MAGHINISTS
On the Western Maryland
Railroad Are on a
Strike.

ELKINs, Dec. 3.-Regarding the
discharge of two of their fellow mach
inists, NJ. P. Brightbili and Dan Cur
renee, as a blow ahmed at their union,
recently formed, the machinists, help
ers and apprentices in the shops of
the western Maryland railway here
have gone on strike. Brightbill and
Currence were discharged, so the men
claim, for a trivial cause, leaking
steam chest, and the men refuse to
90 back until the two men dismissed
are reinstated 1t is likely that the
trouble will be settled when COM
mittee representing the striking en-
ployes goes to Baltimore for a con-
ference with the management OF the

Cornlvell on 9IcGraw.

For a time It was generally un-
derstood, and. especially by those
on the Inside" that John J. Corn
well was to line up for Col. John T.
aGcGraw for the United States SEN
atorshtp, and that he would soon is
sue a statement to that effect. How
ever. he has not yet issued a state
ment but it is suspected that the
use OF his own name in connection
with the senatorshfp is but one of
the methods he will employ in lining
up for the distinguished Graftonian
and recognized leader of the Dem
ocratic party In this state the last
several years.
In view of the fact that Cornwell
in his Hampshire Review expresses
himself rather strongly on certain
phases of the senatorial race, it is
difacuTt to believe that he can con-
sclentiously aid IeGraw in the con-
test. It will be noted that Cornwell
protests against corporation infiu-
enee or interest in politics and it is
well known fact that Col. McGraw
has been a corporation man all his
life and is one today. He may not
mean to apply his remarks to Col.
McGraw but the application stands
out prominently nevertheless and
neither Cornwen nor McGraw can
get away from that fact.
Read below what Cornwell says
and you yourself will readily be
convinced that Cornwell offers
strong reasons from his own view
point why his friend should not be
chosen United States senator:
tAll that has been said does not
apply to the corporation. 1t has
no place in politics and should not
be allowed to contribute to any
campaign fund anywhere. The rea-
sons for this are obvious and nu-
merous. The railroads are one class
of corporations that could not con-
tribute If they would, because their
expenditures are reported to and
scrutinized by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. No other cor
Dorations should be allowed to do
So Corporations contribute to cam
paigns only when they have some
selfish purpose to serve and only
when they are sure the party they
are contributing to is going to win.
In race track parlance they don't
play the losing horse.
If the large corporations, esr
responsible heads, all had wisdom
and fairness enough to &c satisfied
with seeing men elected-or apPoIPt-
ed TO once who are honest ana, fair
instead of seeking as they not in
frequently do. to install one OF lefT
officers or trusted agents, thsA pre1u-
dice against corporations would be
greatly lessened. BY such selfish
short-sighted policy the people are
naturally aroused 10 resentment and
radical Legislation results and the
good and the bad corporations suf-
fer alike. 1t will. perhaps ever be
so or as long as human selfishness
is as great as 1t now is In the
meantime recent elections show
that where the people can reach
the candidate directly they weigh
the man and Judge him accurately.
Unfortunately. there are some places
where they cannot do this directly
and one OF these is in the election
OF a United States senator
