While there are, many who say there is a difference between expectation and realization and prophesy that the machine cannot deliver the votes, the af- idavit, according to General Lilly's 'fiends, "serves to show to whttt extent Hatficld machine is being used to lictatc and control the nomination of Robinson. Some time ago Filander Gabbert, of Parkershurg, made, a public, statement that C. F. Rathbone, a deputy prohibi- ion commissioner, advised him that he could have the ollicc of state game and ish warden if he would support Judge While the prohibition deputies art icing utilised on behalf of tlie Robinson candidacy, it is charged by Lilly's ricnds that there has been an active effort, in recent days to line up the ivet vote in the state in behalf of Robuson.
