they get anything out of the result

TEetty oIFon9 FOR OAocn.
Editor West Virgfnian:
AS a coal operator and one with ex.
tensive lumber interests would like
to bring to your notice and to the
notice of the voters of Marion county
the manner in which the Office OF
county prosecuting attorney has been
Won by pure political strategy to the
Democratic party the last four terms
|of that Office.
1t seems as though the Democrats
have been willing to exchange any
minor places on the county ticket for
Republican support In the placing of
Democratic prosecuting attorney and
county commissioner in office.
The selections of the nominees in
the past have not been so much as to
the capability in experience of the
attorney but simply as to his poll
tics. f.sl
think 1t is high time that the vot-
ers OF Marion county should wake up
and find an able and talented legal in
SuhipNhl ioi lhio oulSGs f1t Sloulu uE
n man who will pledge himself to. the
utmost Of this ability In the dis.
charge of that Office. A man who will
not take advantage Of the poor and
criminal weak to the manipulation OF
his political pull. h
! He should be man OF wide expert
ence in criminal practice and be ready
ut all times to meet all corners. He
should be man who will not be afraid
OF corporation influences.
At the coming primary election the
Hon. Howard N. Ogden will solicit the
nomination of prosecuting attorne,
for Marion county.
He is n man OF wide experience
learned. independent, courageous and
capable. He will be the stronges,
nominee that the Republican part,
ha sever placed in opposition to {
Democratic candidate for that gif
from the hands Of the people. A.
such. take 1t that every Republican
of the county will throw his influence
to Mr.. Ogden and give him heart,
support In his efforts to uphold thu
Republican party and the dignity O
the office to which they may cleo
him. s.'iz d.

History of Olive Oil
A VERY ANCIENT
FOOD AND LUBRICANT

All OF lis know something
about Olive Oil. We know 1t is
made from olives and we have
all eaten 1t on salads. But we
forget that Mt one time for thou.
sands of years 1t was one of the
worlds staple foods llfe wheat
and corn.
Before butter was produced
(butter is comparatively mod
ern). Olive Oil was always eaten
with cereals. as butter is eaten
with bread, to soften, sweeten
. and make 1t palatable.
The Bible Is full Of the value
! of Olive OIL in both testaments.
The Romans. Greeks. PhoenI.
clans. Egyptians. Jews. Assyr-
inns. Persfnns. Babylonians, all
highly prired Olive OIL as a
food. Olive Oil was one of the
worlds first foods.
Olive Oil is one of the most
: nourfshing foods known to-day.
: It has fallen n little into disusc
because OF butter and the adul.
teration OF Olive OIL. but if'onn
buys Beri Olive OIL, which is NIB
solutely pure, he will but imi-
tate the wisdom Of the nncients.

subterfuge Of the rankest kind.
1t is discretion and not phiIan-
thropy that now governs his
actions. Had the doctor the least
hope Of carrying Randolph coun-
ty against me every one knows
he would not waste a moment in
contemplation before accepting
my proposition. The tender
solicitude he now bears for fear
that the voters of other counties
might be disfranchised would
trouble him naught.
|, toe, have talked with the
voters of Lawrence and Sharp
counties to some extent on this
subject, and all, without a single
exception, have stated to me that
it would be highly acceptable to
them if we could settle this mat
ter in Randolph county, for we
were both known to the voters of
Randolph county, and strangers
to them. | have never assumed
the role Of a political boss but
rather have | always held myself
to be, when in Office, servant
Of the people. Both Doctor Ruff
and myself have represented
Randolph county in the legisla-
ture and to them we are first ac-
countable for our official acts.
The voters of Randolph county
could best judge as to which of
US has been the most faithful
servant Of the people. Since the
doctor has declined to have his
nelghbors arbltrate between us,
| am quite content to carry the
canvass into the other counties.
| had little hope that the doctor
could be induced to accept the
proposition TO let the voters Of
this county determine between

enough to know that his political
sway in Randolph county has
