Rumored He Will Run for the
senatorship Abe Lilly
Visiting Here:
BY THE WATcHMANS

More complications and entries
are just ahead in the senatorial
race. AT least this is the intima-
ton in a special dispatch to the
Wheeling Intelligencer from Charles
Town, which, was carried on the
front page of Friday mornings is
sue.
The dispatch states that S.AB.
Montgomery, former commissioner
Of labor in West Virginia. one of
the gubernatorial candidates in the
primary in 1920, who is said to be
strong win the laporing class, will
announce himself as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States senator at the pri-
mary on August l. 1t is said that
Mr.. Montgomery has received let
tiers from all sections of the state
from his friends urging that he be
candidate for the nomination.
@ It is said that one OF the planks
in the platform upon which MIR.
Montgomery will base his claim to
place in the United States SEN
ate will be the impeachment OF
George W. McCfintic, federal
judge, who recently issued several
injunctions against the striking
miners.
The senatorial nomination pro
Sblem is certainly getting more com
aspirants for the place now held
by oward Sutherland are numer-
ous-alnlost formidable, as it were.
But perhap toward Sutherland may
say as did King, Agis: The Laced
aemonians are not wont to ask how
many, but where the enemy are.
If the Montgomery rumor does
nothing more, it will at least cause
great amount of talk and will stir
things up in the political pot Al
SO it may cause some serious think
ing on the part of many voters.
Lilly Here

who is a candidate for the Repup-
lican nomination for United States
Senator, is spending the day in
