Thursday. Atty. William 7. Ice.

of the unanimous nomination as
State Senator from the 18th Dis

sensus of oppionion from all over
the district is that no better man
could be secured to lead the party
to success this fall.
His election has been made
certain, owing to the split in the
Republican party, they having
two candidates in the field and
both determined to stay.

Following are the resolutions
adopted by the 18th Senatorial
Convention, held at Philippi on
Thursday evening last, at which
time Atty. w. T. Ice was nomi-
mated bv reclamation:
We, the delegates o the
Democrotic Senatorial Convention
for the 18th District, now in SEES
sion at Philippi, in the County of
Barbour. representing the four
counties of Barbour, Pendleton,
Randolph and Upshur, again pro-
claim our time-honored adherence
to the principles of the great
party founded by Thomas Jeffer-
son, and perpetuated through
the years of varying success
and disaster, to the present, when
the National Government, under
Woodrow Wilson, as President,
is again under our control. and
for which we assume absolute re-
sponsibility, and record our pride
in it's achievements.
1st. We deplore, and desire
to place upon record our express
ion of grief, that the great Chief
Executive is at this moment in
the midst of inconsolable sorrow,
at the loss of his lifelong COM
panion, who so adorned the White
House, as his wife, and added so
much to the simplicity of domes-
tic life in the City of Washington,
and so much to the happiness of
the poor by her gentle charities,
which largely Slapped the founda-
tons Of her useful life. We, the
representatives of the great par
ty which he honors, send our
simple message Of consolation and
comfort.
End. We commend the Presi-
dent tor his tenacity in seeking
the faithful performance of every
plank Of the last National Demo-
cratic Platform, adopted at the
city of Baltimore, and we like
wise commend Senator Chiffon
and representatives Hon. William
G. Brown, M. M. Nicely and John
w. Davis, as Democrats from
this State, serving during Mr.,
Wilson'S rerm, for ktheir fidelity
in upholding the Presidents
hand upon all party measures,
particularly, the Tariff Law, the
Currency Law, already on the
National Statute Book, and their
ardent efforts to bring about a
proper reform in the trust laws
of the National Congress. We
approve the policy Of the admin
istration, and the powerful efforts
