peoples upon whom war has brought
disaster without choice or possibility
OF escape on their part. We cannot
think Of our own happiness without
thinking OF their UitifW distress.

Kingwood. She went to her perman-

8 months and Is days. The deceased

The Associated Press dispatches
from Charleston. published In Fridays
newspapers, contained a "feeler" put
out by Governor Hatfield and his ad :
visers to the effect that judicial in
quiries" into certain alleged irregu-
larities, as provided for in sections 10
and 16 OF the Corrupt Practices act,
would delay my Inauguration months
and perhaps years. That is the first
reference they have made to the plot
L referred to in my statement pub
lished, which plot has caused Judge
Robinson TO assert that he would be
seated, eventually.
The statute provides that, In case
OF executive officers and members OF
the legislature. the findings OF the
Judge making the inquiry shall be
filed with the clerk OF the House OF
Delegates for such action as may be
deemed proper" II is revolutionary
to contend that the succeeding para
graph gives, the Circuit Judge power
to declare vacant a state or legislative
office. The House OF Delegates, IL il
thought the facts in the judicial re-
port warranted IL, would institute a
contest and the Legislature. on Joint
ballot, in case OF a contest over the
governorship, would decide.
The conspiracy TO which l referred
Is to start these judicial inquiries"
under the sections referred to and pro-
long them more than two years. be-
cause the incoming House of Dele
gates Is Democratic and Governor
Hatfield would hope to control the
succeeding one, keep me out OF the
governorship and himself in office two
years more, until Republican House
OF Delegates could be elected and have
the legislature, on joint ballot, decide
the contest in favor OF Judge Robin
son. 1t would be "fifty-fifty" prop
osition, two years more Of Hatfield and
two years OF Judge Robinson. A fine
scheme. hope the people OF the
state, irrespective OF party, under
stand it,
or course the statute nowhere hints
at any delay of the Inauguration of
the governor or other state officer, be-
cause OF any such judicial inquiry,
and no such delay is intended in the
statute, but Governor Hatfield, being
intrenched in the state house, evident
ly contemplates holding the fort" by
fair means or foul.
1t may be that the people OF West
Virginia will submit to the special
session and all the things 1t will prob
ably do. Many good Republicans will
acquiesce quietly because they do not
understand the real purposes behind
it, but If the governor undertakes to
perpetuate himself in office for two
years, until he can elect a Legislature
that will contest me out and Judge
Robinson in, that will be different.

The Governors Message

Governor Hatfield's message to the
legislature upon yesterday was a sur
prising document. Pretending to be
actuated by motives OF service to the
state, the paper Is an appeal to base
political prejudiees and partisan pas
sions to our mind hardly worthy OF a
Republican governor OF West Virginia
Whatever there is OF necessity in the
situation confronting the state with
respect to political matters, an appeal
for action should have been justified
on some other ground than partisan
bushwhAcking.
1t is possible for the legislature to
perform some good work; it is posi-
bic to achieve reforms for the benefit
OF the people as a whole.
The correction OF the primary and
registration acts, the repeal OF a stat
ute giving the governor extraordinary
power over elective offcers and the
amendment of contest statute which
places arbitrary power in the hands Of
the executive afford problems which
invite attention now that the law
makers are convened and whether the
emergency was genuine and required
an extra session or not is a matter
now for academic discussion but in a
practical way Is settled.
Governor Hatfield, in sdyocating
these reforms. reverses himself upon
almost every phase OF every one OF
them. Primarily, as we have pointed
out, he himself sought to use or abuse
the statute with respect TO removals
by the executive. He, himself. was
responsible for the statute which ex-
tended the governors power over ap-
pointiye officers and which made him
tyrant over tenure OF Office; he and
the members Of the legislature In
sympathy with him passed tbe pri-
mary law IN it's present form over Op-
position protest against the very evils
Of which he now complains. These
facts should have served 20 make him
moderate I'm his recommendations
The State Journal yields TO no one
In respect 20 its devotion to Republi-
can principle. Il sdberes stoutly to
devotion to the traditions 81 the party
In the state, as 70 does in the astioB.
Moreover, IL believes that Il Is the
duty Of party leaders and party men
IN Office 70 protect the party's interests
whenever these interests do not run
counter 20 public interests.
Il does not and csnnot believe that
the performance Of the governor Of
West Virginia, IN his address 20 che
legislature upon yesterday. Was in
conformity with Republican principle,
OF that Il was primarily designed ~
protect the public welfare Il does
not believe that BY such manifesto
tons the best interests Of the party
are cOnsefYed. The ill-concealed ap-
peal for partisan reDrisals and fac
tional warfare should be ignored BY
the legislature. Il should address y
self TO those things and to such action
as may be presented 10 the people as
