an immense crow.' wuiting for the

It was hinV.1 arou.i tl. o batels
today that another fracas took place
between Manager Chance and Cat
cher Kling last night. The nature of
the dispute has not been made pub
lic, but from the appearance of Ar
cher at the receiving end for the

a serious affair. The Cubs for the
first time in the series took the lead

HON. RANKIN WILEY HAS EVI
DENCE THAT THERE WAS
ILLEGAL REGISTRATION
IN THE COUNTY.
—
IS CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY
WILL ADDRESS THE VOTERS AT
BAILEY HALL IN BLUEFIELD
AVENUE TONIGHT.
Hon. Rankin Wiley, Democratic
candidate for Oongrcbg In this dls
•riel, who will adroea the voters at
the E. L. Dailey hall, llluetleld ave
nue, tonight, arrived in the city this
morning from Athens, where he ad
urcseu ino voters yesterday. Mr.l
Wiley has just returned from Raleigh
county. At Hockley in conjunction
with D. 'E. French and Will Chilton
he addressed an enthusiastic gather
ing of voters. He nays that Mr.
French made an exceptionally strong
speech, and It is his firm conviction
that lie will carry the county.
Regarding his own chances of elec
tion. .Mr. Wiley iK very confident. Ills
campaign so far leads him to the con
clusion that there is a general up
rising among the voters against the
Hughes machine throughout the dis
trict. Evidence of several of the
usual brands of Republican treachery,
however, In McDowell county, has
ft ached Mr. Wlie>'B ears. He is reli
ably Informed that In several instan
ces the registrars entered the pay
roll of the coal companies instead of
muking a legal registration. These
employe* were not requested to make
any statement as to residence or
th!r qualification as voters. In view
of all this crookedness, Mr. Wiley
says he not only expects to1 get a good
vote, hut to carry the district.
