STUCK MAY BE
ATTORNEY GENERAL
West Union Lawyer ard Politician is
After the Republican Nomination for
That Place.

State Journal: ]. w. Stuck, of West
Union was in the city Wednesday on
business, Speaking of the political sit.
uation in Doddridge county NE said the
people there are ready to give their old.
time Republican majority for any can.
,didates that the party chooses to nonli-
nate.
Doddridge county is a great place for
laiclers, hut the kicking always stops
there when the nominations are made.
A State Journal reported asked Mr..
Stuck if it were true that he was
candidate for attorney general. He re-
piled frankly tliat he had given ,the mat,
ter some Thought at the suggestion OF
some Of his friends, who had urged him
10 run for that office, but had not reach
ed any conclusion. IT is not improbable
however, that he will make this race
lie would make a good officer, as wei!
as popular candidate. One thing that
can be said to his credit now is that he is
an excellent politician, lie craps the
meaning Of a complex situation as quick
ly as any man in the State, and he Al,
ways knows Just where mis- work will he
Tie most elective. He has done excel.
lent service for the party in many cam
paigns and would seem to be entitled IT,
such recognition Al he may desire. Be,
sides that ne is good lawyer and a
man Of tried integrity. Really, takins
MI things into consideration, Mr., Stuck
would make a frst-class candidate fer
the office, and a frst-class officer when
elected.
