THE TITANIC IN LEGISLATION

Az the country had a right to tx.
pect, the Senate was. crowded when
ifs committees report on the Titanic
disaster was read, when speeches were
made upon that calamity. and when
legislation was proposed which would
be calculated to avert. such catastro-
phes in the future. AS the committees
investigation into the affair was long.
and apparently thorough. its findings
and the conclusions, OF It's chairman
will receive wide consideration. They
will attract attention abroad as well
rs at home, for the legislation which
is suggested will affect nil passenger
vessels which touch at our ports.
Apparently the negligence and
shiftlessness OF the officers OF the tt.
tanic were criminal In their enormfty,
There was an amazing incapability
or carelessness on the part OF the
builders and owners Of the vessel. The
alleged water.tight compartments OF
the vessel were not wIter-tight. There
was surprising lack OF lifeboats efor
the accommodation of passengers and
crew. while those which existed were
not utilized to anything like their full
capacity. Several hundred additional
lives could have been saved had the
lifeboats received anything like their
quota OF passengers and crew. There
had been no lifeboat drill among the
sailors. and consequently there was a
lack OF knowledge OF the manner In
which they could be utilized. Ample
warning had been given OF the near
approach to icebergs, but the speed
OF the VESSEL. which was at perllou3.
ly high rate even for an unobstructed
sea, was not diminished when the
danger signals were given. The only
credItable episode in the whole affair,
outside of the conduct OF many ell
:he passengers on the doomed vessel,
was the herolsm and intelligence of
the officers of the rescuIng vessel, the
Carpathia.
The remedial measures which are
proposed will get the sanction OF the
country. While the Titanic was n
British vessel, most of It's passengers
were Americans, or were coming TO
America for what they intended TO be
permanent residence. As n large pro
portion OF the passengers on all the
vessels touching at or departing from
New York. Boston and The other At
lantlc ports are citizens OF the United
States. our interest In their safely Is
necessarily great. Our duty lntcom-
polling such craft 10 observe rsason-
able precautions is manifest. 1t wifi
| not be challenged by England or any
other country. Legislation which will
meet this demand is imperative, and
Il should be enacted In this session.
before the need OF 1t Is forgotten.
Happily on this legislation neither
party nor sectional lines can be drawn.
The United States can here set an ex.
ample which will compel similar ac.
ton by all the rest OF the maritime
countries.

In politics Mr.. LazZelle has always

Continuing. Ny. Stewart said: Here
and there you find voter who has the
impression that Mr., LazZelle Is not a
progressiven as distinguished from a
reactioaary In politics. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. He is a
thorough progressive and believes
firmly In the widespread movement
for laws adopted 10 modern social
needs. In his civic and professional
life he has always stood for the plain
people when their rights were threat.
ened, frequently at the sacrifice OF Ms

will always b found fighting for these
rights"

Swisher! Charles Wesley Swisher.l
A Marion county product OF whom oil

portunity to vote for him for the high
est Office In Our. State. Born on @ farm
in Winfield district. this county, May
20, 1857, he began his political career
as member OF the City Council Of
Fairmont serving two terms. He was
elected to the House OF Delegates In
1899. and 1901 was elected a member
OF the State Senate. In 1904 he was
elected Secretary OF State. That he
filled all OF these important ofilees
with credit TO himself and eoastlta.
ents Is testified by his receiving the
Republican nomination for Governor
In 1908. All remember. that campaign,
and when 1t vas thought advisable
that Mr.. Swisher should retire as a.
candidate for the best interests Of the
party. lie gracefully Withdrew and
gave his best efforts to help elect a
compromise candidate with the result
that o Republican Governor was elect
ed. b
Had Mr.. Swisher stood pat he would
now be West Yirglnia,s chief execu.i

nominate him for that honor. For the
personal sacrifice he made we feel
that he should have had no opposition
for the nomination at this time, and
should nave received the same by &C.

Weare for Charley Swisher:
Flrst-Because he would make an
admirable Governor and administer
the affairs OF State In a manner that
would reflect credit upon the State
and those who elected him.
Second-Because the party owes HIM
the nomination for the sacrifice he
made four years ago.
Thiri-Because he can be elected by
a handsome majority.
Fourth-Because he was born and
reared In This county, and has achieved
both business and political success I'm
der adverse circumstances.
All OF his friends. and they are le-
gion, are aware that 1t has been Char
ley's indomitable courage and perse-
verance that has made him prominent
in politics and business OF his State,
and what success he has achieved isj
due to his own efforts.
Every Republican voter OF Marion
