New York, Sept. 3. After hearing
the arguments in behalf of the rival
Republican gubernatorial tickets in
West Virginia, for more than three
hours today, a sub-committee of the
Republican National Committee an
nounced thr.t a decision would be ren
dered as to which the National Com

day. Meantime the case will be sub
mitted to National Chairman Frank
JI. Hitchcock.
The sub-committee consists of Com
mitteemen Dupont. of Delaware;
Brooker, of Connecticut, and Ward, of
New York. '
The nominee of the Lincoln Re
publican part', S. C. Kherr, appeared
before the committee and was repre

Frazicr and Frank Reynolds. George

were also present. SheTman Durham
and C. W. Dillon appeared before the
committee in the .interests of Charles
W. Swisher, the Republican guberna
torial nominee.
Mr. Grant, chairman of the Lincoln
Republican party committee, said be
fore the, hearing: . :
Ve do not appear before the sub
committee on the question of regular
itv. We dimply ask tlfat the sub-corn
mittee direct that -thei Swisher people
permit the names of the Republican
electors and Congressional candidates
of the regular. Republican ticket to
be placed on the Sherr ticket. This the
Swisher people have declined to do.
and if they are not prevented West
Virginia will go Democratic. Mr
Sherr and his supporters are all Re
publicans, but are tired of bossism
and the way the regular convention
was conducted by thb State Commit
tee. -
"We will submit to-the sub-commit
tee several propositions, by which
both gubernatorial tickets of the Re
publicans will withdraw, a new State
Committee b chosen and a ; new
oiate ticket nominated. One f these
propositions will be the withdrawn
of both the Swisher and Sherr tickets
and submitting the nomination of
new ticket to-the people at a primary
to be held within two weeks. Failing
in any of these propositions we wf'l
ask the sub-committee, to request the
National Committee to direct that the
names of the Republican electors and
Congressional candidates be placed on
both' tickets and suggest some way of
reorganizing the State Committee.

G. A. R. ELECTS OFFICERS
litlcal temperancea question has pass- Co!. HenrY W. ffeviUS, Of NeW
ed through various stages. It waa at
one time supposed that license or tax
ation would furnish a real solution.
We have not come after a century of
time to understand that whatever 11
cense may be as a revenue measure
it is totally useless as a temperance
measure.The dispensary system has
been tried to some extent and is a
failure because It Is practlcaly an
adoption of the license plan, at least
as It has been used in this country.
"We are thus shut up to one meth
od of dealing with the question and
that is the method of prohibition, but
the 'more serious problem arises,
"shall prohibition be accomplished by
means of a political party or shall It
e left to some non-partisan organiza
tion or effort?' We Insist that the
partisan method Is the only . true
method under existing circumstances.
It Is useless to talk non-partisan effort
on a large scale ror tne simple rea
on that two bodies cannot occupy
the same space at the same time and
two organizations cannot - work sue
cessfully with the same situations.
when their methods are contradictory
A good republican Is a man who votes
he ticket -straight and can only ' be
Induced In the most extreme emergen
ces to vary from that plan. The good
Anti-Saloon League man on the con-
rary. is a man who at a moment's
notice will change his suffrage t from
the one party to another. Thus the
principles of independent, voting, are
contradictory to party . organization.
nd If all of the old voters became in
dependent voters, the party would be
practically dissolved..
; "It Is assumed by all politicians ; to
day that parties are,, necessary.; If ubo,
why? If they must exist in order to
olve the minor political questions,
why not solve the great political ques
tion In the same way, and certainly
no one can doubt that the question of
ntoxicating liquors witlu its vast ex
penditure of money and loss of life
and disarrangement of business and
corruption of politics. Is a greater
question than any other question now
n tne -political neid.
"Another obstacle In the way of
the non-partisan plan Is that so long
aa the present conditions with the
temperance voters simply divided be
tween the two. one-half or even two
thirds of the temperance men In our
country are not sufficient to success
fully., solve the question. Let us as
sume that In each of the larger poli
tical parties sixty per cent are in
avor of prohibition. What can the
sixty do when opposed by the other
forty? They know that any - adverse
legislation on the liquor question will
instantly alienate a large share of
those forty per cent and there will be
no compensation for them by any
marked stampede from the other
party. This explains the ariomalv
which we find everywhere that the
people are not getting what they
want on the temperance question."
