CHEAPER CONVERSATION.

S HE fight for cheaper and better telephone service
in which the Fairmont Chamber OF Commerce has
taken lead is likely to bear fruit in the Immediate
future Such is the conclusion TO be drawn from the
surprising outcome of the recent hearing before the
West Virginia Public Service commission.
The American people are in the habit OF "investgat'
ing" most any kind Of corporation organization which
for any reason is suspected monopolizng power or OF
conducting its affairs in dishonest improper manner
Some OF those probes whitefashes. Sometimes
the purpose OF the reormers is attained after long and
bitter fight. Sometimes inducements" are offered the
probers and the probe committee adjourns to the near
est soft drink emporium forgets all about the mat
ter under investigation.
The announcement by officials of the Bell Telephone
company that the purchase Of the securities OF the Con
solidated telephone company had been completed just
one hour before the Public Service Commission had met
at Charleston for hearing to determine who really
owned the Consolidated company brought original
and surprising conclusion West Virginia probe
The investigation had started by the civic bodies
IN the various cities in the northern part OF the state
not because it was believed that the officials Of either
company we're dishonest merely for the purpose Of
paving the way for merger of the two companies in
the interest of better and cheaper telephone convcrs
ton.
The announcement Of the purchase therefore came as
q pleasant surprise to the business men OF Farmont'
Grafton Warrington Wheeling and other cities respon
sbe for starting the investigation Hints that the Se
company has been actual control OF the Consolidated
company not actual owners OF 1t, for year or more
may have had much to do with getting the Investigation
started Now however. with the specific declaration
OF ownership and a promise from the Bell company Of
hcials to cooperate every to effect merger IN
the operation of the lines the business men Of northern
West Virginia justified in feeling that definite pro-
ress has been made the task Of eliminating the In
convenience and expense OF maintaining dual telephones
in stores and offices.

" to be the first of the undecided

and extent of these assurances con-
vince me that my chances IN the
primary are good. am confident too
that the Republican nominee will be
elected governor By one OF the lar

Because of my interest in educa-

be expected of me II am intrusted
with the duties OF this high office.
THE man who is elected governor
takes upon himself very grave re-

faithfully to so discharge these duties
that the welfare of the state may be
enhanced and his own party organl-

that II am candidate, l will meet
