BY CLYDE II. EAST:

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June 20.
TO serve two GERMS in the Legfs-
latiye answering a total of 1913
roll calls without being recorded
as absent and not voting, is the
unique record of j. Alfred Taylor,
the Democratic member from Fay
cite County. who has twice been
elected as the representative OF his
people in the House of Delegates.
During the first session in which
he served in 1917, the roll was
called 43S times. In the recent ses-
|, sion, due possibly to the passage
of so many increased salary bills,
the roll was called 635 times and
every time it was called, Mr.. Tay-
lor voted tits hardly possible that
this record has ever been equaled
by any other member.
Mr.. Taylor has the added disttnc-
ton of having voted no more
times during the recent session than
any other member, having voted
against all salary creases. He is
now candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress in the
sixth district and his friends claim
that if he is sent to Washington
that he will duplicate his House of
Delegates record in the House of
Representatives.
