While Republicans generally turn
n deaf ear to the call Of the Democrat-
ic siren, Lilly apparently has taken
this seeming friendship on the part
of Democrats seriously and has gladly
accepted the proffered assistance. IN
fact there are evidences that he Is Q !
party to the scheme 80 far as the
nomination Is concerned. and thathis
agents are furnishing most OF the
material for the false statements
which are being played up" with
elarlng headlines In the Democratic
press.
As Usual.
After the primaries, regardless OF
who is nominated. the Democratic
press can be depended upon to devote
Its columns to villainous abuse otsthe
Republican nominee.
According to Republicans here who
have discussed this organized move
ment on the part of meddlesome Dem-
ocrats for interference In Republi-
can affairs, 1t will serve to strength
en- the candidacy of Judge Robinson
MS Republicans resent such interler-
tance and look with suspicion upon
any candidate for Republican prefer
ence in whom Democrats show suctif
an unusual interest.
In discussing this matter the Ty-2
Ter County Star, published BY Harry
w. Smith, a stalwart Republican and
member Of the legislature, has the
following to say: X
Lilly and the Register.
The Star Is In receipt of marked
copy OF the Wheeling Register OF the
date of February s, sent out from
the Charleston headquarters Of Al, AZ

big headline, "Bosses Confer on Masl

then goes on to speak Of a conference
between the governor and other
prominent Republicans OF the state!

DISAPPEARANCE OF YOUNG
WOMAN VERY MYSTERIOUS
Police Search for Mabel Barnes
of NorthyieW, Missing Since
Tuesday Night.

At every turn police were today
baffled in their search for Miss Mabel
Barnes, age 81, who mysteriously dis
appeared from her home in Northview
Tuesday night. Members of the fam
lily are unable to advance any reason
for the young woman's disappearance.
and police have been unable to find
single clue as to her whereabouts.
That the young woman Is still In
this vicinity was about the only tam
gible clue that the officers had to
work on. This conclusion is drawn
from the statement OF members OF
the Barnes family that the missing
girl, had no money with her when she
left her home. Neither did she carry
any clothing other than what she
wore. according to the police.
According to the story told police
by members of the Barnes family.
the young woman left her home at
fO:SO o'clock Tuesday night without
saying anything to. anyone about go
ing away. When 1t was discovered
that she was missing, members ofthe
family made frantic effort to locate
her in Northview, but without avail.
The police OF this city were asked to
aid in the search this morning and a
description Of the missing girl was
given to every member OF the force.
Chief H. L. Brooks and City Detec-
tive l.. l.. White were paying special
attention to the case.
Temporary insanity was thought by
some to have cause the girl to leave
home under such mysterious circum-
stances, and police officials seemed in-
clined to take this theory.
M. l.. Barnes, father of the girl, was
in Clarksburg today, making an effort
to locate his daughter here. While
here he explained the case to the local
police, and was promised that they
would aid him in every manner pos
sible. Mr.. Barnes is an employee Of
the Clarksburg Light and Heat Com
pany.
The missing girl was described as
being 81 years Of age, five feet, six
inches In height. weighing about l4c
pounds. She has dark brown hair.
brown eyes, dark complexion. Atthe
time of her disappearance she wore q
checked and striped MILDLY blouse
and brown skirt.
Any Information as to the where
abouts Of the girl should be commun-
icated to Chief Of Police Harry Z.
Brooks, Of this city.

primaries, but Is also attempting 10

ing the meeting of the Democrallc

For several weeks part OF me
Democratic press has given more at-
tention to Republican candidates tpan
to those who are nspirants on tne
Democratic ticket and some OF the
leaders OF the "Gold Dust combine
have boen the principal boosters ior
few Of the aspiring Republicans. 10
some OF The side conferences held here
In connection with the meeting OF lhe
Democratic COMMITTEES the word was
passed along to Democrats through
out the state to use their influence
from now until the prmaries for such
Republican candidates as the Demo,

In the November election.
After Robinson.
According to prominent Democrats
who were In the conference and VINO
have received the tip, this ORGANIZED
fight is to be waged prlncipalIy
against Judge Ira e. Robinson, can
didate for the Republican nominatloh
for governor.
As result Democrats can pe nea,u .,.
in different parts Of the state Freely
predicting that Judge Robinson can
not win Tie nomination. but that Az,
torney General Lilly has a big lead
in the Republican race. In this mat
ter. the wish is father to the thought,
II ia not that the Democrats expect
10 give any Republican candidate as
sistance after the primaries, but TINS

nomination means a sweeping Victory
for the Republicans In the genera
election.
Press Active.
The Democratic press Throughout
the state has taken up this fight and
nearly every Democratic newspaper
is boosting Lilly and opposing Robin,
son. In these attempts to injure the
Robinson candidacy the Democratic
press will stoop to any kind OF mis
representation, The Democratic edl.
tors have agreed to give freely ol
their space for the TRADE against tho
Taylor county candidate. For tllea
present they will push campaign ol
Misrepresentation, as Is evidenced by
the false statements published this

counties, wherein 1t is claimed that
Robinson will lose both counties IN
the primaries, when as a matter OF
fact Judge Robinson on q visit here
Monday declared he, Is not worried IN
the slightest about the returns IRON
those counties and that he will carry
each by a large majority.
