Governor William + Glasscock and Various members OF tn State ad
minhtration iOurneyed to WEIGH. W. Va. last week to take part in a banquet
complimentary to Dr. Hatfield. Republican candidate fol- Governor Gov
ernor Glasscock made an extended address in which he referred at some
length to DR. Hatfelds merits and character. but he did lot find time or
opportunity to say ne word for the President whom the Republican party
elected III years ago. ant whom the Republican party renominaied at Chi
age a few days since Members OF Governor Giasscocks administration
and candidates upon the State ticket who we're called upon apparently took
uer fom the Governor. and while prsising lavishly the State admin
istraton. o which they were a part, failed to say a word fr the National
administration. OF for the candidacy OF William II. Taft. Never before in
the history OF this State. or In the politics Of either party. has such a pee
nele beer presented. Never before have a body OF men who have been
honored by a great party. Inc who are themselves candidates or a ticket
presented by hat party attempted either by silence Dr. by implication 10
commend par of that ticket and ignore the candidate who represents the
National organization.
The lnterhgencer dos not presume to predict the particular course to
be taken by Governor Glasscock, nor does It regard that a a matter OF cry
great Importance. The Republican party is goingt to win in West Virginia
whether William f Glasscock supports IT or not: but in order hat some
VIC nay expect the votes Of the Republicans II West Virginia during the
coming election la nav a better understanding of their W position. It
may 70 pertinent to max e a few remarks.

Republican ticket before the voters in West Virginia this fall.
