HON. WILLIAM E. GLASSCOCK
Nominee on the Republican Tlckct for Governor of West Vlrglnlu.
OHIO COUNTY IS
SOLIDLY LINED UP
Nomination of Glasscock for
Governor Ends Factional
Fight There.
WHEELING, Se^t. 29?Perhaps
"there was no county In ..the state
where the late complications that ex
isted In the Republican party were
so pronounced as in Ohio, and where,
at one time the differences seemed to
he hopeless of seUelment. Since
the nomination of Hon. vv. E. Glass
cock, however, and the elimination
of both Mr. Swisher and Mr. Scherr,
the opposing elements have swung
into line for the new candidate for
governor, which promises a solid line
up of the party strength for the en
tire state ticket. Many Republicans
who had announced their intention
of voting for the Democratic candi
date for governor have openly ex
pressed themselves as being satisfied
with the selection of Mr. Glasscock,
and will not only vote for him but
get out and work for Ills success at
the polls.
Naturally the frank and ope.i sup
port that the Intelligencer is giving to
Mr. Glasscock, has had much to do
with the peace and unanimity that has
been restored to the once distracted
rank and file of the 'Republicans of
Wheeling and Ohio county. If the
nomination of Mr. Glasscock has ac
complished this in this section of the
state4here can l>e no question about
the solidification of the party In other
communities where the distractions
of factional" differences have not been
so pronounced and complicated as
they were In Ohio county.
One of the most prominent Repub
licans in this city, and who was op*
posed to both of the former contend
ing candidates for governor said to
day there was no question about the
entire acceptability of Hon. W. E.
Glasscock as the Republican nominee
for governor) "I state this," ssld
this gentleman, "because I know It
to be the truth, and for the reason wc
all know his record as a faithful and
honest supporter of the party princi
ples in tills state as enunciated in the
several platforms of 1900 and 1904.
It was the policies set forth in the
platforms upon which White and
Dawson were elected and which so
cured the most substantial victories
for the Republicans in West Virginia.
There was no stronger champion of
the tax reform laws which have been
written Into our statutes than the
Hon. William E. Glasscock. We
know that he Is safe on that ques
tion, and will do everything In his
power to preserve the integrity of the
new, tax laws inaugurated by the Re
publican party. The Democrats have
attacked these measures, and if given
the power will do their beat to nullify
their operation if not totally destroy
them. That is why we are strong
for Glasscock in Ohio conty, and that
Is one of the reasons why the Repub
licans of the northern panhandle OTlI
rally to his support ns one man and
worlc for his election."

Captain J. R. Slayton. who recently
came here from Butler, Pa., and took
charge of the local Salvation army
work finds a fertile field In the var
ious lines of relief and other -work
done by that organization. Captain
Slayton, however, Is an earnest, con
scientious Army officer and It not at
all discouraged over the conditions
that face him. Instead, he has al
ready enthusiastically enlisted In a
system of work, which he confidently
believes' will be crowned with slgneal
success at no distant day.
Splendid street meetings have been
held by him and the corps every eve

arousing many fron\ their lethargy
and causing them to take a deep in

indoor meetings have also been mark
ed-by a splendid attendance and deep
interest. Ho will continue to hold
street services every evening except
Monday and the regular services aro
held every evening at 8 o'clock In the
Army^hall opposite the postofflce.
Speaking of the work In the city,
Captain Slayton stated today that he
found the people kindly disposed
toward him and the'Army and believ

trouble In winning a generous
co-operation In promoting the -work
of the Army. '
The Army hall, also furnishes meals
