EXTRA SESSION
Is Not Approved by West virginians
in Washington.

Washington, d. c.. April 21.-Senti-
ment among West Virginians IN
Washington seems to be almost
unanimous that the extra session OF
the legislature which has been called
by Governor Glasscock will not &C
complish anything along the reform
lines he has laid out.
AS to the primary election bill, il
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 a similar
measure, and the democrats look
upon the session as a useless expen-
ditur of money, which probably will
leave the matter where it is now.
The approval or disproval 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.

Stanton, Va, April 21.-C. E. Ash.
burner, who for many year has occu.
pied the unique position OF business
manager" of the city of Staunton, re-
signed his position and went to Wash
ington, ID. c., nervous wreck For
years Mr.. Ashbur1er has occupied a
position such as no other man in the
United States has held, inasmuch as
he had placed in him by the citizens of
this city the sole power to conduct
the city government, according to his
own judgment.
It WAS the duty OF Mr.. Ashbur1er to
hire and discharge all city employees,
except for an occasional persual and
ratification OF his actions by so called
city council. Being a man in a posi-
tlon to grant favors there was never
time in his administration when he
vas not harased by those with an az
to grind. 1t is this latter circumstance
which finally told upon him. The sys-
tenn, which was inaugurated under Mr.,
Ashburner, however, was pushed to a
great success.
