Sheppard claims he is innocent and
that he was convicted on purely cir

he killed is said to have been mn IL

farmer and alleges the crime was
committed in his absence from home.
The pardon attorney recommended
that no executive clemency be grant

WATSON HIRES WRITER
TO WRITE FAKES
Gives Huntington Newspa-
per Man $500 a Week to
Play on Imagination.
TO DECEIVE PUBLIC
About the Campaign Meetings
of Thompson, Watson's
Candidate.

| HUNTINGTON. w. Va, Oct. u
Boyd farrell is the highest paid
newspaper reporter in West Vir-
ginia at the present time. Mr.. Jar
rell receives the princely sum of
$500 a week. 1t is a fine position
from monetary standpoint, but it
lasts for only four weeks. When
Mr.. FARRELL thinks OF that, he feels a
flash of sadness. Quickly he recov-
ers. however, by lingering the S2,-
900 roll in his pocket.
No rich relative of Mr.. FARRELL has
died. His good fortune came when
Senator c. w. Watson disembarked
from train here several days ago,
on his way to Charleston to finance
Senator Chilton's newspaper. the
Gazette, and get it on its feet SO that
it would be able to stand during the
rest of the present strenuous cam
paign.
When Mr.. Watson arrived, Mr..
FARRELL was the leading editorial
writer of the Huntington Herald
Dispatch. Republican newspaper.
But when Mr.. Watson left, Mr.. jar
rell had resigned his position and
had $4,000 tucked away in his in
side pocket and orders to Join the
Watson candidate for governor, w.
R. Thompson, and write glowing and
thrilling accounts of the Thompson
meetings, giving them the human
interest tinge, and all the literary
style and flourishes to be found in
the reportorial trick box. Besides
this big cash bonus, Mr.. farrell is to
have all his travelling expenses paid.
His friends here congratulated him
warmly over his good luck, and one
bright chap among them declared
FARRELL "the Arthur Brisbane OF
West Virginia" Mr.. FARRELL has ed
tied both the leading newspapers
here-Democratic and Republican
and can write politics with his left
hand as easy as with his right.
From now on Democratic newspa.
pers are expected to carry accounts
of Mr.. Thompson's meetings, and he
is 10 be hauled from the shadows
among which he has been lost since
he began campaigning into the lime
light of public print. Mr.. FARRELL is
expected to do this. That the mag
nitude of the JOB was appreciated
by Senator Watson is evidenced by
the fact that he cheerfulIy paie
$500 a week in advance for It for !
period OF four weeks.
The public will not have to wal
long to Judge of the standard o.
this high-priced reporters output
From now on. while he is travelling
with the candidate, the pubrfc may
expect "huge crowds" "tumultuous
applause" "deafening cheers
"blaring brass" frantic gestures t.
lquiet the enthusiasm" Overflow
meetings" "vass 4hrongs greet th'
conquering hero" and a list o
high class descriptive terms such al
would compare very favorably with
an Adam Littlepage biographies
sketch III the Congressional Di
rectory.

DAILY PAPERS FAIL TO
PRINT IMPORTANT NEWS

At the meeting of the united church
conference last Monday evening a
resolution was unanimously adopted
pledging the conference to support the
proposed charter amendment for the
initiative, referendum and recall. The
resolution was adopted amidst much
enthusiasm following a strong, elo-
quent and convincing speech by Frank
Crassweller.
The daily papers mentioned about
the meeting of the conference and of
some of the business transacted there,
but nothing was published relative to
the conferences action on the pro-
posed charter amendment.
The friends of the amendment do
not know whether to blame the daily
papers or the Y. M. C. A. for failure
to inform the public of the action Of
the conference in indorsing the char
ter amendment in connection with the
other business transacted at the meet
ing.

Campaign for Initiative, Ref-

DELIVERS STRONG AND
CONVINCING SPEECH
Tells How Principle Of Direct
Legislation Has Successfully
Worked in Other Places.

The special election to be held in
Duluth next month is to be the most
important ever held in this city, de-
clared DR.. David H. Day before the
local Woman's suffrage circle at the
City hall on Wednesday evening.
DR.. Day spoke on the "Initiative,
Referendum and Recall" It was
without doubt the strongest and most
convincing speech ever delivered in
Duluth or anywhere on the subject.
DR.. Day exposed the methods by
which the Organization in all politi-
cal parties manipulates affairs and by
which the people are made to suffer.
He eloquently pointed out how
under the Initiative, referendum and
recall, the people could prevent CHI
canery from being practiced upon
them. He declared that the adoption
of the charter amendment would re-
store our local government to the
people where it properly belongs.
His speech was in large part as fol-
lows:
On Tuesday. May next, the people
of this city will be given the oppor-
tunity of deciding for themselves
whether or not they wish to have the
initiative, referendum and recall In
corporated as part of the present city
