THE GOVERNORSHIP.
A Charlotte Correspondent Urges the
Support Of Gen. Mccullough.

To the Editor of The Free Press:
Bennington county needs no apology for
presenting a candidate for governor. She
has been patiently waiting for years. Four
years ago General Mccullough withdrew
rather than precipitate a contest. when he
had an even chance of winning II was
generally conceded that after the noun
tam rule had been duly recognized, Cen
eral Mccullough would again be in the
field from the west side Several months
ago, when the governor question com
menced to be agitated, +. ID. Proctor and
DR.. Webb were mentioned in connection
with General Mccullough. 1t was stated
by Mr. Proctors friends that he was not a
candidate, and the public had no reason to
suppose, until a very recent date that he
had changed his mind In this respect. OF
course there was drawing OF lines be-
tween the two avowed candidates and very
many in this vicinity decided to support
General Mccullough. Our support will
largely remain unchanged and many who
were Webb men will so to General Nc
Cullough.
If Mr.. Proctor had announced himself as
a candidate at the outset there might have
been different lining ult-no one can tell
Only with as able and worthy a candidate
as Bennington county now presents in the
person of General Mccullough, the en-
trance OF +. d. Proctor as a new candidate
seems untmely and absolutely uncaled
for. If General McCullough's candidacy
presented objectionable features-it he was
other than first class man in every sense,
morally, mentally, financially there might
be some excuse for a change of front. II
he Is ever to be thus honorod by the State
that he has three times represented in ma
tional conventions and over whose Sem
ate he has presided as president pro tenn,
1t must come now. There is an eternal
fitness of things that somehow appeals to
human nature. Mr.. Proctor is a young man
and can afford TO wait Most of us supposed
he was perfectly content to do SO. Consid-
eiing what the State has done for him and
his-honoring itself while honoring him
would it not have been the part of wisdom
to have done so?
If the signs are correctly read. General
MCCullough's friends are not only rallying
around his standard with fresher cnthuSi-
asm but their numbers are rapidly in
creasing. There was a time when ' err
moDters listened with bated breath for
sounds from Bennington-her battlefield
saved the nation-so our fathers have told
us. There may be little romance in poll
tcs--but sentiment should never be elmi-
mated from the hearts Of the people. The
old battered county presents US an ideal
candidate why not nominate him?

SITUATION IN BENNINGTON COUNTY
To the Editor of The Free Press:

The withdrawal of DR. Webb, was re-
ceived with great surprise by his many
supporters at this place. 1t is hard to tel
at this time who the town will favor. but

Gen Mccullough has always had many
supporters. and many former Webb M n

candidate from Bennington county.

be less keen as Gen. Mccullough win ION

Prof. Moore Meets Ills Class.

The Teachers College of Howard

evening at the home Ofthe Dean, Prof.
L B. Moore last Thursday.
The Deans efficiency as practical and
inspiring teacher is, in tFe opinion of
his pupils. surpaSs d only by his
cOrdiality and personal friendship for
each; his power as Genial host.
An interesting incident Of the assem-
bly, was he presentation of a gold
watch 10 Prof. Moore, other appropri
ate tokens were given Miss B. Cook,
Miss c. Moore and Prof. Kelley Miller.
In few well chosen words, Miss
Jordan, in bs half of the classes, sue
ceeded in conveying to them some
hint of their we'll directed activity in
providing such an excellent course in
psychology, philosophy, educational
philosophy, english literature, and ge
ography, besides securing the most eff
fiCient services of such distinguished
educational CO partners as Prof, ssOrs
Chickering, Mayo, Kiemn, and Cra-
ven Miss Jordan's eloquence left moth
ing to be desired, il could only sug-
gest very small degree of apprecIa-
tiOn of the class.
Members of the faculty of Howard
were present. A delie htful musical
and literary program was rendered

FAMOUS IN ENGLAND.
Father DOlling Who breaches Amid
Glitter and SplendOr.
Tet He Lives and Works in the Midst
of the Utmost SquaIOr and Most
Grinding Poverty In the
City of London.

1t is rather hard tn say for what Rev,
Father Dolling, of London, who cele.
brated his tifty-first birthday the other
day, is most famous. Proba IDLY it is
not as an orator, although he is admit
tedly one of the best speakers in the
church of England. or for his actual
accomplishments. although few men
in Great Britain have made more
striking success of their life work, but
on account of the two seemingly con-
Trajectory elements in his makeup
that are the strongest-his insistence
OF glitter, richness and splendor IN all
matters connected with worship and
his preference to live and work in the
midst of the utmost squalOr and the
most grinding poverty To be found in
London.
His church down in grimy Poplar ia
like palace inside, and its altar blazes
with crosses and candles and golden
utensils and is decorated with rare
flowers, but for years the father him.
self slept every night IA room in a
tenement-hOuse separated only by a
rotten partition from another larger
one, which he had fitted up with ham
mocks as shelter for men and boys
too poor TO pay for a nights lodgings.
He is one of the most uncOmpromis-
ing ritualists in England, but when he
called on the bishop of Winchester TO
ask for his first 'living" he had to pawn
his watch TO pay his railroad fare He
dresses in cassock and berretta and
receives confessions like any Roman
Catholic priest, but he is not the least
enthusiastic participant in the nightly
football games that he organizes for
the deleetation of the boys in his parish
and in the rules of which his assistants
instruct them.
Before Father Dolling came to LOn-
don 10 begin his good work among the
