SCfl|E|':'R RI
Candidate for Governor Is Making
Very Active Canvass Through
the STAKE.

CHARLESTON. Nov. 2o--while
there have been several authentic re-
ports concerning the withdrawal Of
this or that candidate for governor,
none OF them cpncerned Auditor Ar-
mold c. scherr. who seems to be
gaining ground every day. He de-
rives his strength In this campaign
from the rank and file Of the voters
and his fate is entirely in their
hands.
One thing that has given strength
to Auditor Scherr's candidacy i tue
manly. straightforward, mamie. in
which he defined his position on tho
important questions Of party prin-
ciple. This has appealed strongly
to the voters who look first for hon
esty in any candidate. Mr.. sche rs
platform left no doubt about his at
titnde toward the tax laws, and
when he said that II nominated and
elected governor he would take NO
step backward and would enforce
all the laws on the statute books the
people believed II, for, in all the
years he has been In public life. his
word has never been called into
question.
Auditor Scherr's determination to
allay factional strife is another great
element Of strength in his campaign.
The voters are tired Of the crimina-
tions and recriminations that have
been keeping open the breach that
resulted from the bitter campaign OF
three years ago and agree with
Auditor scherr that the nominee for
governor should lead a united party
against the common enemy.
No stronger statement could be
made than that contained In letters
recently sent out by Auditor scherr
to Republicans in every county In the
State. THE platform of the Repub-
lican party is my platform. |" he states
and its laws are my laws. lam In
full accord with every movement all
ready adopted or to be adopted,
which will promote the welfare II
the people. and II elected will take
no step backward but will endeavor
to give the State a clean. economi-
cal, business-like administration.
with fairness to all and special privi-
leges to none."
That Auditor scherr is in full ac-
cord with his the Republican party
in West Virginia is shown concius-
lively in his utterance. He has not
used catch-phrases to deceive the I'M
wary. but in the manifest possible
way has announced a platform upon
which he will stand. not only through
the campaign but during his term
lof Office
1t is noticeable that Auditor
scherr is not trying to build himself
up by disparaglng any of the other
Candidates. He is going ahead in
such a way that il he Is nominated
there will be no sore spots and it
win be possible for him to realize his.
, ambition Of leading united party
and rolling up majority of 10000
lin the State.

MY dear fellow" said the manager

witty lines in this musical comedy Of

it will never do. 1 couldn't think of

THE scene is laid away up in the
polar regions, and of course it would
look ridiculous if we didn't have the
chorus pretty warmly clothed. It
would never do for girls whose skirts
reach only to their knees and whose
waists were cut very, very low to
