New York to meet certain capitalists
in the hope of consummating deal
which. IL it goes through, will mean
a very great deal to the central part
OF West Virginia.
Captain Pope is more OF n business
man than he is a politician. but no
man keeps in closer touch with party
doings than he. He is about us
staunch Republican as that party
can boast. and could have had office
time and again. had he accepted the
offer. But his large business held
him too close for excursions into Of
iice-holding politics.
'As to the governorship matter"
Capt. Pope said, so far as ! can OBJ
serve in Wood and nearby counties,
Judge Robinson has very large
lead. Our people know Judge Rob
inson in an Intimately personal way.
They esteem and respect him. They
believe in him. and think that he
would make n fine governor OF the
state. The situation might change in
my locality on the governorship mat
ter, but very much doubt 1t. / be-
lieve that Judge Robinson will be
very strongly supported in Wood and
surrounding countless"

Mention in several papers of the
telephone investigation instigated dur
ing Governor Fletcher's administra-
ton brings the case to mind again.
And, by the way, what has become of
the case? If our memory serves us
right it went to the supreme court
months and months ago. And if it is
in the supreme court, why has not that
body given an opinion? And if it does
not give an opinion, why don't the
proper authorities stir it up and find
out the reason why? The Monitor
always took more than passing inter-
est in that telephone case since the
petition to the governor starting the
whole thing originated in this corner
OF the state and is anxious to see this
thing cleared up, no matter where the
chips fall.
