Il il Is an old saying You held inc

not been getting her share Of the help
from her sister counties In the 18th
Senatorial district and we don't think
thst our $500 Republican majority
that we have been rolling up each cleo
tsar rear Is receiving the recognition
that 1t should. Now that we have
candidate for State Senate. and one
that we want, and one that can get a
solid delegation from this county. a
man possessed Of strong business quail.
IAcation. executive ability. sterling
Republican and well qualified in ev.
cry way to fill the ONCE Of State sena.
tor That man is Hon. ]. W. Flynn.
Of Kingwood. It will be remembered
that the present Incumbent only had
two delegates from this county four
years ago and can't get any more this
time II he is a candidate. which goes
to show that he is not the choice of
the people where he is best known.
Mr.. Flynn would have received the
nomination in 1904 had not unfair tao.
tics been resorted to and had not some
of'the counties that We have been help.
ing for years laid down on him at the
last hour but we are reliably inform.
ed that that breach has been healed,
and that when the convention day
comes Flynn will be there with a ma.
jorIty of the delegates. Help us elect
Mr. Flynn and we will help you.
Now that West Virginia has much
at stake in the Virginia debt question,
the state boundary line and other kin.
dred interests 1t behooves the voters
to look well into a mans ability and
past record before electing him to any
Office. and especially is this true Of
the Attorney Generalship. We should
have broad minded, far.seeing, capa-
BILE and forceful lawyer for this very
important office and such a man can
be found in the person of Hon. w. G.
Conley. of Kingwood. He Is not un-
known to the voters of this stnte AMI
has helped to win many a hard fought
battle for the Republican party by'hIs
eloquence of speech and forceful ar.
gument. He is a man of unquestiona-
BILE character. ability. a life long Re
publican and is possessed of every trait
that tends to make a competent and
careful Official. From the fact that
Mr.. Conley is the only Prestonian that
Is seeking place on the State ticket.
we think that his claims should be rec
ognized. We have times without num-
Der helped other counties to lift their
favored sons to place OF high honor,
and now we think It is our turn for
help. We tickled you, SO now 1t is our
turn lot some OF the tlckling.
There Is one other candidate that
our people are manlfesting much inter
est in. and that is Col. John T. Harris.
candidate for Secretary of State. While
here last summer Mr.. Harris made
many friends that will stick to him
until the last ditch is crossed. To know
him is to admire him and his ability
is beyond question.

Geo. C. sturgiss for Congress. Swish.
