Judge Gray is unquestionab1y of pres

all is admirably fitted for the position.
Whether the demand for him will be
given an impetus by the Lackawana

Certainly it must have the effect OF
calling closer public attention to him
and setting the democrats to weighing
his availability. The movement for
Judge Gray, in spite of his attitude OF
discouraging the effort, is full of polit-
ical interest as well as possibilities.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The fight between the Zimmerman
and Johnson forces for the control OF
the Ohio convention seems to have re-
suited in complete, if not glorious
victory for the Johnson adherents. BY
virtue of a rule adopted at the last con-
vention the state executive committee
body controlled by Johnson, passed
on the list of delegates, thus designat-
ing whom should have the right to
vote on preliminary organization. II
is impossible to tell which set of the
contesting delegates had the better
right, or whether Johnson or thinner
man were right, to organize con
vention is unwise and suDversive Of
Democratic principles. 1t smacks OF
machine methods. 1t puts power in
the hands Of committee. which prop
erly belongs to the convention.
Since Mr.. Johnson has again captur-
ed the state executive committee he can
likewise control the next convention
by judicial institution of contests
Factionalism is always to be deplored
| for the reason that it is an incentive
to the adoption Of unfair and arbitrary
methods. Unless johnson and his sup
porters adopt more conciliatory meth
DDS than seemed to have prevailed sc
far they will put damper on the en-
| thusiasm of the Zimmerman supporter.
| il they do not entirely ALLEVIATE them
TIT is probable that if Zimmerman hat
had control he would have used it a
did Johnson, but that does not alte
the fact, but rather emphasizes it, tina
factionalism run mad is menacing t
party success.
1t may be that now that johnson
feels himself secure that he will ac
with more temperatures and endeavo
to conciliate the opposing faction. 1
he does not, the last glimmer of the al
ways faint ray of hope of success IL
Ohio will disappear.

GOVERNOR LUKE E. WRIGHT.

The Announcement by the President
that he would appoint Luke e. Wright,
now vice-governor of the Philippines,
to the post made vacant by the eleva
ton Of Governor Taft, is graceful
recognition of eminent public service
and sterling private character During
the period of Governor Taft's disabili-
| ty Mr. Wright discharged the execu-
| tive duties in a most capable manner.
He enjoys the friendship of the Filipi-
| nos in high degree and with his ex-
| perience with the problems presented
in our Eastern possessions his admins
tration should be highly successful.
The president is all. the more to be
congratulated upon his happy selec
| ton for the reason that he thus tran
| cends political and sectional consider
atoms. Luke Wright is Democrat.
| At the age of fourteen he shouldered a
| musket and marched away with the
boys in gray and in that heroic army
none was more heroic than he. AS he
responded then, when youth might
have excused him service of arms, he
has always answered the call of duty.
His life is full of incidents to inspire
an eulogy and those who know him
best esteem him most. AS a public
man he was practically unknown until
President Mckinley appointed him a
member of the Philippine commission.
Having an opportunity he soon became
national character. His splendid
moral and physical courage shown SO
often in private life, shone through his
public acts, and the nation quickly re-
allied that "big man" had entered
the arena. His discriminating Judg-
ment and his tact soon made him con-
spicuous on the commission and it was
considered the most natural thing in
the world that in the event of Governor
Taft's being called to another post
that his successor should be Luke
Wright. The expected has come 10
pass but that does not in the least de-
tract from the gracefulness OF the pres
ident's act in comforting so great an
honor on a Democrat and a Confeder-
ate veteran. Governor Wright's ad-
ministration of the Philippines, 1t may
be safely predicted, will be OF charae
ter to incite the pride of his fellow
countrymen No man is more patri-
otto, none more devoted to principle,
and few so able as he. These qualities
will illumine his administration.

PASSENGER TRAIN IN COLLISION

A fearful wreck occurred on Septem-
Der l on the Norfolk and Western rail-
way one half mile north of Phospho,
station nine miles south of Martins
vile. which resulted in the instant
death of Engineer S. Fl. w. Lucas and
Fireman Stafford
The wreck was caused by the part
ing of the cars of through freight
train that was some distance ahead of
southbound passenger train No. Fl and
the freight cars of same running back
and colliding with the engine of train
No 81 which resulted in the casualties
as stated, and the destruction Of the
freight care and severely crippuing the
engine of the passenger train. Fortu-
nately none of the passengers were in
jured. Mr.. Lucas was buried at Bris-
toll and Stafford at Winston Salem, N.
C. A peculiar coincidence in the death
of Mr. Lucas is the fact that he lost
his life within two mile of the place
where a train of the Norfolk and Yves
tern railway ran over the little Bur
chell children last spring and killed
them, Nh Lucas being in charge of
the engine of the train that ran over
the children.

GIANT LABOR UNION PLANNED.

According to Frank Buchanan, nresi-
dent of the International Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, it is planned
to amalgamate the six powerful struc-
tural trades into a mighty national
building trades council of 100000 work
men and absorption by these six of the
smaller building trades, such as granite
cutters, marble polishers, stone cutters,
etc.
Mr.. Buchanan says one meeting to
further this object has been held and
another will be held at indianapolis or
October to perfect the organization.
This meeting will be attended by ma
tional officers representing the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, the Bricklayers and Masons In
ternational Union, the United Associa.
ton of Plumbers, Gasitters, Steamfit-
tiers, and Steamfitters' Helpers, the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators,
and Paperhangers, and the Building
Trades Laborers' international Union.
At the root Of the proposed organi-
cation is decision of its promoters
to in a great measure abolish strikes.
The new organization will not only
not indorse a strike of any of it's mem
bers that does not meet with general
approval, but will refuse to permit the
strike.

Mrs. Matties Lou Swami and children
were on a short visit to Mrs. Dawson.

to reach an umbrella, knocked down a
gun in the corner of the room. The
Gun, in falling, must have struck the
corner of the marble slab on the wash
stand, causing it to fire.
