which in many cases run to weird

With these colors and textures are cho-

WARD b. LINDSAY Y,
election.

The voters of Berkeley County. at
the coming election, will have an OPP
portunity of casting their ballots for a
candidate who is worthy of the sup
port and encouragement of ALL The
candidate in question is Ward Lind
say, the Republican candidate for pros
ecuting attorney to fill the unexpired
term of his late partner, Hon. U. S.
Grant Pitzer.
Ward LINDSAY was born in this city
August Bird 1876, is the oldest of fam
| lily of six children. When he was but
two years of age. his father, John J.
Lindsay. who was at that time and
for MANY wears atferward, an employe
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, met with an accident
which lost him both his limbs. The
family. being quite poor, and having
been entirely dependent upon the earn
ings of the husband soon fonud them
selves surrounded by all the misery
of extreme poverty, and the hardships
which attend that condition of circum-
stances have been experienced by
Ward Lindsay ever since.
At the age of six years the subject
of our sketch entered the fifth ward
school and began his education under
the instruction of Miss Ada Rodrick.
He pursued his studies through the
fifth ward school and Immediately en-
tered the City High School. While
attending the latter he sold newspa-
pers and mis- meager earnings went to-
ward the support of those at home.
However, at the end of his second
year in the High School, being but
fourteen wears of age. young Lindsay
was forced TO abandon his studies and
seek employment that the demands
and necessities at home might be met.
He began work in The Evening World
office, afterwards working for Mr.. a.
Kogelschatz, the Statesman, and final
" returning to The Evening World.
where he served two years on the re-
portorial staff. In the meantime the
legal profession had attracted him and

President Rooseyelt's ability and
courage as the chief execution of the
nation has not only commanded him
tOthe confidence of the people, but not
less does it demand of the people that
they do not stand him il the way of
hi noble and manly efforts III their be
half by change in the political COM
plexion of the legislative body. In
the matter of tariff and trusts he can
be safely and sarely relied on TO right
the wrongs OF the people. But to do
this he will need the hearty support
of the legislative body. 1t needs to
remain Republican as it now is, There
is scarcely the possibility that change
will be brought about at the approach
INK election. but should the Democrats
get control. then will his hands be
tied. and whatever of good intention
he may have, he will be able to accom-
plish nothing in the wav of reform.
Ii is not hard. therefore, TO see the
necessity of returning every true and
loyal Republican Congressman, In
this only is there hope that every un-
just discrimination will be given its
death blow. Stay by your Congressman
and you STAY by your President

in this he WAS encouraged by one who
afterwards proved his greatest friend
and finally became his law partner,
Hon. u. S. Grant Pitzer. But to pro.
vi lie for his folks at home VIII lie he
worked with Blackstone and other lega
branches. with no salary or income
at hand, was the obstacle which con.
fronted Ward Lindsay in his desires
to enter the profession of the law. By
a succession of Jealous efforts on his
part. which will not be detailed here,
and aided materially by his friend,
Grant. the obstacle was to certain
extent overcome, and on the first day
of February, 1897, he entered Mr.. Pit.
zer's office to begin the study of the
law. Here he remained for eighteen
months and then entered the Univer-
sity of West Virginia, beginning with
the summer course and reviewing the
studies of the junior year which he
had pursued in Mr.. Pitzer's office.
Before the close of this summer term
he stood an examination for advanced
standing, passed. and at the beginning
the ensuing regular school year was
placed in the senior grade. graduating
with the class at the end of that school
year
Young LINDSAY retU ued from the
University to find his iamily practical
ly IN financial distress, while he was
burdened with considerable indebt-
edness incurred in obtaining his legal
education He Immediately set to WORK
to relieve this condition of affairs, be-
ginning the practice Of law with his
friend Pitzer, and his efforts have met
with considerable success.
In January, 1901. Mr. Lindsay was
appointed assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney by Judge Faulkner, upon request
of the Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Pit
ger, and at tile date Of the latter S
death was performing the duties of the
Prosecuting Attorney He is now a
candidate to fill the unexpired term of
his late partner, and it remains for the
voters of this county to give him the
encouragement he so richly deserves. 4

The Democrats by constant reitera-
ton. are attempting to make the peo-
pie believe that the Republican party
would never revise the tariff. That
statement is not only misleading, but
it is extremely foolish. President
Roosevelt stated the case accurately
in a recent speech. when he declared
that certain portions of the tariff
should be revised. but that it was es-
sential to safety that it be done by its
friends and not its enemies.

Time-Neyer Able TO GIVE Amy Clue
Mrs. Ida Gilbert Dennis, the victim
of mysterious assault which has
baffled the efforts of some of the best
detectives since the 10th of December
Tast, died in the hospital at Washington
Wednesday morning. at 4 O'Clock from
the result of the terrible injuries she
received on that date.
Revenge is believed to have been the
motive of the assault, as a large sum
of money and jewelry in her apart
ments were undisturbed.
A piano stool was used to beat the
woman unconscious and almost unrec-
ognizable. The woman never fully re-
gained consciousness and was unable
to lend or throw any light on the
search for her assailant.
