"Why "Who is John Weaver ?"' The momert had arrived for John Weaver to show them who he was, and he did it. In one of the most fiercely contested cam- option, His life had been so devoted to securing a foothold that he had not found time to cultivate political ac quaintances, When his nomination was announced in the papers there were no in search of John Weaver. When they he had a tolerablv exacting law prac- tice and on Sundavs taught a Bible class in the Tioga Baptist church, The first definite personal charge against Mr, Weaver to 'be made public was the fact that he was a naturaliz- ed Englishman. This had been over looked at the time of his nomination, and its discovery threw his political supporters into consternation, At a hastily enlled meeting it was first pro- posed that he should withdraw. After some discussion, however, he was per- mitted to remain a candidate, "But, of course, you'll not take the stump.' the party deaders counselled. "The of- et, holds that attitude, Then it was that they were made o little wiser concerning the tempera ment of John Weaver, "Gentlemen; he said, "I am going on: the stump. 1 don't care -what other men who have been cangidates have done. 1 believe it is a good thing to let the people see the man they.dre going to elect, and I intend to make some speeches." True to his word, Mr. Weaver ap- peared in publie, and his plain, brief talks met with insjant appreciation.
