REOPEN THE TRADERS.

Attempts to prejudice the public

ers National Bank, whose doors are ten
porarily closed, show to what depths 81

how unprincipled they are. There arc
some who are always glad TO take ad
vantage of the misfortune Of others 10

though they have TO stoop so low as TO

that does not want the Traders to reopen
simply because they think it is per.
sonal advantage to them. Little ,thcy
care for the community. Little they
care about one of the most important
and popular institutions of the city.
But it is real qualification To know
that the business men in general, in.

much the interests of the bank they care
for in this particular as it is for the
good OF the community. All liberal aud
fair-minded business men recognize the
fact that the reopening of the baul
would be far better for the commercial
interests of this section than if it were
70 20 out of existence. That alone i.
sufficient reason why they should hold
such a desire. Again, there are hut few
men who are SO designing as to wish tho
numerous depositors of that bank to lcsc
their deposits or any part of them, nor
IS there any desire that the stockholders
should lose. Either event would be det
rimental to the financial credit of Clarks
burg and bring not only hardship to
those Immediately concerned but to the
entire community as well.
Under such conditions and circum.

In this connection the Telegram feel,
that it must reiterate the general desire

than his own state. His course in Con
gross has been conservative, although he
mas ever been an active eonstructionist
This attribute, however, has not been
confined to his public life alone, but also
characterizes his. business life. He has
done more constructive work for West
Virginia than any other man living in it
to-day. He has promoted its wonderful
Development and Is identified with many
OF its present industrial and commercial
features. IT can be said of him that
nothing undertaken by him in the bust
ness line in this state has ever failed
but to the contrary he pushed It forward
with that strength of his character that
has placed him at the top of the roll OF
statesmen and successful business men.
The influence he commands among the
statesmen and the administration makes
him strong candidate for the place sue
gested. The wide acquaintanceship and
business association he enjoys both east
and west of his state IS very much in
his favor. He is strong enough to in.
fuence all the adjoining states and to
get the support of both the East and
the West.
Besides, he is that sort of man that
sacrifices those classes to whom Roose.

a ticket nominated the support Of all
