~tt1~ct mu0h attention out.side
the eastern section of the State.
And there have been few men in
Vhe eastern section of the sta~e
who ha~e managed to successfully
mount a state wide campaign. The
Bean candidacy may as weM be
headed for the same fate that be-
fell l~te candidacy of J. Howard
Myers four years ago.
In addition to Skeen. Barron
and Bean, there are three other
persons ,who have indicated more
,than a passing ~r~terest in making

Democrats For Governor
The race for t~e DemocraVic
nomination for Governor in West
Virginia, just a few short 'months
away, promises %0 be one of ghe
most interesting political races in
West Virgima in some time. The
~feeli~g ~s ~h~t who ever comes up
with the Democratic nom4nation
will stand a better than even ~an
ce of returning the governorship
~o .the Democratic Party, and for
%hat reason the Democratic nom-
ana~ion will be vigorously sought.
At ~he moment it would appear
that the Republican nominee will,
in all probability, .be former Sen-
ator Chapman Revercomb.
As of the moment no Democrat
ic c~da~la~s have taken the vir-
tually irrevocable step of filing,
but at least Vhree ,possible candid-
~tes have let it ~be known they will
,probably be in the race. Wallace
W. Barron, of Elkins, and who is
now Attorney General, has been
getting around over the state
quite R bit and seems certain to be
a vandidate. Orel J. Skeen, State
Treasurer, h~s indicated he will
*probably make .the race; and
