Among the candidates who win be

ensuing Legislature seeking the nom
ination for the United StatesSenate
TO succeed n. B. Scott, viii be c.
W. Watson. Of Fairmont, native
and typical West virginian, one of
the States ablest business men and
most prominent Democrats.
Clarence W. Watson was born. at
Fairmont, Marion County, in 1864.
He is the son of the late James OTIS
Watson, hardy pioneeer of the
Monongahela Valley. The father Of
Clarence Watson also, was born in
Marion County, and was the FIRST
Circuit Clerk of that county. His
mother was Raymond, a family
prominent in the political life. of.the
two Virginia's. The older Watson
was one of the pioneer coal men Of
West Virginia. He saw the respon-
sibility of the development of the
a q
coal industry upon the completion-of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and
operated one of the first mines in
that Valley.
In his youth Clarence Watson
worked in his fathers mine as amule
driver, and as a clerkin the company
store HesreceRed an sEedrcation in
the Fairmont Normal school and the.
West Virginia University. His first.
business venture was the organiza-
tion of the Briar Hill Coal Company
and from that little mine has grown
the Consolidation Coal Company,
producing several millions tons of
coal annually and giving employment
to more people than any other organ-
ization in West Virginia.
In his treatment of his employees
Mr.. Watson has been fair and consi-
derate and any one of the thousands
of men in his employ will bear out
the statementthat he has been hon
est in melting outa square deal to his
employees. As the largest shipper
in West Virginia, Mr.. Watson be-
lieves the inequality in railroad rates
giving other states an artificial advan-
tage over West Virginia, which they
should not enjoy, shouldbe eliminat-
ed, and as a through student of
transportation problems his friends
assert that he would be of great SER
vice to the State in the event of his
election. On the tariff question Mr..
Watson has expressed himself in IA
vor of a tariff which will represent
the diferencein cost ofproduction att
home and abroad and believes in a
distribution of those duties on the
necessities of life.
Because Mr.. Watson is the head
of gigantic industrial enterprise he
has been charged with being a can
didate of the special interests.
Nothing, his friends assert, could be
further from the fact. 1t can be
truthfully stated that Mr.. Watson
has no connection with any corpora
ton other than the business founded
by his father back in the early sos
and SO successfully established by
himself and brothers.
