THE FIRST DISTRICT CONTEST.

By the nomination by the Repub-
lican party in convention assembled
Of Hon. ]. G. Hearne yesterday, the
lists for the Congressional race in
this district we're closed. Three can
didates representing three distinct
political parties have been put in the
field. 1t must be apparent to even
The most careless observer that the
contest to be decided on October 14th
will be between the representatives
Of the two great political parties.
Tic third or Progressive party move
mcnt began to decline Immediately
following the election of 1912, ana
its disintegration within the last
two weeks in this district has been
decisive.
In the convention which nominal
ed Mr.. Hearne, and which was repre-
sentative in the largest measure Of
the best Republican sentiment in this
district, sat scores of men who voted
for Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 and
took part in the Progressive move
ment. Without apology and without
explanation, these men were vel.
coined into the Republican fold anu
resumed that place in the regular
Republican organization to which
their standing among their fellow
men and their individual characters
cntitle them. From all over the dis
trict comes news Of similar import.
Few indeed Of the thousands who
voted for Theodore Roosevelt in 1912
did so with the intention of leaving
the Republican party permanently.
With many Of them their votes were
simply votes Of protest or votes COM
plimentary to one whom they have
regarded as a great Republican lead
err. The issue to-day is different
issue. Neither Theodore Roosevelt
nor William H. Taft is a candidate.
The legislation enacted by the Demo-
cratic majority at Washington has
made tho protective tariff versus free
trade or tariff for revenue only, the
great and critical issue before the
American people. On that issue the
First district of West Virginia is es- |
sentially a protective district, and
the thousands of protective tariff Re- !
publicans who failed to vote for Mr. |
Taft in 1912 are now ready and anxi-
GUS to renew their allegiance to the
Republican party and to support
Republican candidate who represents
and stands for the policy of protec-
ton. They have such candidate in
Julian G. Hearne---a man who is
thoroughly acquainted with the in
dustrial and commercial interests OF
this district, and man who through
a long public career has evidenced
devotion to the highest political
ideals and the most liberal and pro.
gressive legislation. Here are some
of the things that Mr., Hearne has
stood for in the legislature Of West
Virginia:
The tax reform laws.
The uniform accounting laws.
The two cent fare law.
Primary election laws.
The income tax amendment to the
federal constitution. Fl
The amendment to the federal con-
rtitution requiring the election Of
United States senators by direct vote.
The:public service commission act.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
For Congress,
JULIAN G. HEARNE,
Of Ohio County.
NO THIRD PARTY.

Senator w. S. Meredith made ono
ofithe biggest hits of the Wheeling
convention in his speech seconding
the nomination of Mr.. Hearne for
congress.
Senator Meredith was himself
urged to make the race for congress
but he had served in the senate with
Mr.. Hearne and was his long time
personal friend, and knew from his
record he would make good con-
gresham and refused the importuni'
ties Of his friends and left q cleal
field to the Wheeling man. He show
ed his loyalty to Mr.. Hearne by his
endorsement at the Wheeling con
yGntion, and his speech was reported
IL part by the Wheeling Intelltgen.
Ger as follows:
Ex-senator W. Scott Meredith, o.
Fafrmont, seconded the nomination
for Marion county. ~ read in tbs
newspapers where there would bt
three tickets in this campaign" h
began, "but after witnessing the en-
;thusiasm manifested here and hear
ing these brilliant speeches, have
decided that there is only one party
and that is the Republican. There Il
no other party SO far as the Marion
county Republicans are concerned
and you can't hire, drive or frighter
them into anything else"
4, An incident which brought cheers
from the entire house occurred wher
senator Meredith asked all persons In
theiMai ion county delegation who be-
ionSed to no clique and who did moi
want tetbe misrepresented by an!

PROUD TO MEET HIM

Joy his work. Unnumbered thousands

square holes. They lose all the in
SEPARATION and impulse and keen am

to a man, simply because they have
never found their true place in the

Outdoor men penned in offices, Of
flee men out in the weather, farmers
trying to keep store, and natural
traders at work in the fields, are
common enough in life.
And what causes so many of these
misfits, you ask? The answer is
easy. Marriage. A young man grabs
the first job that comes his way. In
two or three years he also grabs
some pretty girl and takes her to the
altar. Then all chance for expert
ment has passed. He has a wife to
keep, and before long little ones
come, and then he never knows free
dom from responsibility.
No young man should ever MARI!

BILL VETOED
ON THE ORDER
OF BEAUPRE
Cuba Will Pass Measure Acceptable
to America.

Havana, March 0.-Although not
officially announced, there is no
question that President Gomez Sat-
urday night vetoed the general am
nesty bill Immediately after the re-
ceipt of another peremptory remon-
STRANGE from the American minister,
Arthur M. Beaupre.
The vetoing of the bill is not gen.
orally known in Havana. Only ru-
mors to that effect have been circu-
lated. The indications are that con-
gress will proceed to pass the bill
stripped of all the features which
are considered Objectionable by the
administration at Washington.
1t is also reported that President
Gomez has vetoed the bill giving a
concession to the Cuban Sports COM
pany to revive the Spanish ball
game, Jai Alai, and to establish pub
lie gambling houses in the principal
cities of the island.

FOR LIBERTY OF
HARRY THAW
First Move Made in Another Effort
for Freedom. 81:

New York, March 10.-A step pre-
liminary to another move to obtain
freedom for Harry X. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, was taken Sat-
urday, when counsel for Thaw OBJ
tanned from Supreme Justice Nor
schauser, in Poughkeepsie, an order
directing DR.. Leak, superintendent
of the Matteawan hospital, to show
cause why Thaw should not be per-
mitted to consult with counsel in
court The order is returnable next
Saturday.
The withdrawal of the recent writ
of habeas corpus in which Thaw's
attorneys intended to argue for his
release was based on an order Of the
state prison department that Thaw
must not be allowed to see visitors
except in the presence of Matteawan
officials. The order obtained yester-
day means that the departments
ruling is to be tested.

ACCUSED OF CAUSING
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Stuck Bale Hook Into Box, is AL
legged.

Baltimore, Nd, March 10.-Al-
though William J. Bombardt, assist
ant foreman of the stevedores en-
ployed in loading the dynamite ship
Alum Chine, which blew up in the
lower harbor here Friday. is under
arrest charged with the act that
caused the dynamite disaster, dyna-
mite experts still incline to the the
DRY that spontaneous combustion in
the coal bunkers of the vessel caus-
ed the disaster. "
Bomhardt was arrested early yes
terday morning after police had taxi
ZEN the statement of Morris Price, a
stevedore, who said he saw Bonn
hardt stick bale hook into box of
dynamite and cause its explosion.
Bomhardt denies the use of the
bale hook, but admits that the box
of dynamite exploded while he was
handling it.
Contrasting with these stories are
the statements of others aboard the
Alum Chine that they heard no ex
plosion whatever before they saw
smoke and flames pouring from the
hold of the ship.
The coroner's inquest will be held
totiight.
One more name-that of Andrew
Morrison, stevedore-has been
added to the list of casualties. He
died at a hospital late Saturday
night.
Engineers of the United States
army will take full charge of the
wreckage of the Alum Chine and at
tendant barge. They will remove
the debris from the channel and it's
proximity.
The engineers are inclined to
think that a large proportion Of 500
cases of dynamite are lying unex-
ploded where they fell and vessels
are warned to avoid the scene of the
disaster.
