CONGRESSMAN CONVICTION
HERE'S REMARKABLE EVIDENCE
How West Virginia Republicans Garry Elections Use Negro
RepeateE and Inimidate White Democrats

as the Republicans allowed him a sec
retary.
"What does your secretary do?" was
the next query.
"Oh he checks the money off to my
friends as they come out of the votin'
place. He'sagood secretary, was the
ready response.
The attorney again charged DR.. Hat
field with gross Intimidation Of Demo-
cratic voters, saying the would-be Gov
ernor of West Virginia proved himself
a capable strategist in the irregularities
in Mcdowell County.
Mr.. Wallace spoke of the heavy traf-
fic on the railroad during the few days
prior to the election and introduced evil
dence Of train crews, describing what
he said was designated in the slang Of
the rairoaders as double cargo" that
is, the extra cars used for hauling ne
groes and whiskey into Mingo County to
aid in carrying that county for the Re-
publican ticket.
In closing he called attention to the
fact that many of the 13 surviving sons
of "Devil Anse" are saloonkeepers,
which enables them to exert power
full influence in politics of Southern
West Virginia.
Mr.. Wiley. in brief address to the
committee. declared that virtually
condition of lawlessness exists in the
two counties referred to, and that in
Mingo particularly justice was outraged.
He closed with stinging arraingment
of the courts of the extreme southern
section of the State.

To Improve Waterways

Congressman Covington is actively
engaged in work before the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors. of the House of
Representatives, to secure surveys for
Eastern Shore waters with view to
future appropriations for waterway
improvements in this territory. He has
introduced bill to provide for survey
of the north and south forks of the Tred
Avon river. from Easton Point toward
the town of Easton. The survey con-
templates making the Tired Avon river
navigable to point much nearer the
center of the town of Easton than is the
present head of navigation. Mr.. Cow
ington believes that the commercial i'm
portance of Easton and the volume Of
its trade can be greatly increased IL its
water facilities are made more adequate.
He has also introduced bills to pro-
vide for surveys Of Warwick river. for
merly Secretary creek. in Dorchester
County; Fox creek, with view to dredg-
ing a channel from Wingate's Point to
Wingate. in the same county; Chester,
river, to increase the water facilities of
Millington, in Kent County; South East
river. branch of the Chester river.
to increase the water facilities of Mill
ington. in Kent County; South East
river, a branch of the the Chester river.
to increase the water facilities Of Church
Hill in Queen Anne's County, and POGO
moke river. with view of widening and
deepening the channel.
The policy of the present Congress is to
restrict water improvement legislation
to such projects as are unquestionatly
of commercial value. Mr.. Covington
believes that the Eastern Shore is largely
dependent upon water competition for
equitable freights as to secure large
measure of recognition.
