 Former United States Senator John son N. Camden of West Virginia. has been among recent freauent visitors to Washington. Mir. Camden was the last Democratic colleague of Mir.

Camden was born in West Virginia in 1923 and is. therefore, but five years the junior or MT. Davis. Mir. Camden is weaitny banker of Parkersburg, W. Va, and the fact that he is again candidate for the United States Senate IS another evidence that the Democrats of west Virginia are this year taking re- markable interest In politics.

FRANKS OF LIGHTNING
HAS APPARENT GRUDGE AGAINST
 THE CONVICT DEPARTMENT.
In Rain storm Thursday $500 Damage Was Done the Buildings at
 Prison No. {.

Some of the employees of the State Government are of the opinion that lightning has some sort of grudge against the State Convict Department. Just why the elemental electricity should start out to destroy the proper ty of the thorough, hard-working Con yict Department no one could say, but certain 1t Is that lightning has gone out in a business way to do damage to the department.
 About two weeks ago the head quarters of the department at the capitol were struck and Thursday dur ing the rain storm lightning struck a barn belong to the department on Pri- son No. 1, eight miles north of Mont gomery and in the fire which follow ed $500 worth of property was destroy ed.
 The bolt which struck the capitol two weeks ago passed over or around every other department in the building and flashed into the Convict Department. The long flash of fire which marked the entry of the bolt was quite startling to Chief Clerk Robert Tait who was standing at high desk figuring up the States profits from the convicts. He denies, however, that 1t had anything to do with his hairs turning gray. It Is declared that on that momentous oc- casion the officials of the convict de- partment remained calm and serene. but that the workers in other depart ments dived both under and over roller top desks and one Is said to have grabbed a waste basket jumped behind the door and protected himself with It.
 Now when that incident was about to be forgotten lightning comes along and burns up a lot of sheds and out houses on the prison farm. Small wonder 1t Is that some of the em- ployes of the Convict Department are figuring on what lightning rods can be bought for at wholesale rates.

Democrats are out of the wilderness and hungry for the milk and honey of Canaan. which their fathers enjoyed They are marching on Canaan to pos sess their birthright. which their lead CTS sold for mess of pottage in 1896, and didn't get the pottage. Watson's mad because the Democrats are march, ing on Canaan.
 It Is amusing to read the greetings the Republicans give Watson. They are ready to hail him Butcher. The New York Tribune quotes the man with admiration and tentative approv- al. It takes up what 1t calls his argu- ments and applauds their honesty and fntimates that it is agin the law for a Democrat to disagree with this demagogue in statesmanship and jan- izary in politics. The Tribune charac- terized as principle" in 1904, what 1t called idiocy in 1896. Then. according to The Tribune, Watson was fool nd possibly traitor; now The Tribune is pursuaded he is a statesman and is certain he is a patriot. The Tribune is determined that the gold standard is an issue and proves 1t by Watson. who it contends, is a heap better Democrat that Parker, or Bryan, or Cleveland or others.
 Can 1t be that the Republican cam paign Is so desperate that Tom Watson Is become a valuable political asset, recruited to help Roosevelt because the Democrats nominated a gold stand ard man? What good can the rawlings of this blatant demagogue about the gold standard do the Republican cause. when, only last winter, he insisted that the Democratic convention should nominate another gold standard man if it wanted his support. Is William R. Hearst better than Alton B. Parker because he had barrel and knocked the head out of it-both heads?
 It is a dangerous business this thing of having dealings with the Populist party-better trade with Trapbois. The Democrats know how it Is. En- couragement lent to Watson in 1904 will work to strengthen the socialstic movement of the future. In 1908 our country may be confronted with a dan ger greater than that of 1896. What ever strengthens Tom Watson now will have its effect then.
 Why cannot the Republican party have a fair stand-up fight with the Democratic party? Is 1t afraid? O, if that committee that has him hand cuffed and gagged. would only turn the Rough-rider loose. We would then have some politics.
