She was an ideal christian

her sterling qualities as woman
than the writer, and while I

her long enough to see in her
life the elements of true chris.
tian womanhood. Mrs. Rayfield
is survived by the following sons
and daughters:
Pearl, of Georgia; Bunyan. of
Spray, N. c., I. J. OF Lancaster;
Mrs. julie Moore, of Mt. Crog-
han; Mrs. p. B. Mills, of this sec
ton, and Robt. Nezzie. Beal, Bill,

the wife of J. L. Griggs who died
about 2years ago, were children.

THE Register could not and would not
say one word inimical to the candidacy
of Senator French and Senator Hogg in
their aspiration for the Democratic gu
bernatorial nomination, but on the other
hand we Can do no less than espouse the
claims of Hon. John j. Cornwell to this
honor. When he was candidate for
Governor twelve years ago MIR. Corn
we'll ran many thousands OF votes ahead
OF his ticket. showing strength greater
than any other man who could have been
named, and there is every reason TO be-
lieve that he is even more highly regarded
now than he was then. Able and fearless
and wise, he is just the man 10 run against
the machine made candidates on the
other side and he is just the man to put
in The Governors chair and work The
change that is needed after the long term
OF political scheming which has so un-
fortunately taken the place OF statesman
ship. AS a matter OF local pride the
Eastern Panhandle should be practically
solid for Mr.. Cornwell In the interest
OF the highest welfare OF the entire State
he ought TO receive the nomination.

THE people should inquire into the
why's and whereforeS OF this fearful
scramble for political preferment among
the Republicans OF West Virginia. II
looks to Us as if the struggling factions
are too anxious-there must be some
Interior motive in view. The best thing
for the public good is TO elect Democrats
10 run the administration for while.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1916-04-27

OUR judicial friend, Judge Ira E. Rob-
inson, started into the campaign with the
firm intention OF making an entirely dig
nified and proper canvass. But it he is
going to meet General Lilly on level
ground he will have TO get down from
his pedestal. In fact, We advise the
Judge to prepare himself with brass
knuckIes and backjackS, for he'll need
them before the campaign is over.

THE Democrats OF the second district
have in the person OF Hon Sam V. Woods
an ideal candidate for Congress. We take
it for granted that he will get the vote OF
every Democrat in the district, for per
Sonally and politically he IS entirely &C
ceptable. He ought 10 get the lndepend-
ent vote, also, for he represents the
highest ideals in craftsmanship, and we
know that his service 10 all the people
will be satisfactory. Further, no Repub-
llcan need have any cause for regret ii he
gives his support to so good man as Mr..
Woods, for he never has been and never
will be an offensive partisan, and his
public record shows that he has always
been fair and liberal.
Everybody may conscientiouSly sup
port Sam Woods.

perhaps, has there been such bitter
political fight as that now raging between
the two rival factions headed on the one
side by Judge Ira E. Robinson and on the
other by General A. A. Lilly, the Re-
publican candidates for Governor While
there is intense feeling personally on the
part OF the two candidates, il is as nothing
compared to the bitter hatred that exists
between the rank and file oithe factions
the Hatfield supporters and the anti-Hat-
field men. Political and personal an
tagonism has never been 50 vi0lent-ln-
deed we look for murder before the cam
paign is over. General Lilly is pressing
the charge continuously that Judge Robin
son is the creature OF Governor Hatfield,
and he has succeeded in making a very
large portion OF the people who are in
inical to the Governor believe this, thus
establishing chasm that is becoming
broader and deeper each day.
AT Charleston, the State Capital, there
was most exciting scene last Saturday,
when the Republican mass meeting 10
select delegates 10 the several conven-
lions was held. The Lilly men lined up
on one side of the armory, where the
meeting was held, and the Robinson fac
ton on the other. Neither side would
agree to the slightest advantage for the
other, and pandemonium reigned, with
knock-down and drag-out arguments a.
plenty. Blackjacks and brass knuckles
were used and TevolverS were flourished,
though no one was Shot-the injuries OF
the fighters being confined to bruises and
cuts and black eyes. Each faction held a
separate convention and named delegates,
who will appear before the State and dis
trict conventions, where, doubtless, the
light will be renewed with continued Bit
terness.
Party friends all over the State have
been turned into desperate political enc
mics, and it goes without saying that this
hatred and antagonisn will not be settled
with the making OF the numinations-it is
too deep seated 10 be healed in so Shori
a time. Besides, the wisest man of the
party-Governor Dawson-haS passed
away, and his counselS are forever lost,
We doubt if there is Republican in the
State with the wisdom and influence suf-
fi:i emf TO reunite the warning factions.

THERE are indications that Governor
Hatfield may after all get into the fight
for the United States Senate and become
a candidate ior this high honor. Al a
number OF points throughout the State
petitions are being circulated requesting
him to announce himself. and whether
these are spontaneous or manufactured,
they give good excuse for his entry into
the contest. The enemies OF the Gov
ernor, who are numerous, will fight him
tooth and nail, OF course, but It must be
remembered that he has great company
OF friends and supporters who are for
him heart and soul and will stand by him
to the last. He will be strong candi-
date, and il the fight shall resolve itself
into three-cornered one We predicttha
he will win the nomination.
OF course, the election next November
would be an entirely different matter.
