Mr.. Cornwell has been making
many statements as to my admins
tration that are cOntcmptibly malicl-
Gus. He seems not in the least con
cerned as TO the truth OF the charges
he may utter. and his recklessness in
this regard has discrcdlted him as Il
candidate before the people of the
state.
/ must repeat the assertion made
In my letters: ! am convinced of the
maliciousness of Mr.. Cornwell's de-
sire to make libelous statements
about me, as he has about others,
and In this he will not be permitted
TO continue his barefaced falsehoods
without due recourse by me. must
insist that he state the truth in hts
assertions about my administration
acts In the futurc-a thing he has
been unwilling to do in the past
Mr.. Cornwell asserts some
thing is wrong as to a
certain expenditure OF ST.
957.S4 made payable to Guy B, Bid
dinger from the civil contingent fund.
This expenditure was given the widest
publicity in the state at the time it
was made. 1t has been approved by
the legislature of 1915 as Just and
proper one. and and in this connec-
tion / wish to quote communication
addressed to me by Judge William
S. O'Brlen, Democrat, Judge of the
circuit court Of Upshur county, in
which he urges that the payment
should be made by the state in order
that the ends Of justice might be pro-
tected:

Hon. H. D. Hatfield,
Charleston, w. Va.
Dear Sir
"Hayin gin mind our conversation
in relation to the bribery trials had
during my recent visit to Charleston,
make bold TO write you in reference
to the Biddinger allowance, which 30
far remains unsatistled by the state
Of West Virginia
from personal standpoint l have
no interest whatever in payment of
this claim. other than the satisfaction
which the approval Of my action in
the matter would bring to me This
purely personal interest will not be
considered.
Il have no special interest in ask
ing It's approval because it was al
lowed by me az the trial judge and
as the representative of the state OF
West Virginia, in the light OF official
iuty. | tried TO acquaint you with
he main grounds for my action, and
feel that you approve it.
Then II was right, or in the main,
right, why should the court be left
under undue criticism, for the doing
of the thing.
As you will understand. I should
not at present by publication try to
allay criticism These bribery cases
are yet pending in our courts.
There should be no proceedings
had TO compel its satisfaction for
such action would, in my humble
opinion, be proclamation to our
citizenship that the resources OF the
state are not to be arrayed on the
side of public welfare in the prose,
cution OF those charged with official
graft and bribery. and that our legis.
lature Is yet to remain an open field
Of corruption.
And now, Mr.. Governor. 1t appears
to me that the present attitude In
reference to this allowance Is causing
those prosecutions to lose benehcpnt

to accept my challenge to meet me up
on the stump. it is my purpose to take
the platform myself in West Virginia.
and II he is really DESTROYS OF having
good attendance at his meetings
would again urge him TO accept my
challenge so an opportunity will b
given to discuss the issues that he
has raised against my administration.

here yesterday.
Asked whether he thought any
friction would develop at the st.
Louis convention, Mr.. Howell smiled
and remarked that he believed 1t
would be regular love feast. In
fact, he is OF the opinion that it will
be one of the quietest ever held by
the national democratic party and
that there will be but one candidate,
Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. Howell ex-
poets no opposition to the president.
He predicts that the convention will
be tame" and that there would be
mot a chirp."
He pointed out that Champ Clark
had already declared himself for
Wilson. and thought that the Bryan
faction would amount to practically
nothing. Wilson's nomination will
be made unanimous without fuss or
friction, the Georgia committeeman
feels confident.-Newsa and Courier.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
OF the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

CALIFORNIA ELECTORS
GIVEN CERTIFICATES

Sacramento, Nov. aS.--Frank Jor-
dan, secretary OF state. has sur
rendered" After announcing time
and again that he would not issue
certificates Of election to the Is
democratic electors until all returns
were in his Office, including the MISS
Ing Orangethorpe precinct. Jordan
weakened and at midnight issued GER
tificates with the orangethorpe fig
ures still out.
Jordan's explanation was that
while the law does not make ii man
datory upon him TO issue the certifi-
Gates the last Monday in November,
he thought it best to do so to avoid
confusion.
Jordan called attention to what he
terms serious defect in the election
law-that in cases such as arose in
Orange county. when the tally sheet
was placed in sealed envelope and
no return made to the county's super
visors, the Ia wdoes not vest power in
any authority to ascertain the facts.
He suggests action by the next legis-
lature to remedy this defect.
