IT,. MCDOUGRL A SURE WINNER
The CeredO Editor Receives Much
ENCOURAGEMENT from Over
the State.

Huntington Herald. April2 ,.
Hon. Il. Il. McDougal, editor Of
the Ceredo Advance, and who is a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for State Treasurer. is in the
city today mingling with Cabell
county Republicans. Mr.. McDou-
gal is receiving much encourage
ment from leading Republicans
from all sections of the State rela-
tive to his candidacy and it now
looks as though he would be a sure
winner at the big Republican con
vention TO be held in Wheeling in
July. Tom McDougal, as he is ia
miliarly called, has always been one
of West Virginia's most Jealous
Republican workers, and his paper,
The Advance, has fought the bat
ties for the party in Wayne until
Mr.. McDougal has the satisfaction
of seeing Democratic majority OF
something like one thousand votes
practically wiped out and the next
election may see Republican ma
jority in that county. 1t would be
safe to wager that McDougal will
carry it, should he receive the nom.
ination for treasurer.
The southern section of the State
is certainly deserving of recognition
at the hands of the Republican
party, and all will rejoice to know
that McDougal seems to be sure
winner.
