Pendleton Contested Seat Sparks House Battle in West Virginia
In a West Virginia House contest, Democrat John O. Pendleton faces unseating by Republican challenger Atkinson. The elections committee favors ousting Pendleton, while a minority committee argues he was duly elected. Pendleton’s conduct and ties to Speaker Reed stir intra party conflict as watchdogs expect a drawn-out fight over the seat and related patronage moves. Separate notices report postmaster and census supervisor appointments, including Dudley at Americus and changes in district supervisors.
