In every organization there must be
pep in order to bring the desired
result. This is particularly true of
political organizations. The Republic
can party this year has all the pep"
in its campaign that could be desired
and most of it emanates from Colonel
Wilbur II. Brand, OF Fairmont, who is
styled the 'pepperbox" at Republican
state headquarters here. Colonel
Brand is assistant secretary OF the
state executive committee. Chairmen
from counties that are overwhelmingly
Democratic may come to state head
quarters feeling little discouraged,
but after talking with Brand they go
away in happier mood determined
to reduce that Democratic majority.
Colonel Brand, who is we'll known
and popular throughout the northern
part Of West Virginia, was born and
raised in Marion county and now re-
sides at Fairmont, Although compare
lively young man he has had plenty
of experience In the political game
and is regarded by older heads as an
astute politician. In 1886, then only
mere boy, he was secretary of the
Marion county Republican executive
