Political Liberty Wanted

a strong appeal to the Demo-
cratic party of West Virginia has
been started by Walter w. Stewart,
ofsthe West Union Record, a Dem
ocratic newspaper for the overthrow
of the present corrupt Democratic
leadership and declaration of vo-
litical freedom. Stewart hands out
some very plain talk but all who
are familiar with the history of the
democratic party in this state the
last several years knows he speaks
gospel truth. Here is what he
says and doubtless it Will cause
many Democrats to weigh the sub
ject we'll but whether there will be
enough of them with the courage
of their convictions to throw off the
yoke of bossism remains to be
seen:
We long to witness state Dem,
ocratic convention in West Virginia
that shall be entirely free from the
influence and domination of the
old Chiffon and MacCorkle gang.
Inded we should like to see con-
vention at which those men would
not be present. And the Democ-
racy of the state will never be puri-
fed and brought into harmony with
the progressive political thought of
country until that crowd OF poll
ticIans die or are driven from the
councils Of the party.
For somethig like a quarter Of a
century the Chiffon and MacCorkle
gang has been the most powerful
factor in directing the policies and
manipulating the conventions of the
Democratic party in this state. At
all the state conventions in all those
years practically the same men have
been masters of the proceedings.
The time of the conventions has
been monopolized in haranguing, ca
Wiling and wind-jamming by those
same men,
Men who attended the state con-
ventions of four years ago and those
of eight and twelve years ago and
even some of an earlier date, found
dominating to great extent the
declarations of those conventions
Bill tMacCorkle, Joe Chiffon, Bill
Chiffon, Bob Carr, Charley osenton
and Owen Mckinley, aided by a few
unscupulous little pettifoggers and
selfseekers gathered up here and
there over the state.
oAt the convention held just few
weeks ago In Parkersburg practical
ly the same men were in control
the some men as had controlled
every state convention for a period
of upward of twenty years prior to
that time.
+ How long will the rank and file
of the Democratic party in this state
submit to the old leadership? Hoy
long will they suffer the Chiffon
MaeCorkle crowd to guide the desti-
MES of the party and to use the
party organization for personal ag-
grandizement?
Why not overthrow this corrupt
leadership at the Huntington con-
veution on the 18th of next July?
Why not make declaration OF po-

Corpus Christi Celebration at
St. MarN'S

Corpus Christi Day was celebrated
at st. Marys last Sunday. First mass
at half past seven, in which many re-
ceived holy communion. High mass at
ten o'clock. Then followed the main
feature of the celebration, procession
around the outside of the church with
the blessed sacrament. First came the
cross bearer followed by the child
Jesus society, about fifty little boys
with flowers and seventy eight little
girls in white with flowers, then the
acolytes and thurifers and Rev. Father
N. Weyer with the blessed sacrament; !;
after which came the st. Mary's choir,
the Catholic Knights, the St. Joseph
society, the young ladies and the mar
ried ladies sodalities. About four
hundred or more took part in this pro
beautiful one ever held at st. Mary's.
The last Corpus Christi procession
outside of the church was held twelve
years ago, and many that We're there
at the time have passed away. 1t
was very impressive sight in this
procession to see some of the venerable
white haired, aged, walking firm and
proudly in honor of their God, and the
lovely little children in their devotion
made a very impressive scene. A fine
Altar had been erected on the grounds
and benediction was given there; after
which the procession marched to the
church again, where solemn Benedc
tionand TIE Deum closed this memora-
