The Central Republican, published
by Mr.. Fred Moore at Belington, Bar
bour county, recently sent out letters
to the editors OF West Virginia Repub-
lican newspapers asking their choice
for the nomination for President.
The following shows the result:
IAN expression from twenty-slx of
the leading Republican papers in
West Virginia shows me following
results: Eighteen think that the
State will go unanimously for Taft,
while three are bitterly opposed to
him and five are Indifferent and do
not seem to have ever heard that
there would be an election this
year. A number of inquiries are out.
but the above represents twenty.six
counties of the State. There is now
but little question where the rank and
file of the Republicans of the State
are. A few weeks ago they would
have stood as a unit for President
Roosevelt, but now that he has elm.
mated himself they turn to the next
choice. The genial secretary is very
popular among the masses OF the PEG.
pie of the State as well as his own
State. A number of politicians of the
State are predicting that he will be
nominated on the first ballot, a thing
which Is likely to occur"

The work of the school teacher in
showing the evil effects OF alcohol on
the human system is evidently begin
ming to tell on the liquor business. A
Pittsburg paper yesterday ran a three
column advertisement of brewing
company, the purpose of which was
to belittle the "twaddle" taught by
the school master. The school master
reaches more people than that Pitts
burg paper does and Mt a time when
what he says makes an impression,
so it is up to the school teacher to
keep on showing the evil effects Of
alcohol on the brain and heart of the
people who use 1t.

THE BATTLE OF 1896 TO BE
FOUGHT OVER IN Il

Events of the past few days have
cleared the political atmosphere to a
remarkable degree and set the people
to thinking along new lines. There is
scarcely a doubt now that the mighty
battle for: supremacy between the two
4 great parties In 1908 will be fought
out on lines very similar to those Of
1896. It is practically conceded that
the candidates will be Taft and Bry-
an. the former representing in some
what more conservative way than
Roosevelt the policies of the Republic
can party which have given this
country period of the greatest pros
perity in its history and the latter
representing the elements of discon-
tent, the. short-sighted socialist, the
harum-scarum spendthrift, what there
is left Of the remnant of FRAGILE beard
ed populism, some well meaning and
conscientious Democrats. who are sor-
ny the party has wandered so long in
by and forbidden paths. and a few
politicians who, think sooner or later
things must take turn and 1t might
be this year, hence they stand by Bry-
an, That is a motley crowd. but who
says we oyerdraw the picture? It
seems probable from the actions Of
some more or less venal and thick
headed labor leaders that they will be
silly enough to wander OF after
strange gods and support a candidate
who never has done anything but
talk" for the laboring man and who
voted against his interests when he.
was a member of Congress years ago.
Mr.. Bryan opposed the policy of pro-
lection under which the American Ia
boring man gets better wages than the
wage earners in any other land. II
labor organizations want to follow
such loud mouthed pretender as Bry-
an in preference to their real friends.
the line OF battle had just as well be
drawn one time as another. Labor
organizations are all right when cor
rectly led and conservativeIy run and
they do much good for the working
man, but when leaders of questionable
integrity get hold OF the reins and
run the unions into politics then the
good accomplished by many years of
effort Is placed in jeopardy. Such
men cannot run the politics nor the
business Of this country. The business
men Of the land won't stand for it,

The Ferry.

Editor West Virginian:
The ferry service this week Is ex-
cellent, and all that could be desired.
The main cause for all the complaint,
(having to wait five and ten minutes
after the crowd was all on for the boat
to start has disappeared.) The man
in charge don't have so much to look
after each trip in the engine house as
he did, but stays on the boat and at
tends to his part OF the ferry strictly,
which is the main cause for the now
excellent service and nobody has i
word, but praise for the present sy3-
TEN. Our people don't think a new
boat or any other way will make things
better than this week. If the boys had
run the present boat to suit the peo.
pie, in stead OF themselves, there
would have been no complaint from
any one. But they were in charge,
and seemed to want to impress that
fact on all, and do It every trip they
made, and the goose that lays the
golden eggs for them is killed, and
some outsiders will now gather them
in from the county barnyard. When
the public tickles you. you are the one
that should tickle back. X.

Yours truly,


The bridge will be paid for out of
the bridge fund" levied by the Coun.
ty Court for that purpose. The Fair
mont and Clarksburg Traction Com
pany will pay about one-third of the
cost, or $4,000. on the bridge. 1t is
very foolish for anybody to raise a
howl over the building of the bridge,
for it had to be built and the law
plainly says that the county must
build all bridges. A greater percent

In Washoe county such an orga-

According to the Reno Journal, the
state organ of Democracy the Demo-

of Senator Newlands and others have
selected the Democratic candidates
for senator in the counties of Nevada
for the coming election. In Nye

ed Judge l.. o. Ray and George w.

Esmeralda county they have selected
Joseph Hamilton as the candidate.
Mr.. Hamilton was a member of the
last legislature and voted against the

of Nye, was also a member of the
last legislature but voted for the
bill. The factional fight In Esmer-

Gilbert read the news that Evans
