REDS BOOM is GROOMING
RAPIDLY FOR STATE OFFICE
Editor Longh Of the west virginian
Strongly Advocates Sen. Reed's
Nomination by the Party
FOR SECRETARY OF STATE
Paying Him Some High CompIi-
naents, Which Are Deserved by
Harrison County's Candidate.

Editor NJ. c. Lough emphasizes
the popularity OF Stuart f.
Reeds boom for State once in the
following strong editorial in the
Fairmont West virginian:
''Most people find 1t diaicnlt
enough to get enthusiastic support
for one place on a State ticket, but
Stuart F. Reed. of CIarksburg, has
the extreme good fortune of having
friends boosting him strongly for
two. OF course. that statement
needs some explanation which
very good friend of Senator Reed
has asked us to make. As Is well
known for some time Harrison coun-
ty has been trimming its sails for
place on the State ticket and the
political workers are unanimously In
favor OF Mr.. Reed as their represen-
tative. Not desirous OF being too
strong in their requests, the position
OF State treasurer was selected, but
some of Mr.. Reeds very good friends
are insisting that the office of Secre-
tary Of State is most in accord with
his superior qualifications and that
he must ask for that place. While
we do not know Senator Reeds pref
erences in the matter, we do know
that he would I'LL either place to the
entire satisfaction of the people.
Senator Reed is a man of far more
than ordinary ability and worth.
Born and brought up on a farm, he
knows and loves the ways of the
country people. but not content with
the meager advantages OF aa isolat-
ed life, while yet very young ne
came to the Fairmont Normal School
where he graduated with high hon-
ors. Not yet satisfied. he went
ahead to the University and after
finishing the course there he began
the active duties of life as editor of
the Clarksburg Telegram. He has
had remarkable success aud made
many friends In the last ffteen or
twenty years. Being man OF good
address and an attraetiee speaker he
would be Of value to the party dur
ing a camapign and his loyalty and
devotion to the cause of Republican
ism would make him 9 State House
oficial of whom all could be proud.
With Harrison county behind so good
man as Senator Reed we are of
the opinion that whether Is be the
treasurership or the position of SEQ
retary OF state they seek. whoever
wins over such combination will
have reason to congratulate himself
most heartily. a&s.
''P. Sit isn't often postscript
is added to an editorial. but we fhd
it necessary today. In conversation
with prominent Republican rela-
tive to the candidacy of nGr. Reed,
after the above editorial was in type.
he suggested that Mr.. Reed ought
to be a candidate for Governor In
stead of either of the places men
toned and that he would be for him.
So there is something else for Mr..
Reed and his Harrison county friends
to think about"

Charles Baumgardner, night officer on
the local police force. He is accused
of firing a fatal shot into the body of
Frank Finley on the night of July 4,
from the effect of which the young
r.a died a week later of blood pois-
oning. At the time common rumor
had it that the officer shot only to de-
fend his life. against a murderous at
tack. but it aDpears that a sitting of
the evidence OF the case at the preliOl-
mary hearing disclosed another side.
AT least the grand jurors thought the
evidence presented before them was of
such a nature as to warrant them in
returning a true bill. Finley was
shot h the body, the ball passing
thru the silk handkerchief which he
had in the breast pocket of his coat.
When an operation was performed for
the remova of the bullet a piece of the
handkerchief was found in the wound.
Its presence there had set up an in
lection of the wound. which later
caused blood poisoning and lockiaw.
