WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81. --
Quite q number of West Virginians
have been here in the last day or two.
Most of them are quite we'll known iii
politics, but even though some of them
were here at the same time there was
no political conference of any kind.
Former Senator Watson came over to
see about a matter Of legislation In
which he was interested. Major J. q.
Chiffon spent a couple of days with
his brother, Senator Chiffon. Glenn
Shaver, Democratic state chairman,
was here only a few hours. leaving
before most Of the other statesmen
arrived. State Senator Gray Silver.
Of Martinsburg, was here on business.
George w. Johnson, OF Parkersburg,
had been visiting some orchards in
which he is interested in Virginia and
stopped here between trains. A. M.
Belcher. OF Charleston, one OF the at
torneys for the labor people who are

JOINT DEBA 7ES ARE
"A SkIEDs FOR ~ HOLT
With Various Other Congress
sionaI Nominees in This

DR.. NJ. S. Holt. of Weston. Social
list nominee for Congress in this dis
trict, has issued the following:
To the congressional candidates In
the First district of West Virginia.
Gentlemen s.
1t is not enough at this day to say
am Democrat, Republican. Progress
sive or Socialist. The people are
aroused as never before and they de-
mand specific and clean cut state
ments upon the important issues In
volved in this campaign.
It is due the voters that they have
an opportunity to hear the different
candidates with as little loss of time
as possible and in view of this fact
there is no tenable reason why the
nominees of all the parties should not
agree to meet for joint debate upon
the same platform so that the people
may intelligently decide how to cast
their ballots for the relief of the
growing burdens that are being more
strongly fastened upon the masses by
the classes of special privilege.
If qualified and worthy of a nom1-
nation why should any candidate for
congressional honors refuse to follow
the example of the immortal Lincoln.
who believing In the justice of his
cause, met in joint debate his con
gressioaal opponent, Douglas who
was conceded to be one of the great
est orators of his day.
For the reasons set forth and
many others challenge each of my
opponents to joint debate and will
ask that they agree to meet me upon
the same platform in at least one adj
sertised meeting In each county OF
the district.
To insure the widest possible circu-
lation of my proposition for joint
meeting will send to each newspa-
per in the district a copy of this letter
respectfully request its publication.
hope to hear of the acceptance
of this proposition from one or all
the nominees.
The pallid lips of unpaid labor de-
mand a reason, and the withered
hand of poverty should no longer be
outstretched in vain In this bounte-
Gus country.
Undeserved enconiums from the
paid puppets of partisan press. up
on incompetents seeking Office are
rapidly losing weight with readers
who demand substantial remedies In
stead of nauseating nostrums. Evolu-
ton is always preferable to revolu-
ton and a careful thoughtful constd-
Grafton of political economic cues
tons will tend to promote peace,
prosperity and happiness to all man
kind.

CHANNEL TUNNEL

Have Been Useful.
tsY Assee,Arrp rarss:

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The clash of
war among the nations Of Europe has
not modified the views of the support
ers Of the Channel tunnel scheme
whose desire to build a tunnel from
Dover to Calais has been blocked for
years by the military authorities on
the ground that it would destroy Eng
lands insularity. i
Several peers and members of par
lament who have for long shown an
interest in the scheme declare that in
stead of proving of assistance to the
enemy, channel tunnel would have
been of supreme assistance in trans
porting the British army.
They declare they will continue the
advocacy of the tunnel at the end of
the war. The precautions suggested
to prevent the tunnel being made use
of for an invasion of England include
the flooding of dip in the tunnel,
commanding exits with guns that
could not be silenced from the sea,
and an electric button that might
touch off an explosion to destroy a
part of the tunnel II necessary.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. I'll
West Virginia commercial travellers
are included in the protest which has
been made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the application of
the proposed increase in mileage rates
to the travelling statesmen OF the coun-
try. In the formal protest which has
been filed by the Associated CONNER
cial Travellers it is said that about
500, 900 commercial travellers would be
affected by the increase. that these
men are the best patrons of the rail-
roads and that If the proposed increase
were made to include travelling sales
men along with the general public. it
would mean the placing of an addi-
tonal burden of expense In the busi-
ness interests of the country at time
when they are endeavoring to re-
trench. The committee is asked to con-
slider these points carefully. No OBJ
lection is made to advance in rates
for the general public.
