The WORLD FOR HOOVER,

The Nciu York World, admittedly
one of the strongest papers, edi-
torially. in the United States, came
out last week in an able three col
umn editorial advocating Herbert
Hoover for the Democratic presi-
DENTAL nomination. The World
considers MIR. Hoover the ablcst
man the war produced and by :hl
odds the best qualified man yet
mentioned for this great office.
referring to others SO far men
toned in this connection the World
very properly says:
Most OF the candidates who have
thus far announced themselves,
Democrats and Republicans alike,
estimable gentlemen though they
may be, are so inadequate, in view
OF the issues that the next President
must meet, that their aspirations are
little short Of ridiculous. Men who
have no conception whatever of what
IS going on in the world and no I'M
derstanding Of the problems that
must be met are boldly offering them
selves for an office for which even
the best mind and the strongest
talents are hardly adequate.
'OI al the men whose names have
been mentioned. The World believes
that Mr.. Hoover alone measures up
to the Presidency in the fullest
sense
In view Of The wide discussion
now going on in regard to Mr.
Hoover the average Democrat will
prefer TO wait until his political
opinions and status are better
known and UNDERSTOOD
In this remarkable editorial adj
vocating Mr.. IIoovcr's nomination
TN World says Of Woodrow Wilson:
He has maintained himself not
because Of the love and affection in
which he IS held by the politicians
Of the Democratic party. but by the
sheer power Of the most penetrating
and dominating intellect ever known
in the White House"

POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

So far as We can learn four
gentlemen have been mentioned as
possible candidates for the Demo
cratic gubcrnatorial nomination
Hon. Adam b. Littlcpagc. Of Char
lesion. Hon. Fred Fox. of Braxton
county: Hon. W. E.. McConaughcy.
OF Parkersburg. and John Il. Stcph-
enson. of Huntington.
Mr.. I.ittiCpagc is, Of course. well
known to our readers. having
thrice represented us in Congress
to the entire satisfaction OF both
Democrats and Republicans. for
while representing us he was al
ways Oh the job. untiring in looking
after the interest Of his constituents
whether men of high Or low de-
gree. In consequence of this dill
E8ent attention 10 the business Of
his constituents he never lacked
for friends when q caniidat He
is known rs a votc-gettcr.
Mr.. Fox. who is 4 member of
the Sutton bar. has for two or three
terms represented his district in
the State Senate. where he was the
leader of his party-an alert, ac-
tive, capable man, ready in debate
good lawyer. ard withal man
of excellent reputation and high
character. Ii is believed that Mr..
Fox would prove n match on the
stump for any man the Republicans
have named for the place.
Mr.. McConauglley has had expert
cnce in tie legislature and is vel;
known in business circles rs man
OF good ability, Judgment and in
tcllige nee.
We have no personal acquaint-
ancc with Mr.. Stephenson. but learn
that he is a prominent business
man Of Huntington. Of fine capa ,ity
and character that commands for
him the rcspcc: and confidence of
the people among whom he lives.

the ShcphcrdStoUR Register has
changed form and now appears in
new dress as Quarto or eight
page paper. For many years we
have read the Register every week
holding it rs one of our most valued
xchanges. We liked the Register
because VIC liked and admired its
owner and editor whose opinions
on any question affecting the pub
lie interest were always we'll con-
sidered and based on solid ground.
We liked the old form in which.
like the Independent. appeared
through a long course of years but
do not object to tho new. which We
now know to be. for many reasons,
the better form. We hope brother
Snyder will retain some Of the dis
tnctive features which always made
the Register an interesting and in
structive publication. And may the
paper and its worthy editor live
long and prosper in we'll doing.
