The people OF Marion County are
planning a great celebration for John

section on October IA. That day Will
be observed as "Cornweu Day"

The esteemed West Virginian is very
much troubled TO think that John I
Cornwell, the Democratic candidate
Tor governor. has refused to meet
King Hatfield in debate.

out is anticipated when he comes to
that section.
After Cornwell has visited Marion
County and Fairmont it is thought
that Judge Robinson will come along
few days later. The Republican can.
didate was in Fairmont for a few
hours on the day that Senator Borah
spoke there. He made just a brief
address, but stated that he would re-
turn later on in the campaign season
to make another address, the first one
being not satisfactory even to the
Judge himself.
Judge Robinson stated that he would
make red-hot speech on his next trip
into Fairmont; but those who know
the Judge do not believe there will
be anything of a startling nature 10
his second address in Marion County.
The work of the Wilson clubs is
going great in West Virginia. Almost
every day new branch of activity is
started by some of the clubs and is
picked up all along the line. The
idea to have Wilson clubs all over
the country was a good one and has
met with hearty cooperation I'm every
section of the country.

The most important contribution yet

Abe Lilly was tricked into withdraw

Mr.. Marcum managed Lilly's cam
paign in Cabell County, and fought
throughout the primary campaign for
the overthrow OF Hatfeldism. In the

was to be submitted to Robinson for
