Il Will Be Sanders.

..v"yelles Enterprise: We
would be greatly astonished
il Governor Sanders was not
elected as senator. We be.
ieve that lie will win in the
FIRST race. The faith that is
in us concerning this matter
results from a careful survey
of the whole field. We have
kept up with current events
as they have happened in
every section Of the state.
We find him strong, es-
pecially strong, in north
Louisiana. He will get a
good vote in central and south
Louisiana. In New Orleans
his vote will exceed the COM
bined votes Of his opponents.
We are not coloring this
statement. We are simply
saying what are facts, and
for proof we refer to the
speeches of his opponents.
Both of them are unfailing
in their condemnation of his
public acts, and both of them
make it plainly understood
that they fear him.
Governor Sanders will be
elected. He has fought down
the opposition. He has con-
Quoted his campaign in a
manly way. He has appealed
to the voters for their sup.
port! He has offered his
merits as the inducement, and
he has most properly ignored
his opponents. He has not
conducted a campaign of
mud-slinging. He has stood
squarely as a Democrat who
desires to represent a Demo
cratic state, and on that issue
he will win.

Another commendable act on the

several weeks in a hospital as ty-
phoid fever patients, and after being
discharged from the institution; he
was too weak to resume his work as

belongings and came to C!arksburg,
but had to walk all the way from
Grafton as their funds were ex-
hausted. They arrived here with
out money and without friends. He
got a position in the railroad yards

a place to board for the time being.
He and his weak and sickly wife
spent the day walking the streets In
quest OF such place without cue

for a season that he might gain a

trustee Of the college arranged en-
ployment in a school at Bement.
ILL.,, which happened to ibe in the
district of William B. Mckinley.
the Taft manager in the late pre-
convention campaign.
1t was during his two years at
Bement that he met and wooed Miss
Leila Ellars. who is now Mrs.
Thompson.
First Political Position
He graduated in the law school in
1885, and began practice at Iron
ton, according to his original inten-
ton. In 1903 he was elected to tie
Legislature. and won the speakership
during his second term.
Mr.. Thompson was elected secre-
tary of state while yet a member of
the assembly, and jumped from a
salary of $1,000 to SO, 900 a year.
In those days, the candidate for SECS
rotary OF state, headed the ticket,
and while Republican conditions
were not the best, Owing to the de-
feat Of Governor Herrick the year
before, Mr !. Thompson had $4,000
majority. leading all, other candi-
dates. He was easily re-nominated
in 1908, and while Harmon. a DEM
ocrat, was elected governor, Thomp-
sons majority was ample, and he
did much to make sure of big ma
jorlty for President Taft. even If
the Republicans lost the governor.
His Home Life.
Secretary Thompson's family con-
sists of his wife and daughter,
Gladys, ~ years old, and their Wash
ington home is in the Woodward
apartment house. Both Secretary
and Mrs. Thompson have appreci-
ated the pleasures of social life in
Washington, but both insist that af-
ter all Ohio is home, and they are
loyal to old Lawrence county, where
their married life began.
Secretary Thompson has had a
military training and experience, and
won the rank OF colonel in the Ohio
national guard He began as a prl-
vate when IS years old, and kept
moving up until he commanded the
Seventh Ohio, with Senator Dick as
major general in command of all
the Ohio troops. During the Span
ish-Amerfcan war Carmi Thompson
was captain, and saw actual SER
vice. He continued in the natlona-
guard until elected secretary or
state. and has not wholly lost his in
terest in militia affairs. Through
out Ohio he is known as colonel,
and his long connection with the
Ohio military establishment Helped
much in his political advancement.

covered with thin film of the binder.
This method in general insures the bet
ter and more even distribution of the
binder throughout the road surface,
but the cost is greater than that OF the
penetration method.
One Of the chief causes of the great
number Of failures which have been
recorded in the use OF bituminous road
materials is the failure OF the user as
well as. manufacturer to understand
certain fundamental principles. To
many a tar is simply a tar and an oil
an oil, while in reality there Is a vast
difference sometimes even In the tars
produced at the same works. The oils
also range from those OF a paraffin

DIX APPEALS FOR CHINESE
Urges New Yorkers to Aid Millions
Who Facn Dastitution and Death.

Albany, Jan. 29-As president Of the New
York State Board of the American Red
Cross, Governor Dix to-day issued an ap-
peal for contributions TO the Chinese Re-
lief Fund. lie asks that the money be sent
to Jacob II. Schff. of New York, treasurer
Of the board. The Governor says
Flood and famine have again devastated
great provinces In China and millions Of
human beings are facing destitution and
death. Reports from American residents
in China and from representatives of the
American National Red Cross who have
visited the stricken regions agree that con-
ditions are appalling. and that they must
continue without abatement until alleviated
by the charitable efforts of other coun-
tries.
AS president Of the New York State Board
Of the American Red Cross ! urge the peo-
pie Of the State of New York out of their
abundance to make generous and prompt
response to this call of humanity. Condi-
tions in China are pltiful and terrible. and
this appeal TO the people of the Empire
state should not be in vain.
