WASHINGTON. June pa local
newspaper, in specializing on the
growth of the German boom for the
Presidency, asserted the other day that
the Maryland statesmans friends
counted with certainty OH the West
Virginia delegation to the Democratic
national convention.
One of the most prominent of the
leaders of the West Virginia Democ-
racy, who is frequently in Washington,
when asked as to the truth of the as
sumption that German would have the
support of the West Virginia delega-
ton, said it was entirely too soon to
make any prediction as to where the
delegation would stand on the ques-
ton of the next Presidential candi-
date.
West Virginia. he continued, sis a
State which is not easily manipulated
by politicians in the manner German s
friends are said to have DONE 1t is a
close State, and popular sentiment
must be consulted in order to insure
the success of any party move, and
not the wishes of the politicians. The
attitude of the West Virginia delega-
ton will be determined by the State
convention which selects it, and the
convention will be a pretty clear re-
Election of the sentiment of the Democ-
racy throughout the State No accu-
rate prediction, however, can be made
as to the sentiments of the delegation
SO far in advance of its selection Mr..
German cannot be said to possess a
thing which as yet has no existence
Germans friends are undoubtedly at
work for him in West Virginia, as
they are in other States, but the result
OF their labors appears, to the best
political observers here. to be alto
gether matter of speculation. Moth
ing tangible in the way. of German
delegation from anywhere has yet
turned up.
