The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-08-18

The Gazette has long been an adj
mirer Of Judge Nathan Con, and It,
therefore, takes great pleasure in Sc.
Ing the first to spring his Presidential
candidacy upon the public. arhereAis
nc reason why Goff shonld not aspirs
to the Presidency. II 1t is in the line
of his desires. His party has not for
number of years nominated an
ADLER. more accomplished man, nor
one who is more popular where known.
II he succeeds in getting the nomina-
ton, Which seems a reasonable prop
osition, he will carry with him into the
fight the good wishes Of a host Of
West Virginia Democrats, not one of
whom will vote for him at the polls.
But before the convention we will all
be with him, and for him.-Charles-
ton Gazette.
II Judge Con should happen to be
before the people for any office he
could count on the support of hosts
of West Virginia Democrats. Many
of them have supported him in the
rast, and therefore he would natural
ly expect them to rally around him II
he should again be candidate for
Office. Democrats voted for him all
over the State In 1888, when he was
candidate for governor, causing him
to lead his ticket very handsomely,
and he carried the First district for
Congress three times, and 1t was
Democratic before and after he did
so. Judge. Goff may never be can
didate for any office agail, but If he
should be 1t is easy to believe that he
would receive substantial support
from This friends, the enemy" The
Gazette may not know 1t, but many
people do. that 1t was hard to prevent
more than one Democratic legislator
from voting to seat Judge Con- as the
lawful and rightful governor of his
State. That the popular jurist is a
candidate for the Presidency or. will
be is matter not worth considering.
West Virginia Is too small State to
figure in Presidential contest. Pres
idential nominations go to the States
with large electoral votes. or to States
that are looked upon as pivotal. West
Virginia is not In either class. Judge
Con can go to the United States Sen.
ate II he SO desire, but the Presiden.
cy. as we look at 1t, is beyond his
reach or that Of any other West vir.
sinian. We would be glad to see the
Judge candidate for the Presidency,
for like the Gazette we admire him,
but aside from that we would be
pleased to have him before the PEG.
pie again SO that his many Democrat.
lie admirers could have another Cd.
portunity to support him. We know
there are not fe wwho would rathe-
vote for him than for any man within
their own party ranks.

Residents Complain.
Complaints have been made from
the residents near the camp grounds
about theisoldlers trespasslng on their
property and purloining fruit and veg.
etables. Some of them have gone so
far as to threaten to use shot guns
to protect their property. Officers
have been informed of the depreda.

done all they can to stop them, and
upon the conviction of any of them
will see that n severe sentence Is the
consequence.
1t is generally appreciated that there
would naturally be few bad actors
In such an aggregation of men as is
at the camp. and It is a surprising
fact that more depredations have not
been committed.

CHICAGO. July 1.-Scores of Eastern
United States Senators and Represent
tatives will be obliged to go into their
pockets and pay full fares for their
summer vacation trip this season.
Although the name of the road was
not disclosed 1t was said here in railroad
circles that the president of one of the
big Eastern systems had given instruc-
lions that no free transportation should
be given to those national legislators
who were in favor of the Esch-Town-
send bill in Congress.
In answer to every application for
transportation by those who showed
hostility to what the railroads wanted
there is sent stereotyped letter call
ing attention to the fact that for years
the railroads have submitted to a sys-
tenn of petty bIackmail levied by ma
tional and State legislators and that
the matter was allowed to go on the
theory that when the roads were in
danger of being hedged about by Con-
gressional enactments the officials of
the lines would need only to hoist the
distress signal and free pass friends
would flock to the rescue.
On the contrary, says the letter those
who had received favors turned their
backs on the railroads when the Esch-
Townsend bill came up for considera-
