LONG LIST OF PARDONs

Little Rock, Nov. 21. Just as soon as Gov. Pindall has made some indication of the number of pardons he will issue to State convicts during the holidays, Paul Little, his private secretary will begin the work of preparing a list of the pardons, issued since the inauguration of his father, Gov. John s. Little, and for pre- sentation to the next legislature. The list will be an exceptionally long one showing a pardon for almost every day in the year. 1t will also show very plainly the number of governors the State has had in that time. There are pardons signed by Gov. Little, and acting governors, Mooro. Pin dall and Hamiter.

There is always a number of changes being made lin offices of this class, but the number at the present time is far above the normal.

ADJUSTMENTS

Never since the days of "Un- cle Toms Cabin" has a drama been 50 bitterly attacked in the public prints as "The Clansman. ;" The ability of the playwright, Thomas Dixon, IT,, and the thrilling nature of the scence have been admit l; but fierce objection has been made to the incidents set forth and the prin- ciples enunciated. It seems likely, however, the Pacific coast will love "The Clansman" for the enemies it has made. With it's story of the Reconstruc- tion era in the South, and the work of the Ku Klux Klan, the story should commend itself to every American who adheres to the grand principle of White Supremacy. This epoch-mak- ing play. which has thriven mo- tably on the opposition it has encountered, will shortly appear at the opera house in this city.

Glasscock
Favors Taft
BUT THINKS STATE COMMITTEE
MAY LEAVE ENDORSEMENT
TO CONVENTION.

Hon. W. f. Glasscock, of Morgan
town, collector of internal Revenue,
passed through Fairmost this after
noon en- route to Parkersburg to at
tend meeting of the Republican State
committe, Of which he is member.
Mr.. Glasscock favors two State con-
ventions, one for selection of dele
gates to the National convention and
later one to select nominees for the
state ticket. Mr.. Glasscock rather
inclines to the idea that the latter
part of June would be good time for
the convention.
Relative to the proposed endorse
ment Of Secretary Taft, r. Glasscock
said he was a Taft man all right, but
he thought it would perhaps be a bad
precedent for the State committee to
make an endorsement. He prefers to
leave 1t to the State convention when
the delegates are selected. He though
the committee might give out state
ment declaring that the members were
candidacy.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-01-16

believing sincerely in the justice
of my party's position on these mat.
tiers, and believing, too, quite natural
ly, in the justice of my administra-
tons position touching the reforms
brought about under it, is 1t strange
that I should give my support to a
man who has helped me and stood by
me as Secretary Swisher has done? l
regard the nomination OF such a man
by the party as in every way desira-
BILE and his election as a guarantee
that the course the party has taken
as sure to be steadily and wisely adj
hered to. Mr.. Swisher's frank, con
else statement of his position on the
questions now uppermost in the pub,
lie mind, which he recently caused to
be published. meets with my earnest
approval, and I believe with the cor
dial appreciation of the majority of
the thinking people Of the State.
"The Republican party in West Vir-
ginia should take no backward step,
but should press forward to the &c.
complishment Of steadily improv.
ing government to the end that taxa
ton be made juster. that the greatest
perfection in laws and their admins
tratIon may be attained. This SHOULD
be the highest mission of all political
parties and. above all, the party into
whose keeping the governing powers
have been reposed by the voters"

PArRlorIsM RuN MAO.

The State Journal still insists that
West Virginia Republicans ought to
be in favor of West Virginian for
President. According to that theory
each State In the Union should come
up to the National convention with
"favorite SON." We do not believe
in that way OF doing and we do not
believe the people do either. When
public sentiment begins to crystalline
on a great and good man as it did in
1896 on William Mckinley and as it
is now on William H. Taft We think
It is really detrimental to the inter
ests of the country and to the vel
fare of the party to try to smother the
feeling OF the people by the adavoca-
cy OF "favorte sons" in the different
States. An effort of that sort was
made in by the politicians to defeat
Mckinley and the State Journal seems
to approve OF such tactics now. but
the West Virginian is free to say it
does not. However. the State Journal
is entitled to its opinion on the sub.
ject which is expressed as follows:
The State Journal has a very kindly
feeling for Secretary Taft. itself, large
ly because he represents the progress
sive policies OF President Roosevelt
and is not reactIonfst like Speaker
Cannon. AS to the idea of the West
Virglnian that this paper was defend
ing Senator Elkins. what it said IN
reply to the former article Of that pa
per could scarcely be construed to be
such. In fact Senator Elkins needs no
defense. What the state Journal real
ly contained was n criticism OF the
old and repeated folly. frequently ap.
pearing in West Virginia newspapers,
that there is no use of this States
trying to get anything In a national
way 1t is a very cheap view that We
must always go trading for some
sop or patronage in the national con.
ventlon OF the Republican party.
II we have dozen men in this State
capable and worthy OF being President
so much the more reason for asking
for 1t. instead of deprecating any effort
in their behalf.
Whatever may be the liking of the
State Journal for any one who does
not reside in West Virginia even u
he were personal preference of this
paper qualification, party loyalty,
proper experience. all the essentials
which go to make up candidate be.
ing equal 1t would be for a home man
in preference to anybody else. 1t
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-01-16

Some Of the newspapers seem ready
to sneer at the favorable mention Of
Hon. Presley Morris as a candidate
for Congress which the State Jour
nal has copied from various ex-
changes in the State. We do not look
at the matter in that light. We be-
lieve the newspaper men of the State
love Presley Morris and are sincere
in saying that he is deserving of rec
ognition at the hands of his fellow
Republicans. Whether now is his
time or not, or whether he would more
ably represent the Fourth district in
Congress than does Mr.. woodward, va
are not pretending to say, as that Is
for the Republicans Of the Fourth
district to determine. but we are sin.
cere to the point OF deepest earnest
ness in saying that Mr.. Morris is one
OF the most deserving Republicans In
the state and that nothing is too good
for him.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-01-16

We spoke too soon. The Democrats
are really still kicking on the city fl
nances, although their two represen-
tatives in the council meeting on
Tuesday night seemed very optimistic
as to the outlook for taking care OF the
bonded indebtedness of the city and
arranging for such improvements as
would be necessary from time to time
But what is a Democrat anyhow, If he
can't kick? What kind Of campaign
could they run If they diden't cry
ring" and run down the Republican
councilmen? Their ranting in the local
organ doesn't alarm anybody so far
as we have been able to learn after
a most rigid inquiry to-day.
