DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE
DEMOCRATS OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Look This Way in Casting About for
Gubernatorial Timber.

70
While both parties are casting
about for the best man to nomi-
nate for Cover nor in the ap.
preaching election, we should
like to bring forward the claim
of Southern West Virginia in
this connection. 1t has been a
long time, if ever, that this por-
ton of the State has received any
distinctive honors from the Dem
ocratic party in State politics.
We wish to say that we are not
to be overlooked entirely in this
matter-we are entitled to re-
cognition some of the time.
We have distinguished son
among us, whom we would
/ I
suggest as the logical man to
fiji the important place of Gov
ernor Of West Virginia. He is
Ito the manor born worthy in
every respect, and has large ex-
perience, honesty and splendid
ability and every way fitted to
honor the place Sit has not been
for years. He is an ideal gem
tleman, polished and modest but
firm, and is as straight politically
as she is in business or religious
life. He has been honored by
his own people, and there is not
a blemish on his condaet; from. his
young manhood to the@present.
We refer to the true and manly
Democrat, Judge John B. Will
kinson, Of the Democratic county
Of Logan. He is a man that can
carry the Democratic standard
to victory in West Virginia in
the next election by $4,000 ma
jority. Why, every body would
vote for him, with even Mellow
ell county doubtful. Spotless N
character, honest in politics and
aid mired by everyone who knows
him, he would sweep the State,
unite the party and give us clear
politics and dignified admins
tration.
Southern West Virginia de
serves the recognition, and tht
Honorable John B. Wllkln sol
wSuld wear the honors easily an'
make us a governor Of whom
i the State would lie proud, whose
administration history would re
4
cord as model for others t.
follow.
| Let the thinking Democrats 0
the State consider our sugges
ton, and if the gentleman Q
{. whom we write can be induce
to accept the honor, there is
big victory ahead for the Demo
cratic party in West Virginia.

GAS THEORY PREVAILS.
Organized Labor Had No Hand In Los
Angeles Disaster.

Organized Labor Had No Hand In Los
Angeles Disaster.
Developments from the investiga-
ton Instituted by city and state Of
ficials in the explosion at the Los An
gelcs Times building III the early
hours of Oct pointed to no other
theory than the one voiced by mem
bers Of organized labor ever since the
disaster occurred namely, that 1t was
caused by gas. A searching investi-
cation made by a committee repre-
senting the California State Fedora
ton Of Labor. during which scores OF
persons who were witnesses to the ex-
plosion were examined and the opin-
ions OF many of the best explosive ex-
perts secured, pointed TO the theory
that gas ignition was the cause,
or course there is still decided de-
termination on the part of the fanatics
represented by the Merchants and
Manufacturers association. spurred on
by the venomous publisher Of tho
Times, to convince the public that the
explosion must have been the work
Of "unionites." In the face Of these
charges evidence has been produced
to show that the Times building had
been condemned as unsafe, as large
cracks had appeared in the wall; that
a few hours before the explosion three
Of the Times employees were forced to
leave owing to sickness caused by the
amount of gas in the building. their
statement being filed under affidavit;
that during the day preceding the ex-
plosion some one complained to the
gas company owing to the strong odor
Of gas in the building and that the
company sent an inspector to inyestl-
gate; that he reported that lie found
one of the gas mains under the build
ing leaking, this report being made be-
fore the gas company's Office closed
in the afternoon and several hours be-
fore the explosion.
All this volume Of theory and evil
dence has gone long way to con
vince the general public that organized
labor was in no way connected with
the disaster. 1t is said that few peo'
pie IN Los Angeles now hold to the
opinion that so called ''unionites" were
TO blame, but are satisfied that the ex-
plosion was caused by escaping gas
