start intended to follow the Glass
cock-Dawson combination. The talk
at Parkersburg is that Dawson, ever
foxy, has seen the futility of it all
and has dropped out. Others who
were active at the Parkersburg con-
yention over two weeks ago admit
that 1t was hopeless proposition from
the start and that Taft will have the
West Virginia delegation with whirl
OF enthusiasm.
Down at Washington, the eminent
Republicans at the head of the Taft
organization, William B. Mckinley,
Senator Crane, Leroy Vernon John
Eyersman,. along with the presidents
secretary, G.. D. Hills, have all gone
out OF, their way to compliment the
splendid work already done by your
state chairman, the Hon. Virgil L,
Highland and those associated with
him in this state. The message sent
by Chairman Highland to Director
Mckinley last week giving straight
forward but eminently satisfactory
report on the Taft trend in West vir-
ginia was SO we'll worded and clean
cut that it was officially given out to
every newspaper of the country
That is a compliment out of the or
binary and besides the administration
is ever pleased with reports from
West Virginia because the original
deviltry had its start in the state"
Then you look upon President
Taft's denomination as sure thing?'
was remarked to Mr.. Gessner, who
replied:
Il never had any other thought,
but recent events in many states in.
dictate wonderful reaction in the
presidents favor. The slump from
Roosevelt began with his recall, ref
ierendum and initiative speech at Col

answered the governors that he
would be a candidate. Republicans
and Democrats the country over de.
clared that his Columbus utterances
put him out Of political life for all
time and had Roosevelt waited week
after that speech he would have
given a polite declination TO your
Glasscock aggregation of governors
You can depend on the Roosevelt
agility to find a way out even now
Once he is convinced OF defeat he

Clever Idea.

Necessity is the mother of inven'
tion," and with stockings so extrava.
gantly sheer and therefore so fright
fully expensive, one clever woman has
devised scheme whereby she always
appears to be clad in the most dain.
tily transparent black hosiery, where
as in reality she is wearing dark
London smoke colored stocking at
about 35 cents pair. The cleverness
of this idea must be demonstrated be-
fore it can receive appreciation. Not
only does the smoke color give the
effect OF extreme transparency, but It
also suggests the daintiest of feet and
ankles. minus the usual unattractive
number OF swollen veins and bumps
that are so obtrusively apparent.
