There can possibly be no fayorltism.
shown or prejudice used in selecting
a slogan for Fairmont according to the
plan which was agfeedFupon last night
and that Is for the secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce to list all slo.
gans submitted by number and keep
the record of the names iof. those sub.
hitting them separate. This will put
each and every, slogan lSpe its merits
and no criticism can possibly be Of.

mittee has decided upon one but the
name of the winner has been with.

air meeting that will be held on the,
Capitol grounds this evening. a NUN.
Der OF prominent speakers have been
engaged for the occasion and the
State very generously rendered the
Chamber Of Commerce the use of the
regimental band which will furnish
music fol, the occasion. Everybody is
most crazy" to knew who the winner
Is and a large crowd is expected out
tonight at the Charleston meeting.
This shows the Importance OF the slo.
gan movement and the interest that
all live towns take in matters Of this
kind. Everybody IN Fairmont should
see that they havea slogan in the lisl
and every public spirited citizen wants
to see the city have an expression that
means something and that will b
used with enthusiasm.

uleAlY ENCOURAGING.

The degree Of interest and enthusi.
asm with which the suggestion of
Judge Goff's name as the choice OF
the Republican party for United
States senator has been received is
highly encouraging. II the southern
section of the State will put on the
track a running mate for the Judge
in the shape OF thoroughly availa'
BILE and generally acceptable candi;
date for governor, the battle of 1912
will be half won. The definite sug-
gestlon OF such a candidacy would pre-.
vent the launching Of aSlot Of incipi-
emit booms, the loss Of which the
party can very well afford. The po-
iitical straws continue to blow in such
a direction as to make It seem more
and more likely that Judge Goff would
look with favor on the proposition to
make him the party's candidate for
senator. Now let the southenders hunt
a suitable running mate for him.

PROTECTION WANTED.

The suggestion has been frequent
~ made that some sort of a shed
should be provided at the traction sta
ton to protect passengers, especially
women ond children, when alighting
from or getting on the cars at the To-
cal station in rainy and sloppy wealth
er.
Since the Jefferson street station
has been made the terminal for three
interurban lines, the Warrington line,
the Rivesville-F airview line, and the
main line to CIarksburg, more people
get on and of cars at the local sta-
ton than at any other one point in
the State. Fairmont is a growing trac-
tion center. More miles OF track
radiate from Fairmont than from any
other West Virginia city and the. as
sessment fixed by the Board of Pub
lie Works shows that the actual cash
value of the various lines operated
and controlled by the Fairmont and
Clarksburg Traction Company and Its
allied interests, exceeds that OF any
other system in the State and is more
than the combined valuations of all
the Wheeling lines.
A steel shed over Jefferson street
with supports resting from the curb
would in no way obstruct travel along
the. street and would afford much
comfort and protection to the travel
ing public.
whether or not the Traction Com
pany could be induced to provide this
additional comfort is matter fol

TWICE DEFIEs LOCkJAW
Boy, With Anti Tetanic Serum,
Has a Rather Unique
Experience
special 10 The Daily Leader.

Special TO the Daily Leader
Altoona. Pa, Nov 2S-One Of the
most remarkable eases of lockjaw on
record has just been cured here by
line use Of anti-tetanic serum. In fact,
it was really two cases of the dread
disease in the same patient, one
quickly following the other.
The victim was Louis Gunsallus, a
l6-year.old boy, who never had been
sick day in his life. Two months
ago he was walking around the cellar
of a grocery store when he trod on
rusty nail. which penetrated the
sole of his foot Two weeks later ne
trod on the same nail again. A short
time later ioekiaw developed, and
when the doctor was summoned con-
vulsions had started. Az times four
men were required to hold
him. He was fed through q small
tube inserted in his mouth back OF
the teeth.
After two weeks he began to i'm
prove, his jaws unlocked and he snow
ed signs Of recovery. Then suddenly
he became as i'll as before An en-
tirely new case Of tetanus had de-
evidently from the second
step on the nail. The jaws locked
and commissions came back. More
serum was administered and in a few
lays he was better again. He mas
1een on the road to recovery ever
ince. Skillfui treatment and an iron
saved his life.
