Chiffon HAS
HIS FAvOR|TE
DECLARES. HOWEVER. HE'LL
NOT URGE LIrTLEpAGE IN
FACE OF oPPosIrIoN-Is FOR
COL BRYAN.

Parkersburg, w. Va, April a.
Probably the most prominent Dem
ocrat In the city last night was Hon.
William Z. Chiffon. the favorlte son
OF southern West Virginia. Mr..
Chiffon Is one OF the ablest lawyers
in the state and Charleston's most
noted captain of industry. He per-
haps is prouder OF his Democracy.
which Is OF the simon pure brand.
personal contact explains his
power of leadership. Genial, cordial,
kindly--in fact all tha personal
characteristics which win followers
are natural traits.
To a series OF questions he gave
the following answers to the Dis
patch-News:
Charleston is here very anxious
to have the state convention. She
has not had a nominating conven-
tion OF the Democratic party since
1876. when Henry Mason Matthews
was nominated for governor. Since
that time the conventions have been
held at the following places: 1880,
Martinsburg; 1884. Wheeling; 1888
Huntington, 1892, Parkersburg:
1896, Wheeling; 1900. Parkersburg.
and 1904, Parkersburg.
1T can thus be seen that Charles
ton has peculiar claims upon that
sense of fairness which ought to
actuate the state committee. She
has splendid hotel accommodation
and is most accessible to the greater
part OF the state. Since we last ap-
piled to the state committee for this
honor Charleston has entirely
changed her politics and we can now
invite the Democracy to city en-.
tirely Democratic, every Official in
1t being a member of that party.
"At the last election we gave
Cornwell nearly 600 majority and
the Democrats down in my section
are very confident that Kanawha
will do equally as well by some
Democrat who will be nominated
this year
The Republican convention will
be held in Charleston and IT, she gets
the Democratic convention we intend
to join forces with the Republicans
and build fine wigwam in the CEN
trail part OF the city near the hotel
and build 1t so secure and strong
that 1t can be used by both parties
during the campaign.
by this course the expense will
be divided and will not fall heavily
on either side and then there will
be assured ample room and all con-
veniences for taking care of the i'm
mense crowd.
"Yes, our people are for Mr.. Bry.
an for president, and they would
look with regret upon any effort to
defeat him in West Virginia
The people are entitled to their
way, and even If thought someone
else would be stronger | would bow
to what | regard as the desire of a
great majority OF our Democrats.
But I admire him personally and
as statesman and believe that ne
Is the strongest man that could be
possibly nominated and have no hes
itation in saying | believe he will be
triumphantly elected.
Yes. Kanawha county has a can
didate for governor in Hon Adam
B. Littlepage. He is hard work
ing. good Democrat and in the year
1906 carried his senatorial district.
the majority in Kanawha county
against him being very small. He
Is very popular and It is my judg-
ment that the county will support

LET THE LAW RULE IN
THE COOPER TRIAL
Continued from first page.

should go before an honest jury, under
the instruction of an honest judge, and
II out of this comes an honest verdict,
whatever it may be, the laws duty
will have been done.
So much for the law and for justice.
We are not passing upon the guilt or
the innocence of the accused. The
court is the only tribunal in which this
can be settled. Trials by newspapers
settle nothing, but there is one thing
that men must do. They must leave
to the law the adjustment of disputes
and difficulties, for unless they do so
we will have confusion and chaos.
Men go about the streets without
murder in their hearts, but with the
implements Of murder in their pockets
Men preach the peaceful doctrines of
Christ and seek to apply it to govern
ment, but they do not apply it to
themselves.
We all cry out for the enforcement
of the law, but we do not resolve in our
own minds to obey the law, no matter
what may be the provocation to break
it.
We need higher courage. We
should cultivate quality of bravery
which will enable us to be courageous
enough to determine that nothing, UNI
less it be the defense of our own lives,
will cause us to take the life or to do
bodily harm to a fellow man.
The law will protect all of us in all
things, if all Of us resolve to uphold the
arms of justice.
And the epidemic of killing which
seems to be sweeping over this country
now will end only when each OF us
take these things TO heart, and resolves
to make them a part of our rule of life
and conduct.
If we do not do these things we will
go back into savagery, and the civiliza-
tion we boast of, but assail, will be-
come as the grinning skull of dead
thing, mocking us for our frailties. -

the Peoples and were engaged in a political discussion. All three made a dash for the animal as he passed by, but they were not sprinters and as there was no chance of making a owing picture" of the accident they gave up the chase in disgust. It was a short run for the frightened animal and he came to a standstill some 50 feet beyond Adams street. MT Roal is of the opinion that he has purchased horse which shows considerable speed but has not the wind to be entered in the fair races.
