j. w. Cummins Seeks Re-
publican Nomination for
Attorney General.

WHEELING, Feb. 25.-J. W. Cum.
Minis, a popular young member of the
Ohio county bar, today permitted it to
become known that he was candidate
for the Republican nomination for at
torney general Of West Virginia. The
announcement was formally made in
the following statement:
TO the Voters Of West Virginia:
This Is to announce that am can
didate for the Republican nomination
tothe office Of Attorney General to be
voted on at the statewide primary on
May rs, 1920.
Since the office Of Attorney General
Is more in the nature Of the Of legal
advisor to the state OF West Virginia
and its duly constituted officers, rath-
or than an office having to do with the
making Of laws, there Is little to be
said in the way of advocating the pas
sage Of certain laws.
Next in Importance to the matter OF
getting the country re-established on n
peace basis and obtaining satisfac-
tory adjustment of labor and other
conditions generally, in my opinion, is
the question Of proper legislation con-
corning our men who served in the
army, navy or Marine corps during the
recent war with Germany. favor the
immediate enactment by Congress OF
legislation giving former service men
the consideration they deserve at the
hands Of their government" l regret
to say that our country, so far, has
been close listed in dealing with the
men who fought and bled for 1t, and
at the same time recklessly extrava-
CANT In other matters. This Is the
wrong policy and should be stopped
Immediately. The men who served in
the army, navy and Marine corps, and
especially those who saw foreign SER
vice. are the persons who are now en-
titled TO our first consideration. Our
government, as whole, should be
urged to act more expeditiously on all
matters relating to their welfare.
favor the most liberal policy in deal
ing with our service men and particu.
larly so with reference to the sick and
wounded.
lam in favor of good roads through.
out West Virginia. A system of good
roads will bring us in closer touch
with each other and better enable US
to discuss and realize our needs and
possibilities for development. To the
farmers of West Virginia, good roads
are an absolute necessity. They will
enable the farmer to save both time
and money in getting his products to

OF the state have been generously ia.

How Diphtheria Is Contracted

One often hears the expression,
my child caught severe cold which
developed into diphtheria, when the
truth was that the cold had simply left
the little one particularly susceptible
to the wandering diphtheria germ. If
your child has cold when diphtheria
is prevalent you should take him out of
school and keep him off the street until
fully recovered, as there is hundred
times more danger of his taking diph-
iberia when he has a cold. When
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
It quickly cures the cold and lessons the
danger Of diphtheria or any other germ
disease being contracted. s-6t
