THE PIONEER PRESS OF MARTINS
BURG, WEST VIRGINIA CELE-
BRATES ITS THIRTY-F1FTH
BIRTHDAY.

Brother J. R. Clifford, Editor and
founder of the Pioneer Press, Martins
burg, West Virginia, celebrated its 35th
birthday, the past week-and he speaks
of that event in the following manner.
"This paper is thirty-fve years old
to-day, March 2, 1917. It has been
put to many crucial tests; fought and
won many victories. Politicians have
tried to kill it three times; an old
Presiding elder stamped it under his
feet in pulpits over this state and
called it ga dirty dimocrat Sheet"
it has elected and defeated congress
men. Its editor thirty days in Jail, in
nocent as was Paul, kept it going; and
now, in his hoary age having fought
in the war that freed 100000 slaves,
with increasing aches and pains, de-
serves a rest"
Brother Clifford you have fought
nobly and bravely for so many years,
single handed and alone and by and by
you are bound to enter into your just
reward which you so richly Deserve

FETZER GAINS II VOTES IN 20
PRECINCTS.

William R. Fetzer, who was pro-
claimed victor over Aid. Merriam by
five votes last Monday as Republican
aldermanic nominee of the Seventh
ward, gained an additional seventeen
votes in the first twenty precincts in
the recount which was started yester-
day in the offices of the board of cleo
tion commissioners. Twelve ballots
were contested by Attorney W. w.
Wheelock for Aid. Merriam. They will
be submitted to County Judge Thomas
f. Scully for ruling.
Most of Aid. Merriam's losses re-
suited from ballots which, though
counted to his credit originally, were
without the election judges indorse-
ment. He lost several others when it
was discovered that the voter had
placed crosses both in front and in
back of his name.
The many friends of Alderman Mer-
RAM are urging him to become an
independent candidate in case he is
counted out, for they feel that he will
be able to win out in the face of all
opposition.

Chairman Henry Starts Excitement

Chairman Henry sat through this
par, of the testimony with immovable
countenance, but took the stand as soon
as Lawson had finished and made a
sweeping and complete denial. This had
an immediate effect upon Lawson. Up
to that time he had been talking in an
ordinary voice, almost in an under
tone But he sprang to his feet and
with face appraised and eyes flashing
he called out in loud, clear voice:
Every word l nave uttered mere to-
day was the truth, SO help me God,
without variation"
Mr.. Lawson was met at the hearing
pared for the committee by Repre-
sentative Lenroot of Wisconsin. These
questions all involved previous queries
put up to the Boston man at previous
hearings and left unanswered by him.
However. he begged to make one open
ing statement, and that was his rea-
sons for keeping his information to
himself at the outset. This. he said,
was because the names involved were
of so prominent character. He said,
also, that he had previously given one
name to Speaker Clark, that Of Charles
H. Sabin. president of the Guaranty
Trust Company, who has since sailed to
Europe. Mr.. Lawson asked again that
mis- information be given in private. but
the committee directed him to go
ahead publicly Lawson settled back for
a long siege, and the questions began
to be read to him.
