BEARS FOUND IN
WEST VIRGINIA
ATTORNEY MoLLoHkN THINK
! RoosEvEITsMApE MISTAKE
IN GOING TO LOUISIANA

u
WASHINGTON, oct 16.-Although
CLARK May, attorney general Of West
Virginia, remained here two full days,
he declined to talk about this ambition
TO be governor of his State. Nor did
he have much to say about the other
Republicans, who are seeking the hon,
or. The errand Of the attorney general
waste present the debt case to the So,
preme Court. This was done in a
business.like manner by May and his
associates Hollohan, Hogg and the
special counsel, Hon. John G. Carlisle.
Then the West Virginia lawyers hur.
ried to, the trains. There were intlma.
lions by May that the convention OF
next year in his State might take 4
notion to nominate some one who is
not accused Of corporation alliances,
but no names were mentioned. Mollo-
han talked more about bear hunt
that he has In prospect than about the
legal matters that brought him to
town. According to Mollohan the emil.
nent citizen searching for bear tracks
In the cane breaks of Louisiana does
not know a little bit about bears. 1t Is
the advance OF the Charleston lawyer
that the President ought to try hunt
in the mountains OF West Virginia.
where there are bears and OF the sort
that are hard to shoot.
The Mollohan bear preserves are in
Greenbrier' county and he expects 40
bag few OF them ere his vacation Is
over. II the bear hunting is reported
good by the Charleston lawyer It Is
possible that the President may be
urged to try bis luck in West Virginia
before Congress meets. Many eminent
Republicans would be glad to entertain
him in the State and would promise to
provide bears. even II they had to be
bought or borrowed from circus OF a
200. Mollohan has promised to send
word to Washington as to the plenti.
tude OF bear tracks and We may see a
committee OF West vIrginIans calling
at the White House to promise real
good time to thesPresident. ~

MONT TOPPING
VISITS TOE \
'kANaWHA COUNTY MAN WHO
WANTS 10 BE SECRETARY
OF STATE HERE TO-DAY.

Fairmont had hardly recovered from
the announcement that Hon. VIM. H.
Hearnc, candidate for Governor from
Ohio county. was headed this way. in
his automobile, until the news was cir
culated on the streets that Mr. Mont
Topping, OF Charleston. candidate for
Secretary Of State, was in town. He
came in last evening and spent part
Of today in looking over the ground
here. While Marion county is very
near neighbor to Harrison. the home
OF Senator Stuart F. Reed, who IS
seeking the same office, the visit Of
AFR. Topping shows that he Is taking
nothing for granted and that he Is
making an active campaign. He has
visited many counties Of the State
and says he will continue out in the.
field until convention time. As that
is many months on yet, he can see
great many people before voting day
comes.
When asked about the outlook Of
the several candidates for State Of
fee Mr.. Topping had but one answer
for all of them and that was that he
knew nothing about anybody else's
candidacy and that he was for Top
ping and was working for him and
him alone.
Mr.. Topping went from here to Wes.
ton, making no attempt to Steal
Harrison county from Senator Reed
