young. There is no better school to

That job out in Morgan county ever
since he came home from the state
university with a sheepskin in his
hand Also. he served in the House
OF Delegates last winter, and took a
serious and Industrious interest in
the affairs of legislation to such an
extent that he attracted the attention
of the ablest members and received
compliments for his work, and advice
as to how to steer his course in the
future to make for public career.
A good many people in the Second
district who know or have had favor
able report on the young editor, be-
lieve that he has the stun in him
from which liye-wfre congressional
candidates and Representatives are
made. They believe that a new name
and new face in the congressional
situation in their district wouldn't
hurt, but would help rather. So they
G1ave been boosting Johnson with
the purpose of giving him sort OF a
preliminary try-out. Johnson is not
at all Ioath. No ambitious young
man would be. He courts inspection
and investigation, and naturally hopes
to pass the examination with high
average. He has been hiking about
the district good deal this fall to
county fairs, picnics and institutes
for the purpose of getting acquainted.
He seems to have made very favorable
progress from all reports. 1t would
be well, If you be a student of pol
itics, to keep weather eye on this
young Morgan county Republican
from now on.

Of Congressman is Already
Being Sought by a Mum
Der of Men.
my Charles Brooks smlth.l


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S..Two
prospecting and expecting would-be
congressman have been to town this
week, looked about the capitol and
the big House office building, and ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the system, and the arrangement in
both marble edifces, and more than
ever anxious to have good fortune
send them as their emissaries from
West Virginia to parucrpare IN con
gressional life, and proceedings.
Editor Vernon Johnson, Of Berk-
eley Springs, is one of the ambitious
pair, and Edward Cooper. of McDow-
ell, is the other one. The latter has
time and again figured in the talk
down in the Fifth when 1t was along
the line of picking out a successor to
Congressman James A. Hughes. But
nothing ever came of the talk; moth
ing save Mr.. Hughes continued to
succeed himself. Lately there has
been much talk to the effect that next
year Hughes would not be a candi-
date but from letters received here
by friends of the Fifth's congressman
who is at Hot Springs trying to re-
gain his health, he has no Intention
of either quitting Congress on his own
motion, or letting anybody put him
out without battle royal.
Cooper is coal mine operator,
still young, and wealthy by inherl-
lance and by his own successful bust
ness, efforts. In other times, not so
long back, when to buck the well
ordered things of Republican organ
ization, was to be designated a
radical" Cooper was SO labeled
For he certainly was some hefty as
an insurgent and a radical, doing
much to bust up things and cause
excitement. OF course, Roosevelt ap-
pealed to him, and whom that eminent
faunal naturalist heaved his headgear
into the ring, Cooper gave whoop
and shot up the town, figuratively
speaking He sure was some siren
uous person at that first Chicago con-
vention last year. 1t looked like he
would follow T. R. no matter where
the latter led. But looks we're de-
Chewing, and underneath the skin
Cooper is as staunch a Republican
as ever breathad When T. R. quit
the party to launch a new one, Cooper
quit T r. While heap much of pro-
gressive, he didn't spell it with &
capital letter. He stayed aboard the
old ship and his party regularity is
without blemish. That he would like
to be his party's nominee in the -Fiftf
next year he does not deny; the fac
is, he cQnflded to friends here thai
he intends to make try for the jot
OF carrying the flag. and has healthy
hopes Of achieving that ambition.
Editor johnson is also a young man
more youthful than Cooper. He II
not so well known in the Second dis
trict as Cooper is in the Fifth, but il
the months he expects to travel abou
bit and see the folks in the distric
and be seen by them. This last oper
alton will not hurt his congressional
chances any, it ought to help them
for Johnson is a rather handsom,
looking young man. He has a clea
and ruddy look, bright eye, a wei
shaped head, and is an ultra-conver
sationalist when the occasion re

Washington. May John Purroy
Mitchell, independent Democrat and

what the White House termed "a happy

the party had taken a lively part for
the last two months.
Candidates for the post, which paws
$4,000 and carries with it the appoint-
ment OF an army OF employees in the
country's biggest customs house, were
numerous from the start. Recently the
President practically determined to ap-
point Frank Is. Polk. n friend of Sec
