounts of s1,Q9 Or more, until
the total reaches $1s, the certificate
for s5,OOV votes vii, be issued.
"A $500 subscription, new, will al
low, under this ruling 22,25O votes.
During the last period, the same sub
scriptioa would have given $4,000
votes.
Get Busy Now.
This great contest continues, and a
genuine contest it is, with real friends
in the race and real honors to win.
AS the time grows shorter and the
count at the finish Of the race is with
in a few days reach, the excitement
and public interest increases. Now is
the last chance to produce the results
that will mean many happy and educa-
tional days of travel through the most

PUBLIC IS NEGLECTED..
La Follette Says r. X. Legislation Is
for Roads or Shippers.

Washington, May 25.-"There is
not one line in the statutes to give
10 the people reasonable railroad
rates declared Senator LaFollette in
the senate today. 'All that has been
accomplished he said, "is to AFFORD
means of giving equal rates to
shippers
Inc interest of the shipper was by
no means the interest of the general
puDllc, he asserted. He declared the
people generally were as much entitI-
ed TO protection as the shippers. Forty
years ago the fight was begun with
that end in view, he said, and it was
as Inucn night against extortion as
mer respect there had been an utter
failure.

tive Importance of the various rail-

that it was so hedged about that it

problem. THE rules of the senate
one from speaking the truth. The
railroads have been having their way
Tor forty years. We have the sins OF
many congresses to atone for before
we permit this bill to pass from our
hands"
While the rate regulation provision
of the presidents original bill was in
the public interest, Mr.. LaFonette said
the provision had been modified by
Senators Aldrich and Elkins wholly
in the interest of the railroads.
Since January l. he said, the rates
on wool from st. Louis and Duluth to
New York had increased II and IS

tended that instead of an increase
there should have been a decrease.

sparkled with rich and rare sentences.
Turning to Mr.. Gilluly, who was near

You want to be posted on the law

little knowledge at best. You win have
to learn nearly everything outside this

habit of reasoning for yourself. You

PHENOMENAL GROWTH.
Has Characterized the Progress OF
Building and Loan Associations.

Charlotte, n. c., May 25.-Amaze-
ment, no doubt, would be expressed
by Sam Pilling, jeremiah Horrocks
and DR.. Henry Taylor, the three Eng
lishmen who, upon adopting America
as their future home, brought with
them from England the idea of and
started the first building and loan So
city in the United States in 1881, if
they could have been present here to-
day at the opening of the eighteenth
annual convention of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
associations. Little did they think,
perhaps, when they organized the first
society in Frankfort, now a part of
Philadelphia, that the idea would grow
into the popularity and power it now
possesses.
At today's convention were dele
gates from all corners of the Union
representing about 5000 associations
with a membership of nearly two mil
lions and total assets of almost $780,
600, 900. The league will discuss mat
tiers for the protection and promotion
of building association interests.
Governor w. w. Kitchin himself
came to Charlotte to welcome the
delegates to the state. Mayor T. w.
Hawkins extended a welcome for the
city and S. Wittkowsky on behalf of
the North Carolina Building and Loan
association. Jay W. Sutton of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich, president of the ma
tiona1 organization, responded to the
address of the governor, and First
Vice President James NJ. Mackay to
the other addresses.
Besides the addresses of welcome
and the responses, President Sutton
made his annual address and the 9TH
err officers submitted reports.
Phenomenal growth and prosperity
of the local building and loan associa-
tons of the United States were shown
in the report of Secretary H. F. Gel
larius of Cincinnati, who said that the
gain in assets of the building and loan
associations in the country in 1909 over
the previous year amount to over $70,-
100000, the largest increase in a sin
gle year in the associations history.

crease for the year of ia associations.
96,394 members and $72,156.966 in
total assets.
In assets, the report showed the
greatest gains to have been made in
Ohio, S14,164,077; Pennsylvania, $12,-
9S9,255; New Jersey, $5,269,927;
Massachusetts, $4,605,731. and Illinois,
$4,413,506.
The report showed further that the
average amount due each, member in
creased from $367.22 to s424.63, a
gain of 1916 per cent.

OBJECT TO BAND STAND
People Don't Want 1t on Central Park
Island.

The people living In the vicinity of Cen
trail Park have complained to City Com
missioner Holman of the action of the
city in ordering the construction of a
band stand on one of the islands in the
south park lake.
Claiming that a band stand on this
island would bring the crowds to the
edge of the lake where considerable ex-
pensive flowers and shrubbery is growing
and that it would ruin the island as far
swans is concerned, these people have ask
ed that the stand be built in some other
place in the park.
Commissioner Holman has taken the
matter under consideration and will see if
it is possible to give the people what they
wish.

to it. Fugate pitched a corking good
game of ball. You know Butch KernS
never throws ball away. Well, yes
terday he threw the ball away three
times. That is the way it goes.
Boys will get in tomorrow and We'll
begin on Holland. Don't you worry
about the team. It's good one and we
are bound to win games. Don't let this
trip worry you bit. I'm not feeling
bit bad because of the hard luck we
had but watch US when we get going"
