ESTABUSHED APRIL 8' 1906 B.UEF1ELD. W. V,\„ MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1910 PRICE TWO CENTS
TO CONTEST
ELECTION
Hon. G. H. C. Wiles for the
Legislature and Coun
ty Officers Have
Filed Notices
JUDGE SANDERS
HAS BEEN RETAINED
Irregularities and All Man
ner of Fraud is Charged
by the Democrats
Hon. George K. (’. Wiles of William
son, thp defeated Democratic candi
date on the face of the returns for
the house of representatives in Min
go county was In the city la3t night,
and ho gave It out that he has served J
notice of contest on the Republican,
county commits e and will proceed to
take evidence in the form of deposi
tions at an e.^rly date as the statute ;
provides. This evidence will be pre
sented to the legislature when it
meets. In addition to this, the Dem
ocratic candidate for the commission
er of the county court, the county
superintendent of schools, and sever
al district officers have also filed no- J
flees of contest. These notices will i
be docketed In the county court and
will be heard initially before this
body.
Judge Joseph M. .Sanders of Ulue
field has been letained to repreBont \
Mr. Wiles, and lie will also represent \
the rout of the contestants.
The notice of contest Is a volumi j
nous document covering thirty-flvoI
typewritten pages. The main grounds j
for contest as stated is that the elee- !
tion was illegal, irregular and there- 1
fore null and void by reason of fraud,
trickery and corruption and irregu
larities In tho organization and con- .
duet thereof. Mr. Wiles alleges that i
he was duly and regularly elected,
having received a majority of all the
votes legally cast, and is therefore J
entitled to a certificate of election.
He will, therefore, resist and contest I
the right of his Republican opponent
Weils Goodykonntz to hold the office
in question, and will demand that the
votes alleged to have been Illegally
caHt be excluded from the results of
tho election.
Mr. Wiles sajs that he is primed
with evidence ns to the illegal nnri
fraudulent voting in the county, and
he is prepared to show that he wa*
legally circled. He arys that going
to tho legislature outs hut small fig
ure with him, but that it is up to the
people of Mingo to show that the
Republican gang, the machine gang
in other words, cannot go over them
roughshod for all time. He charges
fraud and criminal irregularities, and
he says he Is prepared t-» establish his
Charges, olse ho would not Wave
made them.
It promises to be an interestirtg
fight, and doubtless will result in the
purification of Mingo politics.
IMMIGRANTS TO
SOUTHERN STATES
Washington, Dec. Following the
turning over of its report to Congress
today, the National Immigration Com
mlsslon went out of existence. The
report of the commiBsion covers the

country, and recommends, among oth
er things, that thp flood of new citi
zens ho turned from New Yoi k and
other congested centers to flic south
ern nnd gulf j*>rts, where agricultural
labor Is urgently needed.
The commission v^as appointed
three years ago Jointly by President
Roosevelt, the president of the Senate
and the speaker of the Mouse. The
executive committee was composed of
.Senator l-odgp of .Massachusetts, Hen
«tor Dillingham of Vermont, Congress

CITIES Will HE
A WARM FISIIT
• _ _
Washington, Dec. 5. Whether San
Francisco pr New Orleans shall he
recognized by Congress as the i !nrc
to hold n Panama Exposition in 191 f.
is a subject which has early been
brought to the attention of the nation
al lawmakers. Both cities arc rep
resented here on the opening d ;y of
the session by determined and elo
c|uont citidens who will leave no word
unsaid ttint might lend to imeccEs In
tbolr endeavor. For days the cong
ressmen have been beseigod by the
forces of the rival cities and have had
to listen to Interminable arguments,
facts, figures and statistics as to why
New Orleans is immeasurably super
ior to San Francisco ns an exposition
city, or vice versa. Gov. Saunderr, of
I-ools'ana. heads the New Orlp-ns f<.r
ces, and. l:i addition to his labors with
the congressmen, l as been -pending
much time in various largo cities urg
ing the claims of the Crement C’lty.
Within a few days the warfare is like
ly to reach a fever heat, and only the
fact that New Orleans and San Fran
Cisco are widely separate! probably
prevent kh civil war between the peo
ple of the two cities.
