PERSONAL POPULARITY OF THE
CANDIDATE NOT EQUAL TO
DISLIKE OF ELKINS-CAM-
PAIGN OPENING A FROST.

1t has come. Not the first frost
OF the season. but the biggest and
coolest. 1t happened in the classic
precincts and high altitude Of Nor
gantown Saturday night. the occa-
sion being the formal opening OF
the campaign in Mononaol.a county
the home OF Hon. w. K. Glasscuck
the Repu blican candidate for COVER
nor. The meeting had been per-
sistently and Systematically adver-
tised for ten days. In addition to
the almost frantic appeals made to
local pride on account OF Glass
cocks residence in Morgantown.
Senator Julius c. Burrows, Of Mich
1gan; Congressman George G. Stur-
gfs. and Stuar. F. Reed. orators
all, without fear and above re-
proach, were given important dis
play on the posters announcing the
event. AS an additional attraction
a concert by the University Glee
Club was extensively advertised. But
In spite OF these extraordinary eff
forts the people would not come IN
satisfying numbers, and those who
came refused 20 stay. The few who
actually did stay through tho
mournful proceeding refused abso-
lutely to enthuse with the spirit
OF the occasion, and the meeting
was the most disappointing in the
whole series OF frosts which have
marked the efforts OF the Republi-
cans this year. the Hughes meat
iDgs held in the central and east
ern cities OF the state last week
were no exception to the contrary.
The combined efforts of the glee
club, BRASS band and citizens
committee which strove valian.ly
failed to muster at any timc an
audience of more than one thous-
and men. And these were made up
more largely of University students
and Italian laborers attracted by
the din Of the band and the ,whimsi-
cahties of the Iglee CLUB than OF res
ident- voters of Morgantown and
Monongalia county.
Judge Frank Fox presided at the
meeting. Glasscock who was the
first speaker, occupied about thir-
ty minutes. His talk was confin ed
TO felicitation OF the people of Nor
gantown, and "a few disconnected
references to state issues. S.urgiss
and Reed followed, EACH occupying
less time than Glasscock - But with
the beginning OF the speaking the
crowd broke, and by the lime SEN
ator Burrows rose to- speak It's
ranks had been so thoroughly dec
fmated that only a few of the Re-
publican residents of Morgan.own
who remained as a plain matter of
political ana citizen duty, were
present to hear him Disguised
with the whole afhair, Burrows, wAo
usually speaks 70 thousands. and
whose speeches occupy from an
hour and half to two hours. talk
cd less than thirty minutes, wnen
he closed his speech he went to his
hotel. The finale of this effor
compares favo-ably with what hap
pened at BlueAeld. Parkersburg,

that he was frozen out OF the Melvin
Sign Co. and the concern consolidated
with the so-called bill-posters' trust.
filed answers Tuesday morning to the
plaintiffs allegations.
The answers are almost similar. the
men denying that any action was TAX
en- without Mr.. Melvin's knowledge or
consent. They all claim that he was
present In every conference. and took
part In every discussion leading up to
the sale, and that many Of the mater
ial provisions OF the agreement under
which the company Joined with the
Bill Posters association we're In
serted at Mr.. Melvin's suggestion.
The Walkers go farther In their an
swer. and allege that Melvin was anx
ious to sell. and claim that because
of his mismanagement he had been
losing money steadily. They admit
taking over all the assets and mater
ial of the old Melvin company, esti
mating the stock at $4,000 and the
sign boards at $4,000.
On petition OF the defendants Judge
Mandell dissolved the restraining or
der under which the latter were re
strained from mixing the assets OF
the old and new companies. or dispos
ing of any OF the property. The dis
solution OF the injunction leaves the
company free to transact business.
