Mr.. Bryan says that "if the Demo.

show that 1t will deserve to win? It
won in 1902 and destroyed the bust

not deserve to win for having done
that and If it should deserve to win
for any reason we do not see how 1t
could again gain the confidence Of the

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

4 IT,
While there is no politics in West
Virginia this year, there will be some
next year and we ought to be thinking
a little bit about it. The fact is we
should be thinking great deal about
It. BY giving 1t attention now when
there is no excitement is much better
than waiting until the campaign is
npon us. We are less liable to make
mistakes at this time than we will
labe when the scramble for office be.
gins. We should be doing something
now because Ran Stalnaker and his
kind are always at work.
While Marion and Monongalia con.
cede the next State Senatorship to
Taylor county, yet the latter must be
urged to furnish the right kind of
man. He must be in sympathy with
the State administration and its poll
cies. He must be Republican and
not an .insurgent.r We want no more
Jake Snyders. George Coles and Stark
Bakers in our State Senate The
hoidovers of that kind are more than
enough-old Marshall, Montgomery,
Hill ct al. AS 1t is it will be seen
that Ran Stalnaker will have some
following or support in that body. He
should be watched and prevented
from having any more.
An eye should be kept on the Thir-
2teenth Senatorial district, consisting
Of the counties of Barbour, Randolph,
Pendleton and Upshur. This is the
district that was long misrepresented
by Stark Baker. Ran Stalnaker
should not be allowed to name his sue.
cessor or figure in any way in his
nomination. While 1t may be said
that We have no right to make sug.
gestions as to what other districts
may do, yet we feel that 1t is our
4 right, because the things we are talk.
ing about concern the Republican par.
ty, and we have in view only the best
interests of that party.
We are anxious about the Twelfth
Senatorial district, consisting Of bod.
bridge, Harrison and Lewis. 1t would
be very unfortunate for the party If
another George Cole should misrep.
resent it. He is an "insurgent" and
was heard in the Senate only when he
was knocking against the State ad,
ministraton. The Republicans of
that district can certainly find a loyal
party man for Senator. and they ought
to know that to be represented by any
other kind is hurtful to their party.
which while strong cannot long carry
the heavy load the last State Senate
was. In the districts named as well
as in nearly all the others the Repub.
licans are numerous enough to make
the right kind of nominations, and II
they do not do so they are inviting de.
feat and will deserve it.
Watch the railroads and other cor.
porations. Their Ran Stalnakers will
be nosing around to see that men they
can use are nominated, and as soon as
their choice be known no efforts
should be spared to defeat them.
Let's not have it said of our next
State Senate that It. is corporation
owned and run by John Cornwell, Ran
Stalnaker and few other Democrats,
or to be palmer, by well known
Democratic lobby.

Belletti's rich voice grew low.
She lived in the neighboring
villa. Her name was Blanca, a
lovely bit of maidenhood, every

Beppi's regarding his career.

soon grew to a quarrel.

friendly relations and limited them

To the Editor of The Star:
In the issue of Thursday Mr.. ]. L. Cowles
asks why the name of Capt. William
Clarke, the associate of Capt. Meriwetber
Lewis in the great exploring expedition to
the Pacific coast, is usually spelled Clark
without the "e." He thinks its adoption
might enable the reader the more readily
to distinguish the explorer from the equally
famous Indian fighter and conqueror of
