mission had completed its work the
Legislature adjourned and the fourth
Of March arrived
Three Governors.
When the day for the Inauguration
Of the State officials came. General
COZ appeared and took the oath Of
office. He Immediately went TO Gov
ernor F. Willis Wilson and demanded
that he yacate at once so he could
enter upon his duties Governor VIII
son politely and firmly advised the
General that he would not comply with
the request because he had not been
fullp declared elected and. therefore.
he was duty bound to perform the du-
ties of the Office until his successor
was declared elected and qualified.
General Cor then appealed TO the
State Supreme Court for a mandamus
TO compel Governor Wilson to surren-
der the office. The Governor appear
ed in person before the court, and, in
a powerful argument, set forth his rea.
sons why he should not give up the
office, stating that no governor had
been declared elected. and that he
could not, under the constitution, turn
over the States affairs until the com.
mission, appointed by the Legislature,
had filed a report and declared the
successful candidate. The court agreed
with him and denied the mandamus.
Colonel Robert S. Carr. of Charles.
ton, was then president of the Senate
He, too, took the oath as governor.
and demanded of Governor Wilson
that the office be surrendered to him.
The Governor again refused TO vacate,
and Mr.. Carr asked the state Supreme
Court for mandamus to compel the
chief executive to retire in his favor.
Governor Wilson again appeared be,
fore the court, and in an able argu-
ment stated why he should retain the
office Again the court agreed with
him, and he continued in office for al
most year after his term expired
The commission spent the greater
part of "A year canvassing the election
returns, and investigating the illegal
voting After all returns had been
carefully canyassed and all arguments
heard on both sides relative to the
case, the commission declared Judge
Fleming elected. He appeared and
took the oath Of Office and served out
the remainder of his term.
Local History.
A little local history in connection
with Governor e. Willis Wilson will
bring to the minds of many the re-
markable contest that was waged be
tween him and Judge Faulkner for the
nomination in 1884 The State con
yention was held in this city on the
old fair grounds. There were but two
candidates in the fleld-Mr Wilson
and Mr.. Faulkner. Judge Lucas. of
Jefferson county, was Mr.. Wilson's
manager, and after a long and bitter
battle succeeded in winning a victory

MUCH INTEREST
MANIFESTED IN
DOCTOR HATFIELD
Should He Not Recover, Who
Would Succeed Him?
GOVERNOR WOULD CALL
A SPECIAL ELECTION

Attor1e, Agree That Would &c Tire

Question Arises-No Statute Con
corning case-some History of
Events Concerning The Governors
Char.
The serious illness OF Governorelect
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 filing the gubernato-
rial chair after an election.
The State constitution makes pro
vision for the filling 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 devolye upon Cover
nor Glasscock to call a special cleo
ton for the purpose of letting the peo-
pie select some one who would quail
fy 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 againg
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. 1t
then becomes his duty to call spe-
cial election for the purpose of filling
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
cessity for a special election.
Should the president of the senate
not qualify, or die or be removed then
the speaker of the house would be
come governor and perform the duties
Of that Office as prescribed by the con
stitution.
A number of local attorneys claim
that should DR.. Hatfield die the sit
uation would be very acute one, and
very delicate question would be in
volyed However, they agree that
about the only way out of it would be
for the governor to call a special cleo
ton

A Little History.

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 o. Railroad Compa-
ny, Charleston; George w. Atkinson.
judge of the United States Court of
Claims, Washington; a. b. White.
banker, Parkersburg; w. NJ. 0. Daw-
son, politician, Charleston. Messrs.
Fleming and McCOrkle are Democrats.
The first governor who failed to
serve his fun term was Arthur |. Bore
man. When the Legislature met in
January, 1868, he was elected to the
United States Senate Desiring to
reach Washington before March 4th,
that pear, he resigned Daniel d. T..
Farnsworth, of Buckhannon, was pres
ident of the Senate, and, of course,
succeeded him. He served but a few
days when Goyernor-elect John ].
Jacob entered upon his duties At
that time the governors only served
two years, and were eligible for re-
election
Goff-FIeming Case.
The next trouble arose was in the
fall of 1883. That year the Democrats
nominated Judge A, Brooks Fleming,
of Fairmont, aud the Republicans nam
ed General Nathan Goff, of Clarks-
burg. The face of the returns showed
that the latter was elected by ITO ma
jority. Immediately following the
election the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee held a meeting and de-
cided 10 contest the election. alleging
that General Gohs majority WAS Sc
cured by negroes beins imported from
Tennessee and Virginia and had voted.
Judge Fleming served notice on
General Golf that the election would
be contested, and set forth his rea-
sons When the legislature convened

RING UP AT NINE O'CLOCK.

For some time past complaints have been registered about the late ringing up of the curtain at the Roberts com pany shows. These have become weekly more numerous and insistent At first the management considered they were meeting the wishes of a majority by raising the curtain at s:30 p. m., but Gillard has finally been prevailed upon to ring up his curtain at g D. m. sharp. It is hoped that the theater goers of Nome will see the advisabllity of this and quick ly suit themselves to the new condi tons.
 Nothing spells performance both for onlookers and actors so much as late stragglers. In the larger cities when patrons arrive late they are compelled to sit out the first act at the back of the theater. The idea ot being late has lost vogue in the twen tieth century and is not considered good form.

TAFT SAYS ROOSEVELT WILL
 RUN ONLY A BAD THIRD

of anyone at all.
 So bitter is the president now be- lieved to be against his former friend that should Roosevelt be elected 1t is more than likely that he would find the White House deserted by his pre- decessor before his day of inaugura tiun. It is sure that Taft will never extend to him the courtesies that are customary on such an occasion. and } rather undignified scene would be sure to result.
 It is generally conceded that Roose welt will show more strength in the West. although he will receive large support from some of the foreign peo- pie of New York city. This Is princi pally because of what is alleged to ba a carefully studied effort while in of fee to get into the good graces of the people of foreign birth and people who differed in faith from the majority Amongst them he is sure to poll a very strong vote.

 The message included the state mcnt that the republicans have now carefully gone over the s'taation all over the country without in the least leaving themselves open to self deceit. It has been found generally that even in places where Roosevelt receives the, greatest receptions the body of the people. Hilles says. are solid for the principles which Mir. Taft represents
 At the conference in New York next Tuesday most important steps will be taken for the furtherance of the campaign. Most of thee leaders are said to agree that no matter who is first or second Roosevelt is sure of being only third. In few cases It has been admitted that the republi cans fear Wilson much more than the candidate of the prosressives. but every one Is careful to avoid saying officially that any fear is entertained

SKAGWAY. Sept. President Dickeson of the White Pass and Yu- kon route denies that the railroad has been sold to the Grand Trunk Pacific or to anyone else. He declined. when asked. to say whether a sole is in prospect or whether any advances had been made by the people of the Can adian road toward purchase.
 The opinion is general here that Dickeson's denial is rather diplo- matic move as the report of the sale was founded on the word of those who are in position to know.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-In a mes sage received here today by Chair
 man Hilles. President Taft committed himself to the statement that Roose
 welt wil run only very bad third in the race for the presidency. The executive said that this statement was made only after the most careful con sideration and examination of the
 prospects for the different candidates by himself and by the various leaders throughout the country. The message contained no guess as to who would be second. but it plainly conveys the opinion of Mir. Taft to be that the democrat will easily beat the progres sive. It is pretty well known that Taft would rather now see Wilson the next president than Theodore Roose- velt. He has stated over and over that Roosevelt has all the faults of the democrats and does not possess the democratic virtue of being loyal tO
