Newton 0gdin for Treasurer.

State Treasurer Newton Ogdin
seems to have but little opposition tc
denomination on the Republican tick
ct, and, in writing TO the delegates
from this county, he states his case
clearly as well as reviews the work
done by his office, which has grown
extensively.
A Charleston paper says OF him
and his chances:
+ state Treasurer Newton Ogdin,
who is a candidate for denomination
practically has no opposition, owing
to the fact that he has proven him
self valuable member of the board
OF public works. The interests OF
the common people have been his
chief concern, yet at the same time
he has been disposd to act with the
utmost caution and fairness in re-
gard to the large interests, so that
no injustice be done and that fair
treatment be melted out to ALL"

Denl,am for Taft.

The effort to make 1t appear that
Sherman q. Denham was for For
aker is erroneous. The truth OF the
matter is he was one of Taft's fore
most supporters in West Virginia.
The Parkersburg Dispatch-News
throws good deal of light on the
subject as follows:
Certain newspaper dispatches and
Democratic purveyors of news in
giving account of the Denham separa-
ton from the Clarksburg postoffice
falsely attach as reason the alleged
friendship of Denham for Foraker.
As a matter of fact Denham was a
high much-a-muck among the Taft
| managers in. West Virginia, and the
personal and official friends of
Frank IT. Hitchcock. Indeed. some
Of Denham's friends allege he was the
real thing in setting up the pins in
West Virginia for Taft The Dis
patch-News knows as matter of fact
that Denham was quite busy at the
state delegate convention held here
at Parkersburg, in Taft's behalf and
had the resolution in his hands in
structing for Taft, the adoption of
which he was personally urging.
THE talk, therefore, as to the Den
ham1Foraker alliance is moonshine.
as bearing on the Denham removal
from his p o."

Theodore Roosevelt.
0Cincinnati Times-Star,


Isn't 1t about time for some of his
enemies and few OF his supposed
friends, who have been responsible
for all this third-term talk, to make
an apology to Theodore Roosevelt?
For many months enemies OF the
President have assailed his sincerity
in declining third term. He'll
play some trick at Chicago-look out
for it"-so the chorus has sung.
Some well-meaning friends have paid
him the scant compliment of thinking
that they could disregard his words.
The emptiness, the foolishness, in
of all this talk is now apparent.
No one doubts Mr.. Roosevelt's tre-
mendous hold upon the affections of
the American people. A word from
him might have thrown the conven-
ton into turmoil. But at Chicago he
played the game absolutely straight
as any one who knew him would have
expected him to do.
Mr.. Roosevelt may have his faults.
He Is so intensely human and so in
tensely vlrile that it would be strange
II he did not have one or two. But
the people who have charged him
with insincerity in his expressed in
tention regarding the presidency this
year really ought to own up about
this time that they have been small,
or prejudiced, or foolish in their idea
on this very interesting subject.

ent the campaign can end only in a
Republican victory. Mr.. Bryan has
been leader Of the Democratic party
virtually for ~ years. and the state
OF the party bears eloquent testimony
to the quality Of his leadership. OF
46 states the Democrats control only
10 and the Republicans 80. There
are only 81 Democrats in the United
States Senate to 81 Republicans, and
another Republican Senator, elected
in Kentucky to succeed Democrat,
will take his seat March 4. There
are only two anti-Republican senators
north of the line OF the Missouri
compromise. Outside of New York
city there are only 81 Democrats in
both houses of Congress. from the
entire east, north and west.
MIR. Bryan's own state has gone
Republican in every election for
seven years, although ne arranged a
fusion ticket and framed a platform
in every campaign. New Jersey, the
only northern state which failed to
give its electoral votes to Lincoln in
1860 and which went Democratic In
every national election but one for
40 years, gave Republican majority
of 81 900 against Mr.. Bryan in 1896.
and has been Republican ever since.
"one vital dominating fact con-
fronts the Dmocratic party which no
oratory, which no eloquence, which no
rhetoric can obscure: Bryan's nomi-
nation means Taft's election"

to divert its efforts to the good of
the country first at times, when its
party gone crazy for power threatens
the happiness and prosperity of the
people of the nation. The World
recognizes again that its party is
about to attempt a policy ruinous not
only to itself but also to the people
of the nation and it takes the initia-
tive step even this soon after the
nomination of William H. Taft for
President to do battle for his cleo

Behind a bill reported in the House yes

Of West Branch Mich. who came TO the
United States from England. with their

citizen. This was not known by his
sons. They grew up to manhood, one
entering business, and the other law,

Early IN 190S, the Bennett brothers fled
on a parcel Of valuable public land on
the upper peninsula OF Michigan As an
incident of perfecting title they were
obliged to prove their citizenship. This
necessitated a study of the records OF
the court in which the elder Bennett
was supposed to have received his sec

A short search disclosed that. for some
reason or other. Bennett had not taken

LITTLE HOPE FOR CURRENCY

While the leaders Of the two Houses

There is a wide ehasm between the
House and the Senate on this subject

session Of the House and Senate con-
ferees viii be held to-day. All signs
point 10 a disagreement.
Conferences held yesterday between
Senator Aldrich and Representative Vree-
land resulted in no progress. Senator
Aldrich, so it Is reported, suggested a
number Of compromises. all of them en-
bracing provisions Of both the Senate and
House bills.
The House attitude is well expressed

sentative Weeks, Of Massachusetts. one
OF the conferees. He said:

IN essence, all the advances. made by
the Senate have been in the way of nro-
posals that If a currency law is passed
1t shall contain provisions specifically
enumerating the securities to be used as
a basis for emergency currency. On the
ether hand. the House coaferees. com
planning that they have no latitude in
dealing with the Senate, insist that the
language in the Vreeland bill reading
that any securities, including CONNER
cial paper, shah be used as a basis for
currency, must remain in the measure.

Congress that currency legislation shan
be enacted as safeguard against pos
sible emergencies. a serious effort wiz ba

The conferees reached an agreement on
the agricultural bill. and their report was

In the Senate the principal fight has

the item out. but increased it to sI.eO0.-
