William Maitland was down from
D9luth the latter part of last week
visiting with friends and relatives.
No one seems to want to be Mayor,
and so far there is scarcity of
mayoralty timber. During the past
week friends of L. N. Clausen have
been circulating nomination papers
in his behalf, but up to the present
he has refused to give his friends
any encouragement. He informs
The Times that he will not accept
the office. 1.-The should be persuaded
to allow the use of his name it will
be because his friends demands it..
Yesterday nomination papers were
in circulation for E. Bergmann, and
he has refused to stand as a candi-
date. Many of those who had signed
Mr.. Clausen's papers were more
than willing to turn to Mr.. Berg
mann who it was thought for time
would accept the nomination. Mr.,
Mertz who has been a much talked
of candidate for several weeks has
absolutely refused to make the run.
Any of these candidates who have
been before the public, thus far, are
good men and would be entirely ac-
ceptable to the citizens. What the
next few days will bring forth is
hard to state at this time. There
are several other good men who are
thought to be available, Mr.. Calder
has been prominently mentioned and
Alderman Oluf Olson is much talked
about. 1t is possible that one OF
the five mentioned can be induced
to accept the nomination.

The Morgantown Republican pays
che following merited tribute to the
Republican candidate for governor:
Hon. William e. Glasscock, who Is
the candidate for governor of the re-
united Republican party of West vir-
ginia. is one of the best known men
in public life in the Mountain State.
His private and public life has been
characterized by clean conduct and u
high integrity that has won him the
confidence and admiration OF his fell
low citizens. He is a native born
son of West Virginia, was graduated
from its university and whatever he
has achieved in professional, political
and business life he has won on his
own merits and by his persistent in
dustry. With Mr.. Glasscock at the
head of the ticket, Republicans have
every incentive to work and vote for
the success OF the party's state. tick
ct, and where defeat seemed probable
TO them few days ago, now with Mr..
Glasscock as the party's candidate,
there Is an assurance of triumphant
victory decidedly pleasing"

Reed IInpresses az peonIe

Stuart r Reed, Republican nomi-
nee for secretary OF state and the
choice OF over 1--WE thousand Har-
;rison county Republicans, is making
some telling speeches already in the
present campaign, and the impress
sion the people have of him as they
hear him is profound. Friday night
last week Senator Reed addressed a
large and enthusiastic crowd at Mar
tinsburg. and the World Of that city
has the following to say of him on
that occasion:
Mr.. Reed was very cordially re-
ceived. He spoke for more than half
an hour on state issues. arraigning
the Democrats for Encouragement OF
state affairs and misrepresentation OF
state funds during long period of
years prior to the ascendency of the
Republican party in West Virginia
and effectively answered some of the
false utterances recently made by the
opposition. His glorification of the
wonderful resources of West Virginia
and the notable part that the Republi.
can party has played in their deve1-
opment. the wise fostering of her in
stitutions and the broadening of her
public school system were especially
eloquent and produced a profound
impression on the audience.

Haskell,s Continuation.

The Telegram has said all along
that William Jennings Bryan is a
political faker and that he anu the
managers of his campaign have vain
ly and hypocritically endeavored to
ride their craft on the crest OF the
popular morality wave. Not every
person took it 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 Clncinnatus 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 $4,000 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, and

Arnold Scherr's home paper, the

following utterances, shows what the
Republican hosts in that part of the
state are going to do at the polls
November 8:
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 wo~d and is not Swell

true word can be spoken against his
personal character or His qualifica-
lions from an educational point OF
view. He has served his county as
superintendent of schools, and clerk
of the circuit court, is lawyer by

been collector of internal revenue for
the Northern District of West vir-

called to fill he has made most ex-

Democracy Paralyzed.

The candidacy of Hon. William E.
GlassCock for governor of West yir-
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 a 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 L. fGlasscock as governor OF
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 a member of the old State
committee prove most conclusively,
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 a man of such splendid pri-
vate and public life and with the
state naturally in the Republican
column, It is not passing strange that
the Democratic leaders are paralyzed
completely.

Cochran on Taft.

There is a remarkable unanimity
of opinion of Judge Taft in all par
ties and in all sections. Men pay
tribute to his remarkable ability even
where party politics may exert such
an influence as to demand the es-
pousing of the rival presidential can
didate's cause. AS an Illustration w.
lBourke Cochran in an interview at
Boston the other day said:
Eyes, l shall support Bryan: he is
the best candidate the Democrats
could put up. Taft, however, is the
greatest and best qualified nominee
ever offered in any Republic in the
world. He is a greater man than
Roosevelt, and when surrounded by
the same environments that made
Roosevelt great will prove a bigger
man. Taft is a wonderful admins
traitor, the greatest the country has
ever seen and Is wonderful worker .

Mr.. Bennett,s Taxes.

The Hon. Louis Bennett, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, is say
ing great deal these days about in
creased taxes. Mr.. Benefits person
al record on the tax laws is such as
to compel the belief that If he has
the power he will repeal each one
that is designed to make those of
wealth pay their share toward the
maintenance of government.
Four years ago when the tax laws
were an issue, Mr.. Bennett emerged
from the life of secluded ease which
he prefers, and vigorously stumped
his home county of Lewis and the ad-
joining counties in opposition to the
laws. Why? Because he owned
thousands of acres or coal, oil and
timber lands which were assessed at
very small fractional part OF their
value. dollar or two an acre, while
he could sell them for from $40 to
500 or more an acre. Therefore an
assessment basis on the true and act
ual value which took into account not
only the bare surface as the old laws
did, but the mineral and timber value
also, had no attractions for Mr.. Ben
nett.
The Intelligencer does not doubt
that when Mr.. Bennett says the tax
laws have increased taxes he speaks
the truth so far as they apply to
himself, but we don't think it ad-
visable to re-arrange the system for
his own personal Misunderstanding

ed by another, reveal condition
of affairs that need prompt and
vigorous attention from the auth
critics Of the county and the

Resorts for the sale of liquor and
the congregation of abandoned
women are reported to thrive un-
restrictedly, and the future peace
and order of the place are likely
to depend upon the attitude of
the prosecuting authorities. There
was a time when such conditions
were look upon as inevitable in

Now they are looked upon as evil
