CsPEcIAL TO 5THC TELE6RhHl
CHARLESTON, Nov 22That the
Democrats propose to institute re-
counts and contests in many counties
of the state with the purpose in view OF
contesting the seat of Howard Suth-
erland as United States senator was
shown to be without question Tues
day when Thomas A. Bledsoe, repre-
senting the Democratic committee.
gave notice before. the Kanawha county
court, sitting as canvassing board,
that recounts would be demanded on
all offices.
Many dentals have recently been ut
tered by representatives of the Demo
cratic party that no steps looking to-
ward contest OF any Of the slaee
offices or United States senator was
contemplated but the notice filed here
shows conclusively that the Democrats
have planned to go to extreme length
in pushing these recounts, which are
preliminary to contests involving the
state elective officers and the United
States senatorshfp.

In All Its UgIineSs When Dem-
oCratiC Leaders Attack a
Senate Bill.
FOX REVEALS THE SCHEME
Democratic Senators Fight
Desperately but All to No
Purpose Whatever.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 22.-Tha:
Democratic leaders in the state senate
made plain their hand Tuesday and
showed conclusIvely that the threats
that had been made to remove Repub-8
lican elective officials through contest
proceedings before drum heals's
partisan court were amply justified
when they bombnrded with a series
OF amendments bill introduced In
the senate providing for an appeal
to the supreme court OF the state IN
the case OF any officer who might be-
removed by such a proceeding. It
had been charged by the Republican,
leaders that there was concerted
plan to GUST NIL the Republican state
officials by taking advantage OF an old
statute which provides that contests
shall be settled by especially a appoint
ed tribunal, ono to be appointed by
the contestee, one by the contestant
and one by the governor. The contest
ant has the right to file contest at any
time after the result Of the election
Is declared which would extend over
until after the inau guration OF John
j. Cornwell as governor that would
give Cornwell the power of naming
the third member OF the court
The bill agreed upon by the Reptb-
ltcnn members OF the legislature pro
yldes that any contest OF that nature
must be filed sixty days after the
time the result Is declared and fur
ther provides that the case must be
appealed to the supreme court.
Through their leader, Senator Fox
the Democrats tried to amend the bin
in reference to the sixty day provision
and continue the same provision as
now is on the statute books in order
to give Cornwel1 the appointmento OF
the third member of court. However.
his efforts were unsuccessful as the
Republican senator's were Unaimaus
in voting down the proposed amend
ment.
Another effort to nul1ify the effect
OF the measure was made by Senator
Morton in introducing another
amendment providing that the Sd
preme court could only pass Eup on the
Law and not upon the evidence tna
volYed In any proceeding but! thissItke
wise was voted down.
The two bills giving elective offics
ers whose seats may be contestedsand
appointtve officers with a fixed term
of office the right of appeal to the
supreme court In event of proceed
3tngs to oust them were passed to
third reading as they came from the
committee and all attempt OF the
sDemocrats5t to gemasculate themsproyed
unsuccessful.

.GARNETT WRONG
ABOUT BOY
IN JAIL
Declares Mrs. Stout Who Says
That Misleading Impressions
Are Made by Article.
fBy Mrs. Ross F. Stout }

y :
In order to correct wrong impress
sions caused by an article written by
w A Garnett and published in the
CIarksburg Telegram OF November
81, / wish to give the facts. The boy
mentioned, and at that time In Jail,
was not by any means a model boy,
but one that needed careful looking
after. This boy was a truant and
there seemed to be no influence that
could keep him in school.
The West Virginia Association of
Charities and Correction through Its
local organization took the matter up
and gave 1t careful consideration.
They put the boy in the day nursery
at First and Pike streets and then
tried to help the boy. He would not
stay there but ran away several times,
the last time escaping through a win
dow. They had done all that could
be done by them. SO the boy fell into
the hands of the law. The truant Of
ficer had to take him In charge and
did the only thing he could do-put
him in jail.
The further treatment Of the boy is
not matter of onsideration here ex-
cept to say he was we'll treated in the
jail.
The criticism or rather the insinua-
ton cast upon the West Virginia AS
sociation OF Charities and Correction
lis calculated to be misleading. and
does not present the facts. This So
ciety has done all 1t could do and
was using every effort to find means
of doing even better work, and was
not spending time idly talking while
needed help was denied in worthy
cause It did the practical things
first; then sought means of becoming
more efficient.

FITZGERALD FAVORS
FOODSTUF UFF EMBARGO
And He Announces 1T Will Be
His Purpose to Prepare
a Bill for 1t.

{ ~ 1 4
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Represen
tativo Fitzgerald, Democrat. chairman
OF the House appropriations commit
tee: announced wednesday that he fav-
ored an embargo on foodstuffs and that
1t was his purpose TO prepare a bin
and to press the subject early in the
coming session of Congress.
Two reasons chiefly impel me to
favor embargo legislation on food
stuffs," said Mr. fitzgerald. 1T is the
most effective weapon In our conf o-
aversy with Great Britain over It's un-
warranted outrages and indefenstble
black list of American merchants. AS
our foodstuffs are needed abroad an
embargo will be more effective than
weary months OF diplomatic negotia-
tions which end In the continuance OF
the indefensibIe practices against our
rights.
.-The embargo also should be m1-
posed for purely domestic reasons. The
prices Of foodstufrs have reached levels
that are bringing widespread distress
to the country. Many hundreds OF
thousands of our people are suffering
from the lack Of the necessities OF life.
Wholesale prices in many commodities
are less abroad today than they were a
year ago; here the retail prices have
advanced alaImingly.
''The argument that nothing should
be done to Interfere with the expansion
of our foreign trade does not impress
me. OF what profit is it IL our foreign
trade is to grow with leaps and bounds,
while our own people are brought to
the.verge OF starvation as aresult OF it:
.'The time is ripe for the embargo
and 4 hope to see legislation speedily
enacted to impose it. LeteAmerica4 be
