ELKINS. w. Va. July Is. 1904.
The town of Elkins, w. Va. the home
of the democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. is likely to become much better
known to the country at large than 1t was
before the st. Louis convention met. 1t Is
located at an altitude Of 1000 feet above
sea level in a mining region of central West
Virginia. and is the county seat OF a coun-
ty (Randolph) which has an area as large
as that of the state of Rhode Island. The
town was founded twelve years ago at the
then junction Of the West Virginia Central
railway now a part of the Wabash system.
1t has population of nearly 1000. and is
provided with natural gas. electric lights,
good schools, a college. one Of the best
hospitals In the state the latter, with other
improvements, having been donated the
community by former Senator Davis. Five
railroads send eighteen trainS-pasSenger
and freight-in and out of town daily and
another railroad is projected which VIII
bring Ekins within much easier distance
Of Charleston. the states capital, than 1t Is
now.
There is no liquor sold in the town and
the curfew rings the children off the streets
at o'clock pm. every day in the week
Elkins is about 255 miles from Washing
ton by rail. 113 miles from Cumberland,
sixty miles from Grafton, 13I miles from
Wheeling and about lob miles, from Pitts
burg.
Senator Davis residence is on COM
handing eevat ton north of the town.
Within one hundred yards to the east is the
residence of his son-in-law, Senator Elkins,
and in the other direction not far away Is
the summer home of Richard c. Kerens. so
long the republican national committee
man for the state of Missouri. These three
mansions are chief features of the hand
some surroundings. They overlook the
town and from either a good view can be
obtained for scope of thirty miles or
more. Rich mountain. made famous dur
ing the civil war by reason of a hard-fought
battle which history has recorded, Is not
far away. Senator Davis and Senator FL
kins own 600 acres of land each adjacent
to their homes. Fronting and surrounding
the latter's residence is a lawn space of
nearly seventy acres. and Senator Davis
has nearly as much. Both are fond of flow
ers and the walks and drives about the
premises of each lined with blooming
plants great deal of money has been
expended In adding to the attractiVeness
of the environments. and as much more
probably will be devoted to the same OBJ

Declines to Talk Palitics.

The Star correspondent called on Senator
Davis this afternoon and asked him for an
interview. He hesitated for time. declar-
ing he could only deal in generalities. He
finally said:
'.Of course. you will not expect me to say
ANYTHING on politics. My newspaper friends
in New York and elsewhere have been 50
kind as to solicit interviews with me, but
I have uniformly declined to say anything
for publication until l have conferred with
Judge Parker and our friends IN New 1olh
and elsewhere.
THE honor conferred upon me came I'M
solicited. / was not in st. Louis when
was nominate as L suppose you VIII re-
member and the news which followed me
was naturally a surprise.
1t was suggested to the senator that his
acceptance of the nomination Is regarded as
a certainty. To this he smilinSly responded
that even upon that topic he should decline
to talk until officially informed of the ac-
ton of the convention.
Continuing, the senator said that upon
the issues of today, as they are generally
accepted. his position is well known.
Il was member of the committed" he
said, which drafted the platform submit
ted for adoption at st. Louis. voted for ii.
1t recognized the gold standard fixed.
The subsequent events at St. Louis are well
known, having been printed in the news
papers. OF course, Judge Parkers dispatch
caused some commotion at the time, but
matters were quickly adjusted. and / be
lieve adjusted to the satisfaction of all the
delegates.
The tariff? Yes, l have always been
conservative tapiff man. Judge Parker and
| are in accord on the gold standard issue"
Senator Davis clearly indicated that on no
point of his record on public affairs, so far
as it applies to the present campaign,
would he change that record and that he
proposes to stand upon it as vice presiden-
tial candidate
Senator Davis has always been a busy
man, but naturally has not devoted as much
attention to business interests in late years
as formerly.
