WAS the declaration Of Francis l.. Fer
Euson, Wheeling ncwspapGrman travel
ing with Judge Robinson. 10 the Intel
ligrncrr last evening.
Mr.. Ferguson has visited At coun-
Ties Of the state. and nowhere In oil the
territory he has covered, he says, cnn
any serious dissatisfaction BIO found
among Republicans. This Is IL tint con-
trudIction by an experienced ncwspa-
pcrinan and close observer of stories
scattered broadcast through the Dem
ucratic press Of the state In an effort
In lead such persons as they can to be-
licrc that the G. O: T. ranks are torn
:,sundcr by strife. He further declares
;hut Judge Robinson is most wonder
tul candidate und that hn is drawing
/ greater crowds wherever hn goes than
political candidates usually draw. Judge
R0hinSons success MIR. Ferguson at
tributes 10 the fact that he is a tradi-
tional West VirGinian with love for
his native state that does not inspire
those who come to us only TO sock
| riches in tho developments OF West
| Virginia's wonderful resources.
IT believe the entire Republican ticket
will win in West Virginia" Mr.. Iergu-
/ son SAID. i nave visited ~ OIL LED ia
! counties of the state and base my con-
! illusions on rather close observations.
! Nowhere can any serious diatGection nc
/ found among Republicans. There Is
! greater unity and harmony in the party
/ this year than in any campaign in re-
! cent years. and more determination or
! purpose. Republicans generally are 60
! ing to vote for Hughes, sutherland,
I Robinson and tho entire state ticket.
Is Wonderful Candidate.
| Judge Robinson is n wonderful can
1idate. There is nothing noisy or b"is-
/ tcrUus in his campaign. He has covered
! the state more thoroughly than any
| randidate for governor ever did, and
! has made from one to eight speeches In
! each county visited. He gets closer at
tcntion than any public speaker ! have
/ ever heard. and Is drawing bigger
crowds than candidates for state office
usually draw.
That he has the opposition OF the
Ninson- uston-AIcKell crowd Is Il
! compliment to his sterling qualities
and will amount TO nauGht once tn"
! people Of the state understand thor
gentlemen. The day has passed when
! coal operators can dictate TO the men
! in the mines how they shall vote Th"
! coal miners and laboring men generally
! throughout tho state will vote for Judgr
Robinson because he has demonstrated
by his official record that he is against
! 'hull-pens and hoSsism.
! Judge Robinson is traditional
! West EirGiniar. and therefore has n
, love for his native stnlc that does not
, inspire those who come to us only L"
seek riches in tho development of our
wonderful resources. His father and
his grandfathers before him were ma
| tiyes Of the TySarts valley. and he Still!
, maintains his residence there. He has
the interests of every West Eirginian
! at heart. caters 70 no clique or crowd
! and I sincerely believe will make the
