THE WHEELING REGISTER
ABOUT PEOPLE YOU
KNOW.

E. E. Meredith, OF this city, is serv-
ing as the stan correspondent Of the
wheeling Register at Charleston dur
ing the special session OF the Legisla-
ture. One OF his articles in the Reg
lister to-day is Of some local interest.
as follows:
The formal announcement of NJ. c.
Lough.s candidacy for the Republican
nomination for State Superintendent
of Free Schools is momenrarily ex-
pected. That he is a candidate for
this position is no longer doubted by
his friends and while here for the
meeting OF the board OF regents of
which is member. he is said to have
received the encouragement necessary
to spur him into the race.
Waitman T. Barbe will not be can
didate, according to an educator who
is very near him and it looks now like
the race would be between NJ. P. Shaw
key, of Kanawha county. and NJ. C.
Tough. of Barbour or Marion county.
The latter is a native Of Barbour. but
for several years has resided in Marion
where he is editor of the Fairmont
West virginian. Whether he will claim
residence in Barbour or Marion is
question. On account of C. w. swish
er coming from Marion he may enter
the race as candidate OF Barbour
county. 1t is said that he stands very
well in that county which would like
representation on the State ticket.
Reed on the Scene.
Stuart F. Reed. OF Clarksburg. who
is candidate for Secretary OF State.
is here receiving the congratulations
of his friends on splendid speech de-
llvered at Plttsburg recently in which
he called attention to West Virginia's
many claims for distinction outside of
its natural resources. Mr.. Reed can
see more in life than the mere making
OF money and is never in better form
than when pointing out the many
prominent men OF other States who
were born and raised in the West Vir'
GINA hills. Senator Thorn, of Harri.
son county, says that that county Is
unit for MIR. Reed and other Republi
cans from that part OF the State say
he will make formidable candidate.
Mr.. Reeds candidacy will be oppos.
ed by c. L. Topping, clerk Of the house
of delegates, and by John T. Harris.
clerk of the senate, both OF whom feel
that their long service to the party
makes them the natural candidates for
that important position, which is com.
ing to be looked upon as step into
the gubernatorial chair. The three
candidates are lining up their friends
and the contest between now and con.
vention time may be expected to warm
up to fever heat.

he was the only member of the legis-
