Majority
Special To The Intelligence:


CHARLESTON. w. Va, May IL
Following the decision in the Mellow
ell Republican County Committee case
handed down by the supreme court here
this morning. the following statement
was given out from the headquarters Of
Col. Fred Paul Grosscup:
1.-The decision in the Mcdowell county
election case does not mean that Col
onel Grosscup will not have represen-
tation In the election officials of Nc
making tho appointment Of the third
commissioner of election, which auth
ority is solely vested in the county
court selected Grosscup men in prac c.
tIcally every precinct of Mcdowell
county, which ASSURES Colonel Grosscup
representation in tAfs respect.
"There can be no doubt as to the out:
come of the election in Mcdowell
county. The ousting Of the chairman
of the Republican County Committee
Of that county. Mr. McGinnis Hatfield,
by invoking the aid Of members OF the
county and who were generally regard
ed as having vacated their places on
the committee. and the election In his
place as chairman Of a man who lives
in the City of Cincinnati. Ohio. has
aroused such O feeling OF indignation
among the Republicans of Mcdowell
county that IL will result in an over
whelming reputation Of the action OF
the committee in the vote OF primary
day.
''The reports that have come to
Grosscup headquarters from the leaders
in Mcdowell county are such as to
Justify the confident prediction that
Colonel Grosscup will carry Mcdowell
county by Q larger majority than was
given Judge Ira Z. Robinson in the
Campaign Of 1916, when the anti-Robin-
son forces had control of the election
machinery. The men who are placed
in control Of the county committee by
the supreme court decision are the iden-
tical cnes who contributed TO the oe
feat of Judge Robinson in the general
election of 1916"
