Wanted Since the Nomination
of JudgeE eYt1eif for the
Supreme Bench.

To the editors of the Telegram:
There are, in Lewis and Harrison
counties, several Republican lawyers
who justly have aspirations to sit upon
the circuit bench in this circuit. ow-
ing to the eminent qualifications and
faithful service OF Judge Lynch, they
would not enter the race against him.
Conditions have now charged, and
Judge Lynch has been called by the
vote OF his party to sit upon the SUI
prerne bench. =
1t is only fair to the Republican
lawyers living in the circuit that they
be given an opportunity to contest for
the nomination for the 1udgeship.
The 10000 Republican voters in
Harrison and Lewis counties should
have an opportunity to choose from
the different lawyers in the circuit, a
candidate for Judge. The rules of the
committee as they now stand deprive
them OF this privilege because Of the
elevation Of Judge Lynch.
We respectfully urge that the judi
eiaI circuit committee hold meeting
and provide for the nomination of a
candidate for circuit Judge early in
the month of July, This will give
ample opportunity for all aspirants to
enter the race, and submit their
claims to the people.
Very respectfully,
A REPUBLICAN VOTER.

as a chief executive of the slate Of
West Virginia after March, 1913,

remarks, first, that l am not a pol

with the medical profession for
more than fifteen years.
Political Career an Accident.
MY political career is a mere ac-
ctdeut, 1t was not my intention
when I first started out in the po-
litical arena to ever aspire to the
Office for which am now seeking;
and I would add that this is the
first time, notwithstanding 4 have
been a member of the state senate Of
West Virginia, this is the first time
I have asked the people, of West
Virginia, or any section, Of the
state to consider me for office. l

ticket in 1908 in the Sixth sena-
torial district by senatorial com
mittee; a committee Of which 1 had
the honor of being a member, and I
voted against myself and induced
another member of the committee
to vote against me, tied the commit
tee at two separate meetings, and
prevented my name being placed up.

date for the state senate. Why?
Because ] preferred 20 practice my
profession. On account of the seri-
GUS illness and death of my father,
/ was called to his home to pay the
last tribute of respect to him, and
during my absence my name was
placed upon the ticket. Upon my
return home in Mcdowell county
only seven days before the general
election in 1908, it was too late for
me to have my name withdrawn,
i therefore, my name remained upon
the ticket, and l am happy to say tc
you tonight that did not solicit the
support of a single man on behalf
of my candidacy; but | was elected
by more than 1000 over the ticket
q merely mention this to indicate to
you the confidence the people of the
southern end OF the state have had
in me, and I know of no reason why
they should change the opinion thai
they had of me in 1908. In fact,
feel that am stronger in the heart:
and stronger with the people of the
southern section OF West Virginia
tonight than l have ever before
