rect. the result will be a great boom in
GrusScup's stock. GrcsScup will have
IN" supper. of General Edward OToole.

ltr.,., vote IN his own country of Marion.
The C!arkShurG contingent, By which
The. Republicans refer TO Hon. Virgil
Highland uf. the National committee. and
hls able coadjutor Mr.. Sherman Den
ham are supposed 10 be favorable also
to Judge Morgan's candidacy. Judge
Morgan Is well and favorably known
also IN various parts of the state and
his personal Acquaintance will. undoubt-
cily add to his vote.
For minor offices Of the state ticket.
already candidates are beginning to
blossom out.
Hon. \. Il. Moore. formerly Of Wetzel
county. but for the last three years con-
ncctrd with tho State Auditors office at
Charleston. will. undoubtedly be a candi-
date for the nomination for Auditor.
Mr.. Moore mad" quite Il strong fight for
the domination in 1916. and was beaten
by small margin. In view Of the fact
that Auditor DarSt has Il wide acQuaint-
anc" all over the state and many
friends. tho race that Mr.. Moore made
against Mr.. DarSt was complimentary
to his running power
Major John c. Bond. formerly Adju-
taUt General OF the stat" has also an
nOunCCd his cand ,daCy for the nOmi-
nation Of Auditor. AMI will be strong
candidate. Major Bond has good war
record. 4 wide acquaintance. and is Il
gentleman Of very pleasing personality.
Assuming that State Supcrntcdent OF
Schools Shawkey Will not be 4 Cand dat @
for The state Supcrlnt"Hd"ncy. Mr. J. r.
Marsh. who is Secretary of the Board Of
Regents Of tn" Public Schools. and who
has been associated with Mr. Snawkcy
for q number Of years. is about ready
to announce his candidacy for State
Superintendent Of Schools ana friends
understand that be Will be in the race
Mr.. Marsh IS 4 w'll-knowu educator
and has wide acquaintance among the
school peopIa Of tho state. Mr. { +.
Hr"adwdter. Superintendent Of Schools
oi MIddl"bDuru". ". Va. it is under
St"vh will ais" be- 4 candidate for the
nomination. Professor Broadwatcr is
probably rs w"U-knnwu among tho
school men If the state as any other
aCt:v" instructor. He is very highly
spoken OF rs capable school man. and
his wide acquaintance Will bring him
many votes.
For Attorney General. Hon. T. w,
Cumnins Of Wheeling. has received
much favorable notice and is consider
ing being candidate Mr. Cumrnins is
one of the younger lawyers of the Ohio
county bar. He made an excellent rec
ord rs referee in bankruptcy. and has
had large practice in our local courts
He also has n war record which Is like
~ I" be of value in the event Of his en-
tcrinG the contest.
So far no candidates. have dcvcloped
for Secretary Of state. and Tor Com
missioner Of Agriculture. save the pres
en- irCumb"ntS. Hon. Houston q. Young
and Hon. James Stewart Both Of these
gentlemen will be Candidat"s 10 succeed
themselves. They will probably have
some GppOSjtiUn hut tho mon who may
aspire To defeat them have not yCr come
tn the front. However, il iS apparent
trer.' IS going to be quit" enough randi-
dates appealing 10 the Republican vo-
ters next year. enough t. prevent The
average man from forgetting that u pri.
mary is on.
