DAWSON COMES
OUT FOR TETER
GOVERNOR FAvoRs BIG BARBOUR
COUNTY MAN FOR DELE
oATE-AT-LAReE.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 12.-Charles
F. Teter, of Philippi, who in 1904 was
a candidate for the Republican nomi'
nation for governor and was defeated
by Governor Dawson, is a candidate
for election as delegate-at-large to the
Republican National convention at Chi
cago. Mr.. Teter announced Taft as
his preference at the time of the Re;
publican State committee meet last
month.
1t has been current gossip that Mr.
Teter's aspiration would be opposed
by Governor Dawson and h's friends
and that the old sores of four years
ago would be opened uptz-Asked- about
this report, Governor Dawson said:
"This talk is without foundation.
do not oppose Mr.. Teter's aspiration
to be elected as delegate-at-large, In
fact. his selection by the convention
would be entirely satisfactory to me-
He and l stand for the same choice;
we favor the nomination of Secretary
Taft. Personally and politically Mr.
Teter's selection for this honor meets
with my approval"
This frank declaration is of decided
Importance to the State Republican pO
litical situation. 1t indicates the sin
cere aim of Governor Dawson to heal
up old wounds in the party growing out
Of the sensational campaign for nom
ination four years ago. He has pur
sued this policy during the greater
part of his administration. treating
those who opposed him and who SHOW
ed a friendliness with marked fair
ness. A number of his appointees are
men who opposed him hardest.

= d i gHHats = i. j.
WHEELING, Feb. l2.-That the B.
and o. viii within few months have
. competitor in the Eeld for the trade
throughout West Virginia from Wheel.
ing to Grafton. is evident from re-
cent interview gIyep out by Presi-
dent Delano, Of the Wabash railroad,
in which he said that 1t was the in
tention Of his company to complete
the construction Of the through line
from Wheeling to Cumberland, Md,
,shere it will connect with lines al
ready owned by this company running
into that city.
The Wabash now has a line which
extends practically all the way from
Cumberland to Grntton via Tygart's
Valley and the completion Of the road
10 wheeling would make big epoch
iii the railroad history of the coun.
Try. Already thcre has been a route
surveyed from Grafton to Moundsvllle
and from the interview mentioned
above as given out by President De.
lano. work will be started on the new
division some tine this year, pro-
vided finances for constructing the
road can be had.
Following the route surveyed the
road will practically parallel the Graf
ton and Wheeling division of the
D. and o. and will pass through the
richest coal regions Gf the State. At
l.ittleton the road will diverge from
the B. and o. and go down Fish Creek
.alley. and in this manner cut out
one of the biggest hills on the main
line of the B. and o. This valley will
be followed almost its intersection
WITH the Ohio river, when the road
will turn and come into Wheeling via
Moundsville.
This massive piece of work, Presl-
dent De1ano inttmeted, would be un-
dertaken by the Wheeling and Lake
E:ie branch, and Ifs.- the Wabash Is
successful in its efforts and desires
to enter Wheeling on its own lines,
this would give the Wheeling and Lake
Erie a through line from Cumberland
to. Cleveland, Toledo, Plttsburg and
ether points west ' ia Wheeling.
