Huntington Has HunCh
II May Not Have $4,000

Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May b.-The
Chamber Of Commerce Of Huntington
W, Va. doesn't know what the govern
ment census Is going to show the .popu-
lation Of that city to. be. 1t has
hunch that when the figures are an
nounced. they will not be so close TO
the &C, 600 population that all good ana
laval boosters have been telling folks
as they travel about that their munich
pality has. 49,
So they sent to Washington to see
the director of the census the prince
OF Huntington pluggers, the secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, H. r.
Mathews. Mr.. Mathews saw the con-
gresham from the Huntington district
Mr.. woodward. and an engagement was
made to see the heads OF the census
bureau.
Mr.. Mathews told those officials that
il had been "unofficially" reported at
Huntington that that city was down
for a population of only $4,000. II he
expected the officials to let down their
guard and slip him the approximately
correct figures. Mr.. Mathews heart
sank deep in disappointing No
sacred relics of oriental religions are
more surely guarded than the census
totals, before they are ready 10 De
handed TO the press.
However. Secretary Mathews ola get
a most courteous hearing and the po-
Iitest kind Of assurances OF Hunting
TONS fair and profound consideration
nt the hands OF the census.
And that is all he did get.

yention. 1t has a normal Republican

method of obtaining an Intelligent ex-
preston Of the will Of the voters rela-
tive to q presidential candidate mas
proven a failure in practically every
state in which it has been tried. Even
in the state Of Ohio, one of the candi-
dates being a senator Of that state, the
vote in the presidential primary was
scarce one-third Of the total Republican
vote Of the state. In Illinois, the vote
was equally light, although Governor
I-oyden was a candidate, and in some OF
tho northwestern states in which pri-
maries have been held. the vote has not
averaged one-hfth Of the total registered
party vote.
The jurisdiction for presidential prt-
marles has been the claim that thereby
a free and untrammled expression OF the
popular will was obtained. This would
be the case II all potential voters par
ticipated in the primaries. 1t wouio
be the case II 1t were possible to present
to a large body Of the electorate, tho
claims, qualifications and merits OF In
dividual candidates, without eHtraordin-
airy expense. As 1t operates, however
the largo body OF the electorate abstain
from the primaries, either because OK
lack Of acquaintance with the candi-
dates or lack Of decision in their own
minds as to their merits. 1t is not
strange that thousands Of voters re-
fused to 90 to the polls to vote either
for or against men as to whom. in the
very nature OF things, they know very
little, and as to whose qualifications
they do not feel themselves competent
to pass Judgment. Even the most con-
sctentious voter would hesitate to cast
his ballot under these conditions, ana
vet they are conditions which are abso-
lutely unavoidable.
We have presidential primary in
West Virginia this year in which prob
ably a large number OF voters will par
tieipate. That will be. however. because
many Of the voters will turn out to
support local candidates for county
offices. The primary. under those con-
ditions, becomes burdensome because on
the primary ticket the names Of an Inn
mense number Of candidates will ap-
pear. many Of whom are entirely I'M
known to the majority Of the electors.
The primary system lends itself more
readily to q decision by the voters in q
small electoral unit. such as the masis-
terial district or the county but beyond
that In tho large majority Of cases it

JOHNSON IN CALIFORNIA

Senator johnson carried California
by a very large majority on Herbert
Hoover. This was the results general
ly anticipated. Johnson not only had
the advantage OF a wide acquaintance
throughout the state. but was in abso-
Lutte control Of all the party machinery.
Moreover, he has campaigned California
many times; has the prestige Of an
overwhelming victory gained in 1916.
The vote for Hoover. under the circum-
stances. Is significant. Nothing less
than an overwhelming Johnson victory
in California could have satisfied the
johnson radicals. Johnson's victory In
California Is not more impressive than
the victory Of Lowden in Illinois, nor
does 1t apparently indicate the over.
whelming preponderance OF support that
might have been expected.

generally when the disgruntled person is shown other lists to compare with his own, he is satisfied. It is under stood that while there have been many increases in valuations. the gen. eral plan has not been to boost the value to the actual market price. Thus, while theoretically speaking, New Britain property is assessed for it's full value it is not so in fact.
 The various city departm are beginning to prepare their budgets for presentation to the committee on finance and taxation and when the final budget is prepared by that board, and the tax rate recommended to the city meeting. developm ents are eX- pected. It seems almost certain that some departm ments will have their esti- mates cut greatly. and it is likely that some of the citizens, possibly the Taxpayers association, which made itself felt a year ago, may take 8 definite stand to keep the tax rate lower than that which will be recon- mended by the city officials.
