PARkERSBURG. w. Va. Feb. -
Uncle Lewis Bennett is going TO try
to como back. He has started. and f.
on his way. This afYectionate che-iId
OF Democracy. sometimes Louis the
Warm-Hearted. and at other times
Loving Looey. is no burnt child that
breads the fire. He wants to try Il
over again with the Republican party
for the governorship prize. and is let
ting that fact be known to his
friends
The warm reception OF Sam Woods
announcement by the Democratic
press has served TO help Bennett and
add TO his desire TO again be made
the head OF his pa-ty's State ticket.
There was such a unanimity of dis
approval OF the Barbour man, where
there was any expression at all, and
such frig.d. frozen silence where
there was no editorial articulation.
that his nomination seems at this
carly juncture TO be altogether out
OF the question. Immediately, the
party patriots turned from Woods 10

Few enough of them. TO be sure-and
there loomed up before their investi-
eating gaze the blandly smiling face
OF the Warm One OF Weston. with
innocent blue eyes euffused with
yearning; and also. the heavyweight,

cratic eleven. Col. Wylie Beall, OF
Wellsburg.
Being better known than the color

. showed UP stronger by the contrast
for the time being. but that doesn't
argue that 1t viii continue so. Just
now there are only two who may be
considered candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination. not mentioning
the Barbour county man. and they
are Bennett and Deail. Bradstreets
| punches them in the Doodle class
along with a few other unfortunates.
Bennett Has Claims.
Bennett. who was the candidate
whom Governor Glasscock stopped in
the eleventh round. It must be said.
has some pretty strong claims for
the nomination this time. Four
years ago. he was willing 10 take a
chance az the game when his party

has now. nor imbued with such high
hopes ~ victory. and he made a very
creditable race as tine figures OF that
election show. lie ran thousands OF
votes ahead - his ticket. Another
thing. Bennett. who is a shrewd and
successful business man who has
piled up a mountain of money. has sN-
