tiom that the real choice of the ma
chine was any other than the slate
prepared last winter or spring. And
since the late Harmony meeting" was
held it would appear that the machine
is stronger than ever in its hold On
the party in West Virginia and that
there is a determination 70 put
through the slate prepared so many
months ago.
There can be no doubt that the
omission of the national committee
man from the list of candidates to be
voted for at the republican primary
election was intentional and that back
Of it was the intention to reinstate
Nathan B. Scott as member Of the re-
publican national convention in spite
Of popular opposition to him and
through him to retain in the hands of
:he same old machine its greatest as
settle dispensation CT federal pat
lonage. There is little doubt that the
nomination OF candidate fer senator
was omitted from the primary election
fer the reason that the financial as
sstance of both Davis Elkins and I.
7. Mann was wanted in the election of
republican candidates for the legisla-
ture and because the machine thought
it would be easier to put its candidate
for the place through in a republican
caucus than it would be to get him Il
nomination at a statewide primary.
Apparently Elkins and Mann are both
TO be played for the place so as to in
duce them to spend their money for
the election of a legislature and then
enc of them is to be dropped And
there is every indication here that
Mann is the one to be dropped after
he has contributed to the election of
legislature. which if republican will
eject Davis Elkins to the senate.
The nomination of candidate for
governor was made a part cf the pri-
niary election program for the reason
that the machine felt strong enough
10 pull Swisher through the primary,
and at the same time let it appear
that the people had themselves aomi-
rated him. 1t will be noted that Sam
Dixon, a member of the state com
mittee, who is backing c. w. Dillon
for governor, was not made member
cf the subcommittee to arrange for
the primary election and that the ar
rangements are in the hands Of men
who are friendly to Svishers nomi-
ration.
Altogether it is very apparent that
1t is the intention of the same old ma
chine to put through the same old
state, using the primary election
where it is felt it can be controlled
and emitting from its provisions these
on whom the machine Is unwilling to
take chances. They may talk OF Golf
Northcott, Mason, Atkinson and all
the other greater and lesser lights
but the old machine has shown at
Charleston that it is still in the sad
die and il was never known TO work
for any but members OF its own or
eanization And 1t can be pasted on
the wall right now for future refer
ence that Scott, Elkins and Swisher
are the choice OF the machine for IA
tional committeeman, senator and
governor, respectively; and they have
been all the time.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
/ always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case In particular
was that of lady friend Of mine who,
when child, was afflicted with &C.
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter

looked terrible. told her to get at
once set Of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms Of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, they were completely cured.
Ny husband had rheumatism on his
arm and used the Cuticura Ointment.
It made his arm as timber and nice,
whereas 1t was quite stir before I
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May had an ingrowing toe
