Aiken and Tom Bue ekley.
Kern and Miller are, however, dis-
qualified. II Is believed, under the new
charter by virtue OF their offices as
members OF the West Virginia state
J leai9lnture. The new charter espe-
'clnlly Rtipuiates that no one holding
olfice ipay pesh member or the Board
As no 1oHsion o. the legislature Is ike
" 10 h'e held in the Intervening time
from npw until the date for the cleo.
fion tpeHe gentlemen even should
they Hq desire, cannot offer their res.
ignation as members of the state legis-
aliYe body.
Bnrnea has been talked OF quite o
good deal as llkely to succeed himself
on tbs board. Howeyer it Is under,
stood that Mr.. Barnes probably has
something else up his sleeve and
domination II It we're preferred TO him
IS yet , matter Of conjecture. A
couple OF civil service examiners were
IN the city late last week checking
upon the candidate for the postofftce
aud those who saw their list say Mr.
Barnes name ie on It.
Ira s. Aiken former railroad mar
! and who served his county as mem
ber OF the 1917 legislature having
been elected by the Democratic party
( ia mentioned as q probable candidate
ATom Buckley was talked OF when the
charter first passed the legislature but
his boom seems to be dying away, and
It Is understood he win not ask fol
the nomination.
L. Burchinai, the well known
contractor, and one Of the srbstantia
citizens OF the city. has been promi
nontiy mentioned for the honor o!
1erflng his city on the Board OF AT
fnirs While Mr. Bnrchinal has neye,
tken any active part in politics ht
Isl nerertheless o stanch Democrat.
Among the Republicans mentioned
aa probable candidates are such ole
war horaes as w. E. Arnett. 2. +. IA.
