PARTIES BATTLE
FOR W. VIRGINIA
One of Bitterest Election
Fights Being Waged
There
BY LoRRY A. JACOBS

SPARKSBURG, W. Va, Oct. 20.
The presidential campaign of 1920 in
West Virginia is being fought, out on
the same lines and with the same bit
terness as was the Civil War. It has
been clearly brought out in the ma
tional campaign that the state was re-
garded as no mans land by both par
ties and that early and continued eff
forts would be put forth to capture
the electoral votes.
History Repeats Itself
One of the most remarkable sit
uations exists in the quaint old town
of Martinsburg, home of former Sem
ator Faulkner, whose family carries
many traditions of the south in its
history. In the struggle between the
north and the south, Martinsburg was
a fighting center that kept both ar
mics see-sawing back and forth for
months. And the town itself was
equally divided as far as humanity pos
sible, sending three companies to the
Federal army and three to the Con-
federate forces.
Practically the same situation exists
today and the battle is being waged

Georgia Woman Dies OF

BRUNSWICK, Oct. 20.-News
has been received of the death of
Mrs. Chas. H. Westbrook, in Shang-
hal, China, September IT, AS Miss
Annie May Arnold she was well
known and loved in Brunswick. She
is survived by her parents, Captain
and Mrs. C. E. Arnold and several
brothers and sisters. Mrs. West
brook sailed with her husband, DR..
C. G. Westbrook, from Vancouver
for Shanghai August II, just one
month before her death. Soon af-
ter arriving there she contracted
cholera, with several other mission
aries, and she succombed after three
days.
She was an accomplished musician,
a graduate of Bessie Tiff. DR.. West
brook was a professor in the Bap.
fist University of Shanghai, and
they went there soon after their
marriage, but her health failing, she

Jones Opposes Land
For Cordele Mayor

CoRDELE, Oct. 2O.-Mayor Max
E. Land and former Mayor J. Cor
don Jones, have both announced for
the office of mayor in the primary
to be held on November 16. This
makes three announcements for this
office, j. F. Norris having announc-
ed last week.
During the last few days pressure
has been brought to bear on F. l..
Bartholomew, A. F. Churchwell and
K. L. Dekle to make the race, but
all three have refused to enter.
Three members Of council are to
be chosen. Only one announcement
up to the present time has been plac-
ed that of Fred Fem and he pro
tests this, asserting that he can not
afford to stand for the office.

with almost equal bitterness, but up
to now without bloodshed. An actual
poll OF the town shows that man for
man and woman for woman Cox fore
es and Harding forces are about equal
Pretty much the same situation
exists over the entire state. That
party which counts West Virginia
won is crossing bridges before they
are reached.
from the standpoint of the unprej-
udIced observer, victory is not in
slght for either party and will not be
until the last speech has been hurled
from a platform and the last bit of
campaign literature circulated.
Many We're the predictions that wo-
men In West Virginia would not vote.
Those predictions were wrong. Wo-
men In West Virginia will vote, but
thye will have little part in the in
tense organization work that is going
on among the men. With very few
exceptions they will not be represent
ed on committees as are the women
OF other states but will go quietly to
the polls and cast their vote as they
see fit, probably as the women of
Maine did, following the lead of their
male relatives.
There are many reasons why the
election this year in West Virginia
will be one of the most important ev-
er held. There is a feeling among Re-
publicans that they must take the
state now or never and that if it goes
Democratic this year it will never
change but will become a part of
that solid south that is such factor
in the national Democratic vote. There
are mauy elements that will enter
into the final decision.
1t must be admitted that the Re
publicans are fighting somewhat of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-10-20

an uphill fight. There are two can
didates for governor on the Republi-
can side, the split having arisen
through charges of one candidate that
the other was selected by the coal OPP
orators. The state is also the home of
Ambassador Davis and the old stamp
ing ground of Secretary Baker, who is
doing some extremely effective work
by his mere presence. Baker won
many votes for the League of Nations
in Martinsburg alone, and it is prob
able that he will follow up his work
elsewhere.
Besides that there is a woman fac
tor in the person of Mrs. Jewell
Brown, the woman who won national
fame by her speech for Ambassador
Davis at San Francisco. Mrs. Brown
is campaigning actively for the
League of Nations and the Democrat
ic candidates.
Set against all these facts, is the
deep-seated feeling of mauy West
Virginians that entering into the
League of Nations means fighting
abroad.
Many of the miners favor Govern
or Cox because of his record in set
Ting labor disputes, but operators
whose influence is a powerful factor
favor Senator Harding.
Altogether it is about the liveliest
battle that is being waged in the ma
tional campaign.
