The .Attorney General ,

The action of Governor Dawson in
appointing William G. Conley as At
torney General OF the state to sue
coed the late Attorney General May,
has met with the approval of the
people throughout the state. Mr..
Conley Is one OF the states leading
lawyers and is eminently fitted for
the important office to which he has
been appointed. He is before the
people as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for the office, and
has made clean and winning fight.
In every county where he was given
chance he forged ahead of his
competitors and won the delegates.
His nomination was practically as
sured and his appointment to fill the
unexpired term OF the late most able
official will make his nomination and
election a certainty.
As was announced by Governor
Dawson, the Virginia suit now pend
ing made It necessary to act imme-
diately in the appointment of a sue
cessor to General May. Out of re-
spect to the late Attorney General
Governor Dawson would have pre-
ferred to postpone the appointment
In order to be fair TO all candidates
he would have waited until after the
state nominating convention. But
the appointment at that time be-
came necessary and Mr.. Conley's APP
parent lead in the race, in addition
to his qualifications to the high Of
fee. made him the feasible candidate
for the place.
Attorney General Conley is ma
tive of Preston county, and though
thrown upon his own resources early
in life he las by his untiring energy
and indomitable viii placed himself
high up in the legal profession of the
state. Graduating from the State
University he began the practice OF
law in Tucker county and was later
twice elected prosecuting attorney,
the second time by the largest ma
jority ever given Republican in that
county. He has been active in poll
tics and did much to put Tucker
county safely within the Republican
column. Five years ago he returned
to his native county and soon forged
his way to the front OF the Preston
county bar.
The one great important duty con-
fronting the attorney general of this
state at his time is the Virginia debt
suit. Mr. Conley has already entered
into this case with his characteristic
energy and West Virginia's interests
will. be carefully looked after by him
and his associates.

unjust "a coof Onelra,ors

The following unjust statement
has been going the rounds OF the
press:
"A coal famine is threatened for
the Northwest the coming winter, as
It Is predicted that instead Of 49,
100000 tons OF coal, which the
Northwest must have to keep warm.
there win probably be only 5000, 900
tons shipped. The shipments to the
lakes have been very heavy from this
district the last few days and It is
expected that next week viii see the
trade open in full as it is expected
that all the lake boats will be put in
service by that time.
The blame for the threatened
famine is placed ON the actions OF
West Virginia coal company. In the
past the railroads have had trouble
every winter through congestion on
the railroads OF the Northwest, be-
cause the dealers held off until the
fall or early winter before placing
their orders for coal. Last year the
railroad officials held conference
and suggested that the dealers place
their orders early and that the rail-
roads store the coal deferring the
freight charges until October. This
proved satisfactory until December,
when West Virginia company cut
the price of coal 40 cents a ton and
now the dealers refuse to buy coal
for next winters consumption this
summer"
The condition as stated above does
not apply to this field or section Of
the state and operators hero do not
believe 1t applies to any coal COM
pany or operator in the state as ev-
cry operator is ever anxious to ship
coal when the iron ore boats are
started from the Northwest.
All coal for the Northwest Is
started In shipment at the lakes
when the iron people bring their ore
companies here started to load all
the boats on this side of the lakes
they could get under charter and
paid five and half cents ton stor-
age for coal on the boats before
they could start to the Northwest.
The Fairmont Coal Company has
more coal sold that can possibly be
delivered, the matter of iron ore
coming down being dependent
condition. It is loading every boat
It can get under charter and has
been all the time.
Coal operators resent Justly the.
imputation that they are attempting
to cause coal famine and pro-
nounce the statement quoted above
as grossly Illogical.

which would maintain the river at
an almost constant stage throughout
the year.
The report contains a table show
ing the height of the dams suggested
and what service they would. do, OF
the PROPOSED dam across the West
Fork above the city. It says 1t should
be one hundred and nine feet high
which will give reservoir capacity
of 24,700 million cubic feet or a>ca-
pacIty. in catchment area OF $50
square miles. making the area OF
flow line 1900 acres. The Elk
creek dam will be 80 feet high with
considerably less capacity as the
character of the topography diners
considerably.
The intent of the government in
maintaining such dams would be to
retain the entire years. flow until
such time as the conditions make
It necessary to use the water for pur-
poses OF navigation.
With such dams a reality there
would be an effect on the water sup
ply Of Clarksburg. though coming
from the West Fork. and Just what
adaptation would be needed is not de-
vised as yet. Whether the plan to
be outlined in the proposed bond Is
sue would be suitable and seryIceable
in that event is mere conjecture, hut
1t is reasonable owing to the transfer
nation OF conditions that such plan
would be not only inadequate but en-
tirely worthless.
This is feature that should be
given serious consideration as 1t will
very materially affect the situation,
If such dams be established.

Future Water snnnlr.

In connection with the subject of
a bond issue for water works and
other improvements, there is at this
time considerable discussion as 10
the intentions of the national govern
ment in this section and what eff
fects its action will have on the water
supply of the city.
1t is accepted that Congress will
be asked to make an appropriation
for. number of dams in West Vir-
ginia which are to become important
in navigation, and among these will
be one across the West Fork river
just above the city and there will be
another at point a short distance
up Elk creek.
The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
through the United States Geological
Survey, in a recent circular has gone
exhaustively into this subject and
found 1t practical to build such dams
along with many others in the state.
as we'll as in other states and it SO
recommends.
That department of the govern
ment says the West Fork river is
readily adapted for navigation as far
up as this city, with the depth which
can be easily maintained at low
water. either by the method of chan
mel adjustment or by conservation. II
further says one-half the flow of the
West Fork river can he controlled

swisrer is thc Winner.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
few subsidized newspapers are busily
engaged in trying to make the i'm
preston that Scherr has chance of
nomination. 1t is generally accepted
that Charles w. Swisher will be the
nominee for governor.
Newspapers over the state which
speak from an unbiased viewpoint
and without hope of reward, except
approval for faithful service to the
people and the party especially are
outspoken in the assertion that
Swisher VIII be the winner. Below
is sample from the Huntington
Herald:
Notwithstanding all other claims
to the contrary. 1t now seems that the
Secretary of State has the governor
ship nomination cinched beyond any
reasonable doubt. Mr.. Swisher
claims 514 votes on the first ballot
which is IL more than the number
required to nominate, and, while this
claim may be little strong, 1t is
generally conceded that he will get
a very large majority of the contest
ed delegations, and 1t is considered
that this fact alone assures his nomi-
nation. Reports that have fioated
down the river from Ohio county re-
Gently, show strong sentiment in
his favor in that county and he will
get part, if not an of ohio's So
votes.
The Wheeling Intelligencer still
harps on the dark horse theory. The
way things look now, even that
theory has no legs to stand on. and

A Truthful Euloey

Though brief no more truthful
eulogy was ever pronounced of a
man than what the Grafton Republi-
can says OF Charles W. swlsher and
none read 1t without being Impress
ed with the splendid character of the
man and his service. Here It is:
Charley Swisher has been a hard
working Republican all the days OF
his life; he comes from Republican
family; Is a son of a Union soldier
who answered to the call Of his coun-
try; he has been a firm friend OF
tax reform; he IS true to his friends
and liberal with his enemies; he gives
his means and his efforts always for
the advancement of the political par
ty of which he is member. These
are few Of the reasons why he Will
be nominated for Governor of West
Virginia next Wednesday.

Preston Named Fer President by
SOc.alisI Labor Party
AN "HOMEST W0RKINGMAN"
Has Not Reached Age Required by
Constitution For Chief Executive
OF United States, but Ii Is Declared
That 1t "Makes No Difference

Candidates for president and vice
president of the United States were
nominated and a platform was adopted
by the national convention of the So
cialist Labor party at New York. The
ticket named is as follows:
For president, Martin II. Preston of
Nevada; for vice president Donald
Munroe of Virginia.
The nomination of Preston for presi-
dent was unanimous and the announce
ment of the result was received by
delegates and audience with wild APP
plause. The candidate was placed in
nomination by Daniel De Leon, who
as IAN honest wOrkingman, not pro
fessional workingman," and added
THE name of that man is Martin II.
Preston, and he is now in Jail at Gold
field. New. Preston is in Jail today for
conduct that is honorable and which no
workingman should be ashamed Of"
De Leon later explained that Preston
had been sentenced to twenty-five
years Imprisonment in Nevada for
shooting a restaurant keeper in Gold
field three years ago during a strike In
which Preston. De Leon asserted, had
acted as the protector of defenseless
girls and by so doing had enraged
restaurant keeper named Silver. Sill
yer, De Leon added, was shot by Pres
ton while threatening to kill the latter
De Leon said he knew that Preston
had not reached the age which the
Constitution says a president of the
United States must be, but he de-
clared that made no difference. at is
for the working class to elect Preston"
he said, land if he is elected he will be
seated. Constitutions are for the peO-
pie and not the people for the Constitu-
tons"
A telegram was sent TO Preston
notifying him of his nomination. Vice
Presidential Candidate Munroe was
likewise notified and is expected to be
present to take part in the meeting for
the ratification of the ticket to be held
in Cooper Union here tonight.
The platform is identical with the one
adopted by the party four years ago,
and declares for the substitution of the
cooperative commonwealth "fOr the
present state of painless production,
industrial war and social disorder"
After empowering the national eX-
ecutive committee to fill vacancies on
the ticket, should any occur, the con-
vention adjourned sine die.
