 Nasty" FEW WORKING
 IN THE MINES

Washington, Nov. 13-Ac- tivities of radicals threaten serious trouble in the bitumi- nous coal mine fields of West Virginia, according to reports received today by the depart ment of justice.
 The situation in Monongolia and Taylor Counties was de- scribed by department Of jus tice officials as ''particularly nasty"
 Meetings directed and attended largely by Russians have precipitated some violence among the coal miners the reports said.
 Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 13.-Out of a normal working force of 12, 900 min CTS on the Kanawha coal field, not more than 1,500 were in the mines to- day. While a few miners have re- turned to work following the United Mine Workers recall of the strike or der, indications are that a majority of the men will not enter the mines until they have been officially noti- fled to do so by their international executives.

WILSON FIRES FIRST
 GUN IN CONTEST FOR
 GUBERNATORIAL SEAT
LAKES OPEN BID FOR SUPPORT OF SUE FRAGISTS AT DINNER AT STRATFIELD
 LAST NIGHT-SUGGEST ANOTHER
 TEMPT TO GET SPECIAL SESSION.

Lieutenant-GOVern0r Cliff ford E. Wilson drove the open ing wedge in his campaign for the gubernatOrial nomination ill 1920 when he appeared last night before the suffrage con- VentiOn i'll the StratfieId hotel and made an open bid for the support of the ladies at the polls next year.
 He urged them to work for special session of the General As sembly which he deems absolutely necessary.
 While MT. Wilson is the mayor of Bridgeport he appeared before the convention more in the role of the eutenant-gOvernor than he did as mayor.
 He stated that he believed that the enfranchisement of women would be in effect before the next election and since there were more women who would be made voters than are now on the lists.
 He believes. he says, that if the se- lectmen are ito make this tremen- Gous number as voters they will re- quire a great deal more than five days allowed by law. To this end he 1-rges a special session of the legisla- lure under the excuse that the select men must have the time to act
 By his support of the suffra SC movement MT. Wilson clearly makes 6 bid for the support of the women and drives the opening wedge in his campaign.
 In his talk last night Mir Wilson clearly showed that he believed that suffrage for the women would be in effect before November 1920, and time and again urged them to try for the special session and practically promised whatever aid he could give.

CUT THE WEEDS

The weeds that are growing pro-
fusely along the sidewalks and the
vacant lots in Montpelier are a dis
grace to the city and show an utter
lack of civic pride upon the part of
the citizens. We doubt if there is
another town the size of Montpelier
in the United States that can produce
larger crop of weeds. Are the peo-
pie of Montpelier always going to
live in htesi fuorbMrouieoa- 6onthaa
live in this easy-going, don't-give-a-
darn sort of a way or will they wake
up some day and decide to keep the
town looking live a real live COM
munity instead of a deserted vii
lage?
We would like TO see the mayor
call upon the citizens to set aside a
few hours some day for the pur-
pose of making war on the weeds.
The united effort of a hundred or
more men and boys for three~or four
hours would practically rid the town
of the weeds, and add about 1000 per
cent to its appearance.
Why not do it?

THEN AND NOW.

1t will be remembered that it was
the constant cry of Moses Alexander
that he had saved the people of Ida
no a million dollars. 1t developed
after he had gone out of office, that
the saving consisted of saving up that
much Indebtedness for the following
administration to pay.
He and his associates also made
another saving, but the saving was
to the people who bought state land
and not to the whole people of Ida
no. His land commissioner, A. l.
Smoot, had the habit OF letting the
bidders at the land sales get togeth-
er before the sale and agree among
themselves not to bid against each
other and not to bid more than the
value. The result was of
course that the land brought about
half the actual value. This outrage

LAD LOSES FOOT
UNDER CAR WHEEL

Deverel, the 5-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Watson of Noyene,
was brought to the hospital yester-
day evening with his right foot so
badly mashed that it was necessary
to amputate the leg about two inches
above the ankle.
The accident happened at Novene
as the east bound local freight was
pulling in on the side track. No one
saw the accident and it is not known
just how the lad come 10 get his
foot under the car wheel. One sup
position is that he attempted to board
the slowly moving train and was
thrown to the ground The lad was
seen to be playing along the track
as the train pulled into the siding
and Conductor Bourne's idea is that
he was running along the side of the
train and fell in such manner that
one car wheel caught his foot
The cries of the lad brought the
crew to his side, and when the nature
of his injury was learned Mr.. Bourne
pleced the lad and his parents on
board the train and came to Mont
pelier as quickly as possible.
This morning the little fellow was
resting we'll and it is believed he will
recover from the effects of the shock
and operation.
