BIRTH or A NEW PARTY.
An Emphatic Departure BY the
Youngest State East of the
Mississippi.

This year will see the birth OF a
new party in West Virginia. Already
many life long adherents TO the prin-
ciples Of Democracy, Republication
and the latest organization. the Bull
Moosers have pledged arrogance to
the new Party For some time now,
in fact for more than three years, to
be exact, work has been quietly going
On leading up to the latest in party
organizations.
AS matter of chronology, it may
be stated that the first meeting was
held in Parkersburg Dec. 3, 1903.
Several Of The leading citizens of
West Virginia were present. One Of
them, formerly a q. S. Senator was
one of the most interested and en-
thusiastic of the first convention, and
his ardor has not diminished one jot
or title since Others who attended
The Parkersburg gathering in 1903,
we're also imbued with the patriotism
such as is rife in the breast of all
West Virginians. "Montani Semper
Liberi,' the States motto, translated
being "Mountaineers are always
free" will not be the slogan of the
new Party. but it is this very free
dom, as applied to thought and action
that eliminated in this latest determi-
nation to bring about a party devoid
Of all "isms," excepting patriotism.
It will be free from corruption; free
from graft and bias; free from all of
the Vaccinations usually charged by
one party against another during the
heated campaigns.
1t was not until November 4. 1911,
at a meeting held in Clarksburg that
permanent officers were elected At
that time a tentative plan of action
was outlined
West Virginia viii see cam
paign this summer, in fact. it is just
getting under way now. that will be
hummer in its way. 1t viii be a clean
campaign in every particular. The
names of the men behind it assure
this. The literature to be sent out
viii contain not one unkind word or
with reference to any individual or
to any other party. 1t will deal only
with its own affairs and shall not at
tempt to win it's membership in any
other manner than by party plat
form appealing to patriotism, civic
pride, loyalty and a feeling of thanks
giving for all Of the blessings that are
ours.
The press of the State will gener-
ously keep its readers posted from
now until June as to the work that
is being done The exact date for the
great rally is June 20, 1913. The
place for holding the gathering of
members is every city, town, village,
in fact every community in West
Virginia.
The name OF the new party that
will draw its support from all other
parties in the State is g WEST VIR.

HOW Mr.. DANIELS
INSPECTION

Cabinet Members
Have Thrills.
DANIELS. secretary

ToSEPHUS DANIELS. secretary
of the navy. had the first look al
a. his ships recently at the south
ern drill grounds, Old Point
Comfort. Va. lie slept on hoard the
flagship Wyoming with a high opinion
of the magnitude of his new job and
a much better idea OF Just what he is
secretary of than he ever thought was
possible.
Not only has Mr.. Daniels been to
sea. but he has been in battle. For
twenty minutes be stood up under the
terrific yellow blast from the Wyo-
ming's twelve twelye-inch guns and
watched the white geysers as the shells
ricocheted around the target nearly
six miles away. He admitted that the
firing. while it closed his ears, opened
his eyes TO the magnitude and eff
cheney of the United States navy. 1t is
suspected that Mr. Daniels is big
navy" man or will be.
Even Postmaster General Bureson,
who was one of the chief opponents OF
a large navy when in congress. Is be-
ginning TO think things over. and the
officers of the fleet are well pleased
with the days work. Mr.. Daniels is
not the kind of secretary of the navy
the men of the service are used to.
The Wyoming carries an imposing bat
terry of twelve twelve-ineh rifles, but
not twice this number fired in a single
salvo could make Mr.. Daniels wear
high hat. He salutes the flag like an
American citizen and shakes hands
like grownup man, but he calls the
starboard side of a ship the right and
refers to the bow as the front. yet no
one thought to criticise him for that.
He seems to belong on board just the
same.

Guns Roar Welcome.

The secretary came over the side of
the Wyoming as she lay in Lynn Haven
Roads at half past s o'clock in the
morning. He wore long cutaway
coat. the same striped trousers he
wore at Democratic headquarters last
down on his forehead He dragged the
cap off as he was handed aboard by
Captain Frederick l.. Chaplin of the
Wyoming and received by Rear Ad-
miral Charles j. Badger, commander
in chief Of the fleet, and his staff. He
put out his hand and said "HelloH
Rear Admiral Badger had a nice little
speech prepared. but he cut 1t down to
Hello, MIR Secretary" and then the
guns roared out their nineteenfold
greeting The ceremonies were over.
Behind Mr. Daniels came Secretaries
McAdoO. Wilson, Houston and Lane.
Postmaster General Burleson, Secre-
tary McAdoo's two young sons and
Robert Martin. his secretary: Rear Ad.
miral ~ C. Twining and Rear Admiral
Bradley c. Fiske. BY this time the
salute was finished and Mr.. Daniels
put his cap back on his head and start
ed in to see just what there is TO the
navy.
When Secretary Daniels left the Dol
phin, on board which he went down
to the capes from Washington, the
women of the party. who included Mrs.
Daniels. Mrs. Burleson, Miss Nina Nc
AdOo Miss Eleanor Wilson. Mrs. w.
B. Wilson and Miss Bones left the
Dolphin on board another cutter and
were taken aboard the Idaho, which

the demands OF woman suffrage as it
never has listened before. Why? Be
cause votes for women is now a question
Of practical national politics. Because
there are now approximately 100000
women qualified TO vote for Presidential
electors And by 1916 there will un-
doubtedly be many more Of them-with
or without the aid OF Congress -Four
ststes-North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and Nevada-hsve decided TO submit
the question to the voters in 1914 The
legislatures of New York. New Jersey
Pennsylvania and Iowa have this year
passed suffrage amendments, which must
be approved by the next legislatures. In
a number OF other states suffrage bil's
passed one house. or failed "a pass in
one or both houses only because two
thirds vote instead of a majoritJ vote was
necessary. In several states II may he
