the remaining open dates on the
Wesleyan football schedule for
1914 was closed yesterday when it
was settled that Dickinson College
would play on the local field on Sat
urday, November z. For number
of years efforts have been made to
bring one OF the really strong col
lege teams to Wesleyan field, but on
account of the distance necessary to
he travelled, this has heretofore been
impossible. Dickinson always has
one fthe best secondary college
teams in the East, and ranks with
Lafayette, Lehigh and others of that
class, and last year had a man play
ing fullback, who was practically
the unanimous choice of the sporting
writer's of the country FOR the POSI-
tion of the all-American team, but
was not picked by Walter Camp.
The game with Dickinson VIII be
the most important ever played in

kANANHA
County is Looking Very Much
Brighter for Republican
Success This Year.

CHARLESTON, May Son Sat
urday afternoon of this week dis
trict conventions will be held by the
Republicans of Kanawha county for
the election of delegates to the state
convention of the party to be held
here on May 90, and that the holding
of the district meetings will former
ly open the campaign in Kanawha
county is the general idea.
Until recently the Republican
prospect in this cohnty looked rather
diseouraging, but of late days there
has come a rallying back to the
party of men who left it in 1912 to
follow the fortunes of the colonel,
and 1t is a very evident fact that .
decided change is taking place in the
hearts Of the former members of the
Progressive party, AMI as a result
the indications today are that Sat
urday's conventions will be largely
attended. Here in Charleston dis
trict, nineteen delegates to the
state convention are to be selected,
and as an indication of the interest
already felt, several have voiced
their desires of being elected dele
gates.
UP until this time the only an
nouncements for nominations sub
ject to Republican approval are two
who aspire to be county superintend-
ent of schools. While there have
been number of candidates an
nounced upon declared Progress
sive platform, these announcements
hav stirrrd little comment, the most
of those announcing being former
insurgents" Of the Republican
party, now recognized to be Pro-
gresslves for office only. Following
Saturdays district conventions ii is
thought there will be a number OF
announcements from Republicans
for legislative and other Offices
within the gift of the county.
