N00refeId Eraminer-Mr. Camden coming
into the Senatorial race right on the eve OF
the election has caused something OF SEN
satiOn in political circles and comPilcates
the matter very much. IL has rendered
the reelection of Senator Faulkner very
doubtful. IS Mr. Camden must have well
founded assurances of election else he
would not have entered the contest as he
has. Mir. Camden has many warm
friends all over the State VINO
would be pleased TO see him
elected 10 the Senate. They feel that ne is

party. They know that six years ago no

but vas defeated in the session OF the Leg
islature By a small cOterie Of sore-headcd
boilers and "kickers, which resulted IN.
the election of Senator Faulkner. For

has many supporters who look 10 nus cleo

the cords Of gratitude toward him around
Our people. and until within the past few
DAYS il was not thought that he
would have any opposition TO

otherwise than return him 10 the Senate.

party valiant service during the past two
campaigns, during which be stumped al
most The entire State, and il was conceded

But Mr. Camden coming upon the scene as

DGris Times: We regret to announce
TO our readers the fact that an
organized effort is being made by
Decorate politicians to beat Hon.
Charles j. Faulkner in his candidacy for
the United States Senate. We DO not
know what may De the result. 1t is 70 be

holds. No man in our State is more meri-
tOriOus and has greater claims on the peO-
pie. who has sprung up and become famous
in defending the rights Of his constituents.
Mr.. Faulkner is one Of few of West Nir-
ginia's sons who has made an important
record; not in colluding with monopoly,
not by trespaSsing upon the rights Of the
masses in order 70 assist the classes, but
by coming out openly, fairly and boldly and
defending those principals which were 70
the interests Of the agricultural and labor
ing population. Among the many hard
fights be made in the Senate, he stands re-
corded in history as having made one of
the greatest speeches ever re-echOed from
the walls Of tho Senate. We refer 70 his
speech on the Force oil, where ne talked
for nine solid hours and by so doing talked
