cit has been an exciting and
strenuous campaign declared Mr.
Lakin. .Dr. Hatfield took the lead
from the start and has kept it, gath
erinE strength as he proceeded on
his speaking tour. No man has run
for governor of our state for a quar-
ter of a century who has spoken to
such vast crowds and aroused such
tremendous enthusiasm, and no Re
publican candidate in all that time
has commanded such open support
OF so many men afiliated with the
Democratic party.
The race that Judge Cor made
twenty-four years ago is the only
contest that IS fit to be compared to
the magnificent candidacy that Dr.
Hatfield has made. Not only Hat
field and the state ticket will win,
but we will carry the legislature, in
suring the end of Watsonism, which
is as distastefuI to Democrats. as
well as to all other parties, in West
Virginia.
From the latest reports we have.
I am pleased to. be able to announce
that the state will be represented IN
the next Congress by a solid Repub-
lican delegation Of six men who are
sound on the tariff and the great ma
tional economic issues, the settle
ment OF which by the Republican
program means so much to the
wealth and prosperity Of the people
OF our state. -
