with the president alter the cabinet
meeting about the political prospects
OF the Republicans in West Virginia
They told the president that Charles
F. Teter would be nominated tor gov
ernor over William M O. Dawson.
and that the republicans would carry
the state next fall by a safe majority.
In discussing the situation With
newspaper man Mr.. Dayton said
"Teter will be nominated for gov
eruor when the republican state con-
vention meets July IL. and he will be
elected by majority of from IS,
to 10000. do not consider this a
high figure, and am satisfied 1t will
be easily reached. On most con
sentative estimate Mr.. Teter is within
20 votes OF having a sufficient mum :
Der to guarantee his nomination. and
il is probable that he ady
has majority Of the dele
gates yet to be elected. and Of these
Mr.. Teter will secure from 90 to rs,
and will easily control the state con.
vention. The republicans Of the state
will experience no difficulty in get
ting together and in electing their
nominee for governor and other off
ces.''

Yes, Quite True!

We are sometimes asked by CORES
pondents, els 1t not true that the OF.
charges higher rates than many OF the
other fraternal societies. To this ques-
ton we answer unhesitatingly, yes.
The Order does not pretend to be "a
cheap society" What 1t does claim,
however, and what it is able to prove, is
that its rates are such as to place IL upon
a sound, enduring basis, and that 1t
gives the greatest possible value for the
money paid into its treasury by its men,
bers. Two and two will never make
five. A certain amount OF money has
TO be paid into every life insurance insti-
tuition to enable il to carry out its con-
tracts. This Order gives insurance 70
its members at the least possible cost
