It was rumored in Fairmont to-

Definite news as to his prospective

The many friends of John J.
Cornweu in all parts Of the state
and elsewhere viii be sorry to learn
that the, former governor is in poor
health and that he will likely have
to undergo an operation of a seri-
Gus nature in the near future. Dis

Edward Cooper of Bramwell, w.
Va. spent few days recently in
Washington, attending the meeting
Of coal operators called to confer
with Secretary Hoover. Mr.. Coop

the fifth West Virginia district and
/ is one of the states largest and
most prominent coal operators He
has been frequently mentioned as
possible candidate for the Repnb-
lican nomination to the United
States Senate
While in the capital, Mr.. Cooper
took occasion to state that he

surances of support. he Thought the
list of entrants for the nomination
was now somewhat overcrowded,
and under no conditions would be
oppose H. C. Ogden. whose candi-
dacy was already announced.
"Mr. Ogden said Mr.. Cooper. "is
the ideal type of man for the
United States Senate, and his can
didacy meets with my hsartiest and
most cheerful support He is
man of sterling integrity and of
great mental calibre and is pre-
eminently qualified to represent his
state in a fitting manner.
''With Mr. Ogden in the senate,
West Virginia need not be afraid
Of being DETAINED by senators from
other states. ogden is a fighter.
and West Virginia badly needs a.
fighter in the Senate. We need
a man who is able to take the place
of dignity in the senatorial halls,
and meet his colleagues on basis
of mental equality. Sucn man 1s
