ANOTHER PROTEST.

Friend Clayton
You have been Mayor of the his
toric city of Charles Town and your
political influence will go long way
in keeping the name of Charles
Town on the map which name is near
and dear to US all and should remain
thus in honor of the great Washing
ton family We must not be led a
stray by the younger generation for
they are so very thoughtless of the
great deeds of our fore Fathers.
If it comes to vote and the name of
Charles Town is voted down / would
suggest calling it Autoline being a
direct Autoline from New York to
Atlanta. Beulah is another pretty
name and easy to write and our
county is surely Sweet Beulah Land.
Wilson would be suitable in honor of
our Oh!William L. we loved you well.
G. MILTON SLIFER,
Richmond, Va.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISING

The Spirit of jefferson disclaims
any responsibility whatever for any
paid political advertising that has APP
peared or may hereafter appear in
its columns. 1t has always been the
political policy of this paper to give
everybody and all political parties a
square deal as far as our space for
political advertising is concerned
when paid for at our regular rates
for such advertising of rs cents per
inch, reserving the right to advo-
cate what policies we think proper in
our news and editorial columns and
they have been used in support of
the Democratic candidates in this
campaign. All such advertisements
should be offered at their face value,
as this paper does not vouch for the
correctness of any of the statements
therein contained, and leaves it TO
the readers of such advertising TO
determine whether or not the state
ments therein contained have any
merit or not.

Charleston, Oct. 28.-Convinced that
the election of Governor James NJ. Cox
TO the presidency of the United States
means a speedy consummation of world
peace, with a guarantee of its continu-
ance for generations to come; with
continuation of this country's present
prosperity, the voters of West Virginia
will give him their eight electoral votes
In the general election y. ---S
This is the firm conviction of all the
leaders at Democratic State Headduar-
ters. and is based on evidence that the
whole Democratic vote in the state and
thirty to forty per cent of the vote of
the Republicans-union labor Repub-
licans-will be cast for Governor Cox.
This great majority of West Vir-
ginians, in the opinion of State Chair
man II. f. Dunlap, will vote for Cox
and Roosevelt for the following very
potent reasons:
"First-Because he is for the League
of Nations, which West Virginias own
great statesman, Ambassador John w.
Davis, declares is "a program of &C
ton directed to a definite end-the
prevention of war;" six certain means
of which are provided in the League
covenant, as follows
'1-Reduction of ornaments.
2-AbOlition of wars of conquest.
'3-Arbitration of disputes and
abolition of wars of surprise.
"'4-Creation of a permanent court
of international justice.
abolition of secret treaties.
'6-International consultation and
cooperation in social activities of in
ternational concern
"On the other hand, Senator Harding
proposes to Scrap the League of Ma

nations participating, would make a
separate peace with Germany, and In
world relations keep this country In

whether figures for anthracite in
Washington correspond With those
Of shipments by operators. He also
asked for suggestions for increasing

figures on the probable price.
Members of a coal commission aD-
pointed for the District of Columbia.

DAY. contend that Washington is
short 36S.0OO tons OF anthracite and
100000 tons Of bitUminous coal Of
the amount it is estimated will be
required for District consumption
between now and March. 1921
