Valuable Advice
for First Voters
CONDITIONS CHANGE AND PoLiT
IcAL PARTIES MUST DEAL
WITH A NEW AGE.
MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN PART
les OF SPECIAL CLASSES
AND OF THE PEOPLE.
(By Woodrow WiIson.)

To All Who Vote This Year for the
First Time.
You are about to choose sides. You
parties have done In the past, be-
cause the present happens to be rad
ically unlike the past, particularly in
America. Conditinos have changed,
so fast within the last few years in
the United States that nothing re.
mains the same that 1t was, either in
politics, in industry, or in trade.
Parties must deal with a new age.
1t is for that reason that parties
have of late seemed to be breaking
up and that their programs have be-
come confused. Their old way Of
looking at national questions does
not suit the matters they have to
deal with. The Republican party is
going to pieces because 1t has used
its power in the wrong way, and
those men who acknowledge the fact
have become insurgents" The
Democratic party has seemed, once
and again, to break up into groups
because great varieties Of opinion
were to be found among those who
called themselves Democrats, and no
common responsibility for the present
conduct of the Federal government
has obliged them to draw together
Wherever Democrats have been in.
trusted with power and responsible
ity, as, for example, In individual
States and the lower branch Of Con.
gress, they have shown no uncertain
ty of purpose.
In choosing for the future. there
fore, how are you to be guided? Upon
your choice will largely depend the
future action and character OF parties.
Both parties ask you to follow them
in a constructive program: both
promise to choose with a free hand
the measures which will be best for
the country. Your question, then,
comes to this: Which is freest to
choose rightly, and which is most
likely to choose what the mass OF
the people would choose, who do not
wish to see special interests favored
by the action and policy OF the Gov
eminent? For, after all, the ques-
ton resolves itself into, Who will
serve you and who will serve special
classes OF your fellow citizens?
"First Take Care Of the interests"
The Republican party has been In
practically complete control of the
Federal Government throughout the
greater part of the last fifty years,
and throughout that period. the period
during which America was gaining
her growth and all her national
habits, It has followed one inyaria-
BILE and consistent policy; 1t has fos.
tered every special interest, every
body OF capital that desired to ex-
plot the natural resources or use the
labor OF the country to build up
wealth. It's argument has been /:

How Hatfield
MdskoIllinated
SIX COUNTIES GAVE HIM MORE
THAN ONE THIRD or HIS
TOTAL VOTE.
ELECTION METHODS IN EACH or
THESE COUNTIES HAVE
BEEN NOTORIOUS.
LITTLE IN PRIMARY RESULTS TO
MAKE HIM APPEAR PEO-
PIES CHOICE.

More than two-thirds of the vote at
the primary election which resulted
in the nomination of the Republican
State ticket was cast in six counties,
while the remaining 40 counties cast
less than third of the vote. The
six counties in which the heavy vote
was cast are notorious for the cor
rupt methods employed at elections
and primaries, and in these counties
the largest maiorities were given to
the Republican nominees.
Two things are apparent from the
results first, that the nominees
were not named by the majority of
the Republicans in the State, but by
the comparatively few in the half
dozen counties mentioned; and sec
ondly that their nominations were
made by counties whose political
methods are known to be disreput-
able. It would seem that the candi-
dates have little claim on the voters
in the Republican party and none on
those of the Progressive or Demo-
cratic parties for support, in view
of the circumstances surrounding
their nomination.
The account of the primary, as
given by the Huntington Advertiser
of June 10, last, is ais follows:
The Vote by Counties.
In the Republican primary last
weeks the following total vote was
cast in the counties named:
Mercer ............... 4,014
Mcdowell ........ 1884
Mingo ............. 3,063
Fayette ....... 5,576
KanaWha ........... 8,179
Cabell ........ 4,576
These six counties cost total vote
of 33,992 votes in the Republican
primary. There were less than
sixty thousand votes cast in the en-
tire state, SO that six counties, in
most of which election methods are
notorious, cast more. than one-haIf
the total vote. The remaining forty
nine counties cast but a little more
than one-third of the total vote.
But there are other things that are
interesting in this connection.
The highest vote ever cast in any
of these counties for Republican
candidate for governor was in 1908,
when the vote for the Republican
gubernatorial candidate was as fol

House Chamber too Small.

Superintendent Elliott Woods, OF
the United States Capitol Building,
after an examination of the floor of
the House of Representatives has
found it practically impossible to make
desk room for the AZ new members to
be added to the house by the approach
ing general elections. 1t is probable
some new members will occupy chairs
or stools.
Provision has been made for the
Encouragement of the House cham
Der, but Superintendent Woods will
be unable to make permanent changes
before tine December session. The new
Congress will come into Office March
4 with the prospect of an extra SEES
sion next summer. If no extra session
is held the House chamber will be re-
built before the fall session.
Many now living remember when
the present statuary hall in the Cap
itol afforded ample accommodation
for the members Of the House OF Rep
recentatives 1t was never supposed
by those who saw the southern wing
added to the huge structure that dur
ing their lives it would be found too
contracted for the members OF the
lower house.

The steamer freed itself from the
rocks and filled rapidly with water,
but succeeded in getting to dock at

the last passenger had been taken
off, the Perseus began to sink, and a
short time later plunged head first to

Modernization of China.

The project for great scheme OF
Chinese Railways which holds the
foremost place in DR.. Sun Vat Sens
program for the modernization of Chi
ma, has commanded the support of the
Pek.ng government and may involve
great extenson of the privileges OF
foreigners in the country, with posi-
biliiies of an immense increase in CHI
mas foreign trade.
The government has authorized Dr.
Sun Vat Sen to establish corporation
to AIRY out system of national rail
ways covering territory 10000 miles
in extent.
Mixed Chinese and foreign compa-
mics will be granted concessions
Throughout China proper for periods
of about 40 years, after which time
the lines are to revert to China.
Similar concessions are to be given
to foreigners for the intermediate dis
tricts, but the railroads in the from
tier provinces will be under exclusive
w Chinese control and will be financed
through foreign loans apart from the
other railways.
DR.. Sun Vat Sens proposals, which
however, are thus far without govern
ment sanction, include the opening Of
the whole of China proper to foreign
residence enterprise, foreigners to D'
amcnable to Chinese laws through
special courts.

banks will participate with Lloyd:

PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR.
Suggests That Farmers Select Seed
Corn for Next Two Years.

Whereas, the production of corn in
sufficient quantities meanse plenty of
cattle and hogs, and plenty of cattle
means plenty Of gras sand hay and
considerable increase of improved
lands; and
Whereas, godo crops of corn must
largely depend upon the seed used;
and
Whereas, by experiments publish
ed in circular ninety-fve, issued by
the Seed Laboratory Of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the average termination of Virginia
corn is greater than in any other
State in the Union; and
Whereas, the time is approaching
for the selection of seed for the next
two years, as i tbs always desirable
to have seed for one year ahead:
How, therefore, l, William Hodges
Mann, Governor of Virginia, do
earnestly request the farmers OF the
State to thoroughly inform them
selyes upon this important matter
and while the corn is in the field to
select seed for the next two years,
anu if crops permit, for sale to their
less fortunate neighbors and to Peo-
14Lo~ C+ntoc
| suggest that corn selected 1or
seed be taken from stalks eight
or ten feet high, free from smut or
disease, bearing two or more ears
about four feet from the ground.
The selected stalks should be mark
ed and left in the field until the
corn is dry, then shucked and put
in a dry place protected from rats
and mice.
During the winter, from the corn
marked in the fed, the seed corn
should be carefully selected; the
ideal ear is nearly cylindrical in
shape, tapering only slightly from
butt to tip; the butt should be abrupt
the rows of corn should be straight
and compact, commencing close TO
the shank and extending clear over
the end of the cob to the tip.
These suggestions are made because
