State Penitentiary at

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 2s-The

Connection with the arrest OF Joe
Chancellor. q colored paroled prison.
er. who was returned to serve out
his term OF ten years few days ago,
BY Captain J. L. Sims. from Sutton.
w. Va. Lately circulars containing
the photographs and records Of miss
ing paroled prisoners. who have vio-
lated the conditions of their freedom,
have been sent to every city in ey-
cry state In the Union.
The chief OF police of Clarksburg
received the circular and knew where
TO lay his hands on Chancellor. He
telegraphed to Sutton. several miles
away and asked the chief OF that
town to arrest Chancellor and hold
him. The chief OF Sutton did as he
was asked. But he had no sooner ar
rested Chancellor than he received
one Of the circulars showing that
there was $50 reward for his capture.
Then he insisted on getting the
money himself. He called up War
den Gould and told him he had his
man. The warden wondered at the
time why he seemed to be so anxious
about the reward. But the chief at.
Clarksburg also wanted the reward.
and he called up the warden and
told him about the arrest. The
clarksburg chief got the $50 because
he turned the prisoner over to Cap
tain Sims. But he pribably gave up
half of 1t to the chief at Sutton.

quick response. The committee
adopted Immediately resolution:
That 1t will accept NO individual
contributions above $4,000.
One Of the big peals OF Democratic
campaign thunder is that the Demo.
cratic party is conducting pure and
righteous campaign in the matter OF
contributions. While there may be
nothing improper in the Haskell CON
tributlon, still there are inquiring
Americant who want to know II that
100000 still bears any OF the Stand
ard OIL faint which, according to the
strong intimations Of President
Roosevelt. clings about the person of
the now down and out Haskell. AT
any rate they have seen the holy
Bryan himself provide rule of
righteousness and then permit 1t to
be ruthlessly broken and they strong
ly suspect 1t was broken on other
occasions when the cat remained in
the bag.

|BROADDUS BOARD
TO Be INCREASED
Number of Trustees to Be Rails
ed to Fifteen to Serve
Three Years.

Broaddus Institute is about to
make a radical change such as was
advocated few years ago by the
Telegram In the matter of the tenure
OF the board of trustees of that insti-
tuition
|. It Is recalled that the Telegram
pointed out that the board is one
that perpetuates itself. This feature
was felt to be Objectionable and
many baptists throughout the state
were aroused to a sense Of the cor
rectness of the kilograms conten-
ton. As a result the agitation for a
change in this respect reached the
general association OF the denomina-
ton and after some time steps were
begun to make the desired change.
Obstacles were found but these are
being gradually overcome. and It has
arrived at the point where the Insti-
tute has decided TO increase the
number OF trustees to fifteen and the
length of tenure in Office to be three
years. In other words, five trustees
are to be elected every year and the
board is to be comprised of fifteen
members.
The manner OF the selection of the
members of this board is now the
only question. The Institute offered
to select three each year and permit
the General Association to choose
two each year. This appears to be
not quite satisfactory to the associa-
ton and Its proposition is that 1t be
allowed to nominate two persons for
each place on the board and that the.
Institute select the members from
such nominations.
The last named proposition might
have been decided yesterday after
noon. when the board held meeting,
but the majority of the members were
not present at the Institute and the
matter was deferred until the ses-
,sions OF the General association in
Petersburg the middle Of October,
when the board will hold meet
ing.

Democracy Paralyzed.

The candidacy of Hon. William E.
Glasscock for governor of West vir-
ginia has evidently paralyzed the
Democracy of the state. The Demo
cratic leaders are under the necessity
Of admitting that he is a man among
men. They have to admit that he is
an honest man, they have to concede
that he is typical Republican, they
must acknowledge his high ability.
The life OF the man is above re-
proach. 1t has been simple, plain
and honest. He is citizen in pri-
vate life, who has been and is pure.
In public life he. has been faithful,
efficient and conscientious and his
acts have all been in behalf of the
people, one of whom he is in the
true sense OF the term.
The humblest citizen will have the
attention and consideration of Hon.
William E. Glasscock as governor Of
1.-THE state. He is no aristocrat. What
his success has been has been due to
his own effort. Vast fortune is not
his.
Even in the trying times OF the
campaign between Swisher and
Scherr. when the party threatened to
be rent asunder and Democrats be-
came hopeful, Hon. William E. Glass
cock stood out for fairness to all, as
his acts as member Of the old state
committee proye most conclusfyeiy.
and party triumph was ever the bur-
den of his heart. No act OF his IN
that memorable contest was such as
to deprive him now of the united
support OF the Republicans of West
Virginia.
With man of such splendid pri-
yate and public life and with the
state naturally in the Republican
column, it is not passing strange that
the Democratic leaders are paralyzed
completely.

All for Glasscock.

Arnold Scherr's home paper, the
Mountain Echo. at Keyser, by the
following utterances, shows what the
Republican hosts in that part of the
state are going to do at the polls
November 3: ,H
William E. Glasscock has become
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor of West Virginia and deserves
the support of every Republican
voter in the state regardless of past
differences or factional affiliations.
He is a self-made man in the true
sense of the word and is, not swell
ed up" over his achievements. Nc
true word can be spoken against his
personal character or lis qualities
lions from an educational point Of
view. He has served his county as
superintendent of schools, and clerk
of the circuit court, is a lawyer by
profession and for three years has
been collector OF internal revenue fol

ginia. In every position he has been
called to fill he has made most ex,
cellent record. 1t can truly be said
of him that he Is worker and ne

been or ever will be slighted.

For County Commissioner.
JOHN B. sTRoTHER.
Haskeil's Contribution.

The Telegram has said all along
that William Jennings Bryan is a
political faker and that he anc the
managers of his campaign have vain
ly and hypocrltically endeavored to
ride their craft on the crest of the
popular morality wave. Not every
person took 1t for granted that Bryan
and his crowd had secured a monop-
oily of the morality market. In the
recent excitement and terror in the
Democratic camp. caused by rapid
lodging of the Roosevelt bombshells,
the cat accidentally slipped out of the
Democratic campaign bag. The Hon.
Moses Cincinnatus Wetmore, chair
man of the Bryan finance committee,
was the medium through whom the
feline escaped. Said he:
Haskell resign? guess not. He
gave me 100000 on Monday as his
contribution to the campaign fund. >
Who has forgotten that on July IA
In Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan addressed the
Democratic national committee. ant
speaking for himself and Mr.. Kern
presented request" in which wa,

we suggest for your approval
maximum of $4,000 and a minimum
