Service Commissioner McIlhcny, w:.o

entering upon what he terms a cam.
raign of education In the South in
regard TO tho function and charac.

idea that service is meant especially

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-09-17
Davis is Weak.

Sometimes the Telegram wonders
If the Wheeling IntellIgencer has
lost all,the political sense it ever did
nave. Many of It's utterances dis
play a lack of that old time politi-
cal astuteuess, and even its reason
ing powers have become deranged,
If some things 1t says with evident
purpose to attach significance to the
same are to be taken in judging it's
mentality.
It's latest hallucination is that
Henry G. Davis would be strong
candidate for governor. 1t makes
this statement upon the heels of
Davis's denunciation of Organism
and an arraignment by Davis Of the
new tax laws in his Wheeling speech,
when he sided with the railroads and
seriously objected to the fair treat
ment the State has undertaken to
give the railroads by making them
pay only just share of the taxes.
In the next breath after making it
appear that Davis has wonderful
strength in West Virginia politics,
the Intelligencer proceeds to insist
that the road to the governorship
this year in this State must be by
loyalty to the new tax laws, and
regulation of and control over pub
lie service corporations. 1t is to be
inferred that the people demand the
latter qualifications of the candidate,
and, as the Intelligencer knows
Davis has none of these, 1t certainly
sees through glass darkly, when
it holds out the view that there is a
possibility of electing him.
Davis would prove a weak candi-
date and would as keenly disappoint
his friends as he did in the Presi-
