THE DUMPING OF Chiffon.

A LII over West Virginia the Democrats, who
r. claimed everything in the first few weeks Of
the campaign, have now narrowed down their
claims 10 one man-Cornwell, whom they still pro-
fess to believe will defeat Judge Robinson. This
is done for two reasons first, because their claim
that Hughes would lose this state they themselves
knew never had any basis, and to claim everything
i'll sight made their claim OF Cornwclls election
equally absurd with the claim for Wilson'S victory
IN West Virginia: but, second. and more important
Democrats have ccntered their campaign or Corn
well alone and are tryin. 10 blind their fight
on him alone by declaring that he is the one man
on the Democratic ticket with strength.
There is nothing in Cornwcll' record, his person.
ality or his ability to draw votes from Judge Rob-
inson. But something has 10 he done, a good many
words have to be spoken, TO up the fact that
the Democratic organization in almost every coun-
ty. in every Watson county ut least, las abandon
cd Chiffon, abandoned the Congressional nominees
and all OF the State ticket except Cornwcl, to put
him over and capture the appointing power of this
state. The work has been done stupidity.
Chiffon may not have many staunch workers
with influence in some Of the northern countless but
there is nothing TO prevent Chiffon in Charleston
from knowing what every Republican all over the
State now knows-that with the Democratic head
quarters at Farmont, it is Cornwell first last and
all the time.

CHILTON'S CALL

ID ITTSBURGlI papers and doubtless newspapers
III in other cities of the country one day this
~ week contained dispatch from Charleston,
this state to the effect that the posofce had been
swamped by great quantities of political literature
all under frank, which is daily being dumped
upon it. The legitimate business of the office is
suffering in consequence of the glut of matter upon
which not cents worth of postage is paid and the
business men are complaining.
No name was mentioned in this item but no in
4elhgent West Virginan needed more than one
guess to name the candidate who is guilty of this
abuse of the frankng privilege for there scarce
man in the state who has not received at least
one piece of mail from William +. Chiffon who is
running for reelection to the United States Senate
ION the Democratic ticket.
NJ Most of the matter which Chiffon is sending out
the great injury Of the business men Of Charles
ton is matter such should never have been frank
red. 1t is straight personal mail sent out for per-
sonal purpose and in no wise connected with the
public business If the question were raised wheth-
er or not it legally could be sent under frank
there is not the slightest doubt that it would be
fFuled out.
~ Some time since announcement was made that
the members of President Wilson's cabinet had de-
tsrmined to pay postage on all political matter
which they sent out in order to be on the safe side
with regard to the laws and postal regulations re-
.garding franking. Senator Chiffon did not take
the hint But that is not strange. His whole ca
rcer indicates that his highest view of public office
is that it is private snap.

SOUTHERN COUNTIES SOLID.

D EPORTS from thoroughly reliable sources in
N dicate that the southern counties will give the
usual Republican majories for the Republi-
can state ticket, and that in some countless notably
Mingo, Mcdowell, Mercer, Raleigh and Wyoming,
the majoritics will largely exceed those of former
years This is due il is said, TO two primary causes
First there is better state of party harmony than
for years. Second, developments which have taken
place in the great COAL oil and gas fields in south.
ern West Virginia have brought in thousands OF
voters during the past four years and it is a con-
scrvatlvc estimate to say that eighty per cent of
these voters are Republicans
Judge Robinson, who completed his tour of the
southern section on last Saturday, received
with the most gratifying evidences of loyalty and
enthusiasm.
In Cabell county, mootcd as ''thc worst spot in
the state Judge Robnson's reception in three
great meetings such to leave not the slight.
est doubt that Cabcll county is in line. Reports
from Huntington say that by personal contact with
the voters there Judge Robinson removed prejll-
dices that had been built up by his enemies who
are aligned with Watson and CornwelI. and that
he is eight hundred votes stronger in the county as
a result of his visit.
