Mr.. Hitchcock has been chosen
chairman of the Republican national
committee. In that capacity he win
have general charge of the Republi-
can campaign this year, with the ex-
ception of that part OF it which con-
Germ Ohio. In Ohio Mr.. Vorys will
be in charge.
Some Republican have declared
lightly that 1T Is all over" and that
Taft and Sherman are as good as
elected already. Talk of this sort Is
well meant. but dangerous.
Few things are quite sure in pol
tiles. Everything looks well for the
Republican ticket now. but there
must be no slip-up that could later be
traced to carelessness. over-conh-
dence or inefficiency in the manage
ment Of the campaign. There must
be an efficient Republican organiza-
ton this fall, and no legitimate step
looking toward the success of the
ticket In November should be neg
lected.
1t has seemed to those who have
had the matter In charge that, of
those available, Mr.. Hitchcock Is the
best fitted for this very important
work. There Is no doubt of Mr..
Hltchcock's energy and executive
ability. He aroused some opposition
at ChIcago-as strong men in charge
of. big things usually do. We do not
believe that this opposition is deep
enough, or that it has enough basis
in any real injury. to last very long.
The Republican party needs the
help of all those who believe in the
principles of Rpublicanism this fall.
The campaign may prove easy or IL
may prove very hard. Bryan has
enough political experience and has
made enough money to make sure
there will be very real Democratic
organization this year. This being
the case. 1t is up TO loyal Republicans
to give their leaders the support that

voted to CONSIDERATIONS discharge of
duty and the advancement Of the in
terests OF the state and her people.
He served in the state senate. He
has also rendered fine service as as
sistant tax Commissioner. These two
experiences qualify him for auditor,
not to mention other qualifications
,possessed7tby him. Every RepubIl-
can and other good citizen can and
Will cheerfullY vote for him.
Attorney General William G. Con-
ley is lawyer OF ability. a gentle
man Of integrity. man popular with
the people and is discharging the
duties OF 1hiS oftice fearlessly and
ably. His domination for that office
recognizes ascounty entitled to the
honor and gives to the man an honor
he assdredly deserves. That depart
ment of the state government is safe
In his. hands and no mistake was
made I'D naming him. None but the
foolish man would even attempt to
hold out the idea that William G.
conley will not make victorious

State superintendent Thomas c.
Miller, than whom there is no better
educational man in the state. is spon-
scr for NJ. P. Shawkey. who was
nominated to succeed DR.. Miller as
state superintendent of schools. DR..
Miller unhesitatingly declared in the
convention that Mr.. Shawkey was an
educator among educators and Dr..
Muller knows. But, the word of DR..
Miller is not all, as Mr.. Shawkey has
more than statewide fame as an
educator of fine ability. Under his
SUPPLEMENTARY we feel assured along
with DR.. Miller that the educational
system of West Virginia will steadily
advance to state Of higher perfec-
ton and proficiency.
1t was right that man should be
chosen from the southern end of the
state, which rolls up such marvellous
majorities for the Republican party
and the convention gave that end the
man 1t asked for, namely, E, L. Long,
of Mcdowell county, for state treas
urer. He is business man who has
the confidence and respect of all who
know and he adds strength to the
ticket.
The ticket is in no sense offensive
to any man who desires the state to
advance, but 1t pleases every one who
knows that Republican administra-
ton of affairs in the state promotes
and develops the interests of the peo-
pie OF West Virginia.
Every man who wants the phenom-
email development West Virginia has
experienced under Republican guild
ance will give the ticket his heartIest
support and cooperation and there
need be no pessimism shown as to
the ultimate result.

Personnel of Ticket.


The Republican party is to be
highly congratulated upon the splen-
did personnel of its state ticket as
named at Charleston last week. II
Is truly representative. 1t is hard to
conceive stronger or better ticket,
and with such superb platform as
was adopted, there is certainly no
reason to doubt that the triumph this
fall will be more glorious than ever
for the party of progress. So strong
and popular is the ticket from head
to bottom that the Democrats are
simply paralyZed. The thinkers OF
that party already concedc victory 10
the Republican ticket, though they
hold out feebly the idea that their
own party has a slight chance. II de-
lection of Republicans can be en-
gineered successfully by a few who
did not have their own ambition
gratified and were not given the OPP
portunity to dominate and dictate.
Hon. Charles w. Swisher. nominee
for governor, is one of the most wide
~ known men in West Virginia. in
truth, he is known all over the state.
The experience he has had in public
life and his known ability to do things
eminently qualify him for the most
capable discharge of the duties Of the
office of governor of the state he
loves SO we'll. the. state that, gave him
birth and in which he has spent his
life. A splendid campaigner, the cam
paign will reveal him as a man OF
rare vote-getting ability and the cleo
ton will show him to be the most
popular man that ever ran for gov
ernor in this state.
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, is known all
over the state. and is not new man
in politics. The past reveals the fact
that he stumped many parts OF the
state effectively and his eloquence and
logic both as a speaker and a writer
have converted many to the faith OF
Republicanism. The public service
he has rendered places him in the
class of statesman and Harrison

people of this state for their suffrage.

Selection Of Mathews.

Supreme wisdom was shown in the
selection of the Hon. Sam Mathews
as chairman of the Republican state
committee. Mr.. Mathews is gen
tleman of superior political judgment
and wide political experience, thor
oughly in touch the last dozen years
or more with the leaders and rank
and file of the party.
'Hailing from Cabell county. where
there are so many brainy Republicans
he comes as one OF the .brainiest in
the state. Conversant with political
conditions in the state and active in
the achievement of the party's victor
les, his capability and capacity as
chairman will stand out pre-eminent
in the history of the state committee.
Faithful and true to his party and
rendering efficient services in Auditor
Scherr's Office the first term OF that
splendid state official, he was chosen
as state bank examiner and has con-
Quoted that Office in a manner char
acterlstic of his unexcelled ability.
AS one of the Swisher leaders he
acquainted himself with every condi-
ton existing in the state and no man
has a more comprehensive knowledge
of the situation and the work to be
done in the campaign. He is prepar-
ed for that work and will guide the
party with a mastery hand.
The selection OF Mathews signifies
that the state committee is alive to
the fact that great responsibilities de-
volve upon the state chairman and
that Mr.. Swisher and the committee
know the true worth of the one
chosen to the place
The work OF Mr.. Mathews in the
will be conclusive evidence
that no mistake was made, when he
was placed at the head of the state

The State Ticket.
1.-THE Oil Reyiew.l


The younger element in the party
dominated the regular convention and
the ticket is essentially young mans
ticket. The candidates are all young,
men of sterling qualities and It would
be an impossible task to improve
much on the personnel of the ticket.
Mr.. Swisher has been before the pub
lie for number of years in offices of
prominence and his official record is
clear as crystal. Personally, he is a
genial. courteous gentleman of very
prepossessing appearance-the stripe
of man that no West virginian
would be ashamed to own as his gov
erner. He made hard, clean fight
for the nomination in the face of the
dirtiest opposition ever shown to a
gubernatprfaI candidate in this state.
The other candidates are well
known to the public. Mr.. Stuart f.
Reed, nominee for secretary of state,
is probably the most brilliant man on
the ticket. He is prominent Re-
publican of Clarksburg and an orator
OF national prominence. His selec-
ton was a very wise one and he will
be q, tower OF strength on the ticket.
Mr.. J. S. Darst, candidate for audi
tor, has made an enviabIe record as
assistant to the state tx commissioner
and his work in that position has
done much TO promote a satisfactory
operation OF our new tax system. Pre-
vious to his present incumbency he
served with distinction in both houses
Of the legislature. Mr.. w. C. Con-
ley, attorney general nominee. has
been filling thar office creditably by
appointment since the death OF Clark
May. and is generally recognized over
the state as an attorney of more than
ordinary ability and a man exemplary
in his private life. NJ. P. Shawkey.
for superintendent OF free schools,
though young man has been prom
inently Identified with the educational
interests OF the state for a number of
years and will make worthy success
sor OF the present very capable super
intendent. Mr.. T. C. Miller. The can
didate for treasurer, Mr.. E. L. Long,
is former Tyler county boy and a
young. man who is working his way
to the top on merit alone. He is now
postmaster at WEIGH, Mcdowell coun-
ty, and one OF the recognized leaders
OF the party in the southern section
of he state. His popularity was
eloquently attested by the decisive
majority he received in the conven-
ton over the present. efficient treasur-
er, Mr.. Newton ogdin, of st. Marys.
