isburg and w. II. Shock OF Rowles-
burg opposed the action but the Pro
gressiye machine headed by ex-Gov-
eTnor William NJ. o. lawson had COM
plete domination OF the situation and
downed all opposition.
Mr.. Laughlin met his first expert

tected 10 the endorsement OF Edwards
on b ground that the Kanawha man
was not the only Progressive candidate
In the Held and had no more been
designated the choice OF the PARTY
than w. p. Hubbard OF Ohio county or
a number OF others. He submitted
an amendment TO include Hubbard
and Dawson in the endorsement but
was swept under by the Dawson con-
trolled deluge.
Among tho Dawson machine leaders

by a number of lukewarm Edwards
