The Logical Candidate.

There is quite an array of gu
bernatorial candidates springing
up all over the state for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
This is a good omen and an iudi-
cation that the unwashed and I'M
terrified Democracy scent victory
in the air. In this it shall not
be disappointed. This year is go
ing to be Democratic one Just
as sure as Bill Dawson faxed the
people with his tax laws.
OF the gentlemen who are max
ing an active canvass for the
nomination THE ARGUS has moth
ing but the highest regard, and
should the nomination fall to
either one of them THE ARGUS
would consider it pleasure to
support them. They are all hon
est and capable and would grace
the executive chair with honor
and dignity. But THE ARGUS be-
lieves that personal friendship
should have no place in selecting
the Democratic standard-bearer
for 1908. On these grounds THE
ARGUS is frank in saying that it
Is for the most available candi-
date, the man that can poll the
united party strength and draw
heavily from the ranks of the
opposition. Have we n man that
can do this? Is he a stranger to
the people of West Virginia? No
He is known to every West Vir.
ginian and his name is n house
hold word. The Democrats low,
him for the enemies he has n 4de
They admire him for his sterling
honesty and for the courae .ou,
fight which he has made In Ih,
interest of the toiling masses.
Name him? Certainly. You al
know him, the Hon. John J. Corn
WELL He made the race in 1900
when the odds were ten to on,
against him and lost by a small
margin. With prosperity and tn,

sands of Republicans who voted
against John Cornwell in 1901
will vote for him in 1908. He i.
the one man whom the Republi
can machine fears. 1t is not un
mindful of his great popularity
with the masses. He is the logi
cal candidate and is entitled to ,
denomination without opposition
After the gallant fight which h,
made i'll 1904 why should he b,
expected to enter into a contes
for the nomination.? What doe!
1t matter that John Cornwell ha!
said that he is not a candidat,
and does not want the nomina
ton? AS an honored member o
the Democratic party he canno
refuse to accept a nomination
which his party has conferred
upon him. 1t will be the ofiic,
seeking the man.
To the Democrats Of West Viz
glnia The ARGUS would say, ac
wisely and nominate John J
Cornwell. He can defeat an,
candidate whom the Republican
may nominate. With Cornwel
as the standard-bearer Preston
would forget her "banner" for tn,
time being and record her name
in the Cornwell column.

1t is quite evident that the
minds of most congressman are
more fixed on their districts than
on the welfare of the whole coun-
try, so that il is just as we'll that

publican majority cannot even
agree on appropriation bills, let
alone such matters as emergency

agreed to dodge revising the tariff.

IN THE HOUSE

Washington, D. c., Mar. 25-In the
course OF Alb itter.- denunciation of
President Roosevelt on the floor Of
the house of representatives today,
Mr.. Stanley of Kentucky, compared
him with Alexander Hamilton whom
he designated as an obscure adven-
turer," and both of whom, he said,
had profound contempt for the con-
stitution and displayed everlasting i'm
patience with it's restraints. The
president was man who relished
glamor and who became intoxicated
by applause. On the other hand he
said Mr.. Bryan has the respect of the
country as a statesman and who was
trusted as man.
Apparently ignoring Mr.. Stanley's
remarks, Mr.. Cocks of New York
representing the presidents district
defended the president against a re-
cent attack of Mr.. Willet, who, while
representing another district, is 6
constituent of his colleague. Mr.. Will
let, replying, declared his complete
| ability to defend all that he had said
/ All the remarks were made during
the general debate on the agricultur
al appropriation bill, consideration o.
which had not been concluded wher
the house at 5:13 p. m. adjourned.

PRESIDENTS SPECIAL MESSAGE

PRESIDENTS SPECIAL MESSAGE
President Roosevelt's special mes.
sage to congress does not come UP
to the advance suggestions that have
been conveyed to us by special cor
respondents and press representatives
So far as any Indications of heat or
temper are concerned. It is tenn
perate and mildly worded document,
merely calling to the attention of
congress those things the president
believes should be enacted by law.
The average reader will agree that
legislation along the lines suggested
by the president is necessary and
wise. There can be no objection to
a law prohibiting child labor and
providing for proper employers liza
bility. The presidents suggestions for
the amendment of the antitrust law
are based upon what is deemed nee
essary by wise business sagacity.
There is no question but certain traf-
ffc agreements by railroads are not
only wise, but necessary The only
question is as to their propriety and
to this end the president suggests
their approval by the commissioner
of corporations and the right publ
city regarding them.
AS to tariff revision that is coming
and will be done by the republican
party. Nobody expects tariff revision
at this time. The right materials are
not at hand; the necessary informa-
tion has noe been gathered But the
suggestion that preliminary arrange
ments be made by congress to get
tho necessary Information and pre-
pare for wise revision of the tar
if is not ill timed
As to a permanent waterway COM
mission, the people Of the great
country along the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi river will approve such a
suggestion. 1t is in line with modern
thought and development.
There is nothing in the president
message to brighten anybody: mo
scolding, no extremism 1t merely
directs the especial attention of con
gress to certain things believed nee.
essary by the president.
