1t is time that the farmers in this,
the First district, wake up and see
and understand how. when and
where their representative in the
national House of Representatives
is their misrepresentation.
For instance: There is the sheep
and the wool industry. Let the far
mer consider that with US.
Does he know that the eight coun-
ties composing this congressional
district produced 177OO4 sheep last
Year. valued at $674.4S3? II he
does not know that, he ought to, for
he has direct interest in this par
ticular business. We have no fig-
ures on the value OF last years crop
Of wool in these counties, but the
figures here given will give an idea
that the value of the wool cutting
in these counties was very consider
able.
Does the farmer friend know what
the sheep and wool Industry in his
own county amounts to? II he does
not, he ought to, when congressman
are Juggling lightly with a business
in which he is engaged. 1t is no
small business in any one of the
counties in this district. Brooke last
year had Is, 1852 sheep worth $751;
1853; Hancock produced $3.50 val
ued at $25 ,252; Harrison had "a
$40 worth $85,5S6; Lewis num-
bered 36y51O of the value OF $142,-
sG2; Marion was well up the list
with 1891 worth $42,5sS Mar
shall had 47,25O representing $780,
251; Ohio 1886 valued at $780,
56S; and Wetzel produced 1929
worth $e4,623. Thus, you see the
value OF this industry to the far
mers and to the community gener-
ally.

to be told what the price of wool and
sheep was under the Wilson tarin
bill, nor ought he have to be re-

protective tariff bills enacted by the
Republican party-and at no other
time-has he been able to receive
from twenty-five to thirty cents pei
pound for his wool, and the highest
cash prices for his sheep and lambs
Now let us see what would have
happened to the wool business il

which he claims the courts have said

have never said anything of the kind.
There Is no decision against US in
that matter. Nobody OF intelligence

and nobody we'll informed believes
for a second that West Virginia will
ever pay a penny Of this debt she does
not owe under any circumstances,
unless, perhaps. the Chiffon
Maccorlle crowd get their clamps on
the state government. The hrm of
Chiffon, MacCorkle 6 Chiffon have
been interested in the bondholders'
side of this controversy for years.
Their Office in Charleston has been
the scene of many a secret confer
ence on this matter. They are re-
garded by the public as being the
legal representatives of the certtti-
cate holders and prospective bene-
lcfaries If the claim is ever collect

If all the money spent by the Wat

seats in the United States Senate and
to acquire political power generally,
and what they are now spending and
propose to spend, were turned to this
account, properly invested, and the
whole principal with interest ultI-

interesting diversion with the figures
and just as profitable as the line of
figuring that this lightning calculator
Is issuing to public that is wise

THOMPSON RECEIVES
WORST FROST YET
Meeting is Advertised But No
One Comes and He
Pulls Up Stakes.
HATFIELD WELCOMED
And His Great Popularity is
Found Even Greater
Than at Primary.

TERRA ALTA, w. v. Oct. =
Terra Alta was not only the highest
point in West Virginia today, but it
was also the coolest point for the
Democratic candidate for govern
or, w. R. Thompson. He was sched-
uled to speak here this afternoon
and start a whirlwind invasion OF
Preston county, one of the banner
Republican counties of the state.
Upon his arrival here this morn
ing. Mr.. Thompson was informed that
although his meeting had been adj
vertised, little interest had been
aroused among the populace and the
prospects OF drawing out crowd
were SO poor that it was necessary
to call of the meeting.
1t was one of the worst frosts the
Democratic candidate has encoun-
tered on his tour. Mr.. Thompson
left here this afternoon for King
wood the county seat, where he
hopes to get a crowd assembled
tonight.
DR.. Hatfield and his party tins
morning started on the laird week
of their speaking campaign in the
state and entered Preston county
along with Mr.. Thompson, the rival
candidate for governol. Or. Hat
field has lost none OF his popularity
in the county, since his being
given majority of 5000 in the
June primary. Instead the people
have come to a greater realization
OF his worth and his statesman's
like qualifications.
DR.. Hatfield spoke IN the rural
sections of the county this after
noon, addressing an enthusiastic
throng OF his admirers at Reedyille
He and Abe Lilly were gratifed BY
the warmth of the reception &C
corded them, and assurance was
given them that Preston county
would give it's usual big majority

anticipated.
1t was expected that Congressman
"Juncer" Brown would join Mr.
Thompson here today. Brow
passed through but failed to stop of
and it was said that he preferred tc
continue his campaign on the pussy
foot plan.

vNK!EPT PLEDGES

The Republican party lost the
Legislature two years ago be-
cause it failed to keep its pledge
to pass a primary election law,
according to the views OF careful
students of political happenings.
The Democratic party failed to
keep that pledge or any other i'm
portant promise in its platform,
when it got a majority in the leg
islature. It defeated all primary
election legislation, under the
personal direction of Boss Wat
son. 1t defeated a public utilities
bill. Production tax on gas was
beaten. 1t defeated the income
tax amendment TO the Federal
constitution, and in doing so
went back on a cardinal principle
of the Democratic party which
has existed ever since the forma-
ton of that party. It's platform
criticised the mining laws and
their administration, but the party
in the Legislature totally ignored
that subject. Its platform de-
clared that injunctions shall not
issue except for such cause as
would justify in other cases" and
this matter was altogether ig-
nored. The game wardens were
abolished; the road commission
er's Office, a department that was
well started on a great statewide
work, was abolished; an attempt
was made by MacCorkle in the
Senate and Lacy in the House to
abolish the tax commissioners
department., including the county
audit and uniform system OF ac-
counting, and the very life and
blood OF the whole equitable sys-
TEN OF taxation; and not a single,
solitary law OF statewide import
ance was passed. No legislation
OF a general progressive or re
formatory character was pro-
posed, and the whole tendency OF
the regular session, as well as
the special one, was reactionary
under the direction OF the Wat
son-Chilton- MacCorkle crowd.
The sale of two seats in the
United States Senate for cash
was the greatest crime and politi-
cal disgrace ever committed since
West Virginia was born into the
Union of the States.
This is the record of the Demo
cratic legislature. Do the voters
Of West Virginia stand ready to
approve it by their votes? We
sincerely hope not.

where he will soon again have an
opportunity to vote against the best

present predicament as seeker for

this and every other county of the
district?

Wheeling, w. Va.
Sept. 2s, 1912
ITO the editor of the Intelligencer:
"sir: Replying to your inquiry
/ believe that / can say with abso-
lutte certainty that the effect of the
Democratic wool bill, had it become
law, would have been seriously
to cripple, If not entirely to de-
stroy the wool growing industry OF
West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia. Our wool has had, and now
has. a protective duty OF eleven
cents per pound. The proposed bill
reduced the protective duty to about
twenty-nine cents ad yalorem, or ap-
proximately four cents per pound
Experience has shown that lowering
the duty or wipipg 1t out practically
lowers the value Of wool by the en-
tire amount of duty removed. In
other words, the effect OF this wool
bill would have been to lower the
price of our home wool six or seven
cents per pound.
at is unnecessary to say what r1fs
would have meant to the farmers Of
the Panhandle counties OF West vir-
ginia, and to the farmers Of east
ern Ohio. Fortunately, the veto in
the hands of President Taft saved
them from this threatened danger,
and every man interested in the
wool business owes a debt to Mr..
Taft by virtue OF this veto. / am
not politician. | write this sim
ply as a business man interested in
the wool industry, and more or Tess
familiar with the conditions under
which wool is grown in this section.
During the existence of the VIII
son bill, which put wool on the free
list. we bought millions of pounds
OF wool at nine scents to ten cents per
pound for unwashed wool, and
twelve cents to fourteen cents per
pound for choice washed wool. I'm
washed wool this year sold for TWEEN
ty-two cents to twenty-five cents,
washed wool from twenty-eight to
thirty cents. This certainly shows
clearly the result of a protective
duty of eleven cents.
Yours truly,
(signed)

SANTA FE wins POINT
Texas Commercial Organizations Lose
Bill of Lading Fight.

Washington, Dec. Sin the case
brought by Texas commercial organi-
cations against the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe and other carriers, the
interstate commerce commission to-
day held it had no authority to re-
quire the issuance of through export
bills of lading at Galveston, Tex, as
it had no jurisdiction over ocean car
riers, although it would hold the rail
carriers responsible for failure to issue
such bills if the water carriers were
willing to honor them. The commits
sion declared THAT public interest re-
Quires the issuance of these through
bills of lading," and the cotton crop
of Texas can not be handled without
great inconvenience under any other
system.
For several years the city of Gal
weston and Texas shippers have been
contending for equality of shipping
conditions at the port of Galveston
with those at New Orleans and other
ports, particularly on export traffic.
The commission held that at least
six days free time should be allowed
at Galveston upon export traffic; and
that after January l, 1913, the impo-
sition of greater demurrage charges
at Galveston than at New Orleans and
other ports would be regarded as un-
lawful discrimination.
