Reasons for His Decision.

Hon. John W. Mason, of Fairmont,
while in Grafton looking up some legal

many prominent Graftonites, several OF

when it was possible for him to make
campaign over the state: that he could
not stand the wear and tear of the work
necessary for the position. and that his
business interests had become too num-
erous TO hc neglected even for the gov
ernorship. The genial Judge was firm
in his decision regarding the matter, and
