The repub lican party, he said, had reverted to type. and would bear close watching in the future He praised President Wilson's administration and conduct of the war.
 Attorney General Palmer said that if past achievemtn assured future vic tory, the party could write today the political history of the next decade at least.

 "The ahrd-won victory of American arms will prove but a hollow and availing triumph, if we do not make certain that out Of it shall come a greater liberty, a better America and a surer peace. To these ends, the dem ocratic party proposes to consecrate itself"
 Chairman Cummings vigorously at tackled President Wilson's critics and said the republican leaders were at tempting to mobilize the forces of dis content, in order to defeat the demo . crats. He said he was proud of the power of the United States and proud of the manner in which that power had been ued under the leadership of Pres ident Wilson. He described the league

During the war our government

responsible for the present day prices,
especially of labor. Labor entering
into the cost of everything made rep

inportant of the two. The greatest

SOME FRENCH SONGS
Also a Little Talk By an
Early Fairmont Y. M.
C. A. Secretary.

This mornings rain amounted to al
most cloudburst at the fairgrounds
where the Domestic Coke company is
constructing q great by-product plant
and the contemplated visit of the Ro-
tary club to the development today
had to be abandoned. This trip villa
be made next week.
The outstanding features Of today's
very pleasant meeting Of the club, as
usual at the Y. NJ. C.. A. were few
French marching songs played and
sung by John Hart. talented young
citizen of Clarksburg who was guest
at the meeting and a little talk by
Lewis Hawley, of Brooklyn, N. Y. and
a Rotarian Of that town.
Ten or twelve years ago Mr.. Haw-
ley was secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
here and 1t was during his term that
the movement to erect the present
building began. He said some very
flattering things about Fairmont and
Fairmont growth during the past dec
ade but the most interesting thing he
said was that the fellows who were
leaders in public movements back in
his time are still leading and belong to
the Rotary club for the most part.
1t was announced that the Fairmont
Rotary club picnic is to be held on
Thursday October and the board Of
governors Of the Country club has
rendered that clubs building and the
grounds for the occasion. Announce
ment to this effect, made by George
DeBolt was enthusiastically greeted.
