Mr.. Mckinney had good word
to say OF several gubernatorfal posi-

with his compliments for John j.

C. w. Osenton. of Fayetteville. ana
owen s. Mckinney. of Fairmont,
two of about as well known Demo
cratic politicians as there are to be
found in West Virginia. met in the
Raleigh lobby last week. Mr.. Osen-
ton was on a motor trip with q
party OF friends and the Fairmone
man was going home from the far
and etfete East.
Strange to say, both being on a
vacation trip, they didn't care to
talk much OF politics. Mr.. osenton,
who is a staunch friend of Senator
W. 81 Chiffon did, however as he
has time and again done before pre-
dicted that Senator Chiffon would, be
the nominee OF his party to succeed
himself, and he added this new fea-
ture 10 the prophecy, that he be-
lfeved the nomination would go
to the senior senator from West Vir-
ginia without opposition. As to the
goyernorship in that party, Mr. 0s-
enton said that, SO far as he coulli!d

ment settled down heavily on any
