THE BATTLESHIP UTAH.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-Bids
for the construction of the battleship
Utah have been opened.
HAN-<~-\%-~-N-~-A-$-~-%
Like Bill Burns, he throws the ball
with his left hand. Previous to this
season, he wore a Pittsburg uniform,
being with the Pirates two seasons.
At the close of last season, Flaherty,
together with other players, traded
to Boston, where he had a successful
season this year Flahercy is a gem
tlemanly ball player and will make
many friends while touring the Orient.
NICK WILLIAMS.
Nick Williams, playing outfield, is
San Francisco's regular first baseman.
1t is predicted that he will make his
debut in one of the great leagues be-
fore another season passes. Manager
Charles Comisky, of the famous White
Socks has seen him play, and it is
more than likely that he will buy his
release from the San Francisco Club.
GLADSTONE GRANEY.
One of the best pitchers in the Unit
ed States is Gladstone Graney who be-
longs to the Clevelands or the Ameri
can League Graney is a felt handed
pitcher and has some wonderful curv-
es. He is very fast on his feet and
, makes a good outfielder. He will av-
erage about 275 in any League. He is
man of steady habits, about % years
old and single. So watch him girls.
HAL DANZIG.
This member of the Boston Team,
American League, is the tallest man
in the profession, being feet 6 inches
in height Danzig plays first base. 1t
will not be long before he will be
known as one of the best batters in
the United States. He is about 81,
single, takes an interest in his work
and is a credit to the profession.
GEORGE HILDEBRAND
George Hildebrand, who is playing
left field for the Reach All-Americans,
has worn San Franciscos uniform for
five years. He played one season with
the Brooklyn Club before joining San
Francisco. He is a finished outfielder
in every respect. Few outfielders COW
er more ground or can return the ball
to the home plate in better shape than
this stocky outfielder. He is playing ir-
side baseball all the time; while at
the bat, the pitcher must put the ball
over the plate before Hildy will swing
at it. He may not make as many hits
as Ty Cobb on this trip, but it is even
betting that he will get his base on
balls as often.
ROY McARDLE.
Roy McArdle, who is playing short
stop for Reach's All-Americans, play
ed the infield for San Francisco this
year. This young player is a great
fielder. Batters cannot hit them toe
fast down his way for him not to stop
He is a player who goes after every
thing that comes anywhere near him
He has strong ana accurate arm and
seldom makes a poor throw to first
base.

Reach troupe, his place being taken
by Heitmuller. Danzig travels in
place of Jerry Freeman.
CAPTAIN BILL DEVEREAUX.
Captain Bill Devereaux, who is fam
fic Coast as the "old red dog" is fam
GUS far and wide as a coacher. Dew
ereaux has been a star in the Paci-
fic Coast League for ten years. He
has played with different clubs, and
for the past five years has held down
third base with the Oakland CLUB,
California. He IS a great idol of the
fans of the Pacific Slope. 1t has been
said that he is the equal of Arlie Lat
ham, who was the king of American
coachers in his time. Devereaux is an
aggressive ball-player, always being in
the thickest of the fight, and never
gives up until the last player is out.
BILL BURNS.
Silent Bill Burns, who was with the
Washington Club, is a graduate of the
Pacific Coast League, being largely in
strumental in Los Angeles winning the
championship last year. His great
work in the box attracted the at
tention of Manager Joe Cantillion OF
the Washington Club, who bought his
release from Los Angeles. Burns
made good with Washington right
away. Though the Senators were a
losing team, Burns won large per-
centage of his games.
JACK BLISS.
Jack Bliss, the Reach All-Ameri-
cans mainstay behind the plate,
caught for the st. Louis National Lea
que Club this year. Bliss is another
instance ia college boy making good
in major league company Three years
ago he graduated from the University
of California. His work on the varsity
gained the attention of the manager
of the Oakland Club, who signed him.
JIM DELEHANTY.
James Delehanty, playing second
base, is one of the famous Delehanty
brothers, who are known wherever
baseball is played. Ed Delehanty who
met an untimely death few years
ago, was a sensational player. Dele
hanty and Lajoie played with the Phi
ladelphia Club before the American
League came into existence. They
were renowned for their hitting, and
when they were on the diamond Phi
ladelphia was always hard to beat.
JERRY FREEMAN.
Jerry Freeman, playing first base,
held down like position on the WASH
ington Club this year. This was his
first year in the American League.
He supplanted Jake 6tahl, whom
Washington sold to Boston. While
Stahl was rated as a high-class play
err, Freeman proved quite mis- equal.
PAT FLAHERTY.
Pat Flaherty pitched for the Boston
National League Club this season.

OnC0 there was a man in
OAAOO Love who was Ex-
tremely Attenuated. In fact, he
grew so slender that his Shadow
used to fall into Cracks in the
Pavement and had to be pried
out.
His Daisy complained that
his Knee Hurt her, and that it
made her Cross Eyed, to look at
him; but she Couldn't Afford to
be Particular, and let it Go at
That.
One day she Noticed that the
Wind no longer Whistled when
it Struck him, and that his
Clothes seemed Filled Out She
Reproached him Bitterly. "Ah,
CLARENCE! You love me No
More!"
''No, Dearest he said. my
Appetite is Tremendous, it is
True, but I Love you Just the
same. The Secret is that now
I take Glass of Primo Beer
with Every Meal"
He grew Heavy so Rapidly
that his Tailor had to Pla n
Ahead, but he was True to Daisy
to the End.
Moral: Primo Beer will give
you an Appetite under the most
Adverse Conditions.

The Republican party of West
Virginia went before the people in
the year 1904 upon platform de.
claring for readjustment of the
burdens of taxation, the equaliza.
ton of such burdens, and the
I gradual reduction of tangible
property of taxation for state pur-
poses. Never did political party
promise with greater sincereity,
and never has political party
fulfilled its promises with greater
fidelity. Without doing injustice
to any person or interest great
strides have been made toward
equalization of taxation burdens.
In 1904 the levy for the taxes for
state purposes was thirty-fve telts
on the one hundred dollars OF as
sessed value. The levy has been re-
duced gradually until 1T is now
but five cents on the hundred dol.
lars, and yet more money has gone
into the general school fund than
ever before. We stand by aud re-.
iterate the platform of 1904. The
new tax laws shonld be perfected
and strengthened from time to
time. Not only must no backward
steps be taken in this great reform
but a steady advance must be
made to the end that more and
more shall taxes be levied on
privileges and luxuries and taken
off of necessities.
We favor comprehensive plan
of building good roads; a plan
that will secure to the people a
dollars worth of benefits for each
dollar spent. AS the Importance
of good roads throughout the state
Is very great, we recommend the
start made in this direction by the
Legislature of 1907, and we earn.
estly recommend to the legislature
further practical enactments.
1t is source of great gratIfica-
tion that within the past few years
the minimum term of our public
schools has been increased fifty
per cent. Within the same period
other distinct advances have been
made in our system of public edu-
cation. We heartily favor the
continuation of this good work.
and all possible aid to thu common
schools, as well as tho generous
support of the other schools Of the
state.
We endorse the work of the state
board of agriculture and the acts
of the legislature in furnishing
means TO encourage the pursuit of
farming in our state. We heart
lily favor q continuance of the
policy of encouraging the develop
ment of agriculture and horticul-
ture In our state.
We commend the work of the
sessions of the legislature during
the present administration, and
the sessions of 1904 and of 1905
of ths previous ADMINISTRATION. In
the main, and to q greater degree
than usual, the laws enacted by
these bodies have been we'll CON
sidered and have filled a public
want. We especially commend
the excellent work of the called
session of this year, which in
quantity and quality of legislation
enacted compared to length of the
term, is seldom surpassed.
West Virginia republicans have
good reason to be proud of the

of the state believe that the traffic
In intoxicating liquors is an evil
and desire to mitigate and eradi-
cate the evils OF such traffic as far
as possible. But we recognize that
there is an honest difference of
opinion as to which is the better
method whereby this result NAV
be obtained, whether by statewide
prohibition through amendment
to the constitution of the state, or
by what Is known as local option
through a vote of the people IN
each county. We believe that the
people are capable Of settling
this question, and that they have
right to settle it. Therefore, we
favor the passage by the next leg
islature of we'll considered and
all adequate local option law, and
alsodhe submission TO a vote of
the people of an amendment to the
constitution prohibiting the said
traffic.
The laborer is worthy Of his hire
and he should receive a lust and
adequate share of the wealth his la
Dor creates. The workingman has
undoubted right to organize to
promote his welfare and should be
protected in the exercise of such
right; but all organizations.
whether of laborers or Of EMPLOY
ers Of labor, should be condition
ed on right principles, and should
be obedlent to the rules Of right
and justice and to the law. The
boycott and the blacklist are both
evil cOnspirators, both un-Ameri-
can, and both should be prohibited
by law. We favor the enactment
of an employers liability law Just
10 the employer and employe.
We heartily favor the PROPOSE
tion to establish a national bureau
of mines and mining, which will,
among other things, inquire into
AID if possible ascertain the cause
of accidents in mines. And we
favor the speedy enactment of
all wise, just and adequate laws
which will safeguard the health
and lives Of the workingmen in
our minee, az well as prevent the
great loss Of property which recent
mine disasters have caused in this
state and elsewhere in this coun-
try.
We favor laws which will pre-
vent the coming into this state and
into this country Of vicIous, igno-
rant and otherwise, undesirable
immigrants.
We favor what is known as the
direct primary election method of
making nominations as substan-
TALLY incorporated in Senate Bill
ia introduced at the last regular
session of the legislature, whereby
all candidates of all political par
ties for the elective Offices shall
be nominated. But as this will be
a radical departure in this state,
1T may be Wise to leave the nomi-
nation of county tickets optional,
as to whether by primary or other
method, as the proper party COM
mittee IN the county may deter
mine. But in no event should anv
primary be held except under state
or county officers aud under the
state laws governing elections,
and ali regular primaries of all
parties should be held on the
same date, fixed by statute.

The Republican Tickets.

AS our readers know the dele
gates selected some time ago by the
several counties In the state met in
the city of Charleston last week to
nominate republican state ticket.
AS result of the deliberations of
the delegates we now have two re-
publican tickets in the field and a
split ia the party organization.
which we fear will be difficult to
remedy and patch up in time for
victory this fall, unless both candi-
dates for governor withdraw and
only one ticket is placed on the bal
lot.
The cause for this split was the
unfair and arbitrary action of the
state committee in deciding the
contests which came before it aud
the breaking point came when the
committee decided to seat the
Hearne delegates from Ohio county.
Then 1t was that the Scherr mana
gers notified the committee that
they would no longer submit to its
decisions and withdrew from the
room. After this, which was on
Tuesday night, the Scherr followers
held a meeting and decided that
the only recourse was to hold
convention of legally elected dele
gates. On Wednesday at IL
o'clock, a. m., the Scherr delegates
met at the court house, which was
filled to overfiowlng with republi-
cans from all over the state, VINO
believed they were taking the
proper step, and the following
ticket was nominated
Governor-Arnold =. Scherr.
Auditor. X. Hall.
Secretary of State-John r.
Harris.
Treasurer-C. N. Snodgrass.
Attorney General--A. II. Stall

y
IN the pact twelve years Of repub.
iican administration. The growth
and development of these dozen
years is greater than that of the
entire twenty-five years of proceed
ing democratic rule. In this per
iod of republican dominance
the fee system in both state and
county Offices has been abolished:
the constitution has been amended
In needed aud important particu-
lars, many of our statutes amend
ed aud revised, and many needed
aud excellent new laws enacted.
Taxes on the property of the peo-
pie have been greatly reduced aud
equalIzed.
ln all these good works and re-
forms candor compels us to sav
that the action of the Democratic O
party has been childish, reaction
ary and uupatriotic. Nearly all
the good things accomplished in
this state since March A, 1897, it
has opposed. 1t has been the par
~ OF negation and obstruction in
West Virginia, as it has been in
the nation. It's platform on the
tax question In 1904 was ridicu-
lous and unmeaning straddle-so
much so, indeed, that il was
scarcely ever referred to bv it's
creators or newspapers. 1t has
with great regularity opposed that
which was proposed by the major
ity, apparently because it was 80
proposed. 1t has apparently con-
sidered nearly every important
question that has come up In the
Legislature from the point of view
of how they could make the most
''party capital" out of it, and
not as to how they coul 1 best BEN
eft the state.
Among the good laws passed by
the extra session of the legislature
of 1908 We especially commend that
regulating and limiting the expen-
diture of public money, and also
that providing for strict and strin-
gent accounting Of public funds by
all persons and boards and institu-
tions entrusted with their custody
or expenditure.
We regret the failure of the bill,
which passed the senate, to become
a law. which had for it's purpose the
definite fixing Of the number and
compensation of the officers and en-
ployes of the Legislature. We in
sist that such law be enacted at
the next session.
we favor the protection of West
Vlrglnia's forests, It's waters, soil
and mineral resources. by reasonable
regulations, whereby needless
waste may be checked, and the
damage from forest fires, periodic
Hoods, erosion, and droutbs may be
lessened so far as practicable, and
the future production of lumber
for the use of the people may be
assured.
We commend the wise and able
administration of Governor VIM.
Nj. o. Dawson. He brought 20
his high office well trained mind
in public affairs, both in statecraft
and In executive capacity. His
administration has been signalized
by wise management and scrupul-
GUS fidelity to the peoples best in
terest and has reflected great honor
upon the state. In accomplish
ments it has marked an epoch in
the states history. We regret
the impairment of his health,
which has rendered it imperative
that he take an enforced rest, and
we send him greeting with earnest
assurances of our sympathy and
hope for a speedy recovery and
full resumption of his duties.
