HOW FISHSR

AT ELECTION
Place on Ballot and Failure of
Voters to Understand How
to Vote, the Cause.

WILSONBURG, Nov. 11.-Prof r. NJ.
Fisher was unfortunate by reason OF
his name being printed opposite Louis
a. Johnson's, the successful candidate
on the Democratic ticket for the leEis-
lature. The Democrats conferred their
whole fight on Fisher in order to put
Louis across. Prof Fisher ran vel.
all over the county with the exception
OF few precincts in Clarksburg. His
vote was often ahead OF the high man.
In Sardis district he had one more
vote than Harrison. the high man, and
in Grant, Harrison only had one more
vote than Fisher.
The election officials say that many
who voted for Johnson thought they
were voting for Fisher by putting no
cross before his name and scratching
one Of the other Republican candidates.
but in that case they voted against
two Republicans, while others who
voted for Johnson never marked any
OF the other candidates, and such a
vote had to be counted against Fisher.
The Democrats voted a straight legis-
lative ticket.
Prof. Fisher says he had no special
workers at the polls outside of his
home precinct, and he used not penny
to influence a vote in the county. The

cratic ticket and have therefore found
a new political home, and there we
hope they will be allowed to rest in
peace, and remain in peace, although
that is hardly possible.
Since Prof. Fisher asked his friends
and the Telegram to give his opponents
fair treatment, he feels that party hon
or and political morals could be great
ly improved in certain precincts IN
Clarksburg as these Republicans could
not have been influenced by that sen
timental name founded on fiction that
reelected the president, but probaDly
on something more alluring but equal
ly effective.
Mr.. Fisher says there is but one way
for Republican to mark his ticket

Democrats last Tuesday

BRAZEN STEAL
NOW PLANNED
Democracy Intends to Try to
Deprive Republican State Of
fiCiaIs- Elect of Offices.

CHARLESTON. No. 11-That the
Democracy OF West Virginia now has
in view resort to notorious tactics
such as characterized the theft OF the
governorship from Judge Nathan
Goff in 1888 became known here to-
day in connection with the plans
being made by 1t to gain control of
the state board OF public works by
the removal OF all the Republican
state officials outside OF the governor.
The special interests are desperately
anxious to gain control or the state
board of public works made up of all

end they expect to institute contest
proceedings to deprive the success

or, state treasurer, commissioner OF

tary OF state of the Offices to which
they have been elected.
The manner of doing this. It is
declared. will be through the institu-
ton of contest proceedings against
all these officials. Section I'll of the
code OF West Virginia provides that
in case Of contest of any Of these of
fees, 1t shall be heard and decided by
q special court TO be instituted as fol-
lows:
The person declared elected shall
select one. the contestant another
and the governor n third person who
shall constitute the court and the
three, or any two OF them. shall meet
at a time and place to be appointed
by the governor. and being first duly
sworn impartially to decide according
to law and the truth upon the petition
returns and evidence submitted
them, shall proceed to hear and de-
ter1ntne the case and certify their
decision thereon to the governor.
Decision by this tribunal has been
declared by the supreme court to
be final The Democratic candidates
for the various state Offices could de-
lay the filing of contests until such
time as would render 1t the duty Of
the next governor, John j. Cornwe1l,
to appoint the third person to sit as

that there would be little delay In.
