about the local water department as
he knows.
AS collector and treasurer OF the
city John NJ. Knox has ane absolutely
clean record and not even the
slightest suspicion in the mind or
anyone exists against him. Much OF
his life has been spent in collecting
and hadling public funds and the
most rigid scrutiny of his accounts
has failed to show him remiss in
honest discharge OF public duty
and absolutely correct accounting OF
all funds entrusted to him. Surely,
the people of clarksburg can have
no real desire to turn down man
with such an honorable record.
Vicious attack after attack has
been made upon Edward j. Doyle as
street superintendent but all to no
purpose. The substantial majorities
given him from year to year indicate
that tile people not only resent such
attacks but also have faith in him
and are satisfied with his work. ,su-
.perihtendent Doyle is handicapped
many times for lack of fuads and
consequently does not at all times
accomplish all he desires to do.
Could Mr.. Doyle have unlimited
sway. it is assured that clarksburg
would be a city of model streets
But his work is not to be disparaged.
His department does much and does
it we'll
The new men on the ticket are
G. e. Finly for city clerk, w. B.
Robbins for assessor and Or. B IF.
shuttleworth for school board mem
Der
Mr.Finly is president OF the West
Virginia Business College, one of
the most successful institutions OF
its kind in the state, and. through
his labors many OF the boys and
girls OF Clarksburg have acquired
splendid business education and OBJ
tanned well-paying positions. They
appreciate Mr.. Finly's college whose
success is the result mainly of Mr..
Finly's time, talent and money. Thus
has he done much for !Clarksburg in
its business life. He believes in and
loves Clarksburg and the people
know him to be valuable member
of their citizenship. He is affable,
courteous and obliging. His school
profession makes him most highly
capable of dischargtng the duties OF
city clerk and everyone knows that
he will make an ideal one.
DR.. Shuttleworth attended the
public schools OF Clarksburg from
the time he was old enough until he
was ready for higher education. At
ter he had attained the point of a
well educated man, he acquired a
professional education at one of the
leading medical. institutions of the
country and came back to the town
OF his nativity to practice. A big.
broad brain highly cultured. deep
devotion to his profession, energy
and application soon placed him in
the front rank as physician. He is
truly American and has an abiding
faith in the public schools, the sys-
TEN of which in this state was pro-
noted by men among whom were
Dr. shuttleworth's ancestors. A
careful search of the school district
would not result in finding a man
better qualified for sihool commits
sioners ANA no man in the city has
greater friendship for the free
schools and advancement than
Dr.; Shuttleworth.
w. B. Robbins is splendidly equip
ped for the duties of assessor, which
require Judgment. acquaintance with
values, and clerical ability. Mr..
Robbins has all these qualifications.
In addition Mr.. Robbins has served
successfully in the city council and
has made observations there that
will be of great value to
the assessors department. in
all his work, Mr.. Robbins
exercises energy, promptness and
application and he will exercise them
as assessor with perfect satisfaction
to all.
This is conservative view of the
qualifications of the candidates on
the ticket as most of the people OF
the city know. Those qualifications
as presented herein, however. are
firmly convincing of the fact that all
citizens of Clarksburg who desire
progressive, good and clean govern
ment the coming year need no other
ticket, for which to vote than that
headed by Will II. Cole.
