e, NJ, sAowALTER

The Hon. Il. NJ. Showalter OF this
city. is to be commended for the high
character of the campaign he conduct
ed for the office of United States Sen
ator. He was ably assisted, at Charles
ton by a number of the most astute
political workers from this city, who
stood under his banner and kept it
waving in spite ofall opposition. Mr..
ShowaIter has lost nothing by losing
this fight as 1t was impossible to
nominate any man who .was consider
ed at the beginning to have any
shadow OF show for the nomination.
Emmett showalter will return home
to his practice carrying th'him the
satisfaction of knowing that his ambi-
tion was laudable one and worthy of
his aspirations aud that he conducted
a fair and honorable campaign.

Goff of Clarksburg, rs United States
Senator to succeed Senator Clarence
w Watson, a happy solution to very
yexatious problem was made. There
could not be found in the entire con-
fines of the great state OF West Yir-
glnia man more eminently qualified
by experience, and better fitted by
natural ability, 10 acceptably and ably
fiji this, the greatest Office within the
gift of the people of West Virginia,
than the Honorable Nathan Goff.
He has been servant of his peo-
pie since early manhood, both in
times of war and in peace, and there
is not a blemtsh to be found upon his
manhood or dent to be found in ne
courage. He Is above the temptation
of money, he is not susceptible to
sinister influences, and measures up
10 the responsibilities OF this great
trust as fully as any man in the Uni
ted States Senate, not excepting any
man from any State. 1t is one OF the
most wholesome and conspicuous ex-
.ambles Of the honor seeking the man
at a time when there seemed to exist
no other patriot in the State strong
enough to meet all the peculiar con-
ditions of the situation.
For the Republican party IT means
Union and Strength SFor the people
of West Virginia it means honor and
representation based upon the princt-
ples Of a square deal. A great public
career of one Of the noblest men who
ever lived, is 10 be rounded out by
this conspicuous honor, which came
without money and without price and
as unexpectedly as. a thunderbolt from

ISAAC II. MANN

The Honorable Isaac IT. Mann has
shown that he iSa man in fact as
well as in name and tina: he places
party success ab6ve personal ambi.
ton or agrandisement in making the
sacrifice he did in withdrawing from
the senatorial race in the interest OF
harmony, and party success. 1t places
him in most commanding position
for future aspiration for the Senate,
both from the point Of personal
esteem, and from the point OF geog-
raphy which has figured to no little
extent in the selection Of United

from the Northern section will empha-
size the claims of the Southern sec

EFFORT TO GUST
STEVENS FAILED

Efforts by the East Orange Ath-
ietic Association to Gust the Stevens
Prep School from the New Jersey In
terscholastic League proved futile, at
a meeting of the association held at
Barringer High School yesterday
afternoon. Barrlnger was against
the expulsion of the Hobokenites.
while AIontciair High School, the
fourth member of the league, refused
TO cast vote. The discussion arose
over Stevens joining the Metropolitan
Hockey League. of New York The
ice game is the principal sport of
the Castle Point institution, and for
many years they have held the upper
hand over the best teams in the
State. AS no other schools of the
league could give them a fight in
hockey they decided to join the Met
ropolitan circuit, which comprises the
best in New York. 1t was decided
that the question be referred to the
advisory board of the Jersey associa-
ton Another special meeting will
be held next Monday afternoon. when
some definite action will probably be
taken ON the question. The request
of Central High School, of this city,
for admission to the league was an
other matter taken up, but not de-
cided upon. Railway High School
was also mentioned as likely can
didate for the association.
