Allan Herbert, who is the Hawaiian
delegate to go with the committee to
notify Bryan of his nomination, will
probably return to the mainland in time
to carry out his work. His return yes
terday was on account of some urgent
private business, requiring his presence
here. The notification committee will
call at Fairview, Bryan IS home, some
time probable within the next thirty
days. and the other delegates hope that
Mr. Herbert will be able to be present
to represent Hawaii when the event
takes place.
Mr.. Herbert attracted great deal
of attention at Denver, establishing
himself as a bureau to talk about the
Islands.
S'There were plenty of inquiries
about Hawaii, y he said yesterday.
We were a regular information bu-
reau and gave all the information we
could about the Islands. People asked
particularly about land matters and
wanted TO know how many crops could
be raised yearly and whether land could
be gotten here for settling purposes.
1--WE had our rooms at the Savoy,
one of the best in Denver, for which
we paid $50 a day. We had big sign
across the front, with Hawaii showing
up fine. and we kept open house there.
At the convention building we had our
stall assigned as and we answered ques-
tions there as well. We worked for
Hawaii in many ways.
Bryan, | think, viii be elected.
Taft, YOU know. stands for sugar to De
brought in free from the Philippines
and Cuba. That would kill our sugar
industry, and that may have an effect
on the election.
=" Frank Harvey made a good impress
sion at Denver. He was quite favor
lite with Senators and big men gener-
ally, and what he had to say about Ha-
waii went long ways with them.
''We had a lot of fruits from the IS
lands whi,h We gave away at our
headquarters. They certainly did like
the Hawaiian pnearples.
That was a great convention. The
auditorium was erected especially for
conventions. It held $4,000 people.

The explosion was heard by Mr.. j.

-Four members of the committee

Railroad President Scores Both

'coundness OF the railroads of the coun-
try"
Continuing, he said: "The two great
political parties of the country, in
planning their Forthcoming presiden-
tial campaigns, make the sins of the
railroads and their management, and
drastic correction of the same. thei"
leading issues; and herein may be
found the. real underlying cause of all
the general, indIscriminate abuse of
the railways and their management,
and of the paralytic stroke which they
and all interests connected with them
have suffered. With great foresight
and shrewdness, those who have plan
ned and are responsible for this po-
litical programme have alIenated from
the railways the chief political intlu-
ence that they might and should have
every reason to expect would use
their influence to protect them against
a campaign of this kInd-their own
employees. This has been accomplished
by the passage of certain laws govern
ing the hours OF service, wages. con-
ditions of employment generally, and
others more far-reaching have been
promised and are now pending"

IN PERATION
IN TWO YEARS
SUCH is ASSURANCE GIVEN BY
3. AND N. OFFICIALS TO
COMMISSIONERS.

MoRGANToWN. Feb. 26.-The
west side railroad will be constructed,
and in operation within two years,
This is the assurance that was given
to Commissioners Fife and Holland
who were in P!ttsburg a day o. 50
ago for the purpose Of meeting the Of
flcIals Of thu road and arranging 70. q
barge and try TO he vsca "s free
ferry while the bridge is dow.
1t was the intention of the cn~''
missoners to get signed contract
with the officials OF the road to have
construction begin within two or
three years at the farthest and pro
vide that the franchise granted by
the court would expire in case this
was not done.
They found that Mr.. schoonmaker
was in Florida and that other high
officials were unable to be at their
Office because OF Illness but the Of
: ficials whom they saw stated that
there was not the slightest reason
FOR the contract not being signed and
that IT would receive immediate at
, tention.
Arrangements in conection with be
ginning work on the road have been
made and those who are interested in
the movement are entirely harmonl
ons 80 that there is now nothing In
the way but the weather, and work
on the construction will begin early
in the spring.
1t was agreed that the county
shall make the proposed changes in
the west approach to the bridge AMI
that the railroad company will pay
the difference between the new cost
and what It would have cost the
county had there been no change in
the plans for the bridge.

THE TROUBLE
IN KANAWHA
swIsHER PEOPLE SAY scHERR
GOT COLD FEET AND WANT.
Ed AN EXCUSE.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Feb. 26.-
Auditor A. c. Scherr's refusal to par
ticipate in the Kanawha county pri-
mary election. is no surprise to the
people of this county. Those in close
touch had prophesied that Mr.. Scherr
would make a move of this character,
as the sentiment here is, and has al
ways been since the contest for the
gubernatorlal nomination began, over
whelmfng for Secretary OF State
Swisher. No one realized this more
than Mr. scherr and his managers. 1t
was clear-cut proposition to them
that Scherr could not carry this coun-
ty, and that some move must be made
to relieve his candidacy from receiv-
ing fatal blow at the outset. and. at
the same time, make it appear to the
balance Of the State that he was not
receiving square deal. On the con.
trary. the county committee treated
him with fairness. appointing com
missioners in every precinct favorable
to his cause wherever they could be
found. Mr.. Scherr, 1t is evident, is
seeking to cast a taint on the delega-
ton, and to make 1t appear to the
balance of the State that Secretary
Swisher cannot get the delegation
from this county at fair primary.
The fact is, as every visitor to this
city during the Legislative session
knows, the sentiment in Charleston
and Kanawha county is overwhelm-
ingly for Secretary Swisher, and there
never has been, and there isn't now,
any question but he will get the fifty
nine delegates from Kanawha, which
is more than one-eighth enough to
nominate. Mr.. Scherr says he will
appeal to the State committee, whicn
passed on a similar case four years
ago and found against the complain
ant; so. scherr will not win out there,
and doubtless does not expect to. But
to cause wrong impression through
out the State. is evidently his sole
purpose in making this Unnecessary
and unjustfed contention.
Astute politicians say that this
move is the first formal notice to the
public of the weakening Of the scherr
candidacy. and it means continual
weaking from now on. The Scherr
people. many of them. express amaze
lnent, and no little disgust that such
confession of weakness should be
publicly made so early in the game.
The commissioners appointed by the
committee to hold the primary March
Z are representative men. Three of
them are out of Auditor scherr's own
office, and one of them is his son,
Walter.
