what Watson's associates in big
business long ago found out-he's
a big. forceful, commanding man,
who thinks clearly. and directly TO
tine point, and expresses his deci-
sion with a brerity rs astounding
as it is clear ayd decisive. Il is
this recognition from the politi'
clans Of his party which Col. Wat.
son has for a long time been try'
ing to win. The evidence now is
that he has won It. The humor OF
the situation is that tie HepublI'

Three Of the five Republican
members OF the House Of Repre-.
ssentatiTes from West Virginia had
Opposition for denomination, and
two of them didn't. These two
were Wells Goodykoontz. OF the
FIFTH district, and Leonard Sidney
Echols, Of the Sixth. They were
refsipg their first terms and had
made such a conspiCuously fine
record, distinguished for splendid
'iservice, that II would have been
folly for anybody TO have opposed
them. On top Of that was the con.
gressional custom Of according a
frs 1efmer an unopposed renomi-
\nati6n. But Representatives Geo.
m. Bowers. Of the Second: Stuart
F. Reed, OF the Third, and Harry
Chapman woodward, OF the
Fourth, were not firsttermers, al
though their official records were
ccncededIy able and incontroverti
bic ones. They stood squarely on
them when other ambitious party
lten, coyeting their jobs and the
honors and emollments which 80
with them, challenged them TO
friendly combat. What happened
Is well known history upon which
the ink has scarcely dried. Each
Of the three came through with
Lplurallties and maiorities ranging

slight that it is almost impossible
to account for the breaking of the
heavy glass that caused the terrible
cash in Mrs. Kauffman's throat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman live about
seven miles down the Clearwater
river on farm owned by Joseph
Kaufman. They were only a short
distance from home when the acci-

where the cars met, is located about
three miles west of Ahsahka The
kolasa family did everything within
their power to make their unfortun-

sible during her stay there. The
car driven by Mr.. Whitted is an
Overland, while that of Mr.. Kauff-
man is Ford. Both cars have been
converted into trucks. and were oc-
cupied by the drivers and theil
families.

H. F. Ripley and R. A. Hamilton,

and will take an active part in the
management as soon as he Is re-
lieved of his present duties. The
new owners have subjected the
building and shop to a number of
changes and improvements and will
continue along this line until the
business is put upon first class
basis. Harry Williams. expert me-
chanic, is here and has assumed the
management of the mechanical de-
partment. The new concern will
handle Bucks, Fords and G.. M. C.
