Special D,spn;uh to the IntellIgsncsh
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 49,
There Is no longer any doubt of Cover
nor Alk.nson's senatorial ambitions,
lie was seen to-day by the Intelllgen-
Ger representative and the following
pointed question was put to him:
Governor, there is considerable talk
among the people as to your possible
candidacy for. seat in the United
States senate from West Virginia, Can
say TO the readers OF the 1ntelligencer
that you will be in the race for that
honorable posltlon?"
II can answer that question in this
way" replied Governor Atkinson. II
have been requested by large number
Of influential party friends to become
n candidate for the senate for months
past, and | have all along stated that
my relations with Judge Nathan Goff
have been for years OF very intimate
character, and that l would not feel in
cllned to oppose him, should he an
nounce himself as a candidate for that
office. A number of his close friends
have informed me that the judge would
under no circumstances be willing TO
give up his present position for a seat
In the senate, /, therefore, have no right
10 doubt his sincerity in the matter;
and in view OF this fact. coupled with
the statement OF friends to me that
they regard me as the logical candi-
date OF the party in this state for that
position, / am inclined to say to my
candidate fnr
ator, and will thank the people for their
support.
ii presume you Will say that this is
n fair answer to your interrogatory. l
will add further that We have many
Republicans in West Virginia who are
competent for that high office, some of
them doubtless better fitted for that
place than myself They, too, have
claims and may later on enter the race,
They will have their friends, and they
are entitled to consideration. There is
10 monopoly about 1t. It will be an
open, free field. do not want II un-
derstood that l have special claims or
qualifications for the place. With Cen
Cral Goff not in the race consider my
Chances for success equal, at least, with
other friends who may be In the race. "
What about an extra session OF the
lcgIslature?"
II don't think one will be called. 1
am confident none should be had. / am
fully persuaded that the amendments to
the constitution will not be ratified by
the people should they be submitted.
Why, then. should the people be taxed
with the expense OF an extra session
when nothing can come of II? So far
as have been able TO learn the wishes
Of the people on the subject they are
almost unanimously against the extra
session. You can say for me that will
not assume the responsibility of Issuing
the call. II the legislators themselves
make the call. the responsibility must
rest with them"
