COCK, requiring his departure from
the state at the beginning Of a hard
campaign planned by the party
leaders, has given some discourage
ment to some of the prominent Re-
publican politicians who realized that
the Governor in these days of fac

cd the executive to leave for the Vir-

party leaders regretted his absence
from the state during the fall cam
Eal&h, his friends advised that he
remain away until full and COM
plete recovery had been effected.
1T was the belief of Governor
Glasscock that he should move the
Executive Office from Charleston to
White Sulphur Springs for few
weeks, but his condition was such
that his physicians advised against
the executive attempting to do anv

been made. At prior times he had
been benefited by the climate in olG
Virginia and for this reason his
physicians insisted that he go to the
Virginia resort.
however, it is expected that when
the West Virginia Governor has re-
covered sufficiently to make the
change, he will return to White
sulphur Springs, in his native state.
and from that point direct the affairs
or the state government, returning TO
Charleston late in the fall prior to
the assembling of-the State Legis-
lature.
While Governor GIasscock is not
regarded as being in dangerous
condition at the present time, his
illness vii probably be sufficient to
Keep him out of the campaign. The
Governor had planned to make sever

and it was his special purpose to
defend his own administration from
the charges of waste and extrava-
gance, the only charges waged by the
Democratic leaders against the pres
