L. Wilson of West Virginia to the vacan-
cy, puts in the cabinet man more thor

During his twelve years in congress he was
the ardent advocate of the principles enun-

Wilson bill, which, like the M ills bill, was
defeated in the Senate; the Mills by Republi-
cans, the Wilson by Democrats. Mr.. Will
son is sound money, tariff reform, all
round Democrat,
