PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR MANY SALES
Real Estate Men Optimistic Over
Outlook fer Coming Year-Rusi
rest Good Last Year.

"The outlook for one -of the most
succe 5sful years IN the real estate
business in Martinsburg is very en-.
c~ouraging," said a wen known l3cal
dealer recently and the informant
had the argument to back mp
his statement. The dealer based his
opinion upon the large number OF IN.
Guiries which are being received
daily in the local Offices and also The
fact that local Industrial establish.
mentg are working steadily.
1t is the unanimous opinion 4 Drac-
tically every real estate man in the
city that there will be more hot8ss
erected In the suburbs and around
Greater Martinsburg the coming II
months than in the same length of
time for the past decade. People
seem TO be taking loaser chances
than heretofore and the desire 70 own
a home is becoming more evident
every day. The easy payment plan
has enabled even the poorest paid
workmen in the city TO purchase
homes and in many cases property
so purchased has been sold for a neat
profit by the owners who came into
possession by paying a little now and
then.
Several companies owning tracts Of
land in the suburbs are planning TO
improve the additions just as soon as
the weather becomes settled and af-
ter dividing the land into lots to dis
pose of them at public sales.

The senatorial flop OF the Hunting
ton Herald Dispatch from the sup
port Of Edwards to Elkihs, and the
peculiar incidents attached thereto
have likewise angered the Edwards
people, and the result has been the
development OF a great deal Of bitter
ness which Is likely 10 increase in
stead Of being allayed.
Hatfield Silent.
Easily the most important factor IN
the senatorial situation has not yet
shown his hand. That factor Is Gov.
ernor-elect II. d. Hatfield. All three
of the leading candidates arc claim.
Ing Hatheld's support It is very
clear that he cant be for all OF them
and 1t is not very certain that be If
for any n OF them. SO far Hatfield
has kept away from Charleston. He
has taken nc part In the organization
OF the legislature and ii any one
knows whom he Is going to support
for the United States Senate, or II he
Is going to support any one, that per
son has not been found. The truth is
that Hatfield Is under more or less
friendly obligations to all of the can.
didates, and doubtless would like to
escape taking an active part for OF
against any OF them. Should the in
fiuence of the governor-elect be
thrown decidedly for some one candi
date, the probabilities are that II
would be decisive of the result If a
caucus were to be held.
A Caucus improbable.
But there Is the rub. viii a eau
Gus be held? Those who are best in
formed believe that there will be no
caucus In other words the Republi-
can and Progressive members of the
Legislature viii go into the Legisla.
ture with the Democrats and vote
openly for their choice for the United
States Senate, and a Democratic vote
may cut just as much figure In the
final result as a Republican vote.
brought about by a combination of a
number of Republicans with a mum.
Der of Democrats, and with such a
possibility who will be the winner Is a
question that no prophet will attempt
to solve. OF one thing; however, care
full leaders who are on the ground
will take steps to be assured. That
is, that there will be no Lorimer in.
cident in the election of the United
States Senator. Already ugly rumors
are beginning to be circulated about
the too free use of money, and while
these rumors may have no founda-
tion they have been of sufficient
strength to alarm caution members
of the Legislature, and keen eyes will
be kept open.
The opposition to holding a caucus
does not come entirely from any par
tieular faction or interest. Some of
the so-calleG Progressives are ou'
posed to a caucus as are also some OF
the regular Republicans, However at
the last minute It may be seen that a
caucus or conference will be the only
solution of the problem and one will
be held.
