NEW YORK, May 4.-The Second
avenue elevated has new unwritten
regulation regarding traffic. The OBJ
ject is to induce Marie Dlamco. OF Di-
vision street, TO 20 home from work
evenings on the surface, subway cars
or by taxicab. Marie Is q menace to
all that pertains to successful elevat-
ed rallroading.
Wien she got on an elevated train
the other evening she found she had
left at the wrong station SO she got
right between the rails and started TO
walk home, with no companion but
the live third rail. She seemed 10
think ghe had certain rights on the
elevated structure whether by vehicle
or afoot
She had walked two blocks when
another train came along and the mot
orman saw Marie. 1t was obvious that
II any one was to get out OF the way
IL would have to be the train. The re-
suit was that the motorman put on
the brakes and shook up nearly a
thousand passengers among them
some very nice people.
The next day the same thing hap
pened-and the next too. And now
every effort is being made TO convince
Marie OF the folly OF travelling on the
elevated except in the coaches. But
Marie has a way Of her own and will
not be taught.

TRYING TO GO BOTH WAYS

The earnest and increasing
efforts of the partisans of Gen
orally Lilly in this section to
create the impression that the
general is what they call a wet"
candidate, would be amusing if
they did not so seriously COM
promise the integrity of a can
didate for a high and honorable
position.
1t certainly can be no secret
to General Lilly that the princi-
pal, if not the sole, argument
used in his behalf in Ohio coun-
ty, and in some adjoining coun-
ties, has been that he is the So
called wet" candidate Exact
ly what is meant by that no one
knows If it is meant that At
torney General Lilly intends to
wink at violations of the law
and to make no efforts to have
laws enforced, it is certainly a
presentation of Lillyism that is
not likely to be received with
favor by the voters of the state.
General Lilly himself, however,
has been in this section a num-
Der of days He could not be
ignorant of the peculiar cam
paign that is being made in his
behalf, and SO far we have not
had any statement from him re-
pudiating that campaign. On
the contrary, it seems to have
his particulr approval
However, if General Lilly is
strangely silent upon the pecu-
liar Lilly campaign in Ohio
county, he is not silent in other
counties. AS heretofore mem
toned, General Lilly took oc-
casion in Webster county some
months ago to declare himself
an advocate of the prohibition
amendment, using these emphat-
ic words: at is good thing,
and | helped put in through"
Much more recently, in Hunt
ington, General Lilly went so
far as to make an attack upon
Judge Robinson, asserting that
he himself was better prohi-
bitionist than Judge Robinson,
or for that matter better than
any other prohibitionist in the
state, inasmuch as he would
have favored statutory prohibit
ton in 1901, something which a
large majority of the leading
temperance advocates did not
seek or desire.

Under WHICH FLAG7

Never in the history of West
Virginia politics has the divid-
ing line between corporate ag-
gresson and the interests of the
people been more plainly mark
ed than it is in the contest for
the Republican nomination for
governor.
Several corporate interests,
first and foremost among them
certain group Of coal operators
furnished the inspiration and
are furnishing the sinews for
the campaign Of Attorney Cen
eral A. A. Lilly. Their efforts in
his behalf defy denial. These
are the same interests that have
fought the efforts of the present
administration to conserve the
rights of the people. These in
terests are opposed to the admin
istration because they have not
been able to control. That is why
Mr.. Lilly proclaims himself an
administration candidate.
The chief support of Judge
Ira E Robinson comes from the
men who hive fought against the
attempts of the corporations to
be in control. They are assured
that with him governor the in
terests that wish to be favored
will receive the same considera-
ton, and-no more, that any 9TH
er element will receive. Judge
Robinson's record is conclusive
proof that he is not open to I'LL
terror influence, that he will be
guided by nothing not compati-
BILE with justice and honesty.
That is why the money bags
have been opened to defeat him.
Under which flag will the Re
publican party stand? Will it
place itself on the side of the in
terests that wish to dominate
or will it stand, as it has stood
steadfast for the popular good
The question will be answered
by the nomination of the party
candidate for governor and ev-
cry Republican voter will share
in the answer.

ROBINSON AND LABOR.

Few statements more force
fully in favor of Judge Ira E.
Robinson in his campaign for
the Republican nomination tor
governor have been made than a
letter written by Charles J..
Higgins, of Wheeling, president
of the West Virginia State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor which The
News has had the pleasure of
publishing. The facts contain
ed in Mr.. Higgins letter were
clear, eloquent and convincing
and bore out remarkably well
the expressed opinions of other
labor leaders who have declar-
ed their faith in Judge Robin
son as the next governor.
First disposing of a letter
circulated from the pen of I. ".
Barton, former state labor COM
missioner-who, like his leader
and most other notable advo-
Gates of the Lilly cause, has
personal grounds for his pres
ent political stand-Mr. Hug
gins called attention to the sup
port for Mr.Lilly being given by
the organized coal operators and
other.
"The workingmen of the state
had to fight for the Workmen's
Compensation law, and every
inch of the way they had to
fight the very men who are now
backing Abe Lilly" wrote Mr..
Higgins. who then gave a con-
crete instance of why Judge
Robinson has a clear title to the
support of workingmen, in his
famous dissenting opinion in the
martial law.cases. He wrote
that "this opinion of Judge Rob-
inson was commended in the
Senate of the United States and
has been universally accepted;
while on the other hand, A. A.
Lilly went before the investigat-
ing commission appointed by
the United States Senate and
spent days trying to justify the
martial law procedures"
From Judge Robinson"
wrote the president of the state
federation of labor, Eve expect
friendly consideration and fair
treatment. From Lilly, we ex-
pect nsthing."- Parkersburg
