OVER 1900
Is Glasscock's Plurality for
Governor of West
Virginia.

William E. Glasscock's majority
grew as the complete returns came
in from the various counties. Com
plete figures from all the counties
were obtained today and disclosed
that Mr.. Glasscock was 1920 to the
good over Bennett. The reason his
plurality is Increased Is because the
estimates placed on Benefits plur-
alities i'll Democratic counties proved
to be too high while those placed on
Glasscock's majorities in Republican
counties were too low. The size of
the majority certainly indicates the
political sagacity of Chairman S. v.
Matthews. who contended from the
start Mr.. Glasscock would not have
less than $4,000. 1t was certainly a
glorious victory.
Taft plurality in the state is he
tween $4,000 and $1,000.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE Nation
al Association of Manufacturers pub
lIshed in the current issue OF Ameri-
can Industries. its official magazine,
a continuation of the statements on
trade conditions contributed by its
5000 members, representing every
branch of industry. The first ser
les of their statement showing inn
provement in conditions, appeared in
the October 18th issue OF the maya
zine. The series now published in
dfcates a continuation of this inn
provement and for the most part an
optimistic view of business outlook.
kilograms were also sent prior to
the election TO number Of the as
ISOLATION members, asking them to
state specifically how many work
ingmen would be added to their
present force by. December 1st, If
nothing occurred to shake COM
mercial confidence. A resume of the
information contained in these re-
plies Is also given by the magazine
as follows:
The percentage of replies receiv-
ed indicate that an average of 1$5
men will be added to the majority of
manufacturing plants in the assQcia-
ton by December s1st. The percent
ages show that at least one-halE of
the 1000 members of the National
Association of Manufacturers expect
to add TO. their force, more than 200
900 workingmen.
Taking this as basis" says the
article, at Is safe to assume that
the $4,000 manufactures which ac-
corafng to the census OF 1900, en-
ployed an average each of 100 men
or over. will add at least SO per ce-t.
to their present force. making total
in round figures of 65O.OOO men. In
other words with the continuance OF
business confidence, the important
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try will be enabled to increase their
present force by more than half
million worktngmen to meet the
market demands for their products.
I'm securing this Information
Democratic and Republican manufac-
turers alike were addressed. No
attempt was made to limit the can
vass to any particular industry or
to any particular section of the coun-
try and the queries to the manufac-
turers were based solely upon actual
business conditions and business
possibilities for the future"

 Some coIlege-bred folks seem to have been winded in the race.
 
 The unkindest cuts we get fall from the lips -that ought to frame our apologies.
 TO condemn the traduced without q hearing is never honorable. Failures are oftimes our greatest helps. They show the weak spots. A man in the .'dumps' has no busi- ness making speech on deformities. It Is safer to be a ffrst-class thinker than a second-class philosopher The storms cannot shake the man content with an humble task. Hoii your head high and go straight forward Yolfil reach the goal. Some men who pray in the meet ing.house prey in the market-placeA No apologies are needed for the man who is striking straight from the shoulder.
 No man bears more than he is able to bear. Overloaded machinery stops.
