4 Especial Dispatch to West N.rg.uiau'
Z, CHARLESTON, w. Va. Nov Ct
The terms OF all the members of the
West Virginia legislature which has
been In session since last MONDAY, with
Z the exception OF those of the fifteen
Follower senators. expire next Thurs.
+ day night. Whether the third and last
extraordinary session will be helpful
pr hurtful to the Republican party re-.
mains for the future TO decide. Some
Bay the party is ruined by II. others
neclare that 1t is Strengthened in posi-
lion.
Since some time before the session
Z was called, Democracy has been in
evidence as an alarmist horde, and Il
has not been alone for many are the
Btanch Republicans who viewed the
2 eftuatton with alarm as concerns their
pwn party welfare, and great many
Of these have Joined with the Demo.
Gratis In deprecatIng the fact that Gov.
Rrnor Hatfield took things into his
I OWN hands, called the solons together
Rgain and submitted for their approval
p program which is looked upon by
many as vicious, and others as neces.
: barry to the protection of the Republi.
ran party in the future.
There are only n few persons in
West Virginia, after having seen the
primary election law tried. who do not
believe that this law as 1t appears upon
the statute books OF West Virginia. is
bar from what the people want. Still
z u was one of those generally demand
I'd measures that the people kept clam
g nrtng for until 1t was brought into eX-
lstence and one trial was sufficient to
Convince about everyone that ii is not
what West Virginia needs by long
shot to correct the election abuses
which have been public pest for
many years.
The present legislature is decidedly
Republican, both Senate and House
being of the same complexion as the
administration, yet there was some
doubt at first whether sufficient
number Of the law makers would see
as did the governor when he let il be
known that he was contemplating an
other extra session. The Senate went
through with the program without
much of protest, although when time
came for the passage of Senator Coat
ters Senate Bill No. ). the change of
base by one more Republican would
have figuratively put the administers
lion out Of joint. The House. after
the Democrats got through with con.
testing the seats of those members
who had eiher moved from their own
counties or had taken positions with
the administration, did not Show such
p strong majority favorable to the
Recommendation of the governor. and
there were times when alarm was felt
about the outcome of some OF the ad.
mfnistration measures.
Now that t session is practically
/, over, there is disposition on the part
I of the party leaders to get down to real
work and correct any misconceptions
that may be prevalent throughout the
