spent the day in cruising along the

to be the most unsatisfactory held UNI
der the auspices of the New York
Yacht club for twenty-five years, due
largely to unfavorable weather eondi-
tons with which the fleet had to con-
tend almost from the start until Cape

up later, In the meantime the
conferences go on.
From his palatial summer
home at the town in Randolph
county that bears his name
Senator Elkins has been busy
for days writing letters. He
cultivated that art when he first
came to West Virginia and
jumped into politics. Invita-
tions to visit "Halliehurst"
have been literally distributed
since the insurgent fever broke
out, and many recipients have
journeyed to the throne room,
while others have not. There is
a saying INVEST Virginia that
all republicans in conversation
will roast Elkins but that when
he writes them to come and
confer they take the next train
even if they have to borrow the
money. The saying is not so
appropriate as it used tolbe.
ELLIOTT GETS IN LINE.
Marshal Charles d. Elliott is
working hard for his job and
should earn the Elkins support
for his recent hard work in the
senators behalf. He was far
from being an Elkins enthusiast
a year ago when he was one of
the Teter lieutenants but now
he is a thorough going admins
tration man. Ben f. Sayre, OF
Taylor coonty, is a candidate
for his shoes and there are
others, but they have to pro-
claim themselves for Elkins be-
fore they get consideration. The
marshalship is for the northern
district. In the Second con-
gressional district it sesms to be
a settled conclusion that Frank
Tyree of Huntington, will sue
coed John K. Thompson, the
incumbent. Tyree is member
of President Roosevelt's secret
service body guard and his ap'
| pointment will be a personal
one with the president.
This leaves the deputy mar
shals and the various officers oil
the federal courts and the Sec
ond district postoffices to be dis
posed of. If Elkins fails to de.
liver the goods the insurgents
will lack entirely the prestige
and influence that goes with
office holders. They will b.
frozen out entirely from a par
in the organization. They have
been swept out clean from the
state service and they are max
ing a last stand for the fedora
plum tree. Senator Elkins car
give all the plums to the Daw'
son followers and take chance,
on insurgent revenge on thu
legislature. But he loves ;
compromise better than a fight

ARE AFTER FEDERAL PIE

Office ard Other Places.
ELklNS is WILLING TO DEAL
But Place Hunters Must First Show
the Boss That They are Not
Feminist Him.

ing sums up the present status
of the fight against Senator
Elkins as follows; Federal pie is
the attraction for the republican
insurgent organization in West
Virginia. This seems reason
ably certain in view of the APP
parent let down in the opposi-
ton to Senator Elkins and the
decreasing clamor against the
new state tax laws. Credit is
being CLAIMED by some of the
insurgents now for two or three
of the new revenuesproducing
measures.
This does not signify that OPP
position 30 Elkins has been
abandoned. 1t is rather in
allegiance. But the postoffices
in the Second congressional
district and the federal appoint
ments to be made late this year
are the things on which the in
surgents are feasting their eyes.
With these places in their poss-
ession they hope to have a good
ly nucleus for an organization
with which they will wage a
campaign for control of the
state three years hence.
Colonel Tom Davis being a
democrat he will not have any
say in the postoffice feature.
The offices are to be filled there's
fore at the recommendation of
Senator Elkins. All are app
pointees of Judge Dayton, sew
eral having been named by him
when he first went to congress
and later reappointed. AS Day.
ton was Charley Teter's main>
stay in his fight for the guber-
natcral nomination, the Dayton
postmasters lined up that way.
THEY MAY BE GOOD.
With the Second district brig
ade of postmasters satisfactory
to them the insurgents may
withdraw and be good. Sem
ator Elkins does not seem to
fear the candidate they might
trot out against him SO much
as the danger of a democratic
legislature, due to the general
dissensions in republican ranks.
The loss of a congressman in the
Second congressional district
presents possibilities of this kind
next year.
But, besides the postoffices, the
insurgents want united States
marshals and their deputies,
district attorneys and their as
sistauts and so on. These APP
pointments are due for Deem
Der next, so that the senator
has to show his hand before his
own case comes up for trial.
If the insurgents can line up a
formidable following the Senae
tor is wise enough to deal with
them in a practical way. He
has given them some encoure
agement by the statement that
there should not be any Dawson
republicans or Teter republicans
and that allegiance to either of
the candidates for governor
should not constitute a bar to
political preferment. He said
that Governor Dawson should
have mercy on those who op-
posed his nomination. But
Governor Dawson goes ahead
appointing those who supported
him, and put the situation up
to the generous senator.
BLIZZARD SEES ELKINS.
