MoeeANrowN, June 9.-Morgan-
town was never the luxuriant hOt-6ed
Of uolitlcs as she has been during the
past few days, and the entire burden Of
the song seems to be concerning the
4 action Of the State Convention. Who
Nll be nominated for Governor has
beA asked hundreds Of times here late
", and has received variety OF
prophekc answers. The politicians and
the candidates are here, and II IS warm
in several languages this great com
mencement season.
John G. Vance, Of Harrison county,
feDlied thus to the inquiry;
II am inclined 70 believe that ma
iority viii. be for Judge Bennett al
though Eastman will receive some sup
: p6rt. kAfter a ballot or two II Bennett
does aot succeed i think the vote OF the
SoahTy-w{il go solidly for Eastman ana
ths3hs. Will be nominated II Eastman
Dr. klc6orkle should receive the nomln-
atifn for Governor then Cam Sommers
VII most probably be nominated Tor
Auditor.
9"If Bennett OF Sommers either are
hominated for the respective positions
which they seek IL will destroy Kids
nrosoects for Attorney General and Glib
son. Of Jefferson will De the nominee.
7 very much hope that Hon. Joseph
Moreland. OF MOnongalia, will be one OF
tbe nominees for the Court Of Appeals.
I nresune Judge Holt will be the other
successful one.
sFor President I am for Carlisle. The
nuarrel In New York eliminates both
Hnl and Cleveland from the race
Regent Clarence l.. Smith, OF Marion
rountv. said: "Our county Is for East
ham. and l thing be will be nominated;
indeed. there is no doubt OF that.
Marion county will rally 20 Hon. Joseph
Moreland for the Supreme Bench. Fur
Their than that, 1 have no opinion TO
offer"
Regent Peregrin Hayes, Of Giimer
county, is for Eastman, but is reticent
In his opiniOn.
Regent Brown, Of Kanawha, was
brief but brilliant His remarks were:
"Kanawha county is for MacCOrkle
first, last and all the time, and for the
next man for other Offices who can de-
liver the greatest number OF votes
Regent Kster, OF Monroe, said: 1--WE
are an for Sydenstricker down our
wav. There is so much indeciSiOn re-
qarding the remainder OF the State OH
GERS that an intelligent or accurate idea
OF how they will be cannot be given at
this time.
Regent Farnsworth has the whole
ticket almost completed. "UpShur
county" said he, is for Bennett for gov
ernOr and won't let 20 till he - noml-
mated. We are for either Armstrong or
Hodges for State superintendent OF
schools, Kidd for Attorney General.
Mooreland for Supreme Judge and
Thompson for Auditor.
Regent French. Of Mercer, said: Its
hard TO state what ii will be In my
county, but my preference is for Nc
-Corkle Tor Governor, Thompson Tor
Auditor, Sweeney for State Superin-
tendent There is no doubt that More
land will be nominated for Supreme
Judge.
Regent Schilling, Of Roane county,
said: There is a Gig fight in my county
beWeen Bennett. MCCOrkle and East
ham, and an expression Is almost i'm
possible, Of how we stand. Calhoun
adjoining has instructed for Bennett.
We have two candidates for Auditor,
George w. HundleY and q. Warren
- Hayes.
Regent Brown, OF Jefferson, said:
All OF the candidates for State offices
down with us, and will receive a GER
tain measure Of support. It's mixed, so
70 speak. We are FOR German for Pres
ident, because it has been eXemplihed
that Cleveland is not available.
Regents Bennett, Of Cabell; Robinson,
OF Mineral, and MOreland, Of Morgan
town, failed TO respond TO the great
question Of the hour, for reasons best
known TO themselves, bCt IL is
whispered that there is a wide diversity
IN their choice as may be noticed among
those who expressed themselves.
