Huntington Advertiser
Few men who have announced them
selves as candidates for such high Of
flee as governor Of West Virginia have
met with such universal commenda-
lion at the hands of any party as has
Hon. Louis Bennett, OF Weston who
is the leading candidate for the Demo-
cratic domination for governor
Throughout the length and breadth of
the state no one has lifted up his voice
against Mr. Bennett. His eminent
fitness for the position, his worth as u
man, his strength as candidate are
universally recognized.
The elements of civic and political
strength are combined in rare fashion
in Mr. Bennett lie is Democrat Of
the triediand true type, who believes
firmly in the great fundamental prin-
elples upon wi ich the Democratic party
Is founded, aud who has ever, through
out his political career, upheld those
principles. His record as servant of
the people Is one of which any man
might well be proud, and is open to no
criticism. He repTesentented the great
county of Lewis in the state Il gislature,
was the speaker OF the house OF dele
gates, and in no instance can ii be
pointed out where his vote was cast In
the Interest OF any save the general
public.
He is man who stands high In his
own community, who has ever been a
vote getter among the people who know
him best and are best qualified to
Judge his fitness. Hei, man who
while he has an admirable political
record back.of him, has never been
aligned with either of the two factions
that have striven for control of the
Dem ocratic party III West Virginia,
and he can do more than any other
man to heal any breech that may
threaten in the ranks of the Democracy.
He is man who is we'll supplied with
this worlds goods, and who can enter
upon and mske hard campaign with
out the suspicion that any corporation
or corporate interest is supplying the
funds that are necessary in the carry
ing on Of any political campaign. He
is a man Of personal magnetism, who
is best respected and best loved where
he is best known, and who would prove
a highly popular candidate with the
people generally.
Considered from every view point,
Louis Bennett would prove an ideal
Democratic candidate for governor Of
West Virginia, and if elected, as there
is every prospect that he will be, would
be governor who would serve the
people fsithf1lly and well, and who
would reflect credit upon the state and
its people.

Mr.. C. BUG
APPEARS
BUT HIS DAMAGE so FAR Is VERY
SLIGHT
STATE BOARD ISSUE BULLETIN
On the situation-Weather Conditions
Are More Favorable Than
Last Year

Guthrie March 1.-THE following
statement has been issued by the Ok
lahoma state board Of agriculture CON
cerning the reported appearance Of the
green bug.
The appearance Of the green bug
was reported from Ponca City, in 90
southern part Of Kay county On Feb
ruary 2s It was determined that
these insects we're identical with those
prevalent in this state last spring.
"On March a representative OF
this ONCE, accompanied BY a special
agent Of the United States department
Of agriculture, visited Ponca City and
made a personal examination Of the
Wheat fields in that vicinity
The bugs were found in consider
able numbers in the fields Of older
wheat. In some fields OF later plant.
ing none could be found, while in
others only a few specimens appeared
A number Of blades Of grass were
found containing an adult bug with
six or eight young ones evidently just
born In other cases the adult bug
was just leaving ner family. A con
siderable percentage of the winged
formed were also seen
mo appreciable damage to the gram
was yet apparent. Some outer tips Of
hs des were tinged with brown, which
may have been caused by the extrac-
tion Of the juices BY the bugs or it
may have been due to the bite of frost.
None Of the brown spots SO readily
s4on in the fields heavily infected last
spring could be seen, and It was cvi-
dent that In no place had the bugs be-
come numerous enough to take sufft
cient Juice to kill the plants
"a comparison Of weather conditions
With those Of year ago shows q
practical difference in precipitation in
favor Of the peresnt season, the rain
fall and moisture from snow beire
much in excess Of last winter This
schould have brought about much
healthier condition of wheat this sea
E son than at a corresponding date lssl
