old committee 1t is little else than
joke therefore that the Taft leaders
here should claim that they are fight
ing machine rule in West Virginia. 1t
would be just as absurd for the Roose-
welt convention to assert that 4 is
fighting machine rule when its recog-
snized leaders are headed By w. NJ. o.
Dawson.
The oaly choice offered the rank
and file OF the republican party is a
choice between bosses. Scott is on
one side; Dawson on the other. 'sYou
pays your money and you takes your
choice"
There is but one way for a West
Virginia republican to work against
the machine. If he supports the. Taft
crowd he Indicates his preference for
Scott, Ogden and Davis Elkins, as
chief engineers of the machine. II he
follows the Roosevelt crowd he ex.
presses to be bossed by former Cow
ernor Dawson, Adjutant General FL
lott and their friends. There is no
way to support the republican party
in West Virginia and escape the ma
chine. A complete overthrow Of both
factions of the republican party viii
be required before there can be new
leadership in West Virginia. The
only way for the republicans in West
Virginia to clean house is to give
both sides to understand that they
don't want to be bossed by either one
of them: that they don't want either
faction of the state machine to con-
troll and to give the state machine
dose of the same medicine which the
machine gave Swisher and Scherr,
four years ago, when they kicked
both of them out.
With both sides in the republican
fight led by members of the old ma
chine there is no way by which
West Virginia republican can get
away from the machine and stick to
his party.

GROUNDING HAS MADE GOOD.
Six Weeks Of Winter He Predicted
Will be Up This Eveninq

Frequently 1t has been questioned
whether the ground hog has or ever
did make good in predictions on the
weather which he is popularity sup
posed to make on the second day of
February, but even the oldest inhabi-
tant of this section is now willing to
swear that the "pesky varmint"
knows his business better than a
large number of other weather prGph-
cts and that he certainly has made
good this year, while there are many
others who claim they do not believe
in the ground hogs power to control
the weather, or that he ever knew
anything about it who are not nearly
as skeptical as they were before.
These changes of opinion have all
been brought about by the fact that
during the past six weeks there has
been spell of winter weather such
as has been seldom known in this sec
ton of the country, There have been
few warm days. but the majority
have been cold ones with either rain
or snow falling. and for a good por-
tion of the time there was a heavy
snow covering the ground, and the
river was frozen up for couple of
weeks during that period.
There are those who believe that
the ground hog had good sense. this
year at least, when he went back iato
his hole. if he did, for six weeks
longer after seeing his shadow on
February Cd. If he had rot he would
have had hard row to hoe because
OF the condition of the weather
From tomorrow forward the people
are looking forward to better wea-
Their, but in this they may be mis-
taken as March came in like a lamb
and If the old tradition is carried out
win 60 out like a lion 1t is good
safe advice to all classes that they
should not make any arrangements
TO change from heavy to light wear
ing aFparel in anticipation of balmy
spring weather at least until a little
later in the season.
