BERKELEY FARM Err
LIKES KANSAS


Returning from a trip to Kansas
covering a period since August 14th,
last night Mr.. S. B, Stukey, one of
the substantial farmers of Berkeley
county, arrived here today and call.
ed on business friends before going
to his farm home near Shanghai, Mr.
Stuckeys trip was especially to see
his brother S. A.. Stuckey, who re-
sides at Wichita, who left his home
here 35 years ago, and who has not
seen Berkeley county for 81 years.
Mr.. Stuckey says that the extreme
late drought has ruined the Kansas
corn crop, but the farmers have the
benefits of heavy alfalfa and wheat
crops. He thinks the opportunity good
in the prairie country for the Young
man who wants to confine himself
to farming. but advises the man OF
mature years from leaving the old
homestead and friends of a lifetime
While in the west Mr.. Stuckey visited
parts of Oklahoma, and many coun-
ties in Kansas, and such cities as St
Louis and Kansas City.

related to him that the successful OPP
ponent, who is chief clerk in the OF
flee of the secretary of state, should
be hauled over the Goals for the IT.
Irregularities. Replies to Kings inraS,
LEGATIONS led him to believe that he
had received majority of the votes
and that he had been nominated, so
he claims. 1t was then too late, how
ever, and no public action was taken.
Young Makes Promise.
Recently in Clarksburg, Mr.. King
says he met Mr. Young, the succ ass,
ful opponent, and relating to him the
circumstances of the affair, openly
charged that the returns had bHel
tempered with in the office of the see
rotary of state. King related to re.
porters in Fairmont when he was
here, that Young admitted that there
had been tampering with the Mercer
county vote, but that he was not gull
ty of the act himself. King says
Young promised to tell, after the cleo
ton, who added the thousand votes
to his column.
On account of his treatment in re-
gard to his vote in the secretary's Of
fee, and because of some thrustS
that were made against him during
the campaign for nomination owing
to his religion, Mr.. King has joined
that already large hand of Republl-
cans who are in the open against me

ELECTION.
Especial to The World.)

FAIRMONT, Oct. Am his recent
address at Cass. Senator John j. Corn
well, Democratic nomine for gov
crncr had in his audience, Hon. Mike
King.of Elklna defeated in the Re-
publican primaries X May for the
nomination of secretary % state. In
the course of his remarks, Seh&t"r
Cornwell declared that in recording
the votes cast in the Republican prim-
airy for secretary of state, that the
figures from Mercer county had been
juggled, and that the successful as
pirant had certified to him thousand
more votes than he received in that
county. The speaker pointed his e.
marks at Mr.. King and asked if they
were not true.
No elaborate explanation was made
at the meeting by Mr.. King, but he
was in Fairmont recently, and told
the story of what looks like a gigan-
tic frame-up in regard to the nomina-
ton.
For the Republican nomination for
secretary of state, Mercer county gave
Hennig 651 votes; King 1888 votes,
and Young, 1,047 votes. This was
of state. But when the figures were
given out from that Charleston Of
flee, they showed that Young had re-
ceived 2,047 votes or just a thousand
more than he actually got in Mercer
county
King Gets Surprise.
Colonel King, who for a time had
nothing but the figures from the sec.
rotary of states office, could not un-
derstand why he had lost the county
by such vote, but was content 20
take his defeat gracefully. At the
Republican convention held in Hunt
ington, he met friend from Mercer
county who expressed the regret to
King that he had not carried Mercer
by larger majority. King, in his
amazement, rejoined that he did not
carry the county at all. His friend
declared he had, and the converse.
ton led to letter being addressed
! by King to j. A. French, clerk of
the Mercer county court. who gave
to King the accurate vote cast for
the office in his county

failure of the state officials to give
him the vote that was polled for him
