The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1908-10-01


can in West virginia is more deserv.
ing of esteen and confidence than
VIM. E. Giasscock. who was unani.
mously selected by the State COM
mittee here, last week, as the man
best fitted to harmonic the factional
differences when nave rent the par
ty in twain since last July.
Speaking of him, the Fairmont
Clean. able, high minded, noble
hearted, he stands out as a man Of
highest Christian character. He has
as few OF the traits which lower men
In the estimation of their fellows as
any mon OF our acquaintance. He
speaks evil of no one, always keeps
sweet, stands for. the highest and
best things and wears his sovereign
ty under his own hat. We believe
truly and sincerely that there can be
as little truthfully said derogatory OF
the character and general fitness of
VIM. r. GlaSScock to be Governor of
this State as of any other man in the
bounds of West Virginia. He has been
active in politics for many years and
yet is noticeably without the faint
that so often faStens itself even upon
good men after long experience in
public life. He served his county as
circuit clerk and was a most oblie-
ing and popular official He was sec
rotary of the Republican State COM
mittee four years ago And helped
achieve the victory in that noted
struggle. He is now collector of in
ternal revenue for the State of West
Virginia under appointment of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the many fine
things said about him when he was
given the place showed the high es-
TEEN in which he was held by the Re
publicans Of the State.
Mr.. Glasscock is simple in his hab-
| its, unostentatious, unofficious, al
ways approachable, always ready to
listen to the petition of the hnmblest
man in his acquaintance. He is not
rich man, he is not bigot,, he is
no tan aristocrat. He will make an
ideal peoples Governor. He. is an
advocate Of and believer in tax re-
form, and yet he is not regarded as
| q man hostile TO the interests Of the
| people, who have millions of money
! invested in the. development of the
| States resources. 1t is, indeed, for
tunate for the people and the Re
| publican party that SO good and &C
ceptable man as VIM. E. GlasScock
has been chosen as a candidate on
the Republican ticket for the high
and responsible position of Cover
nor. His nomination means election
The 10000 or $4,000 dissatisfied
Democrats who are not willing to see
an aristocrat, made Zen by 1nnerf-
lance. a man opposed to the reduction
of taxes, placed in the highest posi-
ton of honor and trust in their State
can now cast their vote for VIM E.
Glasscock- The friends of temper
ance, purity and Christianity, who
have been somewhat disturbed over
the outlook for clean government in
West Virginia, can turn with conf
dence to Mr.. Glasscock as a man who
stands for the highest ideals in
Christian living. He is member
! of the NJ. E. church, and is held in
highest esteem by people who know
him. No true. Republican ran raise
| word of objection to Mr. Glasscock
! and We confidently expect him to car
ry even more than his full party
strength in the State. Let us all get
to work and work with a viii for the
election Of our neighbor and friend,
VIM. E. Glasscock, of MOrgantown.' -
