southern
Candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney is Splendidly
Qualified for Place.

The Salem Herald in this weeks
Tissue comments on the candidacy of
John c. Southern for the office of
prosecuting attorney of this county
as follows:
The election of prosecuting at
torney is one of the most important
duties the voters of Harrison county
will perform November 3.
The Office requires a lawyer of
ability and a man of ablsoule integ-
rity.
This paper is a partisan publica-
ton; but it prides itself that its iudg-
ment about such important places as
prosecuting attorney should and
does stand the test of calm dellbera-
ton as we'll as partisanshlp.
In our deliberate Judgment John C..
Southern, whose nomination is certi-
fed on both the Republican and Pro-
gressive tickets, appears to be the
very sort of man to fill the office to
the entire satisfaction of the people.
Southern's ability as lawyer is
not questioned by his most. active OPP
ponents His experience in the prep
aration and trial of law cases and his
extensive practice in all branches Of
law peculiarly fit him to represent
the people as his client in any case,
civil or criminal, that they may wish
TO bring in any court. He is one of
the brightest and best of the younger
lawyers at the Clarksburg bar.
His personal fitness is equal to his
professional qualifications.
With an absolutely clean record,
Southern is man Of high morals.
without cant;-honest, without by
Observation-Disclosures, without Big
otry.
His acquaintance froL boyhood
know him to be an upright young man.
His quiet and unassuming manner
and dignified method of campaigning
also count in his favor
He is entirely worthy of election
as prosecuting attorney
He will make an officer of whom
the people will be proud.

giving Day.

FAIRMONT, Oct. 21-With the
definite announcement made at
Morgantown last week that the
West Virginia University-D ennison
University football game would be
played at Fairmout on Thauksgtv-
ing Day, interest in the contest is
looming up here and in nearby
towns, as the game offers very
large number of West Virginians an
elegant opportunity to see good

been active already in securing the

cial success. Also in Fairmont, en-

ter on its annual visit to West Vir-
ginia.
The game will be played at beau
tiful South Side Park, which will
be changed around to make it suit
able for football. The playing field
will be laid out along the grand
stand and bleacher fronts and it is
likely that row of bleacher seats
will be constructed on the opposite
side of the field. At any event there
will be seating accommodations fol-
at least 5000 patrons.
Announcement is made in Nor,
gantown that there will be specia
train over the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad to carry the Varsity team
the students and the Cadet band. II

CHICAGO. June 2O.-The demand
for a third candidate and the elimi-
nation of both Taft and Roosevelt

can National Convention. starting

bounds.
Congressman Serene r. Payne, co.

today.
That the Hadley men recognize
this, was shown by many OF them sug
gesting that Hadley was the ideal
candidate for the vice-presidency
with President Taft
But the rank and file Of the dele
gates who want victory at the polls
next November were openly talking
Hadley as the ideal candidate for the
head Of the ticket

determination at first announced to
have no publicity and to limit the de-
bate TO FIVE minutes on a side-was
seized upon as the occasion for the re
volt which the Roosevelt people have
seen coming for several days. A crowd
of 80 OF 10 of Roosevelt's friends were
gathered in the coloners suite at 10

committees action was received.

"This is where we ought to quit. We
have waited long enough Tell our peo-

This announcement brought the en-
tire party to its feet cheering, and mes
