Numerous friends in several coun-
ties of the state of DIR. Charles Edgar
Hogg. dean OF the college of law IN
the state university at Morgantown,

nation for judge of the state supreme
court to succeed Judge Brarnon. OF
Weston. who will not be a candidate
this year.
DIR. Hogg is not an active candidate
for the nomination, but 1T is under
stood that he would accept it should
it be rendered him. This has en-
couraged his many friends through
out the state and they are pushing
a campaign in his interest, in view
Of which 1t is not unlikely that he
will figure prominently in the ballot
