Judge William George Bennett


For many years Judge William
George Bennett of Weston has been
one of the leaders of the West Vir-
ginia democracy, and one of the
sterling citizens of the State. Born
In what is now West Virginia, he
left the Virginia Military Institute
at tender age to take arms in the
defense of the confederacy, and he
was one Of that gallant band of
mere boys who fought so nobly the
veteran soldiers Of the union at New
Market Following the war. he took
up the profession of the law, in
which he soon attained marked
success. For many years he was
judge of the circuit in which he
lived, and was generally recognized
as one Of the ablest judges that have
ever sat upon .ne Circuit bench in
this State. His decisions have been
marked for their fairness, and for
judicial temperament and profound
knowledge of the law The uniform
ity with which they were upheld by
the Supreme court on appeal is a
splendid tribute to the worth Of the
man on the bench.
Judge Bennett has also taken an
active part in democratic politics,
and has often been mentioned for
high office. He was in 1892 a can
didate. for the democratic guberna-
Material nomination and was defeat
ed by William A. McCorkfe by only
narrow margin He has never
sulked in his tent, but has ever been
ready and willing to lend his aid
and support to the democratic cause
Judge Bennett is being widely
suggested as logical candidate for
one Of the democratic nominations
for Judge of the supreme court to
be made by the judicial nominating
convention to be held in Parkers-
burg on June b.. If he permits his
name to go before that convention
Judge Bennett will prove a strong
contender for the nomination. In
deed he would appear almost as
sured of being made a candidate
Judge Bennett IS strong campaign
er, and, If nominated, will wage an
active, dignified and winning fight
And, on the bench, he will prove a
judge In whom the people of the
state may well axe pride.
The above we find in the. Hunt
ington Advertiser and it is fine
tribute to a good man. Too much
could not be said Of his excellent
qualities and splendid record. lie
would fit the place suggested by the
Advertiser as few other men could
and would grace the Supreme Court
bench with that dignity and nonor
which would be of great credit to
the State. We hope that this hon
orable and DISTINGUISHED son can be
induced to accept the nomination.
He would honor the bench in the
highest court of our State rather
than the place honorng him. Hear
tily we join in the suggestion mode
that Judge Bennett is the logical
man for the Supreme Court of West
Virginia.

BACKS DIRECT VOTE
Def.
Writes Letter Demanding for People
Right to Select Candidates.


Right to Select Candidates.
Theodore Roosevelt personally has
taken up the cudgels to compel, If
possible, nationwide presidential
preference test-the result of the
test to determine the course of the
Chicago convention.
Following the refusal of Director
Mckinley of the Taft campaign to
make further answer to the repeated
challenges of Senator Dixon, mana
ger of the Roosevelt campaign, for a
popular test of Republican sentiment
as to the Chicago nomination, the
national Roosevelt Headquarters
have given out long letter from
Col. Roosevelt to Senator Dixon +
In this letter Col. Roosevelt in
Weighs against what he caracterizes
as the reactionary element within the
Republican party which he CHARGES,
is exerting it's utmost power to de-
prive the body of the party of any
real voice in the national conven-
ton. He discusses the desirability
of presidential expression in detail
and concludes:
There never was a straighter
fight waged for the principle of pop
ular rule than that which we are
now waging. We are fighting against
intrenched privilege, both political
privilege and financial privilege We
believe that if given a fair chance
the people will declare against both
political and financial privilege.
Therefore, we demand that they be
given that fair chance If the peo-
pie decide against us, we will bow
eheerfully to the decision, confident
that they will in the end see that
the cause for which we fight is in
deed the cause of human rights and
human welfare.
If we did not know Teddy Roose-
Welt 50 well politically. we should
take him for full-fedged Demo-
crat. Mr.. Billy Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, had better look to his laurels.
Teddy has stolen all Of his thunder
and is trying to MAKE good with it.
All this must make Mr.. Bryan sm ile
To see all OF his old doctrines
brought to the front from such
source is amusing to say the least
of it

The Only Choice.

The only choice offered the rank
and file of the Republican party is
a choice between bosses. Scott
on one side; lawson on the other.
You pays your money and You takes
your choice"
There is but one way for West
Virginia Republican to work against
the machine. If he supports the
Taft crowd he indicates his prefer
ence for Scott. Ogden and Davis Ell
kins, as chief engineers of the ma
chine. II he follows the Roosevelt
crowd he expresses his preference to
be bossed by former Governor Daw-
son, Acknowledgement Elliott and
their friends. There is no way to
support the Republican party in
West Virginia and escape the ma
chine. A complete overthrow Of
the Republican party will be requir-
ed before there can be new leader
ship in West Virginia. The only way
for the Republicans in West Virginia
to clean house is to give both sides
to understand that they don't want
to be bossed by either of them; that
they don't want either faction Of the
state machine to control and to give
the state machine dose of the same
medicine which the machine gave
Swisher and Scherr four years ago,
when they kicked them both out.
With both sides in the Republican
fight led by members of the old ma
chine there is no way by which a
West Virginia Republican can get
away from the machine and stick to
his party.-Geo. w Summers.
