virtually cOnCeding the justness OF the
Complaints made by the opposition, and
promising To accomplish what they de-
manded, Mr.. Walkers things would be
in much better condition at this time.
He believes that the force OF this secret
organization will have been spent be-
fore the election time arrives next year,
and that the Democracy will carry the
State "a heretofore. West Virginia Is
essentially a Democratic State, and will
not be likely TO swing from her moor
ings, politically, just as the party is com
inc into power in all departments OF the
government.
In regard 10 candidates Mr. Hogeman
had heard no one mentioned for Cover
nor from that section. Mr. j. \. Cam
den would probably be the first choice
Of the Democracy of that section If he
were 10 declare himself candidate; but
Mr.. Jefers would be entirely acceptable
TO them"
'Win Mr.. Kenna be returned to Con-
gress?" one asked.

said Mr.. Hogeman; mot so much for
anything he has done, or what he has
Jailed 10 do that he ought TO have done,
as for his failure 10 answer expectations
which he gave cOuntenanCe TO and which
neither he nor any other man could
have satisfied. If he had fought the
heresy last Fall, it would have lived TO
trip him up next Fall.
"Will Nj. Hereford be returned to his
seat in the Senate?'
"Many of our people think Mr.. Here
