All over the County Are Enroll
ing in the Hughes Alliance in
Large Numbers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S-The ire
mendous high enrolment in the
Hughes alliance OF Democrats from
the southern states is strongly sig
niflcan of the great vote which Mr..
Hughes will get from the Democratic
ranks all over the country. Every
day the Hughes alliance receives a
large number of enrolment cards
signed by men who report them
selves as life long Democrats The
enrolment from southern states is
naturally almost wholly Democratic
and it has been large enough to war
rant the establishment of Hughes al
lance branches in nine states south
OF the Mason and Dixon line. Tha
ninth state is Florida, headquarters
having just been opened in Jackson
vile. Charles +. Goldstrohm writes
from DuqueBne. Pa, You can en-
roll me, Democrat for forty years,
as supporter OF Charles f.
Hughes" John C. Carroll, Of the
Third National Bank, st. Louis,
writes, Il have been a Democrat all
my life and assure you that can be

Cost $4,000 is to Be
Built Here.

Conference at its last session elected
a committee OF five TO act with like

l.. L. Oldaker: Laymen-I. N. Lucas.
Porter Maxwell, Frank Outright, A.
G. Lamont. $. c. Stevens and H. c.
Fordyce.
This committee with the pastor.
the Rev. j. r. Turkelson, met In the
chapel this week and suggested the
following plans: That the church
shall not be commenced until $l5,-
900 has been secured. and that TO Sc
cure this amount the pastor canvas
the members of the local church and
then canvas the business men OF the
city and the city in general. The
members of the committee expressed
their confidence in the pople OF
Clarksburg to support this enterprise.
To secure money enough to carry
the work on to completion the fol-
lowing plans we're suggested: That
the West Virginia Conference of the
Methodist Protestant church be
asked for $1,000; and that commit
tee be appointed to canvas the general
church after having secured permits
sion from the president of the gen
eral conference to do so.
The pastor with the people Of the
local church believes that If these
plans are carefully worked out,
enough money can be secured To-
build the church, and that II bal
ance be left unprovided for 1t will not
be any more than what the people
of the local church can take care of.
The church when finished will cost
