The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-04-08

Ing. There Is one man In Fairmont
who has been candidate for six differ
ent offices within the short space of
four years. That seems preposterous,
but 1t is true. In 1904 he, was n cam
didate for the House OF Delegates
from Marion county and was nonl-
mated and elected. He at once be-
gan to lay his plans for the speaker
ship OF the House and announced HIS
candidacy for the same. About the
opening of the session, he thought
that was most too small a place and
he announced himself us a candidate
for the United States Senate. Not
making connection with either of
those. he introduced bill to create
the Office OF Lieutenant Governor, and
had the bill become n law, he had nj.
ready made 1t known to his friends
that he would seek to be the first
man to fill the place. That measure
failed to pass, and two years ago he
announced as n candidate for Con.
gress and now he thinks he is In the
race for the nomination for State Sem
ate. A chrome is offered MS a reward
Tor the person who sends In the first
correct guess as to the name OF the
man so badly afflicted with office

ness. church and other circles in the
community and we believe the Re
publicans OF Marion county will not
endorse the aspersions OF the Demo-
cratic organ toward these men. The
tried and true Republicans In all parts
of the county know these men and
what they have done for Republican
success, and they know further. that
their every effort is for the upbulld-
Ing of the whole party and IL occa-
sionally unworthy people seek prefer
ment and can't get their endorsement
that ought to make these real, dyed
in-the-wool Republicans all the strong

make their campaign solely on the
ground that they are not In harmony
with such loyal men as have been
here mentioned will undoubtedly fin,l
that the people will give them Sc
we're rebuke Mt the polls and they will
richly deserve such setting down.
The masses OF the. people soon learn
the game OF such candidates and they
are pretty hard to fool very long.
