OVER 10000
Is Glasscock's Plurality for
Governor Of West
Virginia.

William E. Glasscock,s majority
grew as the complete returns came
in from the various counties. Com
plete figures from all the counties
were obtained today and disclosed
that Mr.. Glasscock was 1929 10 the
good over Bennett. The reason his
plurality is increased is because the
estimates piSced on Benefits plur-
alities in Democratic counties proved
to be too high while those placed ON
Glasscock's maiorities In Republican
counties We're too low. The size of
the majority certainly indicates tho
political sagacity Of Chairman s. ".
Matthews who commended from the
start Mr.. Glasscock would not have
less than 1900. 1t was certainly q
glorious victory.
Taft plurality In the state is he
tween 10000 and 1900.
