MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

HE extravaganza and the favoritism shown in
the management of the affairs of Marion coun-
ty have made for it the reputation of being one
OF the "horrible examples" of county mismanage-
ment in this state, and on the outside the people
find it difficult to understand why we do not make
"a change.
I A. change is precisely what is needed This coun-
ty is one Of the weahest it certainly is of the
most progressive of the political di.isions of the
state, but it has government that is far from be-
ing in keeping with the growth of poulation and
business. close corporation has controlled county
affairs for long time and no one on the outside
OF the ring can be that he knows what is going
on. 1t is certain, however, that many things hap
pen that are without sanction of law or good bust
ness practice.
But instead Of preparing to inject new blood into
the management of the peoples business, the Dem
ocrats are seeking to make the ring more secure
! by promoting Glover from county commissioner
ship to the shrievalty and putting man they can
rely upon in his place.
This is directly contrary to the best interests of
the people. In many states there is provision in
the constitution which prevents just such tying up
OF county affairs But even if there is no provision
in the West Virginia fundamental law for minority
representation in the county government, there is
nothing to prevent the voters from securing BIZ
partisan government by selecting minority party
representatives at the polls.
In w. II. Veach, the candidate for sheriff, and
NV. P. Mason, the candidate for county commission
Ter, the Republican ticket presents two men of ex-
ceptional ability and force Of character. If the
voters are wise and elect them to office sudden
stop will be put to all the questionable practices
which enable number of political hangers on to
