ney Is being considered I'm connection WITH
the democratic nomination in the second
west Virginia district, to be made at Kew
sey tomorrow. Mr.. Cornwell was the dem
ocratic candidate for governor last fall
and was defeated by about 1900 by Mr..
Dawson. the republican nominee Wheth-
er he wants to or not, 1t seems that Mr..
Cornwell will be obliged, at his party's
behest, to try conclusions with Mr.. Laktn.
the man nominated last Wednesday by the
republicans. Mr.. Lakin is little known in
West Virginia politics. He is a man of
wealth While the district is regarded as
republican, he will take nothing for grant
ed and will make a fight as If he were in
the greatest doubt.
Mr.. Lakin will have a press bureau
working in harmony with the party organ
ization, which will be in the hands of
Noah G. Keim, who was Mr.. Lakin's OPP
ponent for the nomination, but who has
been requested by Lakin to take charge Of
his fight. Mr.. Kcim is an old campaigner
and aided in managing some Of the warm
est and closest fights made by Mr.. Day.

congressional committee will be at Terra
Alta, the home of Mr.. Lakin. This is about
the central point in the district and is the
easiest of access from all quarters
The democrats propose to make the tax

claim the present law, promoted by Gov.
Dawson. is very obnoxious and the voter
will only want to get chance at Lakin.

West Virginia is a state noted for novel
political situations
Stuart W. Walker, who was defeated by
Aston G. Dayton for Congress last fall,
made his fight on the tax reform question
It would not be surprising II the election
about to be held will be the Dawson-C Corn
well fight over again on such a scale as
to command the undivided attention of the
entire state and sections OF adjoining
states as well. The election occurs June @
It is expected that Senator Elkins will
contribute literally toward the Lakin CAM

would be accounted triumph for the SEN

ond nomination without question and Will
be a power.
The day the democratic convention meets
