nc. OGDEN Being
DOOMED FOR HOUSE
Panhandle Republicans Say
He Will Make Ideal Con-
gressional Candidate.

Katyhds are not the only indica-
tons that the fall season is near at
hand. If one looks around carefully
and listens intently he can see and
hear evidence that the politician is
abroad also and tna1 although this is
an off year in West Virginia much
interest is already being taken n the
campaign of the following year.
Naturally one of the first points dis
cussed hereabout is the prospect for
the congressional campaign in this
district and already over in the pan
handle a nice little movement has
been launched in favor of giving the
Republican nomination TO H. c. og-
den, the well known editor of the
Wheeling IntellAgencer and a former
resident of this city. Mr.. ogden has
not been consulted about this but it
is understood that it has already at
tanned considerable headway.
A prominent Ohio county Republi-
can who brought the news to Fair
mont this week said he had Travelled
over the district not litt.A, and finds
that there is strong sentiment in ia
vor of the Wheeling editor for the
congressional nomination. Continu-
ing this Republican said:
Among Republicans of tho northern
part of West Virginia, no man stands
: higher than Mr.. Ogden. He is ey-
( erywhere regarded as leader of pub
lie though, man Of conviction and a
man able to take the leadership in
any body of which he may be a mem
her. Ills Republicanism is beyond
question, and his ability, both, as a
writer and speaker is generally rec
ognized. Moreover, he is success
full business man, born in West Vir-
ginia, and has identified himself with
the most important industries of the
state. The First West Virginia dis
trtct ought to be represented in Con-
gress by protective tariff Republ!-
can. man who is acquainted with its
business enterprises and the needs of
the industries, and Is able to look at
ter its interests, and no other man In
the district so completely measures
up to these requirements as Mr.. Og-
! den. In Ohii, Brooke, Hancock and
Marshall, and believe in every 9TH
er county in the district, he will have
unusual strength, and will be a win
ner from the start.
No one Is authorized to>speak for
Mr., Ogden IN this connection but ]
believe he is too good a Republican
to refuse to become a candidate If II
is clear that the party wants him, for
a STANDARD bearer. The Ohio county
gentiment, ,si becoming very strong for
him and believe that he will be both
nominated and elected"

the distribution at our request,
that preference should be shown
to manufacturers of perishable
fruits, milk concerns, and re-

ties, and allotments were made
on this basis, in the order in
which they were received"
The city ordered a car load or more
o fsugar at the same time that the

have been compelled to forego fur
niBhing empty cars and have advised
that car load freight will only be re
eeiyed subject to delay.
