monthly business meeting Friday af-
ternoon at the club rooms, and the
attendance was not only large but rep
resentated the best and most cultured
women of the city.

oughly organized, is in good working
order

WHEELING. W. Va. August y, 1909.
Newcomers to West Virginia are wont
10 remark frequently on the political bug
in this state. and 1t does seem at times as
if the West Firginian is never too busy or
too lazy to keep an eye on political Of
flee or something appertaining thereto.
Therefore, three years in advance, there
is good field in grooming for the repub-
lican gubernatorial stakes, with no telling
how much the field will grow in the in
terim.
But perhaps the most interesting devel-
opment in the northern panhandle section
is the budding aspiration of Sheriff Will
liam NJ clemans of Wheeling to try for a
place on the congressional or state ticket
in 1912. He has let ii be known to a few
friends that at the expiration of his term
he will enter the larger arena. He has
been conSpicuously successful as a cam
paigner. being elected several times as
chief of police and winning the shvievalty
last year. one of the richest offices in the
state. He is something of vocalist and
as a mixer has few equals. He has been
cultivating a state acquaintance recently
with a view to running for the governor
ship or Congress.
The four most discussed for governor
are Senator Fred o. Blue Of Barbour
county, ex-Mayor W. r. Hite of Hunting
ton ex-Secretary of State Charles w
SWisher and George NJ. Bowers of Mar
tinsburg. United States fish commissioner.
Blue is also being urged to try for Con-
sreSS in the second district against Rep

that as the courts held that there had
been no election as contemplated under
