In March four years ago the Re
publicans of West Virginia were at
war over the gubernatorial nomIna-
ton. Notwithstanding that war VIII
liam H. Taft as a candidate for the
presidency succeeded in eiecting a
Republican governor. This year there
y no war in West Virginia over the
governorship. The logic is that
William H. Taft as a presidential
candidate again should elect Re-
publican governor of the state by an
Overwhelming majority instead OF
one that did not measure up to half
of Taft's majority on account of the
war waged.

ABOUT ROBERTSON.
Senator From Rawlins Making Great
Race for Attorney General.

Senator Fred Robertson, of Rawlins
and an even dozen other counties, is
running like frightened coyote in his
race for the Democratic nomination for
attorney general. Robertson is solid in
his own district, although his district
has a natural Republican majority
and his progress in other sections OF
the state is more than encourag1ng-lt
is almost sufficient grounds for a
wager.
Up to the time when Fred Robert
son came to the state senate, he had
a wider acquaintance among the
jurists of Denver, Chicago, Omaha and
other western cities than he had in
some parts of Kansas. AS a lawyer,
his reputation has been established for
long time, but as a politician he was
unknown until all the Democrats and
large per cent of the Republicans of
his district sent him to the Kansas
senate. His level headed and effective
work in the senate left him stronger
with the Democrats, and with both fac
items of the badly divided Republicans
satisfied with his fairness. At present
a large number of Republicans of both
factions are supporting him-some un-
der cover and others in the open. The
grim suspicion that it is a Democrat
year may have something to do with
it.
Senator Robertson is getting favor
able notices in a majority of the Re
publican papers, as well in the Demo-
cratic publications
