Akron, on his official visit to Knox

The grand master in his opening
remarks stated that he had been four
months trying to get to Mt. Vernon,
and had but two weeks of his term

neve', and in explaining his delay
he said he had travelled over 5000
miles the past year in attending to
the affairs of the various lodges
throughout the state and that he had
held grand lodge sessions in Al differ.
ent counties. He then made an ex-
PLANTATION of the various blanks used
by the order and clearly showed
where the average member was de-
ficient in knowledge of matters which
were highly essential to member
should he ever get very far from
home. He then spoke of the many
good principles OF the order and what
II meant to be an Odd Fellow--in
deed rs well as in spirit. He urged
more faithful attendance upon the
regular meetings. For few minutes
he interpretated some Of the laws laid
down by the sovereign grand lodge
and showed wherein many lodges
were not living up to the laws as they
should He urged a more careful pro-
cedure where business was concern
ed. After his talk along these lines
he next gave an impressive exempli-
fication of the ritualistic work in the
initatory degree and brought out the
beauties of this degree in manner
that was pleasing surprise to most
of those present and demonstrated
that there is as much In the delivery
of charge as there is in the commit.

After the address by the grand
master, the regular meeting of the
lodge was closed and smoker was

Might Move to Ohio
Judging From Record as Senator,
Hatfield, if Elected, Might Es.
tablish West Nirginia's Cap
itai at Cincinnati.

The flight of the fifteen Republican
Senators from the state capital to
the city Of Cincinnati last January
and their sojourn in the Ohio city.
when they should have been engaged
in the work of passing state laws
for West Virginia, cost the tax pay
ters Of West Virginia more than
5$17, 900. The total expense of the
legislature was a little more than
$4,000 and the part of it which was
expended during the period when the
Legislature was at stand still was
easily $4,000.
DR.. Hatfield, reactionary candidate
for governor, was one of the fifteen
Senators who spent a portion of the
time of the legislative session in
Cincinnati and assisted in piling up
an expense of $4,000 with no returns
whatever.
The question arises in view of this
fact whether DR.. Hatfield, if he should
be elected governor and should find
himself in a tight place, would move
the Governors office to Cincinnati
and stop all business at the State
Capitol until he got ready to return

WHY A REPUBLICAN
WILL BOLT HATFIELD
To Save a Friend
Taft Bureau Asserts Roosevelt Only
Became . Candidate When Steel
Trust Was Attacked.

President Taft has declared through
the National Taft Bureau which had
i charge of his campaign for renomina-
ton, that Theodore Roosevelt became
a candidate for President only when
the Taft administration had begun a
prosecution of the Steel Trust, The
! National Taft Bureau April 26th last,
gave out statement to the press in
which it asserted that few weeks
prior to that time the Taft administra-
ton Instituted a suit which first
aroused Theodore Roosevelt into such
a frenzy of fury against President
Taft that he announced himself can
didate for third term as President"
The warm friendship existing be-
/ tween Mr.. Roosevelt and the officials
of the Steel Trust and Mr.. Roosevelt
favoritisfn for the trust while he was
in the White House have been mat
tiers of general comment for some
time, but from no other sources than
the Taft Bureau has it been charged
that Mr.. Roosevelt became candi-
date for the Presidency because. a
prosecution had been started against
the Steel Trust.
The men who are candidates for
State and Congressional offices on the
Republican ticket are supporting Mr.
Taft and thereby concurring in this
statement that Mr.. Roosevelt only
4 became candidate for President
4 when his friend the Steel Trust was
in danger. These are the men who

to support them and help them into

Why a New Party :?
What is the Use of Calling Ones Sell
A Progressive and Voting For
Reactionary Candidates?

AyieeS from various sections indi
cate considerable hostility among the
Progressives to the plan of the lead
ers in this State to endorse the Re.
publican State and Congressional
tickets. 1t is openly stated by many
of them that they feel they have a
right to vote for Progressive candi.
dates instead of being compelled to
vote for reactionary candidates on the
ticket of the Republican party, which
+ they have left.
The State leaders of the Progress
|siye party are being blamed for hav-
ing caused the endorsement of the
Republican ticket, and it is said of
them by some that because of person
al ambition they have been will
ing to sell out the new party at its
beginning and turn it over to the re.
dictionary crowd which has c0ntrolI-
ed political affairs in West Virginia
heretofore, simply in order that they
may be in a position to capture votes
for the United States Senatorship, IN
the event of a Republican Legislature,
or to obtain, some other good Offices.
Back of the endorsement of the Re
publican reactlonary ticket in West
Virginia by the Progressive party
there is tTeachery, in the opinion Of
many of the members of the Progress
siVe party who are out and cut Pro-
gressives and see nothing to gain BY
starting a new party and having it's
members vote for reactionary candi-
dates.
