SELECT FAIRMoNT.

- AIRMoNT has again been honorea- The West vir-
II ginia State Medical association has selected this
city for its next convention. The action was taken
at Wheeling yesterday.
This city has long been recognized ideal place
for conventions and the number Of prominent organiza
tons which hold their annual meetings here is sufficient
proof OF The popularity Of Famont in this respect The
drawback TO holding big gatherings here has been
the lack If adequate ho.e accommodations When the
hotel is completed Farmont will be in position to
handle satisfactorily any convention.

1t behooves the Republicans of West
Virginia to present the the best man
available for the high and exalted pc.

ures up to the requirements. In the
person of General Abe A. Lilly he is
strong. muscular. physically, mentally
and politically. And Republican none
better was ever grown on West Vir.

leader among men.
And In every campaign in recent
years General Lilly has stood at the
'front.' Of the Republican army and
waged war against the common ell
envy, the Democrats.
In the hour OF the party's greatest
peril. young General Lilly has always
been found on the firing line and has
been successful in every battle. The
Republican party wants just such a
leader as General Abe Lilly at the
head OF the State ticket.
Four years ago he rolled up ma.
