I good chance to carry Wyoming coun-
ty next November
wyoming county is booming In a
business way. and growing rapidly"
said Mr.. Thomas today. There have
been thirteen new coal operations OPP
ened UP in the county within the last
year, There were only three opera
lions prior to that. The county is in a
healthy financial condition, with mo.
ney in the treasury, new court house
building at Pineville. and the money
on hand from the sale of $55O,0O0
worth of bonds voted by the people
for the purpose of building good roads.
! Up till the time these road bonds were
voted. Wyoming county didn't have a
cent debt against It.
Politically, there Is but one out
standing features in Wyoming county
just now. and In all that section OF the
state for that matter, and that is the
contest over the gorernorship nomina-
ton being waged by Attorney General
Lilly and Judge Robinson. One never
hears the other political contests dis.
cussed at all. The struggle over the
gbuernatorial honor is the whole thing.
II think that the sentiment Of the
Republicans in my part of the state is
quite strong for the nomination Of
Justice Hughes. My personal opinion
Is that the nominee of the Chicago
convention will be either Hughes or
Roosevelt. believe. too, that It will
be pretty clearly established within a
month from now Mt the furtherest,
which OF the two Il will be. It is also
my firm conviction that the Republt.
can party will be returned to the con.
troll of the national convention which
ever OF these two men is nominated,
Congressman Edward Cooper will
be renominated without opposition, |
believe. Mr.. Cooper has made good
in the House and his constituents rec.
ognize it and accord him honor and
credit for the fine record he has made
in the few months that he has been
here. He is many times stronger with
the voters Of the district now than
when he was elected. and he won out
then by handsome lead despite con.
ditions unfavorable to Republican sue.
