POINT PLEASANT, w. Va, June II.
Delegates to the Republican Con-
gressional convention to be held to-
morrow have been arriving all day and
the convention promises to be exciting.
When Congressman Freer was can
didate for the nomination for Cover
nor he of course was not candidate
for Congress to succeed himself, and
during that period several other candi-
dates slipped in, among them James A.
Hughes, of Cabell, Fl. G. woodward, of
Roane, and State Treasurer Kendall, Of
Wood. While Freer was making his
canvass for Governor these other can
didates were getting in their work for
the Congressional nomination. with the
result that Hughes, with the backing
of the Elkins crowd, got enough dele
gates to nominate him. Then came
Freer's throw-down and his re-entry
into the Congressional race. The ring
up to that time was for Hughes, but
Freer's following was so large and they
were naturally SO sore at the ring any
way that the ring could not afford to
ignore them nor to throw Freer down
again, and the result is that the whole
Elkins crowd is now carrying water on
both shoulders. Hughes thinks he has
their support and Freer thinks he has
it. "A pretended effort was made to
get Hughes to withdraw, but he re-
fused point blank on the ground that
he already had the nomination within
his grasp. With the ring afraid to
show it's hand it is difficult to predict
who will be the nominee, but 1t Is safe
to say that the nomination will not be
made on the first ballot, and that
neither woodward nor Kendall will be
the nominee. 1t will doubtless a
close race with Freer probably win
ner by a neck.

ment," said Adjutant General Royster
YESTERDAY. but am by no means sure
that we can do so. Certainly it cannot
be held earlier than the latter part of
August, if held at all. So far we have
no plans for an encampment.'
Whether an encampment is held or not
the members Of the Guard have cause for
consolidation in the fact that they will,
within the next month, be better equip
ped than they ave ever before been, per-
ans. within the history of the organiza-
ton. This is due to the increase in the
appropriation to the National Guard made
by Congress at it's last session. Hereto
fore the appropriation annually received by
the military organization of this State
from the Federal Government was only
about SO. 900. This has been increased to
about two and a half times that amount,
or about $24, 600.
This amount, like the old appropriation,
is being distributed in equipment; and
the. adjutant generals department of this
State has been busy for several days re-
ceiving it's portion. Already about $40, 00C
worth of quartermasters and ordinance
| stores have arrived, and the balance will
be here within the next few days.
Abo July 10th the work of distribu-
! ton among the companies will begin.
The equipment that is being received
consists principally of the following arti-
cles: Blouses, trousers, blue shirts, hats
