THE Republicans of the fifth sena.
torial district held their convention in
Martinsburg on Tuesday and nomina-
ted Gilbert P. Miller, of Hampshire
county, for the State Senate. DR.. j.
B. Shipper was chairman of the con-
vention and W. E. Outcalt secretary.
The Republicans have shown great
wisdom in putting up a man like
Mr.. Miller. He is one of the beet
men in the district, capable in business,
an independent rather than partisan
in politics, and enjoys the respect of
all classes. He is perhaps the most
extensive fruit grower in West Vir-
GINA and is widely known for his
probity and ability. 1t is said that
be can carry Hampshire county, and
would have more than his party 8
strength in Morgan and Berkeley, he
having formerly lived in Berkeley
county. If these predictions be true,
we doubt if Jefferson can be relied
upon to pull Mr.. McIntire through.
The convention was enliVened by
the attempts of Rossi NJ. Fisher to get
the nomination. The delegates were
properly shy Of Rossi, however, and
he was ingloriouslY choked off. The
senatorial executive committee is COM
posed of q. G. Getzendanner, W. 81.
Sommers, DR.. A. N. McKeever and
Jacob Sites.

THE DE"ocRArIc TICKET.

As stated in last weeks REGISTER
the Democratic State Convention, II
session at Charleston. nominated Hon.
Louis Bennett, of Weston, as its can
didate for Governor. The nomination
was made at 8 40 Thursday morning
on the first ballot, Mr.. Bennett receiv'
ing 712 votes to 4l0 for Hodges ard
Littlepage, and the nomination was
made unanimous. Thursday the con-
yention reassemblel in the forenoon,
and RENAME in almost continuous ses-
sion until 5 clock Friday morning,
when it finally adjourned after noni-
mating the following ticket
For Observation-Disclosures OF Lewis
county.
For Secretary Of State-Adam B. Lit
tlepage, of Kanawha county.
For Superintendent OF Schools-l' b.
Bush, of Summers county.
For Auditor Oscar Jenkios' OF Woou
county. 49,.
For Treasurer-Jere A. Miller, OF Ohi7
county.
For Attorney General-E. II. Norton
of Webster county.
Electors al Large-Bruce Mcdonald
of Logan county, Howard f. SWlsher'
of Monongahlia.
The greatest contest in the conVen-
ton was over the adoption OF a plank
declaring for an amendment restrict
ing the franchise and faVoring the
passage of Jim Crow car law. The
party leaders exerted themselves
strenuously to prevent such an express
sion, but the delegates acknowledged
no bosses and were determined to 20
on record as the white mans party.
The plank was adopted by a large
majority.
There was a strong sentiment in
favor Of the nomination of Hon. .. NJ.
Wetzel, of Jefferson county, for Audi
tor, and it was said that he was slate d
for the place, but Oscar Jenkins, OF
Wood county, got the swing and had
the promises of so many delegations
that the other candidates withdrew.
Adam B. Littlepage, who had been a
candidate for Governor, was unanl-
mously nominated for Secretary OF
State.
The ticket presented by the Demo-
Gratis is one that can claim the undiyi-
ded support of the Democrats and is
entirely worthy the votes of all those
who cannot conscientiouslY endorse the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Bennett is a
gentleman who has long enjoyed the
respect of the people of the State, and
is clean, honorable. able man. The
balance Of the ticket is composed of
men of high character and ability, who
are capable and worthy in every re.
spect.
We commend the whole ticket to
the people of the State.

Limit Set On Bass FiShing.

Be careful how many bass you
catch these days.
Deputy Game Warden Craig to-
day again called attention to the
limit of the number of bass that
may be taken by one fisherman and
also to the minimum size of the fish
that may be taken. The law on the
subject is new one and one that is
not generally understood.
The limit in regard to the number
of blackbass, large or small mounted.
Oswego bass or yellow bass is Is.
That IS the section provides that no
person may have in his possession at
any one time more than Is fish.
None can be shorter than 10 inchis.
The depty game warden said that
the section of the game laws relat-
ing to this matter would be strictly
enforced and that unless warning
were issued to the fishermen of the
country they might get into trouble
through not knowing of the pro-
vision Of the law setting limit on
the number and the size of the fish.
