of the Prohibition Party Of
This State for the
Governorship.
CANDIDACY IS ANNOUNCED
Thoroughly Posted on Temper
ance and an Earnest
Advocate of Ii.

The Prohibition party OF West
Virginia are urging the nomination
of Hon. Obey Ord Sutton. Of Sutton.
for governor, and he has formally
announced that he will make the fight
for this office. and already has re-
ceived some strong assurances OF
support by the leaders OF the party
throughout the state.
Mr.. Sutton has for years been a
strong and forcebul advocate OF tenn
perance, and has made careful
study of the question especially in
the South where the cause Of tenn
perance and prohibition has received
such wonderful support and achieved
such mighty victories.
In an interview recently, Mr. Suit
ton said: "A big fight will be made
this fall to secure the election of a
pledged legislature that will submit
constitutional amendment for rati-
fication to the people of this State to
be voted on at the next general cleo
tion effectively abolishing the sale,
manufacture and importation OF liq-
uors. / am in favor of a radical un-
setting Of the liquor policy OF West
Virginia, and believe such an upset
ting will come about II the people
are accorded an opportunity Of ex-
pressing themselves at the polls.
The temperance and prohibition
people are confident of forcing re-
strlctive liquor legislation at an early
date. The last candidate for COVER
nor on the Prohibition ticket, DR.. j.
w. Bedford, received between 1000
and 5000 votes, but 1t is confidently
believed this year that II the cause Of
temperance or prohibition -cannot
wholly triumph by the election of a
governor, it will cast 10000 or 5O,-
900 votes. I.would, II nominated,
make careful canvass of the whole
state speaking in every county. The
day is at hand when the saloon must
go. and West yirglnians have come
to the realization of this fact"
Mr.. Sutton while a young man OF
about 80 years OF age has enjoyed a
wide experience in business and pro-
fesisoral way, and would prove an
ideal candidate for governor on the
Prohibition ticket. Mr.. Sutton has
Travelled extensively over the country
and has made thorough study of
conditions. and especially the states
need along this line. Recently he
made trip throughout the British
Empire and made a study OF condi-
tions in the Old World.
Mr.. Sutton's candidacy is receiv-
ing united support and he Is looked
on as the most available man to lead
the cause Of temperance to victory.

WITNESSES
ARE JAILED
BY Judge KeIlar in the Peonage
Cases in Federal Court
at Huntington.

HUNTINGTON, April 29.-There
was decidedly pitiful scene in feder-
ai court when following the presenta-
tion OF a petition by the United States
District Attorney Elliott Northcolt,
Judge Keller turned thirteen. witnesses
in the Dixon peonage cases over 10
the United States Marshal to remain
in custody until June 2, unless they
furnish good substantial bond.
Among those held was n woman ap-
parently young who Is here in these
noted cases as a witness. The edict
of the court created a furore among
the witnesses who were brought here
from Fayette and Kanawha counties.
One OF them arose and In hating
English told the court that he had a
wife and seven little children back
there in the hills and that they had
not n cent to get along with. And no
sooner had he sat down trembling In
his agitation over the outlook, than
another sprang to his feet and iii-
formed the court that his family of u
wife and five children were similarly
situated. Judge Keller told the wit
nesses that ne had nothing to do with
them they would have to be kept In
custody unless they could give bond.
None Of them can do this The entire
number VIII have to remain here,
probably in jail, until June, when
they will be taken to Charleston to
appear in the Dixon cass.
The petition filed by District At
torney Northcott stated that the wit
nesses were Of romadic class, hav-
ing no fixed place OF residence. and
that II permitted to go unbound from
custody of the United States officials
there would he great difficulty in
getting them again when the cases
are called for trial Attorneys for
the witnesses declared that this legal
peonage Is as bad as that responsible
for the indictments. against Dixon and
threaten to appeal to Judge Con- for
relief

In This Section Of the State in
Matter Of Freight
Shipments.
THIRD ON 3. & 0. SYSTEM
According to a Semi Official
Statement for the
Month Ended.

Every one knows clarssburg Is a
great city and knows It better. when
business comparisons are made with
other cities in the state and out Of t.
The volume Of business OF any
place IS usually indexed by the rail-
road transportation transactions,
though in some instances river traffic
counts some.
1t is a matter of pride one takes in
the semi-otIiclnl statement just made
that the freight office here did more
business the last month than similar
offices did I'M Parkersburg, Grafton,
Fairmont. Weston and West Union
combined. and over 500 cars more
than Cumberland, Md. OF course, at
Parkersburg and Fairmont some river
traffic was done. which is not taken
into account in the statement
Not included in the summary Is
the transferred freight here, of which
there is great volume. But the state
ment has merely to do with incoming
and outgoing freight-all handled at
the local freight office.
Civic pride is also taken by all
Clarksburgers In an additional part
of the statement. that is to say.
Clarksburg ranks third best on the
Baltimore & Ohio system between
Baltimore and Cincinnati in freight
receipts and shipments. This is an
indication that Clarksburg is a great
trade center and that there is large
consumption here as well as large
production.
With such prevalent conditions II
is not at all strange that Clarksburg
should be looked upon as the city in
the central part of the state.
There is nothing in the situation to
discourage any business man but
everything to give him hope and re-
newed energy With the resumption
of mine operations. though, as is
the custom some of the glass factories
may close during the hot period OF
the summer, a busy time is ahead.

'QUtZDA TOO SMART
 10 ENJOY FREEDOM
Man With Felony Charge Hanging Over Him Caused it to Fall.

For being too smart and revengeful, Jose Quezida will almost certainly go to the penitentiarv Last August QueZida made q criminal assault upon Mrs Urbana Robles. who was stop ping at the house of woman named BOrquez living on Castle Creek Mrs Robles was badly beaten and it was evident that Quezids meant to kill her.
 A warrant was issued for his arrest but he had fled the countr.. and no trace of him could be secured. The woman returned to Phoenix. and in the course of two or three months the official interest in the affair lapsed. Quezida was not well known here; the woman did not try to keep up in terest n the affair. and but for one thing. nothing more would probably have beer heard o5 it.
 QueziGa in the meantime came 70 Phoenix. The woman probably knew that he was here: at any rate he knew where she was. and knew where she lived. for a few days ago he began passing her house endeavOring to st- tract her attention to his presence.
 Night before last he passed again and saw her. He taunted her with the beating she had received and told her that he was bigger than the law. You sec" said he. HI am free vet" Then he made other insulting remarks and gestures and went away.
 Thus the Interest of the woman in the case was revived. She was filled with a curiosit.- to k.oW whether it was true that Senor Quesida was big ger than the American law and con stitution She hunted up Constable Murphy and wanted to know why so Senor Quezida was so much at large The constable said he would go out and see why he still possessed his freedom. He found him yesterday morning and locked him up. Quezida admitted that he had made mistake in rousing q sleeping dog, but he said he was so mad at the woman that he could not resist the temptation to taunt her.

just at that time, and he very re- spectfully stayed away.
 Another misstatement by the same paper was that Mir. Ensign had refus- ed to make any concessions to the committee which called upon him yes- terday.
 With these two sfalsehoOds eliminat- ed from the situation. it clears the at mosphere nicely so The Republican can continue the story where t was left off yesterday morning.
 Mayor Coggins and C. W. Mckee. the latter being the director named by the Commercial Club Thursday night, met MT. Ensign yesterday afternoon and held a decidedly pleasant and fruitful conference, one that had it been held a week ago. would probably have prevented all the tempest in the tea pot that day or two ago promis- ed to at least blow the lid off and pos sibly create a general and disastrous explosion. After the meeting Mir. En- sign was asked the result of il. He said the attitude of the committee seemed To be very fair and he felt that he was dealing with men who have at heart tro best interests of
 
 light company.
 Continuing. MT. Ensign said: "The principal proposition is that they want tG know about what our miXimum rates will be when We get the Roose- welt power. I have promised some con concessions but have not yet stated what thC-' will be. I asked for and was given ten days time to get togeth- CT such cacts and information as l want to present tO the council and our concessions to them relative to our l proposed reduction in rates They also granted me an additional ten days | if SD long time shall be needed.
 We feel that there is no desire | among the citizens or the community | at large to in any way press or cocrca | the company into any hardship . have felt from the start that all mat ters of SD great importance will al ways be met fairly and squarely and | dealt with by fair minded and strong men"
