Fnyctte County,s Votes.

Tho Petersburg Dispatch-News
congratulated itself that on last Sun
day 1t scooped all other state papers,
especially mentioning the Wheeling
papers, on the greatest political
news item" of the day. Its story
was to the effect that Scherr had in
vaded and captured a part of the
Fayette county delegation. Fayette
having heen regarded as Swisher
stronghold. The story was no
doubt pleasing to the young gentle
men who are in charge of the Scherr
press bureau at the Charleston end,
hut they are not as political mature
and sapient as they should be, else
they would have foreseen that it is
dangerous thing to float fake"
of this kind. They react.
What happened in Fayette was
this: Mass conventions were held
in the various districts at which dele
gates were selected to attend a coun-
sty convention at which delegates to
the state nominating convention are
{ to be chosen. In Fayetteville dis

There are but few real Democrats
who will agree with some of the Re-
publican newspapers in the declara-
ton that Henry G. Davis is a repre-
sentative member of the Democratic
party. "A good many Democrats have
not thought that way about him for
years and they say they have their
reasons. Most any one can easily as
certain those reasons. 1t is not
necessary for the Telegram to mem
ton them now.

Why Taft2

II the nomination for the next
presidency were to be made on the
simple basis of qualification for the
post, we can see no possible escape
from the selection OF Secretary Taft,
both for the nomination and the
election, says the Lowell, Mass, Cour-
ier-Citizen: Surely it would be quite
impossible to deny that his qualifica-
tion from intimate acquaintance, both
at home and abroad, with the task of
administration, is many times greater
than that of any other man in the
country-even of Secretary Root,
whose physical health presumably
removes him at the outset from the
problem. Mr.. Taft, like Kipling's
wandering hero, has
Turned his and to most, and turned
1t good,
In various situations round the
world"
He has served in various capacities
in the national cabinet and has now
and then "sat on the lid" in the alb,
sence OF the president. He has DEM
onstrated his capacity from actual ex-
ercise on this particular job-not left
it to be reasonably inferred from his
able handling of other jobs. 1t is
Just there that Mr. Taft differs in
comparative availability from Gov
ernor Hughes; he has been tried out
on the actual task itself, and not on
any other. however difficult. And it
is this which convinces us that, con-
sidered solely from the standpoint of
fitness to serve, Mr.. Taft far out
classes any other living man, Nor
have we seen any statement of any
reason whatsoever that should lead
one to alter that opinion. If Mr..
Taft is not nominated, 1t will be be-
cause of some reason apart from his
qualification to serve-and therefore.
in our judgment. some reason that is
quite unworthy of decisive weight.

The .Cantiidates.

In one month from last night we
will know who are sure to be the
next officials OF the county, as the
county is overwhelmingly Republic
can, and as the Telegram sees it
there is no possible chance for DEM
iocratic candidates in the county.
Many Democrats will admit that the
latter assertion is true.
AS stated at the end OF another
period of thirty days the ticket that
will be elected next fall will have
been nominated at primary nomi-
mating election.
There Is already a healthy con-
test on among the candidates for the
various nominations as is seen by "a
casual glance at the kilograms an
nouncement column. That column
is an evidence daily OF the character
of men seeking the nominations. 1t
will be seen that there are two can
didates for sheriff-both splendid
men and first-class citizens, capable
of performing the duties of the office
in highly satisfactory manner.
Next, we have the county clerk
ship. There are four who have thus
far announced for that office. They
are all young and progressive men,
fitted for the office.
For the Office. of prosecuting at
torney, we have two splendid candi-
dates running. One has given en-
tire satisfaction in administering the
affairs of that office and the other
is highly capable.
Coming to the circuit clerkship,
there is announced gentleman of
brilliant intellect, store of knowl-
edge and wide scope of experience,
indeed, one of the .brainiest young
men in the county, and all may feel
assured the duties of the office he
seeks would be discharged in high
ly efficient manner.
Nor should We overlook the candi-
dates for the state senate and the
house of delegates. They are all
well fitted. Then, come to the can
didate for assessor. Heretofore
there have been two in the county
but after this according to the new
law there will be but one. The one
who announces himself is already
one of the two proficient assessors
we now have. Both have rendered
fine services and experience will be
worth much in the administration of
the Office the next four years.
With such superior candidates to
select from, strong ticket will be
nominated-one that can not be dis
counted by any the Democracy may
put up-and the men chosen at the
Republican primary election will GER
tainly lead the party to an over
whelming victory.
The county is to be congratulated
that such splendid men aspire to
! public Offices as their success means
fair and dignified and successful adj
ministratien Of the public affairs of
the county.

Reed and the County.

AS the result of the Republican
primary election in Kenawha county
Saturday C. l.. Topping's own county
gives him fifty-nine delegates to the
state convention for secretary of
state. This result arose from the
fact that his opponents in the contest
generously accorded him his own
county and made no effort to invade
his county for delegates, thus ex-
tending a courtesy that Mr.. Top
ping himself will doubtless observe
as, their own counties.
The Kanawha county committee
was no more enthusiastic for its
home candidates than the Harrison
county committee is for Senator Reed
for the place. but did not go to the
extreme of Kanawha county's man
ner of Endorsement. Instead the
Harrison county committee passed a
strong resolution in favor OF Senator
Reeds candidacy and laid before the
people splendid reasons for their sup.
port of him. confident that all Re.
Epublicans in Harrison county would
vote to give him a solid delegation II
