who was one of the sUartest men |
ever knew il my life Whilst that
may be true in genera sense, / want
TO say that there are a rev statesmen
IN the National Capital at this day
who are not dead. have talked not
only with those statesmen, both Re
publicans and Democrats but with
politicians in Congress on both sides
Of the political fence and they all ex-
press the same opinion that this fight
in the Republican party for the nomi-
nation for President between Taft and
Roosevelt is the most rItable, execra-
Bile and disgraceful exhibition that has
ever been seen in American politics.
They all have come 10 the conclusion,
regardless Of party. that neither one
Of these men can be elected to the
Presidency If they are nominated at
Chicago.
Whilst this conclusion is very graf
flying to the Democrats, it is cores
pondingly distastefu eud worrying to
the Republicans. They are all hop
ing. that is the Republicans, that a
deadlock in the Chicago convention
viii ensue and that neither OF them
will be nominated and that a dark
horse, without regard 30 any particu-
lar individual, may be IRE Republican
nominee, and thus cut the Gordian
knot in the Republican party contro-
versy.
With all these conflicting opinions
from the leaders in both parties to
whom | have talked. hesitate before
the Republican National Convention
to predict anything. However, it
seems to me as an Old fashioned poll
tician and political writer and locker
on in Vienna, 50 to slCak, that it
makes no difference he carries the
State Of Ohio and this letter is writ
ten before the Ohio primaries, as to
the final outcome of he campaign, My
opinion is that if the Taft leaders and
the members of the Na;ional Repub-
lican Committee haye a sufficiently
strong hold on their own delegates
that Mr. Taft probably will have
enough votes on the FIRST ballot to
nominate him. If they lave not that
hold and the delegates revolt to
Roosevelt, he may be he nominee on
the first ballet If the former condi-
ton should prevail ia The convention
and the Roosevelt leaders know that
il is invitable that Mr.. Taft is going
to be nominated, they VIII bolt the
convention, hold convention of their
own and nominate Roosevelt on the
plea that he has been swiudled out of
the nomination by jbe steam roller
process of the present administration
Ii makes no difference. whatever,
which end of the bas The Republican
party holds in the ueXJ campaign.
There is going TO b. q Democratic
victory and a DemooGJt.G President in

March If there is no. then Thomas
Jcfferson's opinion of The honesty of
the people of this country who vote at

country districts, the Democrats met
to select delegates to six different
conventions, the State nominating
convention at Huntington, which con
yenes on July 10th; the State con
vention at ParkersburG, to select the
big six delegates to Baltimore and
to nominate candidates for the su-
preme bench, which meets on June
9Th the district delegate convention
here on June 4th; the congressional
convention AZ Grafton on July 9Th;
the senatorial convention here on
June 4th; and the judicial convention
here on May 2Sth. In all Of the ward
meetings and in all the district meet
ings in the county there was an en-
tire absence of bad feeling, and har-
mony spelled in capital letters, pre-
vailed This is the forcrunner which
forecasts victory.
Everyone admits that the candi-
dates who secured the delegates were
entitled to them and all know that we
will have, for the first time in years,
full delegations to all conventions.
In most of the meetings the candi-
dates were given the privilege of Sc
lecting their alternates; and in the
other two, men of known loyalty to
the party's principles were chosen.
Mr.. S. S. Felker, who will be a can
didate for the nomination for State
Auditor before the Huntington con-
yention will take a solid delegation
from this county pledged 10 his candi-
dacy. Mr. Felker is wellknown in pc
litical circles. He was for several
years chairman of the county eXecu-
tive committee and is now filing his
second term as magistrate in this city.
Mr. S. w. Walker will take solid
delegation to the Parkersburg conVen-
ton, pledged to his candidacy as one
of the big six delegates to the Ma
tional convention at Baltimore in
June. Mr.. Walkers name is known
in every county of the State as one of
the bulwarks Of West Virginia dem
ocracy.
Berkeley county will cast here solid
vote for Mr. J. w. Dodd at the Mar
tinsburg convention for district dele
gate to the National convention. Mr..
Dodd has been in the harness ever
since boyhood days ard we believe
the second district will honor him as
one of its standard bearers,
In most Of the districts, Mr. W. G.
Brown, our preSent congressman, will
select his own delegates In all, they
are favorable 10 his denomination, on
account of his splendid record in the
present congress.

senatorial convention. This insuges
his nominations, as jefferson has given
him the right to select her delegates.
Mr. Kump is a young man, who comes
before the people for the first time.
His genial manners and affablc ways
won the hearts of the people and we
ere glad to help honor one Of Hamp-
shire's most distinguished sons.

would be slight compared with the re-

itor in getting data for the special edi-
ton, and in soliciting orders for it. to
the end that ~ large number as posi-

course, the value Of the issue to the
community will be in direct proportion
to the number of copies that are circu-

incurred for halftone illustrations and
special features will be governed largely
by the size Of the advance orders. The
desire is to publish just as fine a Prog

LITERARY SOCIETY
IS REORCANIZED
To Make Effort to Surpass Excel
lent Record of Past Season


Keota Literary Society was reorgan-
lied for the winter season at . meeting
held in the schoolhouse Wednesday sv-
ening, November 13. A brief program
was given, and an extempore debate
held on the question, "Resolved: That
Woman Suffrage Should be Adopted as
= National Measure. Decision was
rendered in favor of the Affirmative.
Election of officers was announced fof
the following meeting.
The second meeting of the season
was held Wednesday of this week. Due
to the threatening weather the attend
ance was confined to the townspeople,
causing some disappointment in the
program. The debate on the question,
Resolved: That Wednesday is Better
Than Friday as the Regular Meeting
Night of the Society,"" was decided in
the affirmative. D. w. Schoonover,
Mrs. Murphy. and ]. A. Rumsey upheld
the winning side, while C. o. Dodder,
Mrs. Schoonover, and T. r. Gurwsll
spoke for the negative. Mrs. Schoon-
over, Mrs. Davis, and Mrs. Trumbo are
the committee on program for the next
meeting, to be held the 9th.
Officers elected are: Chairman, C. l..
Stanley; vice chairman. C. o. Dodder;
secretary, Miss Anna Jobbins; treas
urer, Mrs. Davis. On motion, Mr..
Schoonover. Mr.. Dodder, and Mrs. MUIR
ply were appointed committee on
rules, to report at the next session.
The committee is to use its best judg-
ment in formulating bylaws and rules
Of order, the only suggestion made be-
ing that terms Of Office should be linn
tied to four meetings, or possibly six if
held weekly.
1t is desired to have as large attend
ancs as possible at the next meeting,
particularly Of those who must come
from a distance, as in addition to adopt
ing bylaws the matter of regular
meeting night will be settled at that
time, and it 10 hoped that the night
chosen may be the one most agreeable
to those who have farthest to come.
The sessions of tho society during last
season were the source of much interest
and valuable experience to many people.
With the knowledge of debating, public
speaking, and parliamentary practice
gained then, it il hoped to not only
equal, but to excel the past record. To
many of us here, the society must take
the place Of lectures. theaters and pic
ture shows; and if all take hold with en-
thusiasm and willingness to participate
in the programs and debates, the indi-
vidual good received will be far greater
than would result from attendance at
any Of these forms Of amusement COM
mon to the cities.
Remember the 9th.
