WEST VIRGINIA
VOTE TOMORROW
SEEN AS HEAVY
SILENT CANDIDATE OP
POSES ROOSEVELT;BO
RAH UNOPPOSED
CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 11
(TP).—One of the most silent candi
dates for the presidential nomination
on record will battle President Roose
velt at the West Virginia Democratic
primary polls tomorrow.
The President’s primary opponent
Is Joseph A. Coutremarsh, of New
Hampshire. Aside from filing in the
West Virginia primary contest, Cout
remarsh has done little In his at
tempt to West Virginia
delegation ballots. He has made no
speeches, he has distributed no litera
ture and very few West Virginia
voters, if any, have ever seen the gen
tleman from New Hampshire.
President Roosevelt isn’t expected
tn have much trouble in piling up a
vote edge over his primary opponent.
On the Republican ballot, Senator
William E. Borah to unopposed, but
faces a hard fight waged by those
who favor an uriinstructed delegation
’ympathetic to Governor Alf Landon
of Kansas.
A record vote Is expected in the
West Virginia primaries. The recent
battle between Senator Rush D. Holt
and Senator M. M. Neely, has made
a wide split in the state Democratic
party and half a dozen factional bat
tles will be settled at the polls.

fed through an eye-dropper.
Seeing that the quadruplets’ fa
ther, Emil Kasper, earns only $22

Mayor Benjamin F .Turner of Pas

due. Governor Harold G. Hoffman
