Green said to-day. when taken from
solitary confinement long enough to
be questioned. that he planned the at
tack alone and that no one knew
what he intended TO do. He was not
communicative today and gave as his
only excuse that he thought IL should
be done" He said. however. he re-
gretted his act.
Frank quartered al night In a dor
mitoTy with about 100 other prison
ers and occupied bunk about forty
feet from one OF the two doors 10 the
large room. Green's bunk was fourth

dictum that the tariff was eliminated

was he hoped Il would be. Now
comes another vision TO Gold nm

Theodore Roosevelt will be the

With the exception that Theodore

substantially correct. AZ perspicuous

FUNCTIONED PROPERLY.

There In some misconeeption OF the
circumstances connected with the
Recommendation OF the Hon. Virgil L.
Highland by the State Republican
Committee 10 all the vacancy In
West virginia's representation on the
National Committee. In some quar-.
tiers there is wilful Misrepresentation.
where the obvious desire IL to foment
trouble within the Republican ranks.
and not to promote harmony. The
facts In the case are easily under.
standable. and show that the State
Committee was functioning properly
In taking the step II did.
Shortly after Col. Edwards was
elected elected to membership on the
National Committee he left the Re
publican party and Joined with the
Progressives IN their attempt to dis
rupt the old organization. and has
since continued in that opposition.
Very properly the National Com.
mittee at a regular meeting declared
the West Virginia seat vacant. and
II has so remained up TO the present
time. With a campaign coming on
Il was natural that the National Com
mittee should desire all vacancies
Allied. II was at the request OF the
national body that Chairman Sher.
rard OF the State Committee took
measures to present a name for ac-
ceptance. Twenty-four of the thirty.
three members OF the State Com
mittee indicated their choice to be
Mr.. Highland. There was no election.
The committee has merely suggested.
or course there is no question but
what the National Committee will
confirm that suggestion. There has
been no Illegal action. The National
Committee Is the judge OF the qualih.
cation OF its members. and has the
power 10 declare and NIL vacancies.
The Intelligencer cannot under.
stand the attitude of Col. Edwards
in this matter. although It does see
clearly through the motives OF those
who are encouraging him TO dispute
the rights of the State Committee
The National Committee took the
Initiative and the State Committee
complied with the request OF the
higher body. Those who affect TO see
irrogularity in this are not consider
ing tine welfare Of the party but are
influenced by motives but lily con
cealed.
