WASHINGTON. D. c., June Coy
ernor John J. Cornwell Is to be asked
By the suffrage organizations, nation
81 and state. to call a special session
OF the Legislature to pass on the suf-
frage amendment to the federal consti-
tuition. That was made known today
by an announcement from suff head
quarters here through a West Virgin
a woman VINO is prominent IN the
work for the cause. The strongest
sort OF pressure viii be brought to
bear on Gov. Cornwell, as well as on
all other governors Of states whose
legislatures are not due to meet for q
long time. 1t is the hope and ambition
Of the surf to get the amendment ratt.
lied by q sufficient number Of the
States to enable the women of the
country TO vote at the presidential
election In November, 1920. Senators
sutherland and Eldps and all six
Nmembers Of the House Of Representa-.
!ttves from West Virginia will be re-
Auuested TO sign an appeal to the Gov
ernor. It will be agitated throughout
the state, and, simultaneously, new
Campaign for suffrage will be started
in every county, directed by a strong
local and state organization. Cover

suooested Joint plseussIon.

The West Virginians IN Washington
have been interested in discussing the
possibilities OF suggestion offered
by some one here that 1t would be in
the nature Of helping to keep the
covenant of the we'll known League
OF Nations out of the ruck and much
OF partisan politics. IN West Virginia,
at least, IL it could be arranged to have
1t discussed by Governor Cornwell and
Col. George s. Wallace at series of
meetings. 1t would not only help in
that way, but it is urged that It would
serve to arouse the interest and stim-
ulate the intelligent thought of the
people of the State on a matter whose
supreme importance to every Amer
lean and to the future of the nation
nobody questions. Governor Cornwell
and Col. Wallace, 1t is pointed out, are
personally and politically close to each
other; both are Democratic party lead
ers who work in double harness in
party matters; both are able men who
have made study of the covenant
and have arrived at opposite conclu-
sions-Governor Cornwell for it and
Col. Wallace unaIterably against it;
each has for the other high opinion
OF his intellect and judgments and Col.
Wallace was selected by Governor
4Sornwell to handle the most important
business that has arisen, or is likely
to, during the, Cornwell term, namely.
the administration of the selective
draft law. In addition to his broad
experience in military and other
branches of Jurisprudence. Col Wal
lace IS fortunate IN having the exper-
fence Of being nine months in France
IN daily contact with the officers AMI
men and the multnarious rrasas OF
the war over there. II an arrange
ment can be made to get these ;wo
distiguished men to speak from The
isame platform It would be friendly
Eebate, free from prejudice and bit
! trness, conducted on high plane,
and by the same token that much
more beneficial in an Informative way
to the vast audiences that undoubtedly
would crowd forward eagerly to hear
them and learn from men competent
10 teach.

Arthur Wilson. aged II years, of
Bingamon came to Fairmont Saturday
to see show but before he returned
took little stroll through the NEGRO
rey five and ten cent store. He there
saw a number of playthings which he
would like to have and before he left
the store he had managed to hide
away exactly thirty eight different ar
ticles in his SMALL trouser pockets,
including looking glasses, goggles,
shoe strings and other small articles.
When caught in the act. the manage
ment of the store called Policeman
Ealile, who escorted the little fellow to
the city jail. He was placed in the
cell from about o'clock until about
1880 p. m, and he was crying Just
as hard when he was released as he
did when he first entered the Jail.
He promised 1.-THE officers that he,
would never Peal again and he vas

Here Is sketchy little story of
Mike Nebess, high grade product of
Uncle Sans great melting pot.
Mike was born in Syria twenty two
years ago. He was a mere youngster
when ne started for this land of prom
Use. He had hard time getting here.
He had little money, which soon gave
out, and he suffered many hardships.
But they didn't crush his spirit, nor
snuff out his youthful courage.
Fate buffeted him about quite lit
tie and finally tossed him up on the
hospitable village green at Huntsville,
W. Va. There he started little fruit
and confectionery shop, and he pros
hospitable village green at Harrisville,
took to Mike and Mike took to them
right off. A strong bond OF affection
sprung UP between him and them.
Then the war came. Mike was in
soul and spirit an American and proud
ly boosted Of It. But he was not legal.
ly one. He had never secured natural.
ization papers. But that made no diff.
ference in Mikes plan. He register
ed along with the other Harrisville
boys and in due course Of time found
himself at Camp Lee, student of the
rudiments OF soldiery. During his
months of training there, Mike won
his way to the championship wrestler
Of that great camp. He knew things
about wrestling that somehow the 9TH
er boys couldn't get wise to. Mike pin
ned the shoulders Of all corners II rhe
mat in the order of their coming.
In the meantime. Mike had been nat
uralized along with thousands upon
thousands of as good Americans as
ever lived who first saw the light OF
day under foreign skies, and he was
mighty proud boy when he sailed fo<
France. member of the famous fight
ing 18th infantry of the Old Hickory
Division that was destined to win i'm
perlshable renown by breaking the
Hindenburg line. OF his exploits upon
battlefields, only this need be saidA
Mike Hebess was wounded, cited in
orders for exceptional heroism in ac-
ton, and was recommended to receive

Nor, when Mike Hebess gave him
self to his adopted country was that all
he did. He loaned every dollar of his
savings, tidy sum. to Uncle Sam,
ana got oonos and war savings stamps
for his receipts.
In the meantime, while Mike daily
risked his life, the Turkish allies Of
the cruel foe he faced, got" Mikes

Of their suspicious aroused by many
signs and portents that have recently
become apparent indicating that Mr..

say him nay for the nomination. But
that now doesn't appear to be at all

will be the principal support. W
Cornwell aspires. Watson will be for
him; II he doesn't aspire when the
time comes. Watson will be for some

That is the consensus Of Democratic
opinion.

coeper Renorted Busy

The gubenatorial succession in
West Virginia burst forth as a sub
tect Of interest among the State colo
nists this week by reason Of reliable
reports arriving of the activity in sew
eral sections Of the State in behalf OF
the boom Of former Representative in
Congress, Edward Cooper of Bramwell.
These reports indicate true enough
that Mr.. Cooper and his friends have
started aggressively on plan Of coun-
~ organization Of those Republicans
who favor him as the man who logi-
eally should be selected by their party
TO head the State ticket next year. It
is conceded by the States politicians
In the Capital that the Bramwell man
has a no small following. and that a
number Of very influential leaders OF
the party, some holding high places In
the organization. are out and out Coop
er supporters. Representatives Goody-
koontz and Bowers are avowed Coop
er men and both have done effective
work in promoting party sentiment
Tor their friend. Those who are active
In booming Cooper make the follow
ing arguments prominent: ~ he has
the ability for the position, (2) he has
no fractional past to bob up to embar.
rass him, (3) his record as public Of
fcial is good one. "a his nomina-
ton next to their own, would be en-

talked Of as prospective candidates,

the burdens Of his candidacy, (6) he
