4 Winner Nominated by the Elkins
Convention.

The nomination of Hon. John L.
MeGraw, by the Elkins Conven-
ton, yesterday, was result not only
anticipated but devoutly wished for
by the voters of the Second District.
1t is an exceedingly fortuitous
political condition for any party
when the candidate of their choice
is SO universally recognized and
agreed upon in advance that the
convention has nothing to do but
assemble and formally ratify the
choice of the people
This was emphatically the situa-
ton in the nomination of Mr.. Nc
Graw. The delegates needed no in
structions. They went to the CON
vention with the silent but deliber-
ate and all controlling purpose to
make McGraw their candidate and
they did it with unanimity that
would brook no opposition or defeat.
Mr.. MeGraw has not sought the
nomination but it has sought him,
and from one end of the district to
the other it is alreadp ratified and
accepted with a satisfaction and en-
thusiasm that will unite and rail- Y
the Democracy to the greatest fight
the district has ever seen.
John L. McGraw is not only an
ideal candidate but he will put up
an ideal fight. He is one of the best
equipped menIn the state for con
gress, and his equal as political
organizer and manager of cam
paign is not to be found in many
states
Nothing that we could say by way
Of endorsement of Mr.. McGraw or
the action Of the convention could
add to the complete satisfaction
which every Democrat feels over the
situation The district is virtually
restored to Democracy. Mr. Day
ton will surely be retired to the
quietude and rest he SO much needs,
and Mr.. McGraw will enter upon a
political career which we venture to
predict will honor the state he rep
resents.

Cramer Reinstated.

The many friends here of G. w.
Cramer, of Piedmont, will learn with
pleasure that the stigma placed up
on impulsive Billie Cramer has
been removed. Several months ago
when he held the honored position
of First Lieutenant in the LIST Regi-
ment West Virginia Volunteers,
charges since proven to have been
false, were placed against his name
After a hurried investigation he
was discharged At once he en-
listed as private in the regular
army and has done good work at
Santiago. When the 2nd regiment
was organized an effort was made
to have Cramer reinstated A dis
patch from Charleston says Cover
nor Atkinson has signed his com
mission as a First Lieutenant.
The War Department has granted
him an honorable discharge and he
will return to his native state at
once, to leave it when his country
calls him.
