emergency lighting for residences by
which the turning of a master switch
at the head Of the bed turns on the
lights all over the house. These

their respective switches in the usual

This means, Of course. that once the

1t would be well to read and think
on the article of Will Allen White in
an adjoining column, on the parcels
post proposition. There Is certainly
food for reflection contained there
In. A blow at the home merchant is
blow at the life of the commune
ity. Cripple or kill his business and
the town dies. And when the town
dies or dwindles in population and
the farmers home market is de-
stroyed, where will the farmer reap
the benefits that agitators claim the
parcels post will bring them?

Local Gas and Electric
Light Concern.
OVERCOME IN A ROOM
He Falls in Tar and Rescuers
Do Not iNeach Him
Soon Enough.

Asphyxiation by artificial gas
caused the death Of Earl Henderson,
night superintendent at the artificial
gas plant of the Clarksburg Gas and
Electric Light Company, on Mont
cello avenue, shortly after Sunday
midnight Henderson, was overcome
in room in the basement Of the
plant from which he was rescued but
not in time to save his life. He lived
twenty inmates after he was taken
from the room.
As nearly as can be ascertainad
Henderson detected some gas escap-
ing from a room in the basement Of
the plant, and went down to see
where the gas was coming from, TIE
gas in the closed room was stronger
than he supposed, and before he
could get out Of the room ne was
overcome, falling to the floor which
is covered with about two inches ot
coal tar
A couple Of Henderson's friends
passing by shortly afterwards stopped
in to see him, and not finding him
in his regular place, they make an in
vestgation and heard groans coming
from the room in the basement, The
men at once started TO rescue their
friend but found the gas in the room
to be too strong for them TO 80 IN
without being protected BY wetting
their handkerchiefs and placing them
over their mouths and nostrils, they
were able to stay in the room for a
few minutes at a time but on account
Of the darkness OF the room they were
unable TO locate him readily. After

Virgil u Highland, chairman Of

has made the following statement:
My attention has been called TO
the form of the call for the Hunt

that a mistake was made therein
The call seems to create the impress
sion that it is intended to have ali
the delegates TO the national Re,
publican convention selected al
the Huntington state convention
There is no such intention. On the
contrary, tits intended that in each
congressional district a convention
or primary shall be held in
which two delegates to the
national convention shall be Sc,
lected and also one presidential
elector. This will make ten in all
At the Huntington state convention
six delegates at large will be chosen
Ordinarily in our state conventions
we have chosen four delegates al
large and on account of the fact that
we have been allotted a congressman
at large, the Huntington conven.
ton will select six delegates al
large. "A new call for the Hunting
ton convention has been made, and
congressional committees have been
notified of their duty to select
delegates to the national convention
at properly organized COMPRESSION.
al convention or primary.
"On account of the fact that the
state committee at its meeting ia
Parkersburg called the Huntington
convention before the Republican
National committee had acted, he
details of fixing the date and issuing
the call for the Huntington conyen-
tion were left in the hands OF a spe-
cial committee. 1t was believed
there would be no congressional
conventions this year to nomi-
nate candidates for Congress, and
the subcommittee assumed in the
absence OF these conventions, the
delegates to the Huntington conven-
ton would get together by districts
and make their selections. This
procedure, however, is distinctly
forbidden by the rules of the Ma
tional Republican Committee"
AT the Huntington convention
two candidates viii ne nominated
for judges of the suprme court of ap-
peals and three presidential electors
will be nominated and six alternate
Misunderstanding to the national
