Some reminiscent time-long before
opie Reid apostrophized that peculiar
product of a sister state. the Kentucky
Colonel" was revered and honored, not
for a knight Of arms, but the mllder at
tribute of manhood, genuine courtesy.
1t is true that he drank. but he never
made a dlsullery of himself. he i'm
bibed like gentleman. He was not
quarrelsomc; he was gallant. To have
been q Kentucky colonel in those old
fashioned times Of chlvalry was like
unto being a Roman in Caesars day.
He was as fragrant then as the blue
grass that now mods over the graves
Of the victims of his vulgar prototype
to-day. The original Kentucky colonel
has passed away. but he has lniitators.
The Kentucky colonel OF to-day !s in
a class by himself. He has lost the
courtesy OF his forebears and asslml-
lated the contamination Of the times.
Hereafter he must be designated as a
belted cruiser. carrying so many guns.
In certain situations he may be likened
to a torpedo boat. In others he assumes
the terrifying and destructive qualities
Of the battleship. of so many distillery
gallons displacement.

rWo LIVE CANDIDATES
For President Of the State League Of
Republican Clubs.


Hon. ]. W, Vandervort, OF Parkers-
burg, who is prominent candidate for
the presidency of the Republican
League OF Clubs, was born forty years
ago. In Preston county, w. Va. His
father lost his life in his eountry's
cause. and the son was. at an early age.
thrown upon his own resources. HIS
primary education WAS received in the
public schools. and In the summer
months he worked upon the farm, where
by dInt OF much perseverance and
economy he saved enough money to
permit OF his taking q course at his
state university. It was an early ans
billion OF his to become lawyer, and
from the University OF West Virginia
he went to the Law School OF the unt-
verslty OF Virginia, where he at once
took and maintained n high stand In
his class. Going to Parkersburg elgh-
teen years ago, IL began the practice
OF law, and there has been the scene OF
his greatest struggles. He has been
particularly fortunate In the appellate
courts, and to-day enjoys a lucrative
and steadily increasing practice.
In politics, Mr.. Vanderyort has al
ways been a Republican. loyal to the
lTluGAHAoHHbA Alla' fe+Ahat uiu esNtAAN01 80
ways OF Its success BE has been re-
peatedly mentioned In connection with
the attorney generalshlp. but whatever
ambitions he may have had In that de
rection he has subordinated to the good
Of the two candidates for the Guber-
Material nomination. both OF whom re-
side In this congressional district.
Mr.. Vandervort was the presidential
clector for this district In 1896, and was
selected as messenger by the electoral
college to carry the vote to Washing
ton. With this exception he has never
held Office.
It was at business sacrIfice, and only
at the insistence OF many friends
throughout the state that he consented
to enter the contest for the presidency
Of the State League Of Republican
Clubs But now that he has entered
the race, he is making one OF those stir
ring campaigns characteristic of the
man.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, who has
been mlsrcpresentlng that state IN the
United States senate. went nome
the other day to obtain II
.'vIndIcatIon." and addressed a
Chicago audience for the tisst
time since he made himself odlous with
his party by his vindlctively personal
attacks on President Mckinley in con-
nectlon with the Philippine policy OF the
administration. The meeting he ad-
dressed moved the Springfield Republ-
can, the personal organ of AguInaldo in
this country, and one of the most bitter
opponents Of expansion, to exploi. the
occasion as being an endorsement of
MI. Mason's constituents. 1t said:
senator william E. Mason faced
popular audience in Chicago the other
day for the first time since he broke
with the administration on the Philip
pine question. Never In his political
career, say the local reports, had he re-
ceived 80 warm a welcome"

lican League is meeting with very
favorable reception in all parts Of the
state. As Is pretty generally known,
he has had considerable experience In
this line Of work. possesses good ex-
ecutive ability, apd his fitness for the
position Is conceded, Another thing
that commends him is his sincerity and
conslcienticusness. With Mr. Mathews
at the head OF the league, there Is not
a candidate before the people for any
state office but who would feel and
know that the organization would not
be used IN the slightest measure to adj
vance the interest Of any candidate for
any position on the state ticket. The
same could probably be said truthfully

on the contrary. through his mana
ger, Mr.. Campbell. he was invited to
the hall and to a seat upon the stage,
with the assurance that he would be
called upon for u speech as soon as
the preliminary organization was COM
pleted. This had been advertised
throughout the city, and the audience
so understood 1t. After the orgnniza-
ton was perfected Senator Hughes
stepped to he platform. and said:
I'VE are expecting our congressman
here every moment to address US, and
while we are waiting suggest that
Colonel Fitch fill in the time"
The colonel was called out, and spoke
about twenty minutes. At the close Of
his speech, Mr.. Freer still being absent,
the convention proceeded to the regular
business.
For some reason unknown to the au-
dIence. and to Congressman Freers
best friends, he did not appear at any
time during the meeting of the conven-
ton. Had he done so he would un-
doubtedly have, been received with
