The purpose behind this gathering is
TO discuss tho political situation in
West Virginia and to formulate plans !
to meet the needs of the party cam
paiEn there. The fact that such an
event rs this is announced signifies that
the national officers of the Republican
organization are very much indeed con-
ccrned in helping TO bring about party
victory In West Virginia that will be
general; one, like those prior to 1910.
when their party had the habit OF
sweeping tho platter clean on election
day. Both Chalrmen Hays and Tess
have been advised by their own scouts.
as well as by the party leaders Of the
state, that tho prospects have not been
so good in recent years for smashing
big Republican victory in West Vir-
glnia as they now are. From oil the
reports that haro been made to them
thoy firmly believe that the party Is In
for a landslide in that state, and they
are, therefore. anxious to show the prop
CT interest in tho contest there, and
lend evory assistance within their power
to bring about the great victory that
in, pnDernl1y
