TALK PATRIOTISM
CLUB OPENING MOST
HEARTILY WELCOMED
BY the Public, Both In the City
Of ClaTkSburg and the Out
lying Districts.

The opening OF tho Telegram
10000 Club" has been heartily well
coined by the public. both in Clarks-
burg and in the outlying districts
which are to be included in the cam
paign.
Although the Telegram has con-
ductod previous campaigns and dis
tributed large amounts In prizes, new
or before has there been such VAL
liable aggregation Of awards offered,
nor such an interesting plan OF dis
tribution, and the large number Of
nominations received by the manager
OF the 10000 Club both Monday and
Tuesday proves that these facts are
appreciated by the public.
This is the first campaign over in
augurated in Clarksburg or Its viclni-
ty where there has been such generous
awards for everyone. No matter how
many enter the club, there will be a
cash prize for every member who
falls to win one OF the Overland six
cylinder cars or one OF the other
splendid prizes.
The plan Of campaign Is worthy
OF special consideration. II Is high
grade business proposition. There Is
nothing OF the buster of the ordinary
contest connected with II In any way.
II is an opportunity such as comes
but once in a lifetime. whore you
have absolutely no chance 10 lose.
Men OF influence, farmers. profess
sional men. young ladies from the
best families cannot fail to profit by
entering the 10000 Club" 1t costs
nothing to become an active member,
absolutely nothing-not single PEN
ny. A little OF your spare time and
one OF tho valuable awards Is yours.
The territory included in the cam,
paIgn Is so divided that every ono
has an equal opportunity to carry
OF the high honors OF the campaign.
The districts are so divided that
members will be competing with none
except other members OF their terri
tory. In this respect there are two
separate campaigns running at once
Separate awards Of equal value have
been provided In each district Thus
making It much easier for any one
of the prizes they desire.

BUMPERS TO
HOLD GREAT
CONVENTION
Under the Auspices of Brother
hood in Methodist Church
Thursday Night.

The great ''Do-Eothing party" will
hold It's national convention TO nomi-
nate candidates for president and vice
president of the United States at
o'clock Thursday night. 1t will be in
charge of the Clarksburg Brotherhood
In the lecture room OF the First Meth
odiBt episcopal church.
The platform will be discussed. the
candidates praised, lauded and ca
joled. Many noted men will be there
in person or proxy.
The committee in charge Is keeping
the slate for the convention officers
secret. But It is expected that a men,
Der OF the bar will be temporary chair
man. that an representing attorney
will occupy the chair permanently, that
noted Judge will be tho chairman OF
the committee on resolutions. and a
minority report from that committee
will be offered by kicker.
Numerous candidates are being
groomcd by their friends. The indi-
cations now point to the nomination
OF Henry Ford as the logical candi-
date Of the party, and II is rumored
that great apostle OF peace is ex-
pected to swing his influence and pow
er for peace In that direction.
The preparedness propaganda hav-
ing been so overwhelmingly defeated
here some months ago at the mock
Congress, the Ford men are very con-
fident, and every delegate that has a
Ford is working tongue and gravel for
Mr.. Ford's nomination. They expect
to run him in on his reputation. Mr..
Ford will be thore with his machine,
not steam roller.
1t is to be hoped that the refresh
ments will prevent boiling by the de-
feated candidates. except to bolt right
mp to the pie counter.

subject upon which he has well con-
sidered and well grounded ideas that
will stand the test OF time.
AS an able attorney. he has formed
an exceptionally wide acquaintance
with the best legal minds in this
state. Through constant association
with the men who for the last quar-
ter of century have played an i'm
portant part In writing all of the
principal statutes of our state, as we'll
as the best judicial talent that has
interpreted them from the bench, his
ideas Of what should be written upon
the statute books to become the laws
of the land are far from that OF an
amateur.
But above all these things let 1t
be remembered that he is an excep-
tionally dependable young man; an
exceptionally hard worker, who by
close application and strict attention
to the task at hand, has been emil
nently successful in all that he has
ever undertaken.
In all his work, both In public and
private life. he has given the very
best possible service; as clerk of the
circuit court and as sheriff of Dod-
bridge county, the business OF these
two important Offices were well cared
for in the very best possible manner
and his settlements are models of ac-
curacy that has never been surpassed.
Personally. his life is above re-
proach. He uses no stimulants of
any kind; wastes neither time nor
money; makes few promises and
keeps them all; stands without
hitchln'; and gets his chief enjoyment
out Of life by doing well the things

WITHDRAWAL OF
TROOPS is ASKED
Again by the Head OF the Gov
eminent Wilson Had Set
Up Some Time Ago.
REFERS TO DECLARATION
And Argues That Withdrawal
Would Be Best Proof of
"Uncie SANS" Attitude.


WASHINGTON, May 31.-The
American government has received
note from General Carranza regard
ing the situation growing out OF the
pursuit of Villa. While the note had
not been fully translated this morn
ing officials said II was not an uiti-
matum but continuance Of the cor
respondence on the question OF the
American troops remaining In Mex
leo.
The note asked for a definite ex-
PLANTATION of the presence OF Ameri-
can troops in Mexico and renews
Carranza's previous request for their
withdrawal.
The new note refers to the re-
peated declaration that the United
States wants no war with Mexico and
argues that the withdrawal of the
troops would be the best proof OF
that attitude on the part OF the
American government.
The continued presence of the
punitive expedition, the note says, is
having contrary effect. 1t goes on
TO say that Cerranza troops are now
able, both in numbers and position,
to control outlawry in northern Mex
leo and that cooperation by the
American troops to prevent in
cursio2a into the United States can
best be carried on by having the
forces on the American side of the
border It dec'r.es that had the
American troops now in Mexico been
engaged in patrol on the American
side the raids on Glenn Springs and
Boquillas could have been avoided.
