Judge Lynch Is Called.

Back to the old order of things
was the nomination OF Judge Charles
w. Lynch, OF this city, at the Hunt
ington state convention Thursday
night to be a state supreme court
Judge. as Judge Lynch was not a
candidate for such nomination and
did not know that his name had
been presented to the convention
until word came here of his nomina-
tion several hours after it had been
made. The honor is high one and
especially appreciated by Judge
Lynch and his friends coming in the
manner it did.
There is every assurance that
Judge Lynch will prove a very
strong candidate as he is real ju-
dicial timber as remarked by some
of his own townsmen. He ranks
high in the legal fraternity Of the
state and his work as judge is
highly regarded by his fellow judges
and others in the state.
Judge Lynch is prepared for the
duties of state supreme Judge and
his election will mean a just recog-
milton of his eminent fitness.
The Republican party in state con-
yention assembled has called Judge
Lynch. 1t could not have called a
better qualified man and the people
will make NO mistake in eiecting him
to the supreme court of appeals of
the state.

Motor Car Rights.

Reckless driving by few motor
car drivers has engendered tinge
Of prejulice against them all in gen.
eral among persons who go afoot.
1t must be conceded, however, that
the motor car drivers have some
rights that should be respected. AS
a general rule; the drivers Of auto
mobiles do not intentionally convert
their, machines into modern iugger-
nauts that are to speed along
streets and roads manning or kill
ing human and other beings that
may perchance get in the way.
"a case is pending in local mag
istrate's court wherein a lad is ac-
cused of maliciously damaging an
automobile by striking it with a
club as the car was moving along a
street. The case has brought to
light other like instances of boys
throwing sticks and other obstacles
under the wheels of moving motor
cars, Of tying drags to motionless ma
chimes, Of dangerously hanging upon
the rear of moving cars and, worse
still, of playing with the levers,
lights, cranks and other parts OF the
mechanism OF cars that are left
motionless at the curb. drivers
complain that horns are ruined long
before their usefulness is passed by
urchins who delight to make them
honk when the driver is temporarily
absent. Even older persons who
ought to know better and who have
a prejudice against automobiles do
not hesitate to give the chauffeur the
worst of it when they can.
Such treatment is not a square
deal for the motor car driver who
endeavors to be law abiding aad re-
spectful OF the personal and prop
erty rights of others. AS boys ap-
pear to be the worst offenders, It
behooves parents to give them a
little instruction in this regard. All
others should reconcile themselves
to the situation that the automobile
has come to stay and that their
owners have certain personal and
property rights as we'll as pedes-
trians.

guage was also used, and it was re-
yealed that the same old gang that
has essayed to own the Democratic
party the last half century. one
might well say, was up to It's life
long trickery and brazen crushing
of the popular will. Ut seemed to
know that there was danger OF It's
taking a fatal slide, and it went pre-
pared to bulldoze, brow-beat and
ride ruthlessly over the men who
opposed it, trampling down, choking
on and gagging popular expression
even to the extent of resisting a
motion to compliment a talented
townsman, who is making the race
for nomination for a place on the
supreme court bench of the state,
and who is recognized all over the
state even by those of opposite poll
tics as most worthy of the empty
honor OF nomination, not to mention
his fitness in case of election.
,Again, one finds the "internecine"
warfare in the mooted "harmoni-
GUS" Democratic party of Harrison
county SO great that it actually over
loked the imperial" edict of the
county executive committee to "res-
olute' for Woodrow Wilson-two
sets of delegates chosen are to act
in connection with the presidential
matter-and 1t is inferred that the
double cross is to be resorted to
as usual by the dominating forces
the gang that once owned the party
and is still clinging to that owner
ship.
Some of the delegates probably
have a choice for circuit judge, pres
ident and presidential electors, but
they will not know how they are
going to vote until told by the gang
leaders and fiunhes who thus "hon-
ored" them to voice the sentiment
OF the gang. Most of them, however,
doubtless were seen before their
names were put on the slate and
they will be submissive.
At one of the conventions at least,
it was argued that It was too early
to indulge SO openly in machine poll
ittcs, prepared states and the like,
as If it had never been done all
these years by the bunch, and that
argument is conclusive that the same
old deceptive game, let the people
rule, that the gang has played the
last quarter of century is still to
be its main practice.
Hypocritical acclaim will be made
it has been made already-that
the Democracy was harmonious in
its preliminary meetings in this
county this campaign, and that all
is lovely and the goose hangs high,
but facts are facts and when they
are publicly acted the public is
forced to the conclusion that action

Gang Repeats Tricks.

The mooted Democratic harmony
in Harrison county did not turn out
to be real at some of the district
conventions Thursday afternoon as
shown by the accusations, in
examinations and denunciations
engaged in, and the man who
says Harrison county Democracy is
united knows not what he is talk
ing about.
Especially disgraceful were the
two conventions held here. Machine
methods. were employed and de-
nounced as well. In the Clark dis
trict convention the printed" slip
was used successfully after a fierce
battle OF words had been engaged
in and motion made designed to al
leViate the torture the thought Of
states having been made inflicted.
The slip contained the names Of
slate-making choices and 1t went
through all the same. notwIthstand-
ing the storm of protests previously
made. OF course, before 1t went
through it was deemed necessary by
the slate makers and their funkies
to engage most busily in elecHoneer-
ing the members OF the convention
and brow-beating men into submis-
sion. This was done with the de-
sired effect and the machine men or
"slate flxed," went through. Whether
the slate makers felt ashamed Of
the proceedings may never be
known, but there was a goodly
number there, upon whose faces ives
written chagrin and disappointment
over the fact that the gang domi-
mated the convention and had its
way in every particular, although
seemingly trying to salve the other
fellows. The various delegates
probably are not delighted over the
manner of their selection, except
those who placed their own names
on the slate when 1t was being

IA this Issue 81 the Telegram s.
pubilshed report 81 al Inspection
Iof the roads Of Harrison county
made BY James T. Yoshen, 4 high
way engineer from the once Of
public roads Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. This
experts inspection Of the highways
Of this county was made at the In
stance Of the Clarksburg Board Of
Trade through its secretary, H. ".
D. King, and others.
Soon after Mr.. King became sec
Rotary OF the board Of trade here, he
took up the matter with the board
and the federal government, result
ling from which Mr.. voshell recently
devoted three weeks personally to
the main roads Of the county, and
recently submitted his report there
on, which 1t is the pleasure Of the
Telegram to publish for the infor-
nation and benefit of its thousands
OF readers in the county.
The report reviews the road stu
alton in this county at length and
points out several defects. Recon-
mendations are made by the govern
ment expert, which If carried into
effect will develop a good roads sys-
tenn in the county profitable to its
residents generally and bring the
county up to high standard in the
matter OF modern travel ways. The
report should be carefully read and
studied as 1t viii aid voters ma
terially at the end of the forthcom-
ing campaign for good roads in cast
ing their votes intelligently and for
modern progress.
Mr.. yoshell points out that there
should be at least seventy-five miles
of good roads in the county, or
rather that that many miles of the
main highways in the county should
be made good. To accomplish such
result a county bond issue of ST.
100000 is suggested as absolutely
necessary as the tax levying power
is limited to seventeen cents at pres
ent, which rate does not provide
money enough to bring about visible
results in modern road-building.
Method of construction is en-
phasized by the expert. He recon-
mends that the base OF roads be
concrete and top brick.
"A section of the report is devoted
to care of the roads the county now
has. He DIV, lis on proper ditching,
piping, rounding the road beds and
the grading in general. He is of
the opinion that the roads here are
too fiat. The report also suggests
competency on the part of those hav-
ing the roads in charge as impera-
tive, If the best results are to be
brought about and permanent good
roads established.
The road question is one Of vital
interest to the city man and the
country man alike. Ut is important
to every citizen of the county, and
while the experts report is some
what voluminous. every one should
take the time to read it.

FISHERMEN ARE CAUGHT
RED-HANDED BY DANIEL

Ten strapping big men were lazily
watching fishlines at the head Of Belle
isle park. Monday afternoon, when a
big touring car rolled up, and jovial
looking fat man strolled over to thin
and inquired about their luck.
The men announced that they were
biting pretty fair" and exhibited their
strings.
oThe state law demands that no
perch weighing less than five ounces
shall be taken from the rivers or
lakes, but on the strings exhibited to
the pleasant-looking stout party, the
fsh were so small that Is were requir-
ed to weigh up five ounces in the ag-
eregate.
Then the stranger flashed a badge,
ordered the 10 fishermen TO Chamber
into the big automobile, and an
nounced that he was Charles Daniel
deputy state game warden. He took
the whole party and thtir fish to the
Belle Isle police station.
There he discovered that nearly all
Of the fishermen were married men
out OF job. Most OF them were OF
the class that is too strong to worli
