People,

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, Jan. AT
brated New Years Day opening his
campaign for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor by talking to more
than 5000 people in Mcdowell and
Mercer counties. The coming of the
attorney general was attended by a
wave of enthusiasm and he was Civ
en- one of the most cordial receptions
ever rendered gubernatorial candi
date.
General Lilly came to Bluefield and
was the principal speaker at meet
ing held here which was also largely
attended. Friends of the attorney
general here expressed themselves as
plased beyond expectations at the
reception rendered the Republican
candidate. While the Raleigh candi-
date has always been popular in the
southern counties they declared that
the enthusiasm manifested, with the
primary six months away, was signi-
ficant and indicated a sweeping SEN
timent for General Lilly.
Candidate A, A. Lilly opened his
campaign headquarters in Charleston
yesterday and it is expected that his
campaign for the governorship will
be vigorously prosecuted. DIR. S. S.
Sutphin, of Beckley, an experienced
and successful campaigner. who ar
rived in the city yesterday has taken
charge of the headquarters.

ARGUMENT THAT WON'T WEAR.

Those who are opposing Judge
Robinson's candidacy, because among
the many thousands of loyal West
Virginians. who are doing so hap
pens to be Governor Hatfield, should
heed the following interview Civ n
Charles Brooks Smith in Washing
ton by Ex-senator Elkins who is re-
ported as being anti4Hatfield:
Ex-senator David Eikins, before his
departure from the Capitol today.
gave out another interview-the sec
ond within week. on the Republican
situation in West Virginia. The first
one was general survey of the par
ty conditions as they looked to him,
with a lot of sound harmony advice
sandwiched in. and strong endorse.
ment of the candidacy of Ex-Governor
A. B. White. The one today was in
answer to the more or less question.
able argument offered by opponents
OF Judge Ira E. Robinson that his
candidacy is the result of a secret
alliance with what is termed the tHa,
field factionf' Elkins scored that
argument as ridiculously absurd and
declared that if that was the strong
est argument that could be advanc-
ed against the nomination of Judge
Robinson he and his friends need
have nothing to fear. Such a
charge as that is TOO weak and
idiotic to fool anybody" declared Elk
ms. 1T isn't strong enough to
wear a week, and if the opposition
to Judge Robinson cannot base their
position on a stronger foundation
than that, one that will have at least
a grain of truth in its and not as
sumo, as this one does, that the peo
pie of the state lack intelligence, then
they are in bad way indeed and
they haven't a chance in a hundred
of preventing the success of Judge
Robinson's candidacy either in the
primary or at the polls.
This absurd charge is in my judy
ment, not only reflection upon Judge
Robinson, which is totally unwar-
ranted by his character as a private
individual of statewide prominence,
but it is equally as much a reflection
upon the intelligence of our voters
il the mass. Our people know Judge
Robinson. He is no stranger to them.
He needs no Introduction. His pri-
vate life and public service are as
an open book before them The logic
o. his candidacy if it means anything
to the public means first and above
everything else that there is the most
widespread confidence in his absolute
honesty and impartially a general and
deep-rooted belief that he is a free
agent upon whom no strings are held
by political factions, commercial
cliques, or particular and especial
elements of any kind whatsoever.
1T is high time that this silly and
senseless charge be withdrawn by
those responsible for if that isn't
done, that the people who know
Judge Robinson and believe in was
ing politics on plane of justice and
decency, treat it with contempt which
ii deserves. Grafton Sentinel

Ticket Agents Believe.
Take Kids Home to Grandpa's
and Garry Christmas Gifts.
CROWD is ALL -NATURED
Some Trains Were Late, but
Nobody Minded That Much.
Ask Foolish Questions o
Clerks, but Are Happy.

1t looked as if about everybody in
Topeka was going back to the old
folks for Christmas, at the railroad
stations. From back of the wickets
where the ticket clerks sold paste
board passes to innumerable Christ
mas trees and home-cooked dinners,
every class and condition of humanity
seemed to be on the move somewhere.
Many a passenger, bubbling over
and unable to contain all the Christ
mas cheer which was filling his soul
couldn't resist telling the clerks how
he was going to enjoy Christmas. And
if he didn't put into words, shining
face and an anticipative eye generally
betrayed the fact anyhow
There was larger call for half fare
tickets than usual Sunday because
they were taking the youngsters home
to that childhood fairyland, grand
pas
Not all of the presents had been
sent ahead, however. To every pas
senger there was an average burden
of about five parcels. exasperatingly
mysterious and fairly exuding Christ
mas" And the more kids some dis
tracted mother was shepherding on
the way to the holiday scene, the
more parcels there were as a general
rule.
If it wasn't the children and the
grandchildren going back to the old
homestead for the season, the old
folks were going to visit some favorite
child. And it was a question who was
the happier, the old or the young. II
anything the old folks carried the
most parcels.
On a Long Trip.
Folks don't seem to care for
Christmas like they used to- said one
gray-haired passenger, who, with
Mother" was waiting for an hour
late train to the western part of the
state. They were going to visit a
married daughter. First time Lilly

camp with her." he explained. The
old folks carried luggage enough to
! have supplied, so far as bulk went
half a dozen travelling statesmen, and
| it was a safe bet that when they re-
| turned to their home across the Mis-
sissippi there wouldn't be nearly sc
much to look after.

young enough to get by on it. He too
was going to Grandma's' and ex
