PRAISE FOR 3. & o.
Railroad Highly Commended for De-
velopment of Its Service.

In an editorial published October 81
with reference to the physical condi-
ton OF service and cooperative efforts
OF the B. & o. railroad toward the
development of the territop served
by it's lines, the Manufacturers Rec
ord says:
"The energy with which the b. & o.
railroad during the last year or two
has been developing it's passenger
traffic, as well as its freight business
is worthy OF all commentator. Many
years ago that road got into bad re-
pute as passenger railroad. Its then
managed had failed to keep the road
and the rolling stock abreast of the
times. But since these days many
millions of dollars have been expend-
ed in perfecting the physical condition
OF the road and enlarging its facilities
for handling freight and passenger
traffic. The men now responsible for
its management are giving to the coun-
try tributary to this line one OF the
most splendidly constructed and equip
ped railroads in the country.
They are, moreover. developing
among its force an esprit de corps and
an attention to the little things as
well as the big things which add to
the comforts and the discomforts OF
travel. And they are taking at the
same time very broad view of their
relation to the country tributary TO
them. The people of Baltimore have
hardly awakened to a full apprecia-
ton of these changes IN methods, in
management and physical conditions,
nor have they quite grasped what the
b. e. O., as it now is, means to the
progress and prosperity OF this city.

that always counts for something, but

Should He Not Recover, Who
Would Succeed Him
GOVERNOR WOULD CALL
A SPECIAL ELECTION

Oniy PROCEDURE out CSliSs'sS
Question Arises--No Statute Ger
corning case--some History Of
Events Concerning The Governors
Chair.
The serious illness of Governor elect
Henry d. Hatfield has caused consider.
able speculation as to what would be
the result in case of his death Such
a condition has never arisen before
in this State, although we have had
some difficulty in filling the gubernato.
rial chair after an election.
The State constitution makes pro.
vision for the filing Of a vacancy in
case the governor should fail to quail
ify, be removed, or should die. But
in this particular instance there is no
statute which specifically covers the
case The best informed attorneys
agree that should Dr. Hatfield not re
cover it would devolve upon Cover
nor Glasscock to call a special cleo
tion for the purpose of letting the peo-
pie select some one who would quail
fly as governor March 4, 1913. This
being the case, all parties would have
an opportunity OF naming a candidate
and the fight would have to be made
over again.
The State constitution plainly pro-
vides for the filling of a vacancy
should one arise in the governors of
fee Should the governor die, or be
removed before he has served three
years of his term, the president of the
senate becomes the chief executive. II
then becomes his duty to call spe-
cial election for the purpose of filing
the vacancy. Should the vacancy oc-
cur after the governor has served
three years, the president of the sen
succeeds him and serves the remain
der of the term, as there would no ne

Should the president of the senate
not qualify, or die or be removed then

A little history about our governors
perhaps would not be out of place.
None of our chief executives have died
in office, none have died before quail
flying, none have been dismissed from
office, one failed to serve out his full
term, and one served more than his
term.
We have five eX-governors living,
namely, A. Brooks Fleming, chief
counsel for the Standard Oil Company
and the Consolidation Coal Company,
Fairmont; William A. McCorkle, coun-
sci for the c. and 0. Railroad Compa-
ny. Charleston; George w. Atkinson,
judge of the United States Court of
Claims, Washington; A. b. White,
banker, Parkersburg; w. M. o. Daw-
son, politician, Charleston. Messrs.
Fleming and McCorkle are Democrats.
The first governor who failed to
serve his full term was Arthur /. Bore
man. When the Legislature met in
January, 1869, he was elected to the
United States Senate. Desiring to
reach Washington before March 4th,
that year. he resigned. Daniel ID. T.
Farnsworth, of Buckhannon, was pres
ident of the Senate, and, of course,
succeeded him. He served but a few
days when Governor-elect John J..
Jacob entered upon his duties. At
that time the governors only served
two years, and were eligible for re-
election
Goff-Fleming Case.
The next trouble arose was in the
fall of 1883, That year the Democrats
nominated Judge A. Brooks Fleming,
of Fairmont and the Republicans nam
ed General Nathan Goff, of Clarks-
burg. The face of the returns showed
that the latter was elected by 40 ma
