CORY HOGG DID
NOT TELL IT ALL
Some Statistics He Ignored
In His Court House
Speech.

State Senator Cory Hogg, Of Fay.
ette county, who is candidate for the
Democratic Gubernatorial nomination
was In Fairmont yesterday and in the
evening made speech In the circuit
court room which contained an audi
ence that included besides representa-.
tive Democrats from different sections
OF the county number Of Republicans
and sprinkling Of women. Senator
itogg was accompanied on his visit to
this city by Hon. George Byrne. Sen.
ator Hogg was accompanied on his
visit to this city by Hon. George Byrne,
OF Charleston. who also addressed the
court house meeting. Hon. Scott
Lowe presided and introduced the
speakers. : :
Senator Hogg came here ostensibly
to further his candidacy for the Dem.
ocrattc nomination but his speech was
largely an attack upon the Hatfield
administration and the Republican
party III the state as a whole. The
speech was replete with statistics and
financial statements perfectly familiar
to those who have examined the Audit
OF tho Finances Of the State Of West
Virginia but 1t was remarked after
the MEETING that no mention was
made OF some financial facts which are
every bit as pertinent to the present
campaign as those which were given,
For instance the Senator did not refer
to the fact that while he was serving
as Senator he received the sum Of
S21.20 as mileage. Nor did he cali
attention to the fact under the Repub.
lican administration of the states af.
fairs full and detail statement of ev.
cry penny spent Is made to the public
annually. The Hon. Ira Apins re-.
ceived $11S.60 mileage and the Hon.
G. L. Shaver received S105. so mileage.
both residents Of Fairmont. The sen.
tor failed to expain the difference.
Senator Hogg made much complaint
OF the primary law enacted at the last
Legislature. He failed to state to his
hearers that he voted for that bloody
bill as did every other Democratic sen.
ator of that body.

No Other Proposition Can
Compare With the 1000 Club

Yesterday was legal holiday for
the banks, the postoffice, and most OF
the business houses, but the work and
fun OF winning the prizes amounting
to $1,000 which are to be distributed
among members OF the West virginlan
1900 Club" went merrily on Just the
same.
The big race Is barely started as
yet-the Automobile Is anybody's mo.
tor car still-but with the new mem.
bers coming in daily, all the SYMPTOMS
of warm fight are beginning to de.
velop.
There are so many attractive fea.
lures about the 1000 club that any.
one who values spare moments can.
not help but be interested. The fact
that there is something for every.
one makes 1t especially attractive. All
risk Of loss, or chance Of disappoint.
ment having been eliminated there
Is no reason why anyone should hold
back. Doctors, lawyers, streetcar
men, farmers( office men, high school
young fellows, teachers, young ladies'
who appreciate excitment and big
awards canot help but be interested
in the 1900 Club" for there Is some.
thing In 1t for each and every one
Of them. No matter who you are,
where you live, or how busy you are,
1t will be worth your while to be.
come an active member of the club.
By comparison with all other vot.
ing campaigns an similar propositions
the 1900 Club" stands out IKE a
mountain against the setting sun. The
fact that the very least that a member
of the 1000 Club will receive for his
or her efforts Is equal to the best aver.
age returns that 1t would be possible
to obtain from commission proposi.
tlons, such as are being set forth in
glowing terms by other papers, makes
It clear ttert ahehisHon .ficETAOIN
1t clear that there is absolutniv ="
