campaign for the Ohio Valley
General Hopltai Of this city was
opened last evening with a dinner
In the campaign headquarters In
the Hub building on Market street.
The opening was. " possible, more
enthusiastic than that which

Almost on the eve OF the adjourn
ment OF the sixty-third Congress. Con-
zressman NJ. NJ. Neely succeeded In
getting n report of the committee on
his resolution contemplating the for
nal Impeachment OF Judge Aston G.
Dayton. United Statos District Judge
for the Northern District of Vest
Virginia From the date of its intro
duction. which was June %, 1914,
Major Nicely has worked from day TO
day to get the committee to act. but
he didn't succeed until today. In the
lime intervening since last June there
mas been just as much opposition TO
having favorable report made or
none made at all as there has been
effort on the part OF Nicely. and the
representatives of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor TO have action taken
and favorable action by the commit
tee at that.
The proposition has been energetic
ally and conspicuously lobbied. and
while those who are prosecuting the
charges against Judge Dayton are not
a little pleased that the committee
has reported favorably the original

iunity given until the aeNt or sixty
fourth congress to revive IT, Fully
understanding that advantage, and
while disappointed that any action

Judge Dayton are glad that the time
~ so short in which FINAL action can

that there isn't the slightest chance
