WHEELING. w. Va. September 2. 1906.
| Another meeting of the republican insur-
| gent leaders has been called. to meet next
week at Parkersburg, the scene OF their
second conference. When they first met
| at White Sulphur Springs six or seven
weeks ago It was reported that another
meeting would be held In the fall. but now
comes the third meeting within short
period. and the natural presumption Is that
there Is something doing.
On his return from a recent trip to Can
ada. where he sought rest from the political
strain. Gov. Dawson was quoted as saying
that IL the insurgents wanted fight he was
ready for them and that the next time they
come together he would not wear gloves
on his hands,"
The governors def has stirred up the in
surgents. They are doing considerable talk
Ing as to what the governor means with
his bare knuckle proposition. The average
citizen is looking for a more or less lively
time in the near future.
In stating he would discard five-ounce
mitts Gov. Dawson incidentally made the
prediction that when the legislature next
met there would not be a voice raised In
opposition to the new system Of state taxa
ton, and that those who had been leaders
in the opposition movement would be
ashamed to lift their heads because OF the
popularity the new laws Will have created
by that time. The governor did not claim
that the new laws were perfect, but gloried
In the advance they have made In popu-
larity
Senator Elkins Makes Statement.
Senator Elkins Is out in a general state
ment that the laws need patching up In
places and that he will have offered several
amendments He does not specify In par
ticular what the changes will be, and It is
likely he does not intend to make vital
alterations, while In some quarters there Is
an impression that his talk about amend
ments Is intended to palliate those who are
somewhat potently antagonistic to these
laws.
Randolph county Senator Elkins' home
county, has already taken on the appear
ance of a battle ground. The senator and
his lieutenants in that county intend TO
oppose the denomination OF Stark L. Baker
who wants to succeed himself In the state
senate. Baker is identified with the Teter
faction, and was one of the principal
hackers OF N. G.. Keim OF that cSNaty In
the contest last spring for the congress
sional nomination. Keim was strenuously
opposed by Senator Elkins, and while
Keim got the delegates to the Conversational
to face all the opposition the Elkins ele-
ment could muster I'm the convention, and
II was anybody to beat Keim." Keim lost.
Soon afterward Keim was chosen to con-
duct the campaign of the nominee and
after Lakin's defeat Keim was twitted
about his management by one OF Senator
Elkins' sons Keim had been the family
tutor OF the boys and he did not relish the
INVITING, and his reply that II the Ellkins

protesting delegates concluded its hearing
today William Wilhelm OF Pennsylvania

made q closing appeal to the supreme
council for the exercise OF fraternity, an
nouncing that his Views on several matters
connected with the management of the or
der had undergone a change during the
hearings although he was not entirely con-
verted
The committee now have the matter under
consideration and Is discussing the main
features of the report. but what conclusion
to determine.
To Take Care Of Old Members.
The proposition has been introduced for
the levying OF a fraternal tax of 10 cents a
year on each member OF the order to be
used in paying the assessments of those
aged members who are unable to pay them
A special order to be made In each case by
the supreme regent.
This was referred to a committee for con-
slderation. There Is a sentiment expressed
that might be called universal that the old
members OF the order should be taken care
OF In some way. 1t is not now expected
that further open meeting will be held.
To Report Conclusions.
When a conclusion is reached by the COM
mittee on assessments 1t will be reported
back to the supreme council and acted upon.
1t Is said that Abb Lands, the expert fra
ternal actuary whose addresses In these
meetings have done much toward influence
ing the sentiment regarding the new rates.
has really no plans TO lay before the su-
preme council.
He has suggested some notifications. but
all OF these. II Is said. are already before
the committee on assessments from other
sources and are under consideration. One
OF the most prominent of the officers of
the supreme council said today that the
rumor that the supreme council and the
protestants would sign a treaty of peace
was purely guesswork and no one in au-
thority could make such a statement now.

Bakers Aspirations.


Stark Baker was one of the unsuccessful
aspirants for internal revenue collector and
failed to land that plum because he did not
have Elklns' support. Senator E.kins con-
trolls the county organization and can pos
sibly eliminate Baker from further legisa-
tive consideration. but 1t will be fight, for
Baker is personally popular and has always
mmanded formidable array of strength.
1t is said that Elkins has been assured of
Bakers vote in the caucus. but this does
not seem satisfactory to the Elkins follow
ing and IL they can make the rifle Baker
will be turned down hard and man named
who will not be Identified with any OF the
crowds with which Baker has trained. This
will mean a pro-Elkins and pro-Dawson
man without question.
Sam B. Montgomery, the most active OF
the insurgents, still insists that Elkins mas
not completely paved his road to re-eiec-
tion No other candidate has appeared
and none is likely now to appear unless no
hobs up when the legislature convenes. To
guard against that likelihood the Eikfna
following will not slacken their pace. and
they are shaking the bushes just as hard
as If a clear-cut battle was on right now
Where q hold-oyer member of the legisla-
ture can be quoted in the senator's behalf
he is induced to come forward. The latest
to announce himself publicly for Elkins' re-
election Is Senator w. A. Ballard of Mon
roe county.
Unable to Meet the Issue.
1t Is learned that the reason Judge T. p.
Jacobs has not accepted Senator Monrgom-
ery's challenge to make public his invita-
ton to attend the White Sulphur Springs
conference of the insurgents Is that he de-
stroyed the letter. Montgomery sent him
two letters on the subject. which the judge
confesses he destroyed. Accordingly he Is
unable to meet the issue raised by Mont
gomery as to whether the judge fully UNI
derstood the import Of these invitations In
his first reply Judge Jacobs expressed his
sympathy with the call. but later wrote to
ex-Gov. White that he understood the call
to relate to a meeting Of republicans with
out factional considerations, and that on
learning the true object of the conference
he disavowed all connection.
That Jacobs Montgomery epistolary fea-
ture has tended to prolong through the
heated session matter that might other
wise have soon passed away. Now 1t runs
along with the Grant Hall challenge to
Gov Dawson as something that can be
stirred up at intervals and keep Virginans
from forgetting that politics is one Of the
states developed resources.
