be supplemented steadily from now

building being pushed rapidly, the
forest protective agencies Of the

the Ore season of 1918 with more
thorough preparation early lin June
than in any previous year, according
to reports received today simultane-
ously from all such agencies by the

wet spring, without ares In standing

this week bills providing appropria-

Washington, D. c., June 16.
Representative Lindbergh Of Min
nesota, is said to have been the
original money trust-buster in the
days when he was Republican in
the House. Now as a Progressive
he is fighting for open committee
hearings on currency legislation,
but the headway is not startlingly
great. Lindbergh has been under
the steam roller so often that an
other smashing out will not phase
him; and he will continue to en-
Tighten Congress and the country
regarding the viciousness of Wall
street, which can always be. at
tackled with certainty that the
people "back home" will applaud.
When the President hurled the
charge that an ''insidious lobby"
was attempting to control legisla-
ton in the Capitol, he made a
chit" with the country, and the
echoes of hallelujah have been
drifting back to the halls where
great senators tread, investigate
everything from the coal strike,
money trust, suffrage parade,
lobby, and farm credits, down to
the cost of senatorial hair cuts, and
the price of hash in the Capitol
restaurant. The lobby investiga-
ton has been bowling merrily on,
! attracting wide attention, though
/, it is doubtful if single fact mol
we'll known to everyone in the
Capital, has been brought out.
Since the time Of George Wash
ington men have camped about the
seat of government for the purpose
of watching their interests "al
court" But the corrupt lobbyist
with bales of green and volumes o
check books is extinct. Now large
business interests seek to create
public opinion and to argue mat
ters with members of Congress
Senator Lea of Tennessee, define:
a lobbyist as follows: "a lobbyis
is generally man who is opposed
to your view of legislation; wher
he agrees.with your interests he il
called an expert" So naturally
the men who are "hghting 70
their existence" as they declare
as their position in opposing SOM

ocratic viewpoint and the Lea def
milton. Washington recognize
the complications and intricacie
of these problems, but they ar
exactly the same, except in tn

Petitions have been died with the

Col. Braxton D. Gibson For State Senator

beginning to simmer and future
party nominations are being dis
cussed.
Under the rotation h cory
Jefferson County is entitled te
name the next Democratic candi.
date for State Senator. She has
even better claim in the
fact that with Hampshire, she
furnishes the majority without
which no Democrat can be elected.
Hampshire has Senator now,
so of course under the constitu-
ton cannot have another. Col.
Gibson S father, tile late Col. JOHN
i. Gibson, was a native Of Hamp-
shire County. Berkeley has had
a Senator for two consecutive
terms and under the last Republi-
can gerrymander has two MEM
bers of the House of Delegates to
Jefferson's one. Morgan with
half the population and a fourth
of the Democratic vote of Jeffer-
son, has the same representation
in the lower House and recently
held the Senatorship.
Under these circumstances it
would seem that Jefferson has
only to present her candidate to
have him unanimously endorsed
by the Democracy of the Fif-
teenth Senatorial District.
In the person Of Braxton
Davenport Gibson, the banner
Democratic county OF West Vir-
ginia would be splendidly-repre-
scented in its State Senate.
In him the advantages of logi-
cal and good politics and avail
ability, with peculiar fitness for
the office, would seem to meet.
Modest to a fault and never
self seeker---yet no man in the
State is more widely or favorably
known.
AS Past Grand Master of Ma
sons and through membership in
other fraternal associations, as
Commander of the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans for West Vir-
ginia, as lawyer, a bank presi-
dent and a successful business
man he has made good in every
of life.
Furthermore, by his service in
the Legislature when he repre-
scented Jefferson County in the
House of Delegates, and as a
member of the State Asylum
Board, he is particularly we'll
by experience and know
ledge of legislative procedure and
of State economic conditions to
represent the Eastern Panhandle
and South Branch Valley.
Port" Gibson---as he is known
by his legion of friends---was al
classmate of President Wilson at
the University of Virginia.
He was his earnest supporter
before and at the Baltimore Con
and believing in the man
and his policies has not had to
change his convictions and affiiia-
tons to meet the favoring politi-
cal breeze.
When elected he will wear no
mans collar, nor serve any inter-
ests but those of the people he
would represent.
In point of eligibility and in
recognition of personal worth
and loyal and ungrudging party
service, no stronger candidate
can be offered next spring for the
Democratic Senatorial nomination
than Braxton d. Gibson.--Free
