HoGG'S BRIEF i N 3
Fairmont Jurist Declares That
the Argument8by EIogg
Was Conclusive

WHEELING, w. va, April
The Hon. John W Mason. Judge
Of the circuit court Of the Marion
Monongalia district, and former
United States commissioner Of in-
ternal revenue, was In the city yes
terday visiting friends. Judge Mason
is one Of the best known public men
in West Virginia, but during recent
years has not been frequent yls-
itor to Wheeling. His judicial dut-
les is one Of the most Important cii-
cults of the state and his advanced
years have combined to hold him
very close to his work and office. 1t
is generally understood that Judge
Mason viii decline reelection to
the bench, and that With the expire
alton Of his present term lie pros
poses to retire from active work
Speaking to a reporter last night
Judge Mason says
Il mast confess that ! was as
surprised as any could be by the
action of the supreme court in. the
Virginia debt case. read the brief
prepared by the Hon. chas. Edward
Hogg, and to my mind It was com
elusive, and I had no doubt that
the supreme court would finally re-
10 w. j B.
fuse to take jurisdiction Of the case,
! must also say that was surprised,
not to say amazed, by the action Of
the court in assuming the property
as the basis OF computing
West Virginia's share Of the debt
II the court had indicated early in
the case that property valuation was
to be the basis OF computation
settlement the reference OF the case
to Commissioner Littlefield and the
entire lengthy and costly proceed
ings involved in making the account
both by Virginia and West Virginia
would have been avoided. The SUI
preme court of the United States Is
a great body, the greatest tribunal
in the world. We must bow to its
decision but at the same time we
are entitled to express respectful
dissent from the principles UPON
which It may act and its methods
Of procedure. To my mind It is clear
that West Virginia has been done
great Injustice, and l still believe
that we will settle with the old state
or rather with the holders Of the
debt certificates for very
much less sum than the amount
named in the supreme courts opi9-
ion. West Virginia need not be in
any hurry to proceed in this mat
ter. The next step must come from
Virginia, or from the holders Of the
debt certificates, and in my opinion
we will be able to make a satisfac-
tory adjustment with them"

while here ran up against reporter
who Intercepted him as 10 his
views as to a primary election law.
He said; 81 have been on record
in favor OF such law Tor years. IN
my message to the legislature of
1906 recommended such legisla-
ton in the following language:
The time has, come when we
should have a general law regulating
the nomination OF Candidates for
public Office by direct vote. AT the
session of the legislature Of 1903
Senator Hammer offered a bill, which
was drawn with considerable care.
using as a model the Wisconsin law,
which was passed by that legisla-
.ture and approved by the people to
whom it was referred, by large
vote, last fail. This bill is on the
general lines OF such measure as
many think We ought to have on our
statute books for nominating public
officials. All will agree that there
should be law governing primary
selections held in this state, and such
primary elections should be held
for all the parties in the counties on
the same day. There should be 10
primary election permitted by any
party in this state which is not reg
ulated by the statute and controlled
by law.
If my advice had been taken by
the legislature the Republican party
in my opinion, would today have
been in power in the state legisla-
ture.a and would have had It's pre-
yous quota OF congressman and
Tinted states senator's. ] am not a
