the Democrats want 70 put a better
and abler man in the United States
senate that Stephen B. Elkins. they
must, as the Gazette asserts, find
such person. At present the Dem
ocrats have no such man. 1t is well
then 10 let the state and the country
have he almost inestimable services
Of this man Of big abilities as long
as possible.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-01-25
Gazette speaks wIseIy.


In expressing It's opinions about
the reelection OF United States SEN
ator Stephen B. Elkins, the Charles
ton Gazette, a Democratic organ.
says:
For the distinguished senator per-
sonalIy we know nothing but kindly
thoughts. He is unquestionably a
very able man, law student and an
untiring worker; he has seen the
wide, wide world. on both sides of
the Atlantic and knows the life and
business of many climes and people;
he can speak Spanish as fuently as
English. and that It talking some;
he has had experience as a lawyer,
banker, coal operator. gold and sill
yer producer. railroad builder and
operator and generally as an investor
OF large capital. Wherever he has
pitched his tent he as been a busy
man, playing with only the big ones
and for only big things
I'm 1884 he was chairman OF the
national committee OF his party and
lost the election. terriNe blow, for
Blaine was his warm friend, indebt-
ed for much TO Elkins, and there is
ne doubt that honors would have
come for the asking IL Blaine had
won. He was Harrison's secretary
of war. and ever since has been a
commanding figure In our national
life. He began life in poverty: he
is now very wealthy; howsoever or
wheresoever he had school
advantages he is now a
splendidly educated and ripe
scholar in language. science ana
general literature. He knows inti-
mately all the great railroad presi-
dents, bankers, business and profess
sional men from San Francisco to
Boston; has been for thirty years the
acquaintance OF all and the friend
Of many of the presidents. senator's
and cabinet officers OF the national
government.
Many OF US believe that he came
to West Virginia 10 get political pre-
ferment, but. We must not forget
that he has also come here for a
wife. and, in both Instances. nothing
but the best would suffice.
"A man who has thus. for over
thirty years, jostled against and
COPIED with, the greatest minds OF
the country in business and poll
tics, who could plan for Blaine and
Harrison. engage successfully in
business with the mining primes OF
the west and the railroad and bank
ing magnates OF the east. build rail-
roads. open coal mines. practice law,
study problems Of state. read cur
rent literature. translate Horace and
entertain Spanish ministers in his
purest Castilion. is no easy man to
beat in the game Of politics"
The Gazette then goes on 10 say
that the Democratic party can gain
nothing by Understanding Senator
Elkins and that it is idleness to at
tempt to minimize the power and
ability Of this wonderful genius and
to beat him, or his party led by him.
Is a very big Job. One Of the best
equipped and ablest men in the Unit
ed States senate, the Gazette admits,
Il the senior senator from West
Virginia
What. the Gazette says Is true and
the fact that Democrats are awaken
ing to realization OF facts, while
surprising. Is creditable to them. II

SECRET PRACTICE

Princeton, Oct.---Seefet practice was
In order again yesterday afternoon, and
the Tigers were rushed through many
formations which have been hatched out
by Princetons coaching STAFF. The stress
was laid not so much on tricks of the
auadruple pass order, where the runner
hides the ball under his helmet. but on
the sort which battles the opposing side.
Princeton is down for straight, speedy
football this season
Two fresh teams met the Varsity. and
the second proved tough nut to crack.
The scrubs were vulnerable for a couple
OF touchdowns In lo-minute half. When
the Freshman crowd went in later the
first string seemed completely demoral-
lied, for the Tiger cubs smashed we'll
meaning plays to smithereens. Bard at
quarterback shone brilliantly for the
Freshmen. Baumon was used I'm the
scrimmage, but only for a short while.

The Pawtucket High School eleven
played its first football game OF the sea-
son yesterday and defeated the Taunton
High School eleven In a decisive manner
by the score OF TO 0. The game, which
was played on the Sabin street grounds,
was fairly interesting and somewhat ex-
citing at times. although both teams made
many grave mistakes.
The Pawtucket eleven played the more
consistent football. and in the second half
showed great superiority TO it's opponents.
The Taunton team outweighed the Paw
tucket eleven but the knowledge and gem
eralship OF the latter proved superior be-
fore the contest ended
During the first half both teams played
about even football. the weaknesses OF
both sides being plainly apparent. The
Pawtucket ends were the manstay OF the
team throughout this half and were main
ly responsible for Taunton's inability to
score. Both Farnum and Lowry fSlayed
fast football and frequently lodged the
interference and dropped the man with
the ball for loss. Al centre Allen did not
show up in very good form, being very
poor at passing back for a punt.
