1t Is asserted that one, of the princl'
pal causes for the poor construction Of
roads is that the tenure of office Of
highway commissioners is uncertain
and that III most cases the office goes
to the candidate who can secure the
most votes. Politics. as we have often
said, should in nowlse bo factor when

streets, says the Good Roads Maya
Zinc. Improved road building is n new
art, and a competent road builder. like

his worth has been proved he should

efficient and keeps up with the march
of progress In his line of work. So
long as the office of highway commits.
sioner Is elective the voters of town
ship should SEQ that the best man Is
nut in the office and then reelected.
Much has lately been said in regard to
making the office of highway commits
sioner appolntlve and strictly under
civil service rules. Much can be said
in favor of this plan. but until laws
are changed competent officials should
be retoined.

where he graduated in law. He
carly located in Lewis county, and
in 1890 was elected to the House OF
Delegates, and when the legisle-
ture convened he was chosen speak

he displayed that firmness, fairness
and knowledge of the law and leg

forests; he is not allied with any
faction in the Democratic party
and it is reasonable to suppose that
if he we're the nominee of his par
ty he would inspire harmony and
enthusiasm among the rank and
file of voters; he is man of sufti'
oient means of his own to bear the
necessary expenses of his oam-
paign without even the suspicion
that suoh expenses are furnished by
others in confederation of business
or political favor to follow.
Mr.. Bennett would make an ideal
governor He is a highminded
gentleman of the old school, an
able iurist, conservative, broad
minded democrat who puts his be-
lief in the Jeffersonian doctrine Of
equal rights, If his party shall
nominate him it will have no 90
oasion to regret it, and If he shall
be elected, West Virginia will have
a governor of whom che may well
be proud. Illustrated Month

AS the time for the State Con,
yention approaches it grows more
evident that Louis Bennett will re-.
oeiye the nomination on the first
ballot, with votes to spare, and
there will be no bolt either. The
Democracy are united. and every
man will take off his GOAT and work
for the ticket.

a WORD ABOUT OUR CAND1-
\ DATE.

Weston Democrat.
On the Goth day of THE month,
the Democratic party will meet in
a convention at Charleston for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for Governor of West Virginia,
and for tho further purpose of
naming a state ticket
Democrats from all over the state
will be in attendance. as we'll as
many Republicans. and at this
time we are inclined to the opinion
that the convention will be the
most harmonious gathering in this
state for the past twelve or sixteen
years,
Hon. Louis Bennett. Lewis
County's candidate for the govern.
orship. is the strongest candidate
for the office. Adam Littlepage
and Professor Hodges are the other
gubernatorial aspirants. and Mr..
Littlepage has already made sew
eral political speeches, along cam.
paign lines. Professor Hodges
has been less active, but is gener.
ally understood to be a receptive
candidate for the nomination.
Two weeks before the oonven.
ton we predict that all the honor
and glory will be bestowed upon
our candidate. We think that he
has enough instructed votes to
nominate him, and will go 30 far
as to say that it will be Bennett on
the first ballot. If he Is the nomi-
nee Lewis county will for the first
time in it's history have a candidate
for the governorship-a candidate
who will not stand for bossism, one
who will redeem the Democracy of
West Virginia at the election in
November.
There is no man in the state who
is better fitted for this high office
than Mr.. Bennett. He is gen.
tleman of the old school, a lifelong
Democrat, and a man with wide
and far-reaohing popularity.
It is useless for us to portray the
excellent qualities of our oandi-
date. He lie known to almost every
man, woman and child in Lewis
county, is we'll liked and has been
in the public eye for the past quar-.
ter century. If nominated Mr.
Bennett will have the 90 operation
of many dissatisfied Republicans
He is known all over the state, and
his great popularity is evidenced
by the number of delegates in
struoted for him.
