under way for great rifle practicel

Parcel posts exhibits will be made.
upon request, at the county fairs in
West Virginia this year, and at other
civic expositions throughout thel
country at the direction of the post
master general The aim OF the post
master general is to bring to the at
tention of the public the facilities OF
tie system. Last year there were
exhibits at nearly 200 fairs and ex-
positions and it is the expectation OF
Mr. Burleson that the display VIII
be more extensive this year.
That the members Of his party In
Tyler county by large majority, will
be for Judge Ira Robinson IL he be-
comes candidate for the nomination
for governor, was one OF several
statements touching the politics of
the state which Alexander Mozena.
OF near Grafton, made at the Willard
today. ''If Judge Robinson isn't a
candidate and Mr.. Highland, OF
Clark sburg is, then us Taylor county
folks will more than likely line up
behind the Harrison county man.
declared Mr.. Mozena. In con-
eressional way this Is the first time
that we have associated with the
First district counties for great
number of years. Having just come
into the family. SO to speak. Taylor
county isn't going to offer candi-
date this time. She will wait for
few years. However, there is great
interest among the Republicans OF
the county to see who is nominated
and to do their part in the work.
There is strong sentiment that
the nominee should come from Mar
ion county as it seems a certainty
that the candidate of the opposition
will hail from that county. Any man
that the Marion county brethren can
unite on will. feel sure, get the
bulk of the party's votes In Taylor.
tt was my understanding when left
home that the Marion county folks
had agreed to stand by Thomas w.
Fleming and. if so. that will be all
right with our folks. They know
Col. Fleming, esteem him highly and
will support him earnestly. Who
ever is nominated, however. must be
free of factfona1 scars and capable
of uniting the party from one end OF
i the district to the other. Otherwise.
