Kilgore could lead the 1940 ticket as Matthew Mansfield Neely, West Virginia’s three term senator, wins the governorship. Despite Washington’s legislative crash forcing cancellations, eight to ten radio stations broadcast 15 minute transcriptions by Kilgore weekly. He covers topics from cartels to reconversion and invites letters on any subject. His Senate influence fuels political enemies who deem him aloof from local duties.
