Campaign Document of 81

The campaign book in furtherance
of the candidacy of l.. B. Musgrove Of
Jasper for the United States Senate
has been issued by the Musgroye Vol
unteers of Jasper. The document,
which contains 80 pages, is printed IN
the same form and general style as
the Underwood campaign book of 1911,
which played such an important part
in defeating the designs of Capt. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson for election to
the Senate and insured the election OF
Oscar Underwood by a large majority
Thus, unconsciously, perhaps, the VOL
unteers paid a tribute to the effective

ago in opposition to Mr.. Musgrove's
candidate, Captain Hobson.

ARMED MINERS MEET

Charleston, w. Va, october A.-From
1900 to 5000 coal miners of the lower
Cabin Creek distric. in Kanawha county
w. Va, held conference here tonight
on the question of organizing the Guyan
valley coal fields in Logan county, before
November /. to the date set for the btu
minous coal strike, according to reports
from Gov. John j. Cornwelf s office. Many
of the miners taking part in the meeting
are armed, the governors reports indi-
Gated.
Possibilities of a march to the Guyan
valley fields similar to the one attempted
several weeks ago appeared, and were
discussed at the conference. Information
as to methods suggested for organizing
the fields was unavailable, however, as
President Frank Keney and Secretary
Fred Mooney of District II, were out OF
the city.
AS a restraining influence on the pro-
posal of an armed march state OFFICIALS
believe Governor Cornwell's warning Isl
sued after the attempted march in Sep
TENDER that any repetition Of the demon
stration would be regarded as insurrec-
ton against the government and treated
as such, and the counsel of the more con-
sentative of the miners. might be effec-
tive in causing the men to adopt other
measures.
The seriousness of the situation was
revealed today through a message from
Governor Cornwell to John l.. Lewis
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, In which he charged that a
second armed invasion of the GuyaH
fields was contemplated. He charged also
that arms and ammunition had been dis
tributed among the miners and that
there had been talk OF taking over con-
troll Of the government. The message was
in answer to dispatch from Mr.. Lew
in which he said he would not press TOT
federal investigation of the Guyan fields

issue, thereby identifying themselves
with the anti-alien faction, contrary to
the avowed principles of their leaders.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the government on Monday will ask
the House to reconsider the vote and
in view of certain circumstances 1t Is
regarded as possible that the House
may comply. These circumstances con-
Germ the convention entered into be-
tween Great Britain and France in
1918, in which it was agreed that
French pilots might bring French
ships into certain English ports and
that English pilots should be granted
reciprocal privilege in French ports
1t is contended that unless the House
of commons revises yesterdays vote
the government will be compelled to
denounce the convention and incur the
reproach OF treating the compact as
scrap of paper"
To this the anti-alien reply Is tnat
the convention was concluded secretly
and that information about it was only
dragged from a reluctant government
during yesterdays debate.
Dissatisfaction also is expected at the
way in which Edward Short, home Sc
cretary, handled the bill in Commons

constitutional lawyers on Friday
delved deep into opinions of the supreme
court of this state in an effort to as
certain whether or not the speaker was
eligible to hold the office.
Governor Kilby named Speaker Mer-
rift to succeed Judge j. B. Brown, after
Mr.. Brown had been named member
of the supreme court 10 succeed Justice
j. j. Mayfield, who was named code
comm ssioner.
Governor Kilby was advised by com
petent counsel before naming Speaker
Merritt to the court of appeals. The gov
ernor Friday afternoon told representa-
tive of newspapers that seG<on 50 was
quite clear and thar he had The authority
to name under the section.
The governor SAID.
Before appointing Mr. Merritt to a
place on the court of appeals l invesu-
gated the question of his eligibility with
special reference to section 50 of the con-
stitution being advised by competent
counsel. Section 50 provides that no
senator or representative during the term
for which he shall have been elected, be
appointed to any office of profit under
this state, which shall have been created,
or the emolument of which shall have
been increased during such term, with
the following exception, appointing TO
such office as may be filled by election
by the people. The office OF judge OF
the court of appeals is an office which
may be filled by election by the people,
Notwithstanding vacancies may be filed
by appointment.
1.-THE purpose OF the makers of the con-
stitution was clearly to prevent the crea-
ton of offices by the legislature or the
increase of salaries, to be enjoyed by
senators and representatives by appoint
ment for full term. This clearly is shown
by the exception itself.
