SENTIMENT IN WEST
VIRGINIA IS STRONG
. FOR THE COLONEL
Despite Efforts of Fish Com
missioner Bowers Roose-
welt Scores Victory.

Martinsburg. w. Va. and all of
Berkeley county Is for Roosevelt. The
county will send twenty-eight Roose-
welt delegates to the State convention.
Fish Commissioner George NJ. Bow
ers. a native of Martinsburg, worked
valiantly for the Administration In his
home town, but to no avail.
The fight in this hustling little West
Virginia manufacturing town is. des-
cribed by a native In this wise: In
letter of recent date to a friend in
Washington.
For the last month the Hon. George
NJ. Bowers, commissioner Of fish and
fisheries, has devoted all of the time
he could spare from his arduous duties,
to building up a strong Taft machine in
this city. In this he was strongly as
sisted by his postmaster, r. G. Hen
shaw, and his postmaster to be, C. NJ.
Lamar; u. 8. Commissioner w. II.
Thomas and one or two other legal
lights.
ION the 4th, Boss Bowers arrived in
the city, called his cohorts together and
announced to them that the President
expected them to hang together or he
would hang them all separately.
Opposed to him was young pro-
gressive, scarcely known. In fact one
of the town papers published an article
few days ago, asking who is Nat.
7. Frame, who dares to talk of progress
I'm this stand-pat town. Frame had
gathered a little band of young men
around him.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away, the net result of the efforts OF
Boss Bowers and his p. NJ, who is,
and the one to be, after a three weeks
campaign, was ninety-seven votes all
told. This included the Boss and his
family and the p. Ms. and their families,
with all of his employees and Govern
ment employees. The progressives had
polled nearly twice as many Another
victory like that and Berkeley county
will be done with bossism.
NET result in the county Is seventeen
| delegates for Roosevelt, and eleven for
Taft But as Berkeley county always
enforces the unit rule 1t means twenty
eight for Teddy.

Frank A. Munsey Urges
Roosevelt's Reelection

1T looks like a Democratic, victory
this fall. except on the chance that
Colonel Roosevelt may be nominated In
June at Chicago, or that some compro-
mise candidate like Justice Hughes may
become the standard-bearer." says
Frank A. Munsey in an article in Mum
sey's Magazine for April entitled The
Business Situation, and Its Relation to
the Political Struggle"
IF the contest now on in earnest be-
tween the followers of Roosevelt and
the followers OF Taft results in Roose-
velt,s nomination, his nomination will
presage his election, and his election
would mean, naturally, the continue tion
of the present party In power, with a
man in the white House who is the
embodiment of initiative and energy.
Now that the measures for which Mr..
Roosevelt made his great fights as Presi-
dent have largely become the law OF
the land, and now that the corporations
are being brought under control of the
Government, II Is my belief that II again
made President, he would chiefly devote
himself to revivifying our industries and
our business. and would devote him
self with all his tremendous powers
of application, to a broad and big policy
of constructive statesmanship."

The letter follows:
1--WE are the true conservatives,
for in the long run it will b. found
that the only conservative is the man
who resolutely sets his face toward
the future and strives to give guild
ance to those who are struggling to-

tween man and man. We believe
that only through the triumph of tie
principle for which he stands can
business prosperity be assured to this
country on permanent basis, and
we are certain that if these princi-
pies can be embodied in action such
prosperity will come. But the pros
perity must stand on a foundation
of justice, justice to wageworker, to

of doing things. He offered the
following resolution which was unan-
imously adopted.
Buchanan a man of sterling worth,
high moral character, strict honesty,
sSS4Srving integrity, and extraordi-
! ability. His long experience as
a farmer and business man in this
state together with the other quail
tiles, especially qualify him for the
important duties of Governor; and
we hereby pledge him our hearty
support and active assistance in his
campaign for that office. And we
earnestly recommend him to the vot-
ers of this state as worthy of their
hearty support
County Commissioner VIM. Farley
