NEW GOVERNOR WILL

The Date is Not Fixed but it VIII
be Shortly After the
Inauguration.

CHARLESTON w. Va, Feb 20
That Governor elect H. d. Hatfield
will can the legislature into extraor-
binary session shortly after his inau-
guration is the opinion of friends
of the coming administration.
While the legislature passed many
bills that were promised in the
pledges of the Republican party dur
ing the campaign many failed to
pass and it is for this reason that
DR. Hatfield win call the special SEES
ion. The county salaries bill and
other important maasges were
killed off ri the last minute.
Plans for the Inauguration of
Hatfield are now
under way. Practically all the Re
publican members of the legislature
and prominent Republicans from
throughout the state will attend the
event. Or. and Mrs. Hatfield will
give a bail at the governors mansion
following the Inauguration.
