CALLS
Soon to Be Issued for the
Democratic Safe Con-
vention.

CHARLESTON, Mar. 15.-An exam
ina;ion of the records showing the
vote cast for Louis Bennett for gov
ernor IN 1908 Slows that 1884 votes
were cast for the Democratic nom.-
nee, and taking the certified vote cast
In each county Of the state and baslng
the representation on one to every
100 votes cast for Bennett, and
majority fraction thereof, the Demo-
cratic state convention will have 1888
delegates. making 595 necessary for
choice. BY an examination of the
certified vote IT is found that Kanaw-
ha county will have the largest dele
cation, while Ohio county will be next
with seventy-five, or one less than
Kanawha. Had one more vote been
cast in Kanawha county, it would
have had one more delegate, or as
many as Kanawha. Another county
that finds itself in the same position
is Lincoln, 1850 votes we're cast for
Bennett. One more vote would have
given Lincoln eighteen instead of
seventeen delegates.
1t will be noticed that If the ap-
portionment had been even the
Democratic convention would have
100 instead of 1888 delegates, the
TWO being ,ost through the fractions
that OF the vote in most Instances
being below the fraction of fifty in
stead of above.
1t is understood here that the cal!

BRANCH ROAD
And other Local Improve
ments to Be Recommended
As Result of Visit Here.

When in Baltimore Monday OF
this week H. v. D. King. of the local
board of trade secured the promise
of Mr.. Randolph, first yicefpresident
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, to visit Clarksburg the
end of the week together with Mr..
Thompson, general manager, and, If
possible. to have Mr.. Willard ac-
company them. In accordance with
this promise Mr.. Randolph and Mr..
Thompson, together with & General
Superintendent Blazer and 1.-THE SUI
perintendent of this division, arrived
in Clarsburg this morning on No. 9.
A trip was first made by the party
in a special trolley car furnished by
the traction company and accom-
panied by General Manager Watson
10 Hartland and Judge Goff's Oak
Mound farm, locking to the indus
trial development of that point. The
principal object of this visit was to
determine the practicability of the
railroads getting into the Oak
Mound farm with its own line. Mr..
Randolph was satisfied that this was
thoroughly practicable and he
made the statement that he would
recommend to his management the
expenditure necessary, which was
estimated to be $4,000. to throw
bridge from the West Virginia and
Pittsburg branch across the river
into Judge Goff's property and pro-
vide for necessary switches there
on.
The party left the trolley car at
the tunnel on the West Virginia and
Pittsburg line and was there met by
a special hauling one of the private
cars, which was brought back and
through the city going up over the
Industrial track in order that Mr..
Randolph could see the development
made in that direction since his last
trip. On arriving at the end of the
switch at the South Penn Oil Com
pany's property, he was shown
where the projection would be made
from that point following Elk creek
to the Southern farm, the building
of which has already been approved
by the Baltimore and Ohio manage
ment.
MIR. Thompson, general manager
OF the Baltimore and Ohio, made the
statement that the improvements
contemplated for the freight depot
and additional tracks at this point
would be made on or about April l.
las the special was being hauled
over the main line through the city,
from which point fine view is
seen of the whole of Clarksburg dis
trict, Mr.. Randolph remarked on the
sight and stated that Clarksburg,
with its tall buildings looming up IN
the distance, presented quite pic
ture of a small metropolitan city
The visit of the Baltimore and
Ohio officials to this city means
much for the Industrial develop
ment of this community and 1t shows
a disposition on the part of the rail-
road to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent in that development. Mr.. Ran
dolph suggested to Mr.. King many
interesting features along industrial
development lines, which will be
matter of cooperation for the fu-
ture, and which. when consummated.
will obviate much of the switching
