WESTON, w. Va. August 9.-The
same activity that has marked the
movements OF the managers Of Judge
Bennett's boom for governor for the
pas. week, was continued to-day, and
the fact that the day is Sunday has
apparently made no difference to those
who have the Judges "boomlct" In
charge, The only ~percep,tble differ
ence was that the out OF town callers
were not so mahy rs on previous days,
but around headquarters all Is bustld
and hurry.
! am reliably informed that the BEN
nett people have information to the
enect that Watts forces will 20 TO

7 That they have assurances from Il suf-

certainly a fact that Bennett stock has
made a wonderful jump upwards with
IN the past few days. and 1t Is very
apparent here TINT the knowing ones
wear n very confident air and have evI-
IDENTIFY received great ouragcm
within the past few days.
one OF the arguments advanced by
the Bennett boomers is that THE feeling
between the Watts and R~alphsnyder
forces is such that It would never do

y consequently. Hennctt Is the logicnl
candidate If the situation. They claim
that they are making q clean cnmpaicn

asked one OF Judge Bennett's lieu
tenants tonight II he thought General
Watts would get the nomination on The
frst ballot. He hootcd at the idea and
said Bennett would get several coun-
ties on the first ballot. which the Watts
people claimed. He also added:
You may say to the Intellisencer
that y can announce uuthoritatively,
that there will be no nomination for
governor on the first ballot. We have
information which makes that fact pos
ittvely certain. We have only one claim
TO make and that Is that Judge Ben
