will enhance the candidacy OF John
J. tCornwelf in the northern section:
French has a large local acquaint,
ance in the counties Of Southern West
Virginia, but he is not 30 well known
over the state as either OF his oppo-
nents. Logan, Wayne and Lincoln
counties viii also give him a consid-
cradle vote in the opinion OF the
Democratic politicians. In his an
nouncement Senator French asks for
q uniform code for the government OF
the smaller cities OF the state and in
general way for the revision OF the
tax laws. 3 :,
Senator Hogg and Editor Cornwell
are regarded as principal contenders In
the race for the Democratic nomina-
ton. The former Is new in the poll
tics OF the state, without factional af-
fiiliations, but is a member OF the
State Senate who will have the sup
port OF his colleagues In the coming
primary. He will make an active
contest for the nomination and Is pre-
pairing to go into the Eastern Pan
handle In quest of votes. s.s5.
Former Senator Cornwell, who was
the Democratic gubernatorial nomt-
nee In 1904 and who is regarded by
many as the logical candidate again
this year, is remaining at home in, the
Democratic county Of HAMPSHIRE, but
he has a strong following over the
entire state.
During the past week the Taylor
County Republican Committee gave a
strong endorsement TO the candidacy
OF Judge Ira E. Robinson for the Re
publican gubernatorial nomination.
The Grafton man remained In the
northern section of the state practi'
cally the entire week but will be In
the southern section all next week.
Returning from the northern end OF
the state, where he had looked over
the political situation and predicting
that he would carry every county Dor
dering on the Ohio River, Attorney
General Abe Lilly returned to head
quarters during the week, spent a
couple OF days in conference with the
local politicians and started out in
pursuit Of the voters in Harrison and
other Republican counties in the In
terror OF the state.

Of course, perfectly true, as Brandeis'
friends contend, that evidence that
he has committed high crimes and
misdemeanors has not been submit
ted to the investigating committee.
But the Judiciary Committee is neith-
or sitting as a criminal court, nor try
ing a prisoner at the bar. It's function
is merely that Of determining wheth-
er this man, named by the President,
is fit to be made a life member of the
highest judicial tribunal in the land.
The first essential in q Justice of the
Supreme Court is that he should en-.
joy the confidence OF the country as
to his mental integrity. And the evf.
dence already submitted to the Judici-
airy committee proves conclusively
that a great many people, including
lawyers of the highest standing and
ability, are convinced that Brandeis
is wholly unfit to serve on judicial
tribunal from whose findings there Is
no appeal. 1t only remains, there.
fore. to observe to what extent sub.
servfency to President Wilson will
compel Democratic Senator's to con-
firm as Supreme Court Justice man
they know to be unfit.

The question of when this Admins.

sons successor will be inaugurated, is
occasioning discussion among the
Constitutional sharks in Congress.
Next year, for the first time in the his.
tory Of the Nation it Is asserted, March
4 will fall on Sunday. Nor will this
occur again, the sharks claim, for an.
other 1873 years. According to the
Constitution, the Presidents term ends
at noon on March 4, but will next Pres:

Grant districts road meeting which
was in session at Monongah when The
West Virginia went to presE Saturday
afternoon resulted in a unat q Gus vote
to petition the county court for spe.
cIal election on the question Of issuing
bonds in the amount OF $195,000 for
the purpose Of building permanent
roads.
A committee OF three consisting OF
Carol Curry. D. P. Smith and George
Hull was appointed to secure the nee,
essary signatures to the petition ana
arrange the. other details of the move.
ment and, later, another committee
to control the expenditure OF the mon.
ey raised on the bonds will be elect

The meeting was one OF the most
enthusiastic road gatherings ever held
in Marion county. Tusca Morris ex.
planned the legal phases OF the move.
ment, Scott Lowe urged the necessity
for cooperation upon the part of the
people of the district and George Lily
took up the technical SIDE. Mr.. Lily
suggested a 1O-foot brick construction
road with a 2.foot concrete curb on
either side, making a road IA feet
wide, and was, he declared, the best
possible material. Such a road would
cost probably between SIC, 900 and $22,.
600 mile, with practically no up
keep. Concrete, he declared, could be
built for approximately $4,000 a mile,
and the upkeep would be very negli-
Bile. Brick, in his opinion, was the
best material for roads. rs

TOURISTS Dislike
LARGE SIGNBOARDS
MAJORITY OF WINTER PEOPLE
HOLD OPINION THAT LARGE
SIGNS ARE EYESoRES TO PEN
lNSULA.

Many of the winter tourists who
have noticed the numbers of large
signboards which are placed on half
of the vacant lots in Daytona Beach
and Seabreeze, think that they are
more eyesores than advertisements
Small signs of moderate size are not
Objectionable to the majority of peo-
pie, but great displays which block
the landscape view at every prominent
corner, are greatly disliked.
In Daytona an ordinance prohibits
the wanton dissertation of beautiful
scenery by the erecting of signboards
and many think that such law, linn
iting the size and requiring that per-
nit must first be granted, would be
of great benefit to the two towns
A tourist was heard to remark when
first seeing a large sign, which adver-
tises one of the Daytona banks, and
is placed on the corner of First ave-
won't ever do business with a bank
that puts up such signboards as that
one
The city of Miami, one of the most
beautiful in the state, restricts very
carefully the erecting of signboardS,
and those which have been put up are
so artistic and attractive that they
add, if possible. to the beauty of the
