THE INTERMEDIATE COURT.

The Times seems to be aggrieved
because the editor of the West Vir-
ginian is a candidate for the Sen.
ate and that his platform contains
many matters for which NEARLY
EVERYBODY stands for" Yes near
lily everybody stands for this plat
form. 1t is the Republican platform
with Free School Books added to it
Does the Times oppose free school
books?
The stockholders of the West Vir-
ginian did not make this platform
neither did they try to make it. The
Republican party made it. The Times
alleges that some of them are not in
favor of a part of it. That is their
privilege.
The Times admits that 1t opposed
the intermediate court when there
we're two counties to be handled by
the circuit Judge. It alleges that
the West Virgfnian did not oppose II
then. There was a better excuse for
the Intermediate court when this
circuit was composed of three coun-
ties and even when it was reduced to
two counties. Now since the Circuit;
Judge has only Marion county to
look after there is no earthly excuse
for this useless court except to give
some man "a soft snap. The Times
discloses its object in opposing tho
abolition Of this court now when Il
states that the bench is occupied BY
Democratic judge The shoe i
ON the other foot now. That makes
great deal of difference. Why
pray tell us II you opposed this cour'
when there were two or more coun
ties on the circuit, do you favor Y
when the circuit is reduced to onH
one county? Abolish the court ant
save the salary.

PADDING THE LIST.

In one precinct in tlits city the
Democrats have padded the registra

of these are names of people who do
not live here any more and the re-

fictitious name they propose to I'M

A LIVE ISSUE.

Mr.. G. w. Crabbe. Superintendent
of the Anti Saloon League of West
Virginia, said in speech before the
NJ. Z. conference here a few days ago
that the liquor fight in West Viz
einia was just begun. He stated that
the League would ask the next leg
|islature for amendments to strength
en- the Yost law. Will the Times
please tell it's readers whether or not
its candidates for the Legislature
will support the Anti Saloon League
or the Whiskey Trust If they are
elected? That is fair question and
the people want to know. All the
Republican candidates have stated
their position. Where do tho Demo-
Gratis stand on this question?

platform. Does it favor paying the
sheriff of Marion county $25,265.7i
as last year, five times as much as
the governor of the state receives!
If it is opposed to the county salaries
