WIN. M. o. DAWSON, GOVERNOR.
West Virginia has an executive who
has more backbone than his spare
form would indicate. Somehow OF
other thoushtlessly, or designedly
the members Of the jamestown Com.
mission appointed by the Governor
saw fit to appoint more Democrats
than Republicans 10 places In connec.
ton with the jamestown exposition.
This action was not pleasing to the
Governor, who when interviewed on
his reason for accepting the resigna.
ton Of two members Of the commit.
tee said: .5
"f am governor Of this State, and q
Republican governor. / have appoint.
ed a great many Democrats 10 various
positions and have been criticised fer
so doing by my party friends. | could
not consent that all the persons around
the West Virginia building should be
Democrats. had to insist that my
own party have fair show and lie
represented" l
In this position the Governor was
clearly right and the people will an.
prove his action. The members who
resigned from the commission were
Ex-Governor William A. NiacCorkle and
Hon. Fred N. Staunton. In their
places were named Hon. Virgil A. Lew.
Is and Hon. Newton Ogdin. 1t Is not
that the positions were so important,

that caused the Governor 10 view II In

DAVID SEARS is
FOREMAN OF JURY
Court Makes Appointment and investi-
cations for May Term Are Com
menced This Afternoon.

Judge w. H. Gest this afternoon con-
vened the May term of the circuit court.
and charged the new grand jury, which
at Cnce began its Investigations. The
court appointed David Sears of South
Rock Island as foreman of the jury.
The petit jury reported, and later the
court called the docket, no trial list
having bee INSET for the week. 1t is
probable that the trial of the case of
Julius DeMeyers against the Rock Is
land, in which the jury disagreed last
week, will be held early in this term.
