OUT AT LAST!
BRYAN ANNOUNCES he WILL NOT RUN
FOR PRESIDENT.

Kalamazoo, Mich, August 26.-
Il will not be u candidate for Pres
ident in 1919" declared William
Jennings Bryan, while here to-day.
This is the first time the Nebraskan
has positively stated that he would
not make an effort to secure the
Democratic nomination for the Pres
idency in 1912.
There is plenty of good material
in the party, but who will be the
next candidate for President on the
Democratic ticket depends upon
what the next Congress does, said
Mr.. Bryan.
Il believe the Democrats will
control the next House. That the
country is dissatisfied with the
Republican party is manifest from
the strength ofthe insurgency move
ment.
Mr.. Bryan refused to make any
comment when asked about the
possibilities of Governor Harmon, of
Ohio, being the Democratic candi-
date for President in two years.
I was pleased to note the state
ment>of Colonel Roosevelt yesterday
while in Ohio, in which he said the
time had come for corporation to be
driven from politics. The Democrats
for years have been urging this very
thing and Mr.. Roosevelt, by the
position he has taken, will be able
to do US much good.

Mrs. Henry Hope, fiving few miles
back of Henderson, was drowned last
week in a mill pond near Hurricane.
Young Hope was on visit to his

brother to mourn their loss. The
body brought here Monday accom-

FIGHTING HARD FOR SECOND PLACE IN
THE RACE FOR THE PENANT.
STANDING OF CLUBS.

Mack's team took three out of the
four games at Charleston in the last
series and would have been in second
place had we won the game from
ParkersburS yesterday. The boys
have been playing good ball for the
past week, the game Yesterday being
errorless. At meeting of the
league directors, held at Charleston,
last Monday night the protested
game we had against Ashland, was
thrown out, but upon what ground,
no one seems to know. The rules
governing the affair are very plain,
and the game should have been
given to Point Pleasant. 1t will
probably be put up to the National
Commission later, for adjustment.
Dashner alone was responsible for
the loss of the game Yesterday.
With the score tied in eigth inning,
he pulled off rank bone head,
which gave Parkersburg one score
and Immediately afterward passed
two men and hit two more by wild
pitches, forceing another run across
the plate.
Second place is within reaching
distance, however, and with Hunting
ton pulling Charleston down, and a
little luck, coupled with any kind of
playing, we should be holding that
position, at the end of the season,
next Monday. Here hoping.
