Sincerely yours,
ADAM B. LITTLEPAGE."

z! ADAM b. LiIlLEfAdE.
In response to this S. O. s. many
big city brothers responded and Mr..
Littlepage had the fullest and fair
est opportunity to try out his theory
that candidate for congress can win
votes in exchenge for government
seeds and literature, when he has no
other merits to offer. 1t was good
test of the proposition, and it
wouldn't stand. The voters Just
wouldn't stand for it, at all. And
Mr.. Littlepagc was one Of the few
:'aceidents" of 1910, wha wasn't able
to ride in with the still larger NUM-
Der OF accidents" who rode the
waves all hunkydory in 1912.
In the light of that experience 1t Is
not believed that Adam will repeat
his plan Of campaign. He couldn't
get the seed nor the 'hoss" books
this year, but II lie could 1t is doubt
full II he would make, use OF them to
any; great extent. On; experience Of
this kind was doubtless enough to
convince him that votes in bulk in
the Third district are not for sale,
and are pretty honest and independ-
cnt votes after all. Also, "ths con-
certed action OF; the Democrats in con-
gress has given great satisfaction to
the Democrats in my district and
states. which may have been true
July 10, 1911, no longer exists and
to depand on that sentiment helping
him, Mr.. Littlepage knows would be
leaning on broken reed. There is
no great satisfaction among the
Democrats of the Third nor Of West
Virginia over 1.-THE concerted action
of the Democrats In (this) congress-.
II is just the reverse. There Is the
greatest dissatisfaction because Of
the Concerted action" Of the pres
ent congress, which dlsgruntled Is by
no means felt by members Of that
party solely Ninety per cent. of all
the voters feel that way about it.
They eisore.;
Therefore the wonder here is what
lines Of campaign Adam .. i1ittlepage!
has laid out for himself. He might
again circulate that undeliveredi
speech OF his, which he so literally
with great applause
OF again distribute his glowing bio-
graphy Of himself inwhich he mod
estly told OF himself that he was "a
patriotic man Of ability, and finej
qualities Of mind and heart THAT
might help some. !

road point ofyiew. The commission
will hold that the situation docs not
justify tile flat 5 per cent increase
on class rate or commodities, but
that there will be sufficient ad-
vance on class rates to bring tic
railroads in tho eastern territory adj
ditional revenue.
1t was expected that u full decision
would be made public Saturday, but
pressure was brought for certain
eleventh rhour notifications, more
favorable to the railroads, and II
was agreed that these would be
considered early in the week.
The report vii probably be releas.

are denied. These include coal,

s: TONS IN HIS FORMER
CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 21 =
II Adam Littlepage. the congression-
al candidate in the Third district, has
written TO the national administra-
ton, the National Democratic Con-
gressional committee, or the indiyid-
tual senator's and representatives OF
his party, an urgent request to send
him garden seed, "hoss" books and
government bulletins to use in his
second campaign against Congress-
man Avis, that fact hasn't been dis
closedsto date. 1f'he hasn't done tliis,
.ihctquestion among the politicians
here is: What kind Of an appeal is
Adam going toimake this time? What
means and methods, has he in mind to
employ in his campaign this year?
Two years ago he held firm to the
belief that his own winning card was
to swap government publications for
votes, and he shattered the district
with bulletins on every conceivable
subject ranging from the extirpatlon
of the San Jose scale to the preven-
ton of hog cholera. But the result
of the balloting showed that it was
all of no avail. A majority OF the
voters in the Third district set
higher price on their suffrage than
Adam, and while approaching the
value of government publications
generally and garden seeds particu-
larly. yet they could not see that the
exchange was either fair or moral,
and<they resented the imputatior
that thciryotes could be so cheaply
Influenced, or influenced at all, by
q package of free see or volume
dealing with the treatment of the
diseases of the horse.
Ii was a sore. disappointment to
Mr.. Littlepage that his system Of vote
getting didn't work out successfully.
He had pinned a very large, deep aud.
abiding faith in its efficacy. In a
now famous letter of July IS, 1911.
while yet enjoying membership, with.
q goodly number of other accidents
that were swept into the House of
Representatives on the tidal wave Of
1910, he justified the faith that was
his how the Third district electorate
could be induced to return him. The
letter was addressed to fellow-mem-
bers Of the faith, and fortunately we
have nresnrved n COW:
