municipal officers will be elected with.
out party designation on the ballot.
The Governor before the Republican
convention in 1912 said that II the con.
fention really wanted to pledge the
party to a real election reform, they
would declare for a non.partisan bal.
lot for municipalities and counties.
The convention ignored this advice
but when 1t was found that the gov.
ernor proposed to have such a bill in.
troduced In the Legislature the oppo.
sltion fell in line and the law was
passed. Under the Pennsylvania law,
as now enacted, twenty.four cities in
the State, ranging in population OF
from 5000 to 100000, will have the
commission form of government and
non.partisan elections. True political
reform. as Governor Tener has well
said, will not reach its fullest measure
OF perfection until the non.partisan
ballot is adopted. The ring politician
will always be found opposing such a
measure.

Telephone Policy Uncertain.

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Attorney
General McReynolds' action in testing
the applicability of the Sherman anti
trust law to the telephone trust" in
the civil suit filed at Portland, Oregon,
against the alleged monopoly on the
Pacific coast revived to-day. discussion
of the probable ultimate policy of the
Wilson administration towards the
general telephone situation. The cleo.
ton Of one OF three suggested courses
enforced competition under the Sher.
man law, the federation and encour.
agement of monopoly under federal
regulation as in the case Of the rail.
roads, or Government ownership and
operation of the telephone, like the
mails.
While Attorney General McReynolds
has not reached hard and fast con.
clusion, 1t Is understood that his pres
ent disposition Is to leave the general
telephone trust problem to the inter-
state commerce commission for the
time being and not attack the situa.
ton as a whole under the Sherman
law, until. at least, q reasonable time
has elapsed to show the results Of the
commissions investigation now under
way. A governmental policy is ex.
pected to be evolved out OF that in.

MUST, BE A PROGRESSIVE.

The politicaI forecasters have al.
ready commenced to make the slate of
possible candidates for congress to
succeed Congressman John w. Davis.
In this connection Hon. Louis Bennett
OF Weston Is named as the possible
Democratic candidate, Hon. Geo. A.
Laughlin, Of Wheeling, late Repubii.
canscandidate as the Progressive can.
ididate, and Senator Julian ]. Hearn,
OF Wheeling. as the Republican can.
didate. Henry s.. Green, OF the Nor.
gantown Post Chronicle, is mentioned
as ahother Progressive prospect.
The First district is one in which
manufacturing interests are very ex.
tensiye and naturally this district can.
nottbei properly represented by free
trade Democrat. The candidate who
properly represents this district must
be a,protectionist but at the same time
he must be Of Progressive leanings
andsprinciples, to get the vote of the
united Republican party. 1t would be
political suicide to nominate man OF
pronounced stand pat" principles.
The only way this district can be
saved or redeemed will be to nominate
a candidate whom the Progressives
will support. The West Virginlan has
never wavered in its support of the
Republican party but there must be
change within the party before 1t can
ever again win success at the polls, II
ever again win success at the polls.
AT least this Is the humble opinion
this paper advances from its knowl.
edge OF the political sentiment In this
district.
As such candidate Mr.. Laughlin
might be acceptable. but with two can.
didates aspiring for this office from
Ohio county the effect would be disas.
trous. Then, too, Ohio county has had
/, this domination for generation with
one exception, and that was when Car
rigan of Marshall county, another
Ohio river county, was placed on the
l ticket. Ohio county should be willing
to surrender this nomination to this
sideiof the district and we believe that
Marion county, has a man who would
abe acceptable to both the Progressives
andstbe Republicans and that man is
G. q. Hutchinson. At any rate there
can not be found a man in the district
who would inspire more confidence
and on whom greater percentage Of
the voters would unite.
