WHEELING, w. Va, June 17-West
Virginia politicians are still discussing the
recent congressional election in the second
district and Col. Davis victory and specu-
lating as to the amount Of aid rendered to
the republican nominee, James 8. Lakin, by
Senator Elkins, The statement in the SEN
ator's behalf this week TO the effect that
he contributed a check to Lakin's cam
paign fund has developed that he contrib
uted S1,0e0 for this purpose
Senator Scott contributed $780, which Is
considered pretty liberal. as. unlike Elkins,
he does not live in the district and is se-
cure in his seat for six years. The leaders
Of the anti-Elkins movement profess to see
much significance in the fact that Randolph
county-Senator Elkins' home county-in-
creased its democratic majority, while neal
ly every other democratic county in the dis
trict showed slump. Berkely county,
which was expected to give Davis big
majority, went for Lakin by three votes.
Last year it gave Walker more than 200
majority over Dayton.
Next in Importance to the discussable Ell
kins phase is the prominent and openly act-
i've part played in behalf of Col Davis by
Fairfax S. Landstreet, who was one Of
West Virginia's delegates to the republican
national convention last year. OF course,
his ties of kindred account for his active
support of the democratic congressional
candidate but many republicans do not
think he should have gone to the extent he
did in the counties where he exerts so much
influence. He is credited largely for max

Mr.. Landstreet's Attitude.

Inasmuch as Mr.. Landstreet is likewise
related to Henry G. Davis there is specula-
ton as to his attitude in the presidential
feature last November. Mr. Landstreet Is
one of the influential men of the state who
came over to the republicans from the de-
mocracy on the money question several
years ago. He has always been given any
honors the republicans could bcstow, and is
personally very popular. 1t is said he Will
be equally active for Senator ,Elkins in lin
ing up a republican legislature. but this
course naturally does not meet with appro-
val by the anti-EkinS following.
Speaking of this anti-Elkins sentiment Vt
is noteworthy that Notwithstanding Its
strong evidence, it is confined more to poll
ticians than to voters mass. There is
no avowed candidate for the senior senator s
shoes to center on and none is being devel-
oped SO far as can be seen. The chief dam
ger to Mr.. Elkins is in the selection of d
democratic legislature next year, which his
antagonists may help bring about, for they
are mostly opposed to the new state tax
system question that WILDE the issue of
the campaign.

her With sadness, she has gone to a

her friends weep? Only short time
and death will come To US all, as il
has come TO her. Only little while
and the busy brain, aud the active
mind, and the throobing heart of all
of those who today enjoy life's
blessings will cease. Only short
span of pain and pleasure, a few
years, At best, of tears and laughter,
and all is over.
Although the weather was very
cold Sunday morning there was a
lar re audience at the Congregational
church where funeral services were
conducted. Rev. John Mccarthy,
minister of the First Congregational
church of Huntington, had charge
of the services. His discourse was

PRoCEE DINGs have been instituted

lon to recover back license money
from the domestic and foreign
breweries and distilleries doing bus
mess in West Virginia. This ac
ton, which will naturally provoke
the biggest sensation known In the
liquor business in this State for

preme Court decision which held
that manufacturers license for
the county in which the brewery or
distillery was located, did not i'm.
ply the right to MAINTAIN cold storage
houses, substations or distributing
agencies in other counties through
which beer and whisky were sold
IN quantities large and small. Fur
thermor', where, it is alleged, the
agencies of these brewerIes have
sold beer in retail lots, or agencies
of disoillerIes sold whisky the same
way, they are liable also for the
failure TO take out retailers licenses
In the several counties in which such
business was engaged in. 1t is
claimed, too, that the liquor man
ufacturers are held liable for five
years back. The aggregate amount of
money they are obligated to pay
reach $3.50, 900, and of this sum the
