BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR STATE ELEVEN
Says Coach Mont M. Mcintyre
Who Is a City Visitor
Today.

Mont NJ. Mcintyre one of the
coaches of the West Virginia Uni
versity football team was business
visitor in the city Friday Coach
Mcintyre is calling on members OF
the Clarksburg Alumni association
and looking for prospects for the
state team this fall.
The training camp at Mt. Chateau,
on the Cheat river will be opened
September 5, when twenty-five or
thirty of the state squad will go into
camp and train for fourteen days
when they will be moved to Nor
gantown as school opens on the
eighteenth of September All the
old men of last years squad and the
most promising new material Will
be at the camp.
Any local young men who are IL
terested in athletics are invited 70
the camp. OF course they will have
to pay their own expenses but they
are guaranteed a good time.
Coach Mcintyre expects at least
100 men out for the team when they
return to Morgantown.
The big game this season will be
with the University of Pennsylvania,
the team that Bob Folwell, the man
who put Washington and Jefferson
on the football map. will have charge
Of this season. Folwell has 5000
students to pick his team from and
he called for 200 men TO ba out for
the first practice. While West Vir-
ginia has only 1000 students and
not more than 100 men eligible and
fit for football, Coach Mcintyre
hopes to win from the Pennsylvania
team.
The West Virginia team has the
brightest prospects this season that
a state team has ever had, according
to Coach Mcintyre, who says all the
members of the famous 1915 team
with the exception OF Captain Mike
large vSSt-Oan. bshopeDfETAOINET
Leatherwood will be back and a
large number of promising young
men will also be on hand to try for
the team.
The season will open September
2S when Westminster will probably
be played on the Morgantown grid

To the Executive Committee
Of the Socialist Party Of
West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, August 4.--Ihe
letter of Stuart +. Reed, secretary
of state. to the executive committee
Of the Socialist party of West Virgin
1t, in which he rules that that party
cast five per cent of the vote in the
last general election and has a right
to place a ticket in the field this
year. is as follows
Your inquiry as to whether or not
this Office would certify to the clerks
Of the circuit courts the names Of the
Socialist partys nominees for presi-
Dental electors and judges of the su-
preme count of appeals in the event
of such nominations being made by
convention called by the Socialist
party in accordance with the prOys-
ions of section 20 of chapter 90, acts
of the West Virginia Legislature in
1915, known as the primary election
law, was referred to the attorney
general VINO wrote an opinion which
has been transmitted to you and a
copy of which is on file in the office OF
the secretary of state.
In discussing the legal status Of
the Social ist party, the attoriey gen
eral says:
"In section one Of the primary law
a political party is defined an aiIil-
iation of electors representing a po-
litiCal party or organization, which
at the last preceding general election
polled for its candidates for represen-
tatlves in Congress in the several dis
tricts. at least five per cent Of the en-
tire vote for that office in the state. >
If the Socialist party comes within
this definition Of a political party
within the operation of the primary
law"
So II am at a loss who would
determine whether or not the Social
ist party would be a political party
under the definition given in the pri-
mary law"
81 do not find in terms that
it is the duty Of the secretary of state
to decide whether or not the nomina-
tions certified to him by convention
represents political party as defined
in the primary law. What position
he shall take in that regard is entire
ly with that officer"
1t will be seen that the attorney
general leaves undecided the question
as to who has authority to determine
the status Of political parties in this
state.
AS secretary of state am Custo-
dian of the election returns and am
authorized by law to certify all prop
er nominations of political parties.
Therefore, deem it my duty to make
such investigation Of the returns Of
the vote for representative in Con-
gress at the general election held in
1914 as will enable me to determine
the status of the Socialist party and
my duty in the premises.

returns aforesaid l find that the en-

PARIS, August Attaching slmui-
taneously from the northwest ana
from the southeast, French troops yes
terday stormcd the village OF Fleury'
three miles north Of Verdun and cap
puvu several hundred Germans. IN
the evening, however, the Germans
launchd furious counter attack ana
after several violent attempts sue
ceeded in getting footing in the
southern part of the village. the
French today continued to hold the
northern section Of the place and
heavy fighting still is in progress.
Verdun is agin in the center q
the war stage. The recapure by the
French of Lhe village Of Fleury, which
had been neld by the Germans for
more than a month, has caused great
eIation in France. 1t is the first
fruit of the French slow and method
ical offensive begun three days ago
and seems in the opinion Of French
military observers to mark an epoch IN
the six months battle for the great
fortress on the Meuse,
Germans Less Capable.
The Germans appear to be less and
less capable Of operating on their old
overwhelming scale and the initiative,
military men think, is about to pass
to the French for good.
