Parkersburg. Another arrival was
william Warner, who is the private
secretary to. Chairman Eakin, Sec
rotary Bernhefm. of WEIGH, Is expect
to be here IN Esme to get-on the job
Monday.
Wnfle the Democratic state head
quarters hare been open at Parkers-
burg for two weeks the Republicans
have the ad3antage of an established
Organization and can therefore So
things started lin every departmeIt
of campaign work itfout any delay
Then, too, the Republican candidates
have already made one campaign, It
should be remembered. the pre7pri-
mary campaign, DIR. Hatfield, the
partys candidate for GOVERNOR has
been nevery county in the state, and
is still on the go making speeches.
He never quit when he was nomina tet'
by s3. 900 Republicans as their party's
standard bearer, but continued filing
speaking engagements. His opponent.
Thompson is dueNto start his speak
ing campaign next week. All tho
other state candidates and those ON
the congressional tickets have also
had, the advantage Of having made
one campaign before the party, that
for the nomination in the IuEH pri-
mary. So It will be seen that while
thesRepublican are behind the Demo-
Gratis in formally opening their state
headduarters. there was no particular
NECESSITY why they vhould have opened
before now,
heads OF departments and attaches
who w1ll<arrive within the next few
days Chairman Lakin has not an
nounced who will be in charge OF the
speakers bureau. This is one Of the
highly responsible departments, and
4 a arse class man will be chosen fol
the post. Nor has the state chairman
l.annoupced who viii compose his ad.
