So many people in Fairmont and

and get a bottle OF Vinol, and II Il
falls to benefit we will return your
money.
In her eighty.second year Mrs. John
Wickersham, Of Russellville, Pa, says
Il was In q rundown, feeble condi

asked me to try Vinol. and after taking
two bottles my strength returned;
am gaining In flesh, It has built up
my health and I am feeling fine for a
woman of my age, so get around
and do my Homework"
The reason Vinol was so success.

because It contains beef and cod liy.

very elements needed to build ND a

MAJORITY FOR
ROBINSON MAY
BREAK RECORD
Republicans Have Been Ac-
tive and Harmony Ex-
lists.
unDlIii III InDITVlLDnr
NORMAL MAJORITY LARGE
Judge Ends Up Campaign
Tonight With Martins
burg Speech.

Special DIspatch to West virginian)
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Nov. g.
Tomorrow Judge Ira e. Robinson, OF
Grafton, will undoubtedly be elected
governor Of West Virginia. This is
the unqualified opinion Of those who
have been In active charge Of his cam.
paign and Of those who have travelled
with him in his canvass OF the state.
He has made more vigorous. more
stirring and more complete campaign
than any candidate for governor OF
West Virginia ever made. There Is a
normal Republican majority Of TWEEN.
ty-five thousand in the state, and a
greater spirit Of harmony in the party
than ever before, SO what reason or
logic could there be in doubling his
election?
The Republican ticket in West vir.
ginia could be defeated this year only
by the failure Of the party members to
turn out to the polls and this is not
likely to happen. because there has
been greater activity among the rank
and file this year than In any CAM
paign for twenty years.
There are many among the active
supporters of Judge Robinson who be.
lieve that he will be given greater
majority than any candidate for gov
ernor of West Virginia ever received.
The Republican state and county
organizations have polled every pre-
cinct in the state and II there are Re.
publicans against Judge Robinson in
sufficient numbers to influence even
slightly the normal party majority,
they cannot be found. On the other
hand the judge will get thousands OF
Democratic votes from that element
in the Democratic party which resents
the domination OF Clarence w. Watson
over their party affairs. Added OF all
this Judge Robinson has the open and
active support Of labor friendly to him
because of his decision in the Martial
law cases growing out OF the Kanawha
valley coal strike and hostile to the
Democrats because of Watson's well
established reputation for subduing la.
Dor. Organizations in the Fairmont
coal region.
The vast majority OF business men
In West Virginia are for Judge Robin.
son because they have the humanitar.
ian idea of life and believe in his sense
Of fairness. It has been aptly and we'll
said in this campaign that he is the
candidate with a heart, conscience
and brains. But. without all his espe
cial qualifications and the favorable
conditions judge Robinson should
easily win on the record Of his party
for state service, for as even Demo
crat recently put it, "a man who could
not support the Republican party on
the record of its accomplishments in
West Virginia within the past twenty
years would be superlative bone
head"
Tonight the judge winds up his cam
paign with a speech here and will
leave at once for his home In Grafton
to spend election day.

G0Ns0L. COMPANY HELPS

4 Blk hundred and thirty.onc commun-
1tyimeetings we're held In Marion coun.
~; last year under the direction OF the
county superintendents and county
agricultural agents offices. These
meetings were practical expression
OF the movement In state educational
circles toward night school and extern.
sion school work and placed Marion
county In the forefront Of the counties
engaged In this special work.
The Consolidation Coal Company Is
cooperating with the school men in
bringing better living and Industrial
conditions in the towns where they
have Investments and workmen. At
Watson, the Consolidation company
at the suggestion Of Miss Marguerite
Jordan, their welfare worker. has en-
gagged the services Of a special trained
nurse who wraps up the cut finder and
puts salye on the scratches, and in gen.
eral looks after the health of the COM
munity. This Watson idea is proving
30 remarkably beneficial that 1t may
be given more general operation by
the company
In the agricultural sections the meet
ings are for educational purposes along
farming and stockraising lines. Hun.
dreds Of these meetings are held in
school houses during the winter
months and bring to the farmers prac-
ticat information which they can ap-
ply to their fends in the spring. In
the mining towns there are given talks
on the miners gardens, which were SO
popular last year.
Lessons In household efficiency and
economy are also taught to the women
folks.
"The idea of the night school," says
County Superintendent Toothman, lis
not the idea which my office, and the
office Of Farm Agent Smith is carry.
tng out. We believe though, that our
line Of work, and what we have planned
TO do. is more important than any
work that might be done through night
school, although understand am not
depreciating that phase OF extension
work. According to the records in my
office there are Sc % per cent. more
flitefates over the age of 20. than
there are between Is and 20. This
proves that the illiterates are OF that
class which the present educational
system has not reached, namely the
foreigners. To reach these foreign.
ers We have to offer them something
more practical than a mere instruction
In figures and letters. We are there
fore going after them with vocational
work, and are doing them good"
The plans Of the county superin-
tendent's office for the coming winter
are for q larger number of meetings
and greater cooperation with the
people in the various school districts.

broadening the scope Of the county

HUGHES WILL CARRY
n. Y. BY 100000

Especial Dispatch to West virginian)
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. - New York
states will be back of Charles E..
Hughes on November Z with at least
100000 majority. Laboring men and
all other groups of wage earners are
standing by him staunchly. Ninety
per cent. Of the Progressive vote Of
1912 and from ten to twelve per cent.
Of the vote cast four years ago for Will
son is assured him.
Such is the prediction Of Philip ].
McCook, president Of the New York
Hughes Alliance. The fact that there
are enrolled In the New York Alliance
175,000 voters Of all parties, the great
est group ever brought together in a
non.partisan movement, justified Mr..
McCook In speaking with authority on
the result In this state.
Mr.. McCook says: Ninety per cent.
Of the Progressives of 1912 will vote
for Hughes. Between ten per cent. and
twelve per cent. of those who voted for
Wilson IN 1912 will vote for Hughes.
The drift Of the Taft vote In 1912 to
Wilson is inconsiderable. The indie.
pendents are in very large numbers for
Hughes. The labor vote will, as usual.
be divided, and Of it Mr.. Hughes will
receive at least the usual share which
goes to Republican candidate.
New York will give at least 100 1000
majority for Hughes, and | shall be
rather surprised II 1t Is not nearer $780,.
900. The Hughes Alliance in this
state now has over 1850 members.
From a careful analysis Of our mem.
bership recently made the following
significant facts appear: SO per cent.
or $4,000 are laborers; 81 per cent. or
54,250 are clerks, statesmen and buy
ers. Our enrolment shows that in
New York state Governor Hughes has
the friendship and support OF an ex-
traordinary number Of those who are
dependent for their living upon their
daily wages. Our analysis also shows
that far more than half OF our members
did not vote the Republican ticket in
1912"

POLITICAL ADVERTISING
To The Old Soldiers of The
First Congressional District.

Congressman Nicely, as your representative in the
House, has during the past three years. made the fol-
lowing record in your behalf:
During the last session of Congress, he had enact
the old soldiers and their dependent ones than all
other five members Of Congress from West Virginia
combined.
During the recent session of Congress he broke
all previous records by passing ten special bills
through the House for the old soldiers in a single
day.
During the past year, Congressman Nicely has OBJ
tanned more than three times as many pensions and
increases for the old soldiers as any other member
Of Congress from this district Of any party, ever OBJ
tanned for them in similar length of time.
The old soldier is most respectfully requested tn
support the man at the polls tomorrow who has SO
successfully represented him during the past three
years.

There are admittedly more than
Z $4,000 voters in West Virginia. While
the total registration has not been
noriwil be reported 10 any department.
unless by special arrangement, 1t Is
admitted that it will total fully 10000
more than In 1912. It is the Republi.
can contention that the new voters rep
resent at least majority of ten per
cent. for that party. This claim is
dispued by the opposing major party
leaders who maintain that the new
vote Will be sufficiently In the Demo-
publican majority as shown by the
vote polled In 1912.
With more than 5000 members, the
Socialist party will have decided in.
nuence In this election. While this
party has Q national ticket on the bal
lot, in but few instances has It a coun-
gty ticket anywhere. This Is not neces-
sarily due to neglect on the part Of the
Socialists as q whole, for in nearly
svery county they signed the neces-
saSy petition to have their county tick.
ct on the ballot. The formalities Of
: getting this ticket certified were over.
looked principally by individuals to
whom that function was delegated.
While It Is generally assumed that
fully Is per cent Of those voting will
either Intentionally or negligently fail
to vote on the suffrage amendment, It
10 expected that the fact that this issue
sisSto be voted on will have tendenc,
to increase the total vote cast, for in
some counties the campaign on this
issue has been more heated than on
the main political issues involved on
the national and state ticket. In the
rural districts the subject Of votes for
women has been given more consider
alton It Is claimed than It has in the
larger towns and cities.
From state headquarters Of both
parties, those of the Democrats at
Fairmont and the Republicans at
lElarksburg, optimistic statements have
been issued on the result of the cleo
ton. That q heavy vote will be cast
Z Is assured, no matter what kind of
weather prevails tomorrow.
