DOVE WANT A GREATER CLARKSBURC?

government reports pretty fairly rep
resent the factory interests OF those
communities. In the case OF clarks-
burg. however, the impression creat-
ed By this report upon business men
Of the outside world who do not know
our city, is not only misleading but
positively damage to the develop
ment Of the com lhunity. Clarksburg
to the outside world appears from
all census reports to be not muen
more than modern village and the
remedy for this situation lies with US.
We know better and In every DOS
sihle way should proclaim this fact
wherever we go.
Note a few instances Of contrast:
AS to the number Of establish
ments the government report shows
forty-three within the city limits.
evidently many Of these are small
business establishments which we
would not class as manufacturing
plants and that comparison, does not
indicate much.f
AS to number OF employed in In
dustrial plants, government report
shows Clarksburg as employing AZ
people, while our record carefully
figured indicates that we employ ap-
proximately $500 people. Govern
ment report shows annual payroll,
salaries and wages at $3.50, 900.
while our record carefully figured
shows payroll Of approximately $5,-
900 900, which we only believe too
conservative.

our record shows approximate invest
ment s1O,675, 900. In strictly manu-
featuring industries. These figures
do not include any investment rep
resenting our wholesale, jobbing or
mercantile establishments. nor the
mining, oil and gas Industrial inter
| ests, while It is probable that the
government report does include some
such interests Look back now ana
compare this figure with our other
West Virginia cities. andi believe We
will get a heter. idea OF our stand

There is a decided lull at present

Heavy artillery play continues
along the lines in northern France

My George W. Dudderar, secretar,

(By George w. Duddenr, secretary
Of the board OF trade.)
In the Telegram for Friday Febru-
ary 4. we published some interesting
figures about Clarksburg's Industrial
strength showing particularly record
of industrial development during the
last two years. These figures are
very consoling to us in the face OF
the comparative statement following
which appeared in the Parkers0urg
Sentinel January IL, from tae peh
of Mr.. G. w. Summers, Washington,
! D. c., but formerly Of Parkersburg:
"The number of industrial estap-
lishments in the respective cities ol
Tie state is as follows: Wheeling,
2O1: Huntington, 102; Parkersburs'
8$: Charleston, SO; Moundsvile, ~;
Morgantown, 40; Bluefeld' ~
Clarksburg, 43. =.
The total number employed IN
these Industrial plants. including
owners, salaried employees and wage
earners Is as follows: Wheeling, D.
O99: Huntington, 5,0S1; Parkers-
burg. 2l79: Charleston, 1884;
Moundsvllle, 1866; Morgantown'
1900; BlueAeld, 1885; Clarksburg'
422.
The annual payroll. including sal
aries and wages was as follows for
1911: Wheeling, $6,42S,0o0; Hunt
ington, ss,076,00 Parkersburg,
s1,367, 900; Charleston, $S36,OOo;
Moundsyille, 1927, 900; Morgan
town, s1,O6f,000; Bluefeld, $9O4,-
900; Clarksburg, s290,000.
The capital Invested in industries
in the several cities is as follows:
Wheeling, S26.S5s,000; Hunting
ington, s7,S44,O00; Parkersburg,
s5.473.OOO; Charleston, $S,227 900;
Moundsville, s2.53O,000; Morgan

.RUMORED THAT
COLE WILL RUN
FOR CITY CLERK
Former Mayor to Throw His
Hat into the Ring, Accord
ing to Report.

There were few developments in tho
political situation in the city today,
there being only five new entrants, all
Republicans, inp the race for city
positions. Four Sof these five are as
pirants for councilmanic positions.
The big sensation Of the day in po-
litical circles was the rumor, which
apparently came from authoritative
sources, that William H. Cole, mayor
Of the city for two successive terms,
would be candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for city clerk. Al
though there was no confirmation Of
the report, it seemed to be the gen
eral impression in political circles
that Mr.. Cole would announce his can
didacy before midnight, when the en-
try lists will be closed.
James Boyle, Jr.. Republican, an
nounced his candidacy for the city
clerk nomination this morning. This
brings the number in tho race for the
Republican nomination for this posi-
tion to three. Those who have already
announced themselves are Z. W. Laub-
enstein, street commissioner. and w.
B. Robbins, former city councilman.
Emory E. siegrist announced him
self as candidate for the Republican
nomination for city council from the
Fifth ward. DR.. w. B. .Conoway, pres
ent member of council from that ward,

The Catholic church did not take

Meeting One Of the Very Best
Ever Held in the City, with
Many Conversions.


1.-THE greatest meeting of it's kind
ever held in Clarksburg" was the gen
eral expression Of opinion last even
ing at the close Of the services in the
First Methodist Episcopal church,
where DR.. Morrison. the great evan
gellst. Is holding a revival.
At the outset DR.. King announced
that there would be an old-fashioned
experience" meeting. This was held
and a host OF people participated In
the service. AT the close DR.. Morrl-
son delivered one of his able sermons,
attacking the elements Of evil right
and left and sparlng the mlnions OF
Satan nowhere. The eloquent pull
pit orator fairly held his audience
like human magnet, swaying them
at will with his stirring words.
There 1-ere number of penitents
at the altar during the services and
several conversions recorded.
The feature of tomorrow's work
will be the great mass meeting for
men only, to be held in the after
noon at z:S0 o'clock. These meet
ings are growing moe a1d more pop
ular from week to week and the num-
ber OF men in attendance increases
steadily. 1t is expected that more
than fifteen hundred will be In at
tendance.
The music rendered by the big
chorus is certr excellent and ha
caused a great deal of favorable com.
ment. Professor Hiatt is an able and
versatile director and has the work
we'll in hand. ..i
