proved himself a hero, but he never

of love at first sight. The widow
was infatuated with the good natur-

and star so .Atchingly and he thought
her the most perfect of women. No
one among the elite of the Bay city

Growing Stronger Every
Day in All Parts of
the State.

4 -
For more than two weeks the sem
timent. all over West Virginia has
been rapidly crystalizlng for party
regularity and declarations from
Scherrites. lukewarm Republicans
and douhters, Including some Demo-
Gratis, have been made for the regu-
lar Republican ticket.
Specials come into this Office from
various sections regarding the trend
of opinion of Republicans in favor of
Charles Wesley Swisher and the reg
nlar ticket. The Ringwood CORES
pondent says:
Preston county has not been ap-
.preeiably affected over the party split
and since Mr.. Scherr bolted the Pres
ton friends and supporters of tho
auditor have either remained silent
or declared for the regular Republi-
can ticket. This county will give
Taft and Swisher $500 plurality"
r. A Grafton special says the county
chairman, hitherto Scherr support
er. will declare himself for the regu-
lar ticket. The Grafton Sentinel will
put up the Swisher ticket to its mast
head. The county will give almost
Its normal vote.
A Parkersburg telegram states that
Wood county. >without any regular
Republican newspaper. has never
been In as bad shape as reported.
The special says that Wood and
Richie counties will be all right. and
that many Scherr reporters have be-
come disgusted with the newspaper
tactics and misrepresentation.

can candidate for attorney general.
has within the last few days com
pleted tour of the counties In the
southern tier, and returned upstate
-cheered by the splendid conditions
within the party ranks he found ex-
listed within that section.
Southern West Virginia Republi-
cans are better organized, more har-
monious and enthusiastic. and more
on the alert for party success than
they have been for years They are
united and have started in to win
such victory in that section as has
never been won for years by the party
before. The campaign has been
started for weeks down there. and
meetings have been held which have
surpassed all previous records for
size and enthusiasm. Last Saturday
at E1khurst, Clay county, Mr.. Conley
was present and addressed meeting
Of over five hundred staunch. Repub-
licas. He was given an enthusiastic
reception, and the mentioning by him
of every name on the national and
state tickes evoked hearty outbursts
of applause. There Is nothing wrong
with Southern West Virginia Repub-
licans this campaign.
The Wheeling newspapers, all own
ed by trust. except the Register,
(Democratic) have driven many of
their own followerers into the regular
Republican camp and 1t was stated
in telegram from Senator Hazlett
las night that Ohio county and the
entire Panhandle, which had given
the Lincoln party fairly good support
was rapidly turning to good old fash
toned Republicanism. The novelty OF
the new party has worn off and the
unfair methods have forced thous-
ands OF voterssto declare for the regu.
