And be called a germy stamp
Than be the proudest furriest prince

EXTRA SESSION
Is Not Approved by West Vir-
ginians in the City of
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-senti-
mcnt among West yirglnians in
Washington seems to be almost
unanimous that the extra session of
the legislature which has been called
by Governor Glasscock will not ac-
complish anything along the reform
lines he has laid out.
AS to the primary election bill, it
is said here that the Republican lead
ers are opposed to the attempt to put
the measure through so soon after
the adjournment of the regular ses-
sion which failed to, pass similar
measure, and the Democrats look
upon the session as a useless expen-
dlture of money, which probably will
leave the matter where It is now.
The approval or dlsproval of a
primary election law does not seem
to enter into the opinions of the
status OF the case, most of those who
feel that the session will accomplish
nothing being at the same time in
favor of the enactment of a primary
election bill of some kind.
