Fairmont, w. Va, March 20.
Editor West virginlan:
notice in your paper of March IA,
communication from your Catawba
correspondent, Mr., Chas. Frederick,
where he states in his bunch OF
boosts that while Mr.. Amos was gath
ering his plums Mr.. Satterheld was
staying at home planting the kernels
and that he. Mr.. satterfeld, would on
the eleventh day Of April gather his
plums. 1t occurs to me that the kerr
nels were planted In rather late day.
as such fruit does hardly ever mature
in SO short time, and 1t occurs to
me that when Mr.. Satterfield comes 10
gather his plums he will find many
that did not ripen, as he anticipated
they would.
We are much pleased to see that
Mr.. Frederick takes the right view in
regard to the other three candidates,
namely, Mr.. NJ. C. Tough for State SUI
perlntendent of free schools. as II has
become common talk that Mr.. Tough
Is the best man the State could pro
duce for the responsible Office of State
superintendent of school.
He also gives Mr.. Ogden and Mr..
Davis the boost they deserve and we
believe his predictions will come true
as TO the three candidates last named
in his boost. At least, the writer
thinks not only will Mr.. Lough, Mr..
Davis and Mr.. ogden, but Mr.. Amos.

AT this conference. the situation

stated on high authority, informed
scherr that they believed him already

part seemed the only thing left for
him to do. However, they advised that
If he were very anxious to embarrass
and defeat Secretary Of State swisher,
he might hold on while longer in the
hope of getting some stronger man in
the race in his place and throwing
what little strength in the way OF, del

ted, however. that the likelihood Of
getting new Richmond in the field
at this late day was rather slim, since
the swisher organization is proving a
strong one and getting stronger all the
time by reason of the series of defeats
administered by 1t to the scherr cause.
1t was pointed out that of the seven
counties that had selected delegates
scherr had failed to carry a single one

and had three OF the eight votes in
