THE RIGHT KIND OF A MAN

During the last few days the names
of number of prominent men have
neen mentioned as candidates before
the Republican primaries for cover
nor. Each and every one of them
would make good governor if elect
ed. However, the question that now
arises is, "Whom can we elect ?" II
Is almost certain Senator Patterson
VIII be the Democratic nominee for
that office. When the Republicans
start to pick a man it must be one
who can defeat Patterson, and not so
much one who can command the re-
spect of the Republicans. To defeat
Patterson we must have a man tn
whom many Democrats will rally
what kind of candidate will com.
mand Democratic support? This is
'he question to be answered Ger
'ainiy we can not expect to secure
'he Patterson Democrats. What are
the Patterson Democrats :? They are
those members of that party who are
represented by his life; men who are
against everything and everybody. so
far as the state government is con-
eerhed' men who criticise and never
puiid; men who tear down that which
we already have and never built to
that already constructed. Every read
er OF this article has a dozen such
men IN mind in his own community.
me Republicans can not hope to get
'heir support, so it is useless to nomi-
nate Patterson type of man as our
'ahaidate. Then what type of man
snail we nominate in order to get the
support OF a certain element of DEM
oefats? Just the opposite from the
ratterson type. We must nominate a
man who will command the confidence
and respect of the refined class of
democrats as well as the confidence
ana respect of all classes of RepubIi-
cans. Rather an abrupt way of mt
.i,g IL yet true way, nevertheless
us no use for the Republicans to
nominate man who appeals to the
men whs believe in lawlessness or who
even countenances it. We want n man

lions in Postofiees in Two
Towns,

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Byron r. Newton has a plan sor the
Treasury Department to lend a hand in
mine rescue work which formerly has
been carried on by the Bureau Of Mines
alone
Mr.. Newton, who has charge of public
buildings. announced yesterday that ar
rangements would be made for the con-
struction Of mine rescue stations in the
postofices at Norton. Va, and Jellico,
Tenn. These towns are in the heart of
the coal mine districts OF their respec-
tive States. He said that other stations
probably would be established in post
offices situated in mining regions
The Treasury Department sent w. F.
Field to Norton to inspect the postoffice
site there, with a view to determining its
suitability for a mine rescue station. His
report, which was made public yesterday,
was IN part as follows:
The demand for permanent station
for this purely humanitarian project is
almost pathetic, and citizens of all classes
in the mining districts showed deep in
terest in advancing a project which has
for its sole purpose the actual saving of
life in the mines and the placing within
easy reach of those engaged in this most
dangerous calling the means of obtain
ing a thorough and practical knowledge
of the whole subject.
Situated as it is, at q point within a
radius of few miles of large number
OF coal operations, Norton is almost IDEAL
ly located as headquarters for mine
rescue work The rescue car, with its
trained men and apparatus, ever ready
for a call at any hour. will be able within
a few minutes to reach any part of a dis
trict in which are employed nearly $1,000
