REPUBLICAN LEGISLA
TIVE CONVENTION

The Republicans OF the legis.
lative district of Wise aud
Dickinson counties held their
convention at st paul last Sat
nrday, March 10Th aud organ
lied with DR., j IL. Hugy, of
Wise county in the chair, and
II. b. Chase, of Dickinson, sec
Rotary. y call of the roll show
ed Dickinson county fully rep
resented and Wise with 30 out
of III delegates present, How
ever, those present cast the full
vote of the county.
The committee on resolutions
reported a platform, one plank
of which Indignantly dcnounc-
ed the dominant party of the
state for it's refusal to redistrict
the state and points out that
this district contains over so
900 people, mostly white, where
as there are other districts with
less than 5000, a large percent
of whom are colored aud non.
voting, and then goes on to say
that this alleged injustice will
not be submitted to without
vigorous and energetic protest
longer than 1922 when il will
become the constitutional duty
of the Legislature To again re.
district the state.
j. NJ. Quillen. of Coeburn
and Roland Il. Chase. of Clint
wood, present incumbent, were
placed before the conventions
and the ballot resulted IN
Glasses nomination.
This result was evidently the
outcome of the determination
of many of the delegates to
break away from the practice
hitherto prevailing of alternat-
ing the candidates for this Office
between the Two counties every
two years, and a belief that re-
gardiess of the exigences OF To-
cal party politics in either of
the counties, the correct policy
for either or both is 10 keep a
good man i'll the Legislature so
long as he will stay there.
IL is claimed for Mr.. Chase
that he has made n very eff
ficient and creditable member.

Campaign

Health Experts Say Large
Numbers Will Follow IN

Richmond, Va, March 20
Anticipating widespread pre-
valence of flies az result of the
mild winter, the State Board of
Health Is preparing to take
vigorous steps TO combe; what
is regarded as an unusually
serious menace. The more lilies

carrying pests, which have al
ready begun TO manifest them
selves.
Toward this end State health
officials urge all persons to
utilize To the limit fly traps,
which are an assured success,
and to give free hand in
welding the fly swatter. In
order to accomplish this, the de.
partment has suggested that
all hardware stores, drug stores
and similar retail shops put in
urge stocks of ny traps and
swatters.
"rhe season to swat the fly
is at hand" said an officer of
the board land if we are to con
time to reduce our typhoid rate
we must keep up our fight
against the pest. The ny is re.
sponsible for innumerable cases
of typhoid fever, summer com.
plant, diarrhoea and dysentery.
We must combat the fly from
all angles. In view Of the mild
winter we can be certain that
the flies will swarm in great
numbers this year.
Another matter is that of
the hook worm. Our winter
months have been so mild that
the hook worm larvae, which
flourish in polluted soil, have
not been killed. Therefore,
Virginians cannot be too care
full i'll exercising the safeguards
outlined by the department,
such as the protection of wells
and springs and introduction
and maintenance Of general
sanitary conditions on all
