Hon. Frank Cox is out for place

Judge M. II. Dent, of Grafton, whose

announcement comes as no great
surprise TO many of his Morgantown

The first public announcement Of
his prospective candidacy was made
in the Parkersburg News Sunday,
one of the leading Republican organs
of the state. He was seen by New
DOMINION man this morning, and
asked about it.
Yes be said, 81 am candidate
and expect to get it. In my opinion
it is not an office for which an active
campaign should be made, hut rath-
er one which should be bestowed by
the free vote of the people"

he wants IL before he reaches his de-
cliping years. 1t requires a great
amount Of hard work, and man

There are FIVE Judges and fire con

there is no law requiring it, it has

Miller's success in the fourth dis

Mr.. Cox is beyond question one of
the ablest lawyers in the second dis

recognition from the. Republican par

question. Monongalia has Jared
very badly at the hands OF the party
in conventions and in previous
distribution of spoils, and when the
time comes again for the party to-
nominate in convention, it is hard to
predict results. Mr.. Cox, however,
is confident, and will make firm,
dignilied claim for the nomination.

A WORD FOR DOUBTERS.
J. W. Emerson Says There is Nothing
More sure Than the Coming Of the
Nsbush


J. w. Emerson, a travling agent
for the Wabash Railroad Company,
with headquarters at Chicago, was in
the city today on business for his road,
road, says Fairmont Times While here
he discussed with several citizens
the probability Of the Buckhannon
and Northern road being built. He
had heard here, he said, a great deal
of doubling among business people as
to the actual intention of the Goulds
to build the road. This doubling,
he said, was the most natural thing
in the world, but it amounts to less
than nothing, he says.
Mr. Emerson explained the neces-
sity Of the Buckhannon and Northern
to the Wabash. Said he:
'7The Wabash hauls everything
America produces but coal-and it
pays better to haul coal than most
any other product. The Gould lines
need coal Of their own and they need
it to pull. They have BEEN handi-
capped at all times by the small
amount Of coal routed over their
lines, but when their immense fields
in West Virginia are opened up you
will see coal hauled right out of this
state and delivered at the thousands
of places along sixteen thousand
miles OF track. 1t puts the Gould
lines right in front to stay.
'sThe Gould lines now haul a great
deal Of grain, packed meats and
cattle, in fact they haul everything
that grows or is made or dug in
America between Buffalo, N. Y, and
Great Salt Lake, except coal. When
they get access to the coal fields of
West Virginia you will see them get
busy at rate never attempted and
you'll see their stock go up"
Mr.. Emerson was surprised at the
number of Fairmonters who have not
the least faith in the coming of the
Wabash. He said it was a matter of
self preservation with the Goulds to
get in here. He is here on an esti-
mating trip-seeing what will be the
passenger requirements of this section
of the road, but about his own errani
he declined to talk,
