CITIZENS
THOROUGHLY
DISGUSTED
With the Rejected Applications for
License by the Oft Rejected Fake
Hotel Saloon Keepers.
COUNCILMEN WHO VOTED RIGHT
Come in For Great Praise, Whilo
Those Who Upheld the Applic- j
ants Are Condemned. ^
t
! ^ >, ,
' The action of the eecond branch ^
members who were active in trying to
t force through the applications for 11- (
cense of the fake hotel ealoonlsts, t
knowing the action to be Illegal, was
condemned on all slder. yesterday, and
those members of the first branch who
assisted in the-matter came In for the
same adverse criticism.
"Man who are sworn to uphold the
laws of the city, and who adopt the
rules of council should adhere to
them." That's the way a popular citizen
expressed himself, and from the
drift of conversation about town It
seemed that the majority of citizens i
agreed with him.
A well known councilman in conversation
with the reporter last night said
he was surprised that the men who
professed to be conservative should
countenance such high-handed proceedings.
He was unable to be at the meet- ,
ing. but from what he read in the public
prints he could not understand how
the first branch members could even
consider a petition coming before them
without being acted upen by the committee.
"Of course," he said, "the second
branch had a majority present in
favor of the discredited applicants and
they would stand chances of going to'
extremes, but when the nrst branch
took the matter up and tried to concur
there Is something radically wrong."
"We are getting tired of this thing of
having to te harassed cn all sides every
time we step out," continued tht
councilman, "and it Is always,by some
trlend of the applicant, who is sent as a
'cat's-paw.' If the applicant himself
would come to us we cuuld tell him our
reasons for voting apiinst the proposition,
but I suppose they think It best
to keep out of the wa*."
"Do you expect these applications to
come before council at even* meetintr?"
asked the scribe. 1
"I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
unless the councllmen give them such a
sitting down upon that they know
there is no use to apply again. I know
that as far as I am concerned that unless
there is a change In these fellows
tactics I shafl use my office in council
to Investigate whether some of them
have a right to vote on their own license
and bond or not, and I don't like
to do It. I hold over this year and am
not afraid of election insults, but even
if my term expired now I would stand
for half way decency at least."
Another councilman said: "It's an
outrage that every meeting of council
should be marred by these rejected applicants.
If there Is no way to stop It
there should be. The Idea of bringing a
question up at every meeting when it
has been decided the session before, la
absurd and disgusting, to say the least.
The supporters of these licenses have
been bringing the question before council
heretofore. Now, at the next meeting
I intend bringing it up ir. a different
form and I don't think the applications
will be heard from again."
Citizens generally commended the action
of Messrs. Ross Chew, Beckett,
Fair and Miller, of the second branch,
and Messrs. Waterhouse. Baird and
Scalley in the first bravch. City Solicitor
Boyce and Mayor Sweeney were also
commended, and the better class of
citizens who dominate In a question of
lhis kind, hjfve only Words of praise for
their action in adhering to their strict
line of duty as prescribed by law.

CONVENTION HALL, CHAIVLESrON,
\V. Va., July 11.?The convenlon
was slow in gathering for the
light session. Although called for 1
'clock, it was 7:30 before the majority
if the delegates were In then seats,
rhe Freer people at once Inaugurated.p.
lemonstration for their favorite, and
t looked as though the majority of the
lelegatas were shouting lot' the
fourth district congressman. Cries of
'Shanor" were occasionally heard. The
ippearance of several of the party
eaders upon the stage was the signal
or applause.
Before the convention was called to
irder, there was some difficulty In puling
off a few of Shanor's friends, who
vere In favor of standing "pat" on the
iriglnal report of the committee on pernanent
organization and fighting It out
in the floor of the convention. Finally
vhen It became known that Hall deslr d
the change to Freer most of the oploaltlon
was dispelled.
Scene of Great Confusion.
At 8 o'clock the scanc was one of the
rreatest confusion nnd enthusiasm,
.wo bands playing against each other,
Iclegate." were wrangling In tno aisles,
ind the others and spectators cheering
or Hall, Scherr, Elk:ns, Fr:;er and
shanor. After almost superhuman ef'ort
the convention was brought to orlcr,
but again there was an outbreak
mtl more labor In restoring order.
The committee on credentials reportid
in effect as detailed elsewhere. The
eport was adopted unanimously. A
IVirt county delegate wanted re-consideration,
but he was two minutes
ate.
The report of Judge Frecr's name as
permanent Chairman was received with
i magnificent outburst of applause.
Mr. Hubbard, of Ohio, moved unanimous
adoption of the report, and It
ivent through with a hurrah.
Judge Freer, upon taking the chair,
vas given a magnificent reception.
Tudge Freer said it had always been an
Honor to him to serve the Republican
party In any capacitv, and this was
mch an occasion. As he looked upon
:hls magnificent assemblage he believid
he was in a political heaven.
Great Thing to be a Republican.
It's a great thing to be a Republican,
jecause ours Is a brave party, a party
vhich has a 1 way4 met every problem
:ourageously. The people In the face of
lew responsibilities turn to the Re
>UDiican party ana it will not oe round
vanting. The ticket of this convention,
:e said, would be a winner?the part}
janner must not go down to defeat. A
Republican who will not sacrifice
tomethlng for his party Is not fit to ba
l Republican. Concluding, the speaker
varmly thanked the convention for the
lonor It had bestowed upon him. Again
:he crowd cheered the little giant from
"lltchle.
The report of the commlttcc on rules
ind order of business reported In effect
is detailed elsewhere In the Intelllgen:r,
and the report was adopted.
The report of the committee on resoutlons
was read by Col. R. E. Fast.
References to the Philadelphia conven;lon,
McKlriley and Rcosevelt and the
West Virginia senator** and congressnen
were warmly received. The delounclng
of disfranchisement of colorid
voters in the south was endorsed by
;he convention enthusiastically. The
indorsement of Labor Commissioner
Barton and the labor plank were well
received. The report was adopted vo:lferousIy.
Nominations for Governor.
Nominations for governor were callid.
Barbour yielded to Wood, and
he Hon. Charles T. Cn Id well, of Park rsburg,
arose to put the name of Hon.
D. White, of Wood c.'.unty, In nomination.
The delegates, said Mr. Caldivell,
had anticipated his mission by
:alllng out the name of his candidate.
rhe speaker said the Democracy Is a
party of the past?Is not a twentieth
:entury orRanlxatlon. He expected to
?ec the West Virginia Democracy move
:o make the election of the Republican
:andldate unanimous before next November.
(Laughter.)
Under Republican policies v;e have
grown, the Hag has never been degraded;
we have been victorious on land
and sea, every pledge has been kept,
ivhlle Democracy means perfidy and
failure. When Abraham Lincoln came
into his exalted office, civil war darkened
the country, yet It was the be- ,
ilnnlng of the golden era of the nation,
ind It has survived storm and even
Democracy. (Cheers and laughter.)
Rapped the Cleveland Administration.
The speaker rapped the Cleveland
ldrnlnlstratlon sharply for Its failure to
ibly manage the affairs of state. In
189(5, after four years of Democratic
voc, the country prostrated with creopng
paralysis, grown up with the Jlmp?un
weeds of pemocrntlc mis-rule the
icoplo arose In their might and rcstor?d
the party of progrem and prosperity
to power, and now how different our
national spectacle. In a few months
confidence was restored, money becamc
plentiful, wheels began to move, and
good times, happiness and progress
were with us again. Imperialism cannot
come from the party that came to
the rescue In I860 and struck the shackles
from four million slaves. Imperialism
cannot come from the party of education,
nor from the party that has
provided cemeteries for the heroes of
the 'sixties. Imperialism cannot spring
where patriotism is cherished. If such
an unwelcome Intruder comes look for
It from the would-be destroyers of the
commercial prosperity cf "our land, look
for It from sympathizers of Agulnaldo
at home and abroad. (Cheers.) ,
Old Glory Will Wave Forever.
"We'll ssnd a message to Agulnaldo
In November; it will tell him that the
blood of the boys in blue who fell In
Luzon Is consecrated, and that Old
Glory will wave forever where she flies
now. This figure of spcech was the occasion
of a wonderful outburst, lasting
fully three minutes, and the enthusiasm
was redoubled when Mr. Caldwell took
advantage of the respite to shed his
coat and vest. The Republican- party
will never take down the flag from the
Philippines and Mr. Bryan will, never
live to see it taken down. The opeaker's
reference to the ' rag time" convention
at Kansas City convulsed the
convention. His assertion that h%
would rather belong to a party that
has "accidentally brought prosperity"
than to a party that would premedltatedly
bring disaster, and again the
convention yelled Itself hoarse.
In this campaign, said Mr. Caldwell,
we want a man who will measure up
with a stalwart Republican in West
Virginia this year. "We want a man
like our noble and grand ssnator here,
who looks so much like me." (Laughter.)
Glowing Tribute to the Nominee.
Continuing, the speaker paid a glowing
tribute to the Hon. A. B.'White,
who, he said, has ho superior as a debater
In West Virginia. He had tlje
honor of "naming the rext governor of
West Virginia, the Hon. Albert B.
White."
Just here the convention broke loose
with a vengeance, giving Mr. White an
ovation that ho could well feel proud of.
Berkeley yielded to Monongalia, and
Sir. W. E. Glasscock seconded the nomination
of Mr. While, whose five minute
speech was a brilliant effort. His
tributes to the party leaders who led lu
past campaigns was eloquent. We want
a great general on our side this year;
we have had the name of such a man
presented to us In the person of Hon. A.
B. White, and with White we will aee no
repetition of the Taylor and Monroe
outrages of 1S9S.
Delegate Brown, of Hancock county,
seconding the nomination of White,
said his county would snow the Democrats
beneath a drift of defeat and
oblivion In November.
Colored Demosthenes of Kanawha.
Phil Waters, the brilliant colored
Demosthenes of Kanawha, eloquently
seconded the nomination of the next
governor of West Virginia. Mr. Waters'
flights of oratory following one
upon another, quite captured the convention.
. .
B. F. Keller, of Mercer, was next In
order among those seconding White.
Ho spoke from the rear of the hall, but
little could be heard from the stage.
For Tyler county. O. W. Hard man
made a cracker-Jack speech, pledging a
county that the Democrats claim Is
spilt In two In the middle, to be safe
for Republicanism.
Dr. Lyon, of Parkersburg, a member
of the A. B. White Marching Club, was
the last speaker seconding the nomination
of White.
"Nominate White and you have a
man stronger than the platform itself,"
declared the speaker. Concluding,
Dr. Lyon moved the nomination
of Hon. A. B. White by acclamation.
There were a hundred or more secondB
and when put went through In a whirl
of enthusiasm that eclipsed any demonstration
yet witnessed In this convention
of unbounded enthusiasm.
Committee to Escort the Governor.
A committee, headed by e\-Congressman
Dorr and Mr. W. P. Hubbard
was named to escort the nominee to the
wigwam, and in the meantime the
ime uuiuursi couunueu wiin even
greater volume.
In n few minutes, the nominee appeared.
escorted by the committee, and
this was the signal for an outburst on
the part of delegates and spectators
that sent all former efforts to the rear
on the run. In addition to the committee.
Mr. White was escorted by the A.
B. White Marching Club and the Pnrkersburg
band. In Introducing the
nominee, Chairman Freer said:
"Governor White, of West Virginia."
Mr. White's speech of acceptance was
a plain, straightforward discussion of
the Issues in this state.
Mr. White's speech is given In full
elsewhere In this Issue.
Mr. White's nddres* was concluded
at 10:50 o'clock, after which the convention
adjourned until 10 o'clock
Thursday morning, the lieutenants of
Hall, Scherr and LaFollette all agreeing
to 'this programme, owing to the
lateness of the hour and the possibility
that the fight for the auditorial plum
may require considerable time to bring
victory to one of the five candidates In
the field.
SHANOR VICTORIOUS.
Defeats Judge Freer for Permanent
Chairman, But Withdraws in the
Interest of Harmony, and the Latter
is "Unanimously Selected.
From a Staff Correspondent.
CONVENTION HALL. CHARLESTON.
W. Vn., July 11.?The Hull men
are rejoicing late this afternoon over
the victory they have achieved in securing
a majority of the committee on
permanent organization and electing
thr? mfin nf tlmlf nn^motmnl
chairman of the conv?ntlon.'
The committee organized by
choosing Mr. Law ns chairman
nnd Mr. Connelly, secretary. No time
was lost In getting down to business.
For permanent chairman of the convention,
ISmmett Showalt^r placed In nomination
Congressman Itomeo II. Freer,
of the Fourth district, an-J paid a high
tribute to this leading champion of Republicanism.
Mr. Copeland nominated
j?
Hon. Perry A. Shanor, of Slatcwvlllo,
I the young lawyer, who made so One on
Impression as chairman of ths Weston
| convention of First district Republicans
last month. Mr. Copeland spoke
! of Mr. 8hanor's eminent ability In tin
| chair, and his was an efTcctlve appeal.
The vote was vary close, seven for
Shanor and six for Fre.?r, as follows:
Committee Stood 7 to 6.
I For Shanor?Hennlng, Law,Copeland,
McGlothlln, Tyree, Dlls, Shields.
For Freer?Showalter, Stover, Teters,
I RoblnEon. Connelly, Je'ffc-rs.
For permanent secretary of the convention,
the choice of the Hall men, C.
L. Topping, of Lewis county, was
chosen without opposition.
News of the victory achleveJ by the
Hall forces soon spread about the city
and great was the consternation. In the
ranks of the opposition, the Schorr people
especially voicing loudly their displeasure
over the action of the committee.
The campaign for Shancr was Inaugurated
by Mr. Hall's friends Tuesday
night, and the Ohio county man's
friends went to their senatorial district
caucuses this morning determined, to
capture the permanent organisation at
ail hazards, and they did it, but by the
closest of margins. In thy sjcond senatorial
district caucus the Hall people
were In the majority, but in an unguarded
moment they allowed the opposition
to put Emmott Showalter
through on this committee.
Talking of a Minority Report.
After the committer- adJournvd and
the new'3 ot the Hall victory became
.known, nothing else 'was discussed
among the friends of the rival candidates
for auditor, and not half an hour
had elapsed before It was being phispered
that the minority of the committee
would bring In a report, with Congressman
Freer for permanent chairman.
An effort was made . to have
Judge Freer restrain his friends and
allow the majority report to gu before
the convention unopposed, but he
would not acceed to the request, and
before the convention got together for
the night session all the Indications
were for a big fight when the two permanent
organization reports wore submitted
to the convention.
Shanor Resigns in Interest of Harmony.
Just before the assembling of the convention
Is was decided to eliminate the
po?3lbly ugly tight on the permanent
chairmanship, and in the interest of
harmony, Mr. Shanor withdrew. The
committee on permanent organisation
thereupon met and unanimously recommended
Judge Freer lor the chairmanship.
Before Mr. Hall gave cut his desire
for Mr. Shanor's withdrawal, the re was
even talk of trotting out a daik horse
candidate for governor, an-1 Judge
Freer's name was mentioned in that
connection. This talk cam.' from the
Scheer and Lafollette people.
There Is a story to the effect that
Senator Elklns, when informed that
Judge Freer's candidacy for permanent
chairman had received a knockout blow
before the committee, said unless this
action was reconsidered he would decline
to appear to-night to or^n the
session of the convention. R. M. A.
MARSHALL FOR HALL.

A1UU1C W Li I i'UL uc ilCJCUlCU.
Solid for Ohio County Candidate.
From a Staff Correspondent.
CONVENTION HALL. CHARLESTON,
W. Va., July 11.?This evening
before the night session of the convention,
the Hall people are all confident
and even stronger than at any previous
hour that the Ohio county man will go
through to success on the i\r3t ballot.
Since the claim yesterday that Hall
would muster 535 to 530 votes, there
have been some changes. In one or two
counties there were losses, but In others
the Hall men made unexpected gains
and the net result is not on the wrong
side of the ledger.
ThlB afternoon the friends of E. M.
Lewis, of Moundsvllle, one of the candidates
for auditor, was wired that 25
of Marshall's 36 votes would go to Hall
on the llrst ballot and asking whether
or not his (Lewis') name should be presented
to the convention.
Willing to Drop Out of the Race.
Mr. Lewis replted that If there was no "
chance of succi-ss he was willing to
drop out of the race. It Is understood
to-night that Mr. Lewis' name will not
even be presented and that Marshall's
solid thirty-six will be voted for Hall
right at the start. Naturally the Hall
men are greatly elated over this development
of the day, and they an; seeing
every old kind of vision of victory on
the first ballot.
To-night's programme Includes the
permanent organization, nomination of
governor, Mr. White's speech of acceptance
and if possible the selection of
the candidate for auditor will be taken
up. The Hall people want action,
Schorr would prefer another night and
morning of wire pulling.

FEEDING FOR HEALTH. \
Directions of a Food Expert
A complete change In food makes a
complete change in body. Therefore' if
you are ailing in any way, the surest
road back to health is to change your
diet. Try the following breakfast for
,ten days and mark the result:
Two soft boiled eggs. (If you have a
weak stomach, boil the eggs as follows".
Put two eggs into a pint tin cup of boiling
water, cover and set off the stove.
Take out in nine minutes; the whites
will be the consistency of cieam and
partly digested. Don't change the directions
In any particular.) Some fruit,
cooked or raw. cooked preferred, a slice
of toast, a little, butter, four heaping
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts with some
cream, a cup of properly boiled Postum
Food Coffee.
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food Is
fully s\nd scientifically cooked at the
factory, and both that and the Postum
Cofft i hnve the diastase (that which
digests the starchy part) developed in .
the manufacture. Both the food and
the coffee, therefore, are predigested
and assist. In a natural way, to digest
the balance of the food. Lunch at
noon, the same.
For dinner in the evening use meat
and one or two vegetables. Leave'out
the fancy desserts. Never over-cat.
Better a little less than too much.
If you can use health as a meant! to
gain success In business or in a profession.
it is well worth the time and attention
required to arrange your diet
