Piiuiavy Law's Defects.
'.\ lh?'t-e conditions are being use.J in
? he general condemnation of the primary,;
w h ch is l>eiti^ ie.'ttrd on ? ver; side. The i
?iiuiit-.i friends of tu^ existing plaa fot 1
making nominations are admitting that
it is far from perfect, anil tliry are di
vided as to what should be done to cor
rect its many defects They arc standing
for a retention of the scheme, and they
are being asked to suggest something
that will make it possible for a man of
moderatt means to offer for any position
in the *tate. They are confronted with
the office trust which lias been built up
in the state, and against which they have
Inveighed in the past, and which they
declared they desired to see broken up.
The primary has succeeded in getting
men in office, and there is no way to get
them out, as under the primary they have
intrenched themselves and are stronger
than when the .system was first intro
duced, and the excessive assessments and
campaign expenses debar many from
seeking any office. AH the men now in
office have their organizations, which
they maintain at very little expense as
compared with what would confront a
new man were he to enter for any office.
Republican Tactics.
The republicans are to follow the tac
tics of the democrats in the .state this
fall, and they are to open and maintain
Headquarters in this city from about
September 1 to the day of election. They
are getting down to hard work and openly
declare that they will make a campaign
and have speakers in every county in the
?ta:e after September t. and will make
an effort to win The organization is be
ing perfected in all {tarts of the state, and
at the meeting of the committee to be held
in th?* city of Roanoke August ?M tliH
matter ?>(" na miner candidates for the
house of delegates in each of the districts
will be taken up.
It is no secret that the republicans have
strong hopes of receiving the bulk of the
democratic vote which kept out of tiie
ievent primary, and, in addition, to poll
its full strength. If that is done, the
democratic majority of !(0,<Wi, under nor
mal conditions, will dwindle to something
like as many hundreds.
Great store is being laid to the recent
election of school superintendents, in
which there was such a disturbance
raised. It was said at one time that the
convention might possibly Indorse the
democratic nominee for superintendent
of public Instruction, but this did not find
favor with the delegates?especially when
there was an available candidate for that
position. one who had seen service with
the democratic administration and who
had a wide acquaintance with the teach
ers of the state. F. B. Brent, the nomi
nee. while secretary of the state board
of education is said to have supported
and voted for Roosevelt, but that fact
was not generally known. Four years
ago lie was flirting with the nomination
for the position :it the hands of tiie party
wi ich later dispensed with his services.
He was frequently mentioned for the con
test. but he did not enter.
Locpl Option Test.
Judg> staples of Roanoke has ordered
ti it there s;.al! he an election in that
city Septembe r .'10 on the question of sell
ing liquor. Some months ago the city
votoii dry* and the w.ts attacked the
? lection und it wa:- declared null and
I void. Judge Staples ruled that as the
i election had been nullified there should
; be? another expression by the voters.
; The wets are holding that under the law
there can be no other election on the
[subject for two years. The drys contend
j that as the courts helel that the-re had
j been no election as contemplated under
! the law the position of the wets was not
1 good, and the writ issued.
In Clarke .county there is a physician
. who styles himself the "Old Doctor <>f
Clarke." lb- has been given the title
of the "Good 'i!d I>e>ctor of Clarke."'
He is not an old man, as might be
implied. He is a graduate of the Med
j ieal College of Virginia, this city, and j
| haa succeeded in his practice. He has
ia large estate in ' 'larke county, and
for some- ve-ars he has been giving homes i
t.? sevfral hundred sick, helpless and
friendless children of this city. He pays
the expenses of the children and keeps
parties of them for two weeks at a time.
il<- has crowds goins: and coming each
two weeks, and he has done an immense
I amount of. good In this way and has:
saved hundreds of lives. Each year there
; is a lis: made up of the children, and
taken to the- place and returned
ity at no c??si to the parents, j
whom could not pay the railroad j
they are

many of

In Official Circles.
Maj. II. J. Enright. lately deposed by
Morgan Treat as marshal of the eastern ;
district of Virginia, l.as been given a j
place In the internal revenue service. He I
says he will make a vigorous effort to get J
, ^he place now held by Morgan Treat j
when the latter's term expires next win-1
ter.
J Royall K. Cabell, who becomes internal
I revenue erommissioner in Washington the
j end of tuis month, will leave this city
several <laj s before lie enters on his ]
duties. It is not known who w ill sue-;
ceeel him as postmaser here, but there j
are several candidates.
While the building boom of several
months ago is still on in this city there
are more vacant houses than havfe been
known in many years, and there is no
reduction in rents. Residences are being
built in every direction in the city and ]
in the suburbs, and all ? lasses of me
chanics find ready employment at good
wages.
The new John Marshall High School is
nearing completion, and it is expected
that It will be ready for occupany the
middle of the coming month, when the
regular term opens. The building and
grounds will cost about $.VJO,OuO when it
is fully completed and will accommodate
something like pupils.

West Virginians Always Ready
to Take Office.
LONG - DISTANCE HOP7.S
Republicans Planning for Nomina

MIX-UP OVER CENSUS JOBS
Representatives in Two Districts
Accredited With Beating the

Special < .'orrospnndetice of The Star.
WfIKKI/INti. W. Va.. August Jl. 1
Xcwcomers to West Virginia are wont
to remark frequently on the political bug
in this state, and it does seem at times as
Lf the West Virginian is never too busy or
too lazy to keep an eye on a political of
fice or something appertaining thereto.
Therefore, three years in advance, there
is a good tield in grooming for the repub
lican gubernatorial stakes, with no telling
how much the Held will grow in the in
terim.
But perhaps the most interesting devel
opment in the northern panhandle section
is the budding aspiration of Sheriff Wil
liam M. Clemans of Wheeling to try for a
place on the congressional or state ticket
in He has let it be known to a few
friends that at the expiration of Ins term
he will enter the larger arena. He lias
been conspicuously successful as a cam
paigner. being elected several times as
chief of police and winning the shvievalty
last year, one of the richest offices in the
state. He Is something of a vocalist and
as a mixer has few equals. He has been
cultivating a state acquaintance recently
with a view to running for the governor
ship or Congress.
The four most discussed for governor
are Senator Fred O. Blue of Barbour
county, ex-Mayor W. F. Hite of Hunting
ton. ex-Secretary of State Charles W.
Swisher and George M. Bowes of Jlar
tins'ourg, I'nited States fish commissioner.
Blue is also being urged to try for Con
gress in the second district against Rep
resentative Sturgiss by many members of
the old Dayton following. The boyish
looking statesman from Barbour is ;i rela
tive and former law partner of Judge
Dayton. There is a lot of talk about put
ting up a light against Stuigiss
next year, due to the fact, it is stat?d,
that there has been difficulty in inducing

Helmick Is Angry.
Sturgiss, moreover, had the only real
contest for blood in the selection of a
census supervisor. The race was between
George W. < 'hilds of Jefferson county,
whom lie backed, and A. L. Helmick. ex
sheriff of Tucker county, who had the in
dorsement of Senators Klkins and Scott,
lielmick is an active fellow, and there art'
rumors that he intends to keep Tucker
county from the Sturgiss column In the
next convention if he can turn the trick.
There was almost as much interest in
the announcement from Beverly. Mass.,
that Harvey W. I f irmer. Representative
Ifuhbard's choice, had been appointed
supervisor for the first district. State
Senator I'offman of the same county had
the indorsement of the senators. The ex
planation accepted for the seeming defeat
of the senators in these cases is that
President Taft followed a rule of taking j
the indorsement of the House members
throughout the country and applied this
rule regardless of senatorial intervention.
Harmer had the job nine years ago and '
discharged its duties in a way to win ap- ;
provnl from the department, which was;
a strong point in Jus favor. To have re- j
jected the Hubbard recommendation in
favor of a member of the. faction in Har
rison county which has fought Hubbard,
said faction being captained hy S.ierman (
Denham, wliom Hubbard has endeavored
to remove from the Clarksburg post office,
would have given the impression that
Taft was-lending himself to accomplish J
another Hubbard setback. Senator Scott j
can lose nothing, since his indorsement off
Coffman should be advantageous, for the
Harrison county state senator is a hold
over and will vote on the question of
Scott succeeding himself in the next leg
islature.
Governor Wants Harmonious Militia I
Fresh from his trip to Seattle Gov. j
Glasscock allowed the intimation to go
forth that the state miliiia would soon
be a memory unless there was an end
to'the friction which is tearing the or-j
ganization into shreds. Politics lias got
into the state guard, especially sii.ee the
forced resignation of Adjt. Gen. Hutson
and the incidental investigation. The ap
pointment of Gen. X. " S. Burlew, a ci
vilian, over Col. Carleton C. Pierce, a
young man who came up from the ranks, i
plus the ambition of <'o!. Cutlibert < >s
burn, has stined things furiously. The,
adjutant's salary, a year, is an in
viting tiling. Col. Pierce's resignation
was asked for. He refuses to give it.
The war is on indefinitely unless the gov
ernor soon exercises his threat of dis
banding the military organization or the
dove of peace pops out from an unknown ;

Some day the political his oiian of West
Virginia can devote n picturesque chapter
to Sam B. Montgomery, the Adonis |
of Preston. Sam's latest turn-up is on
the state pay roll as deputy lire marsha!. j
To get there he separated himself from i

Sam was made a tield agent for the tar;

was a coal miner, getting prominent tirst
as mayor ?>f his village. He is yet on

he is due to go up higher some day if his
