Among candidates for the office oil
United States District Attorney FOR the
Northern District of West Virginia we
are pleased to note Hon. ]. Hop. Woods
of Barbour. an able faithful. Democrat.
always on the watch tower; Col. Stuart
w. Walker of Berkeley. late Democratic
State Chairman and an able lawyer; Hon
b. H. Hiner of Pendeton, late candidate
for Congressman-at-L Large and vel
known throughout the State; Hon. T.
S. Riley, of Wheeling; Attorney
II. H. Mccormick of TINS place, hereto
fore mentioned and an ardent Wilson
man And last, but not thereby least,
orr countyman Geo. NJ. Belzhoover. Jr..
shes his caster into the ring for this
position. Mr.. Bel'zhoover graduated
with distinction at the West Virginia
University, receiving the degrees of A.
b.. and later that of L. l.. B.. and has
been in active practice at the Jefferson
bar for eleven years, conducting many
OF the most important cases. He is ag-
pressive, fear ess and competent. and al
ways gives close attention to business.
He was an original and ardent Wilson
man, and his friends would be pleased
to see him receive this appointment, be-
licving that it would be worthily
bestowed.

We are Informed that Hon George
w. Johnson, of Petersburg viii be ?
candidate for Internal Revenue C,llecto,
under the Wilson adm nlstra,iou We
hope he will have no opposition. He is
a chiv9lrous gentleman and Democrat
who stands by friends aud hts party
princip es. and is ALWAYS found on the
firing line. BY his selection the party
state and administration would he
honored. There is no more deserving
and no more efficicnt man for the posi-
ton IN the state. There are numbt r
of important positions to be filed bv
President-elect Wilson, incluling In
ternal Revenue Collector, which office
is now filed by Mr., Work, of Parkers-
bnrg two United States District After
neys. two U S. Marshals. aud number
of Presidential postoffices. The new
administration is largely to be gagged
by the character of the officials who are
given the positions of trust. and we shall
be pleased to see President Wilson begin
by appointing in the state such men as
Mr.. Johnson. No better selection could
be made.-Hinton Independent Herald.
George Johnson is native of Jefferson
of whom we are justly proud-a true
blue Democrat without varying or shadow
of turning. all wool and yard wide
every time. We heartily endorse his
candidacy and wish him much success.

The Leader notes with pleasure that
many exchanges from all parts Of the
State, including Democratic and Re-
publican papers, favor Colonel John r.
McGraw for a position in Woodrow
Wilson's cabinet. No better selection
could be m 4de. 1t is we'll known that
Colonel McGraw was the original Wilson
man in the State. and that he stood firm
even when nearly all the other Demo-
cratic leaders in West Virginia went in
to the Clark camp. Colouel McGrsw
did as much to secure Wilson's nomina-
ton at Baltimore as did any other man
IN the country. 1t was his matchless
oratory in his Statewide campaign las
fall that gave Wilson the large plurality
in West Virginia at the late election
Colonel McGraw deserves the best there
is at the hands of the party he has al
ways rived SO loyalty. and no man in
the country is better fitted to grace a
cabinet position than the brilliant Yves,
Virginiau of whom all are Justly proud

THE CROP MARKETS
Cereals All Lower on Account OF
RainS-Coffee Higher.

Continuation Of the rain OF Thursday and
its extension into Indiana and Illinois, with
the assurance that the wheat states east
OF the Rocky Mountains would have all the
moisture they needed, caused selling pres
sure in the wheat market yesterday which
drove prices down to a level 4m2c below
Thursdays final figures. last figures being
near the bottom. Soft winter wheat crop
conditions are regarded as excellent, and
prospects in Kansas and Nebraska point
to 100000 and IS 1909, coo bushels respectively
of hard winter wheat. Bullish European
reports had no force in staying the drop
in prices here. The corn market tried hard
to keep up a bold front, but finally gave
way, SsG1Ac marking the total drop when
trading was ended. Oats were also steady
early, but eased off to a net decline OF
%a1ac. 1t was said that new standard oats
had been bought In Illinois at 44c track
July shipment, but they not likely to
reach Chicago before August.
Coffee, under covering by European
shorts, buying for local account, and a
boost In prices by roasters, was firm all
day. and although there was comparatively
little outside buying the market closed at
about the top, with sales Of l05,75o bags,
and an advance OF eight to fourteen points
over Thursdays finish.
