he has sprung upon the Republicans

is true Mr.. Helsley's bid is hardly as
high as that Of Mr.. Scott, but consid-
ering the financial standing of the two
gentlemen it must be admitted as being
quite as liberal. Following precedents
established by local pride Mr. Helsley
should have the delegation from his
home township and city. at least al
though it is understood Mr.. Weems will
be conceded the delegate at West
Wheeling precinct without a contest.
The report that Helsley has been
brought out by parties who are luke
warm on Weems is denied.
