WEST VIRGINIA TO
SUPPORT COLONEL,
SAYS POLITICIAN
State Wants Teddy" and
Will Cast Its Electoral
Vote for Him.

West virginia will give its electoral
votes to Colonel Roosevelt at the COM
Ing election by a comfortable plurality.
according to c. p. Dorr. former Con-
gressman from the Third district OF
that state, who is now staying at the
Willard. .aa'
Just what that plurality will be, Il is
impossible to say 30 far ahead of slec-
tion. but It will be sufficient to put
beyond all question Colonel Roosevelt's 8

that he representa-. Roosevelt will car

Democratic votes to make up for those
which he will lose to Taft.
The Republicans will gain one or

What have said OF West Virginia
is true also. Of many parts Of Pennsyi-
vania and Ohio. have recently visited
many counties In both OF those States,
and find the feeling strong for Roose-
welt. This is one Of the years when
both Democrats and Republicans will
break away from their old party moor
ings and vote independently. The up-

politics is one Of the grandest political
