Mike Tracy For Senator.

To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-There have been some sug-
gestions of candidates for Senator
on the Democratic ticket to oppose
Mr.. Jacob Snyder, but I have in
my minds eye that if the Demo-
cratic conferees would talk him up
and place him in nomination he
would be a sure winner, and the
man is Mr.. M, E. Tracy. He being
once employed in the mills him
self and for some years past was a
delegate to the Ohio Valley Trades
and Labor Assembly.
/ am now and have been dele
gate to the Assembly and have
watched the course of Mr.. Tracy
and / must say that no man in that
body performed his duty with more
zeal, and as an officer of that body
his duties were always performed
with ability, and as a DICTATOR upon
all questions that pertained to Ia
Dor, or matters pertaining to the
public welfare, he was the equal OF
any. / believe that if Mr.. Tracy
was nominated he would be elect.
ed. and if elected the interests oil
the people would be well taken
care of. Give the rank and file 9
chance. LABOR.
We clip the above from the
Wheeling Register which pays Mr.
Tracy high and just compliment
The people in that district could
not find better man for State
Senator than Mr. Tracy. He is {
good Democrat and most and dill
gent worker, at the same time fully
competent to fill the place.

Pomeroy, o. Democrat.
Ike johnson a prosperous farmer
living about eight miles back of
Mason in the hills of West Vir-
ginia, has had the misfortune to
lose fine lamb from his sheep
fold about every night for the past
few weeks.
Across the road from the field
containing his sheep is dense
woods and cliff of rock which might
easily conceal some wild and treach-
erous animal. Mr.. johnson labor
ing under this impression finally
collected the neighboring farmers
with their guns and dogs around
him and started one dark night on
an exploration of the adjoining
woods. In short time after en-.
tering the thicket the dogs started
up something which found refuge
in hollow tree. On cutting the
tree down something black jumped
out killed seven dogs as fast as they
got to it and then escaped.
The farmers Investigated but
were unable to find their game
without dogs 50 departed for thei,
homes very little wiser for theil
trouble. AS it Was very dark they
could not identify the animal but
they think it was a panther.
