THE WAY 1T LOOKS TO THE LII
lYlTES.

FAIRMoNT, June 8.-[Editor West
Virginian1- AS time passes on II
looks more like Lilly for governor OF
West Virginia after March 4, 1917.
When we survey the situation at the
present writing 1t looks very much as
though Honest Abe has turned the Ia.
bles on the warning hosts Of Judge
Robinson and his machine guns of the
State house. ! can not conceive OF
any plan by which Governor H. d.
Hatfield Of West Virginia can defeat
General Abe Lilly for the nomination
of governor Of West Virginia at the
primary election. Gen. Abe Lilly ma
jority over his Democratic competitor
four years ago was nineteen thous.
and and Governor n. D. Hatfield who
was then Republican candidate for
governor and was on the same ticket
led his competitor by eight thousand
seven hundred and seventy. Nineteen
thousand, Gen. Abe Lilly's majority,
less eight thousand seven hundred and
seventy Governor Hatfield's majority
gives Gen. Abe Lilly majority Of
Governor Hatfield of ten thousand
two hundred and thirty.
Remember Governor Hatfield this
was at the same election and on the
same day that Gen. Abe Lilly trim
med you to the tune-of ten thousand
two hundred and thirty votes. And
in the face Of these facts 1t is being
preached all over the state by Judge
Robinson's hackers that Gen. Abe Lii
ly is weak candidate. You gentle
men are measuring Honest Abe's good
with your own yard stick. Let me
say to You there has been no one In
this State who ever measured straight
with General Hbe Lilly, your next can.
didate for Governor. Let me admonish
you, do not kill the goose that laid
the golden egg. But instead lets re-
member this scripture quotation: "And
Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness so shall the son Of man be
lifted up" Truth crushed to earth
will rise again" With best wishes
for the editor and the great paper.
