4 correspondent of the Intcili-

very interest ng letter on the poll
g. OF the state 1t viii be seen
lhat the country IS in no danger.
There are plenty OF patriots ready
TO save IL, including Governor w.
NJ. 0. Dawson. who has been APPLY
described as Want Moro office
Dawson"
There was certainly no rlisft Of
Judgment on me part of Governor
elect Glasscock when he vehenent'y
declared a few days ago that he
would have nothing whatever to do
W TN Federal appointments; that he
vas elec ed governor of West V r
ginla and his offices would be CON
fined to state ala rs. Those know
ing less of the big qualities of the
man previously, could MT help but
eel that he was as positive in that
atemcnt as he was when he an
nouncrd the app ica.ion OF the adj
v ce of ii S Uncle John" Miller to
wear no mans collar" 1t was with
tLat determination that the new
/ governor-elect left for Ho: Springs
TO recuperate before returning to
make an inspection o. the state in
stitutions and 20 familiarizc himself
" tn he work OF the Office, Cover
nor GlasscOcks inspection of the
state institutions will be more thor-
ough and comprehensive than many
people imagine with casual
thought. II will be made with a
deep sense of interest in the well
fare of the institutions, with a de-
sire to aid them in reforms needed.
When the legislative committee
makes It's report on them he will
understand it in every detail from
his own personal observat OPS.
STEER CLEAR OF FACTIONS
There are a great many staunch
Republicans here and in other cities
of the state who are inclined to be-
licve that Glasscock should use his
influence in securing Federal pluIns
for certain Republicans who were
active n the interest Of the NV
governor and OF the Republican
party in the state after the Sw3h-
er-Scherr muddle had been cleared
But the new executive is determined
to show no favoritism to no faction
and have nothing whatever 10 do
hard W TIL so many things to be
done, and he Will not place himself
in position to incur the enmity of
anyone by interfering in federal af-
fairs.
DAWSON FOR COLLECTOR
In Charleston there is consider
ably more interest in the scramble
for the revenue collectorsh p than
for the speakersh.p and clerkship of
the new house.

dacy of Governor William NJ. o..

. cOllcc.orship, which was made Sas-
urday, created some surprise here

candidacy was made, and there was
much comment here as well as IN
Washington. Governor Dawson
term of office expires March AN
Mex, when he will hand over the
reins to Governor-elect Glasscock.
This viii add an interesting
phase to the night to succeed Mr..
. Glas5cock, as Col. Fred Paul Cross

d.date for he place and has be n
endorsed by the Repaid can county
committee OF Kanawha county a1I
