NTcGraw and the Governorship.


The nomination OF John T. Nc
Graw. Of Grafton, for the governor
ship on the Decorate ticket by the
Grafton Leader is considered not to
be OF any 3erious consequence by the
Charleston Mail. The reason is
that McGTaw would not have it.
Says the MafI:
The Grafton Leader is now en-
gagged in booming Col. John T. Nc
Graw for the Democratic nomination
for governor in 1912. We will bet
our printing press. that Col. Nc
Graw wouldn't accept the nominal
tIon If it were rendered him on a
silver platter. However, the Chill
tons and watsons and MacCorkles
would be tickled to death to have
the Colonel take it, and 1t may be
that-the Leader is playing the game
from the Charleston and Fairmont
end with the hope that the Colonel
will bite early.

Direct vote Of the People


The last several years there has
been a constant and widespread
lnsistence for direct vote of the
people. So great has it been that
the United States Senate has con-
Isidered it seriously.
or course, from a political party
viewpoint, it means in primary cleo
tons that the members of a po'
lltical party shall actually vote fol-
candidates of that political party
for nominations. The term elm
mates the delegate idea. 1t is the
voice of the voters themselves as t.
the candidates. There can be no di
rect vote of the people under the
delegate idea. The people do MOI
vote for the candidate under thai
! idea. They merely vote for dele
gate or. delegates.
In this county. or any other coun
ty, the voters in the Republican
party can not vote direct for candf
dates for public office by voting FOL
delegates to a county convention t.
nominate such candidates. The
only way a direct vote can be cas-
is to vote for the candidates them
selves and not for delegates.
A direct vote does not mean in
struottons. There can be no In
structions under direct vote fol

selves decide. When the votes are

Joseph Bush
At The Bolton Murder Trial
Wednesday
Witness Is Under Indictment
At Newark, 0.
For Murder In First Degree
In Connection
With The LyRchlng OF
Detective Carl EtheringtOn

The first witness called in the Boil.
ton murder case Wednesday morning
was Joe Bush, who stands indicted
for first-degree murder in connection
with the lynching of Detective Ether
ington. He was brought to Mt. Ver-
non by Sheriff Slabaugh and sworn
with other witnesses for the state
who came up from Newark, Wednes-
day.
Assistant Attorney General Miller,
who conducted the examination in
chief, explained to the witness that,
since witness stands indicted, he
would not have to answer questions
that might tend to incriminate him.
Bush, who is rather a nice-appear-
ing fellow, gave brief story of his
life, in answer to questions by the at
torney He received part of his
education at the Xenia Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans home. He has lived
in Newark about six years, employed
there, he said, by Louis j. Bolton as a
taxicab driver.
Bush sad that he is "a years of age
and that he was in Newark last July
8. His running story was that he got
up that morning at 10:30 and shortly
afterwards met Bolton following dry
detectives, that the crowds went to
the Warden hotel and that Bolton or
dered the clerk there not to allow the
dry detectives to register. The crowd
then went towards the court house,
Bush going to the Bolton saloon. This
was about IL a. m. Went to Bottoms
barn. Bolton came after him and told
him to go up to the saloon. Men were
there, drinking. Conversation in the
crowds at the saloon was largely
about dry detectives. Bush heard
about Bill Howard being shot. Got on
the patrol wagon. Got off in front of
Bolton saloon and then went over to
Jail. Said he went to Jail to get the
detective but the detective was land
ed in Jail. Returned to the Bolton sa-
loon, Bolton was in the salon. Wit
ness said that 60 or 70 men were
there and that there was talk about
getting Etherington out and lynching
him. Witness said that Bolton was
mixed up with the crowd part of the
time, was behind the bar part of
the time, and spent some time in front

STABBED
Herself In The Neck with A
Pair Of Scissors
In An Attempt To Commit
Suicide
Mrs. Vim. HOefIiCk Tries To
End Her Lite
Mind Has Been Unbalanced
For Several Days
Game Very Near SGVGring
The Jugular Vein

Mrs. William Hoeflick, residing on
North Sandusl<y street, at the summit
of Spearman's hill, attempted to end
her life while at her home on Tuesday
evening by cutting her throat with a
pair of scissors.
Mrs. Hoeflick's mind has been un-
balanced for a period of several days
and has been under close care
and attention, everything being taken
from the room with which an act OF
violence could be committed except a
pair of scissors, which had been over
looked.
At about 1880 o'clock Tuesday even
ing, those who were attending the af-
ficted woman, left the room for a
space of only few minutes without
a thought of her attempting to injure
or kill herself, but, in very short
time, noises were heard in the room
and an investigation was Immediately
made. Mrs. Hoeflick was found lying
on the bed with the sharp scissors in
her right hand and the points stained
with blood. Blood was also seen to be
streaming from the right side of her
neck where she had stabbed herself
er the jugular vein. The scissors
were quickly taken from the woman
and she was given temporary atten-
tion. DIR. James F. Lee and DR.. w. T..
Dley of Fredericktown were called to
render surgical attention. The ex-
animation of the wounds showed that
the points of the scissors had pene-
trated to considerable distance, far
enough to have severed the jugular
vein had the stabs been made at the
proper location. The wounds were
dressed and no serious results will
follow If blood poisoning does not de-
velop.
When the articles of dangerous ma,
ture were removed from Mrs. Hoe
flick's room previous to the attempted
suicide, the scissors had escaped the
eyes of the family and those attend
ing, but it is thought that the insane
woman was aware of their presence
all of the time but said nothing about
them, no doubt with the expectation
of securing them at some future date
to end her life.
The act was no doubt prompted by
insanity which was brought on by i'll
ness with which Mrs. Hoefiick has
been suffering for the past several
weeks.
She is the mother Of two daughters
and is about So years of age, her hus-
band being employed as night hostler
. at the G. A. & c. shops. Strict watch
is now being kept in order that the at
tempt will not be repeated.
