Hkersourg, w. va, July 2l.-
AT the conclusion this afternoon of
the Republican state committee
meeting, Chairman Grant gave out
significant interview. II 10 under.
stood that this is IN the nature of .
seml-ofiicial utterance aud was
carefully considered at the COM
mittee meeting.
The important feature Of it 10 the
suggestion, that while steadily sd.
herring to their principles, the
Scherr republicans serve public
notice that they would welcome .
primary election as means of
settlement of the party's differ
ences should the Swisher side see
ut to take up the challenge. The
interview is az follows:
GRANTS STATEMENT.
'fhat Swisbcr and the people
back of him fail TO understand the
true meaning Of the movement or
gained at the court house conven.
ton is plainly shown by the reports
they are giving out that Mr.. Scherr
is to be Withdrawn and to receive
something good in place of the
governorshiP. This movement is
not for offices. There are a good
many men in this movement who
have Offices now and who fully
understand that they are virtually
laying these Offices on the altar of
their party, being willing to lose
what they now hold, if need be, in
order that the republican party
may live. The movement was in.
augurated that tho republican party
might be a party of, for and by the
people; that the party should have
the right to choose it's candidates
and having chosen, it's mandates
should be obeyed by those in charge
of the party machinery.
LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
From the very inception of
Arnold &. Scherr's candidacy he
has been more than willing to let
the people decide whom they want
ed. He has been, il now, and
always will be, ready TO submit his
candidacy to primary elections. l
can say now that that way ~ sill
open for a settlement, providing a
state primary be held under the
direction Of both state committees
with each side equally represented
on the election boards and this need
not be confined TO the two cand,-
dates or TO the Office of governor.
but open to all candidates for all
state offices, except the judges. At
the same time state central com
mittee representative Of and elected
by the people to be chosen. That
is the underlying principle govern
ing the movement having it's Incep-
tion at the court house in Charles
ton, July 9Th, and no offers of
Office or influence can effect any
compromise which does not recog-
nize the right of the people 10

West Liberty Chautauaua.

The West Liberty Index in report
ing their Chautauqua which has just
closed says that after three days eff,
fort among the business men to secure
the promise of 700 tickets the result
was failure; but the three ministers
and the editor assumed the RESPONSE
bility and came out with a great vic
tory. He writes as follows:
every doubling Thomas was there;
the farmer was there in cushion tired
trap and automobile; the business
men we're there; the children were there
even the cook was there; everybody
was at Chautauqua. For six entire
days the whole populace ate out of
the cupboard until it became as bare
as that proverbial article once owned
by Old Mother Hubbard. During its
sessions the old town had much the
appearance of Goldsmith's Deserted
Village.
The Chautauqua closed Sunday night
after six days stand in a blaze of
glory. Nothing the town has ever had
so delighted the people. This is proven
by the pledge of season tickets for
next year. With a population of only
1923 the West Liberty people subscrib-
ed for 1852 tickets for the Chautauqua
of 1909"

GROVER CLEVELAND.

The death of Grover Cleveland re-
moves one OF the most unique and sub
stantial characters In our history. He
practised law In Buffalo, was elected
sheriff of Erie county, served as may
or of his home city, filed tho chair as
governor OF New York and the White
House at Washington. From his law
office to the presidency covered only
few years, his rise from obscurity
being rapid and eventual. He was n
man OF honesty, dignity and self con
iidence. Instead of reading his first
inaugural address, he delivered itfrom
memory to forty thousand people. His
work as president was heavy burden.
His party had been out for many years
and there was tremendous struggle
for seats at the first table. Great
pressure was brought to bear for APP
pointments, and Notwithstanding the
greatest care he made many mistakes
from which his administration suffer
ed. Mr.. Cleveland was u self-willed,
strong minded and conscientious man;
but he lacked much in tact and diplo-
macy. Instead OF gathering the lead
ers about him and organizing an army
to do his bidding and carry out his
plans, he stood alone, self-rellant and
many times defiant. Before the close
of his administration he imDrOyed nm
opportunity to show his patriotism in
a marked and determined manner,
which added much to his standing as
an executive and a citizen.

Some Queries.

Are not the squirrels becoming too
numerous in our town? A reasonable
number in the park and on our streets
Is beautiful and desirable, but Is it
best to have enough to destroy fruit
on our home lots and also make UNI
slightly litter on our lawns in building
their nests. Would IL not be we'll to
do away with the fine for killing the
squirrels until their number Is reduced
to about one third OF the present num-
ber2 That number preserved would
probably be sufficient to furnish In
crease enough at least for home con-
sumption. Hoping enough interest
will be taken in this to abate the nui-
sance and that the result can be ac-
complished as quickly and easily as
was the great lessenlng OF the nui-
sance Of the coaster wagon on our
side walks making life almost a bur-
den to the inhabitants. / am
