so sure as the next legislature Is republican
Elkins will be chosen. But there are West
Virginians who hold to the conviction that
Gov. Dawson has designs on Senator Ell
kins' shoes. and who. by arguing that Daw-
SON 8 henchmen supported Carrigan actively
from first to last. believe they can show
where two and two make four.
Arouses Suspicion.
Dawson's celebrated letter to Senator TILL
man aroused the suspicion that he wanted
to dethrone Elkins. The governor. however.
followed with a statement that he wanted
to serve his own term out. This would carry
ator Scott would be ripe. Nevertheless. the
manifold peculiarities Of the Carrigan-San-
tee mix makes the wiseacres look upon 1t
as an Elkns- Dawson skirmish.
After while 1t will be seen that Elkins
and Dawson have an understanding where
by their individual interests are to be pro-
NOTED in harmony where possible. If the
nominee for the state senate In any district
is for Elkins the senator Is satisfied. To
avoid hard feelings one who Is for Elkins
for reelection and for the governors ad-
ministration policies Ii preferable. But
where 1t IL a case Of a vote in the republic
can caucus the senator Is willing to take the
candidate without further questions.
1t Is notable that tho only apparent DIFF
ferences between them have occurred as to
the nominations for the state senate. the
body which the governor needs control Of in
his business. II Dawson were really a cam
didate for Ellins' seat. 1t Is argued, he
would be equally concerned about the house
OF delegates.

refuses to again become the candidate of
his party for the House Of Representatives
in the second West Virginia district, and
the democrats have trained their batteries

he has consented to make tho race to

The vote he received on the national ticket

good index to the feeling In which he is
held by the people of his state. They could
NOT vote for Roosevelt and also vote for
Davis. and hence Davis suffered the loss Of

and the Roosevelt wave swamped the kind

Without a Davis running on a democratic

ing the republicans will elect their legis-
lative ticket in Randolph county, the home
of both Senator Elkins and Henry G.
Davis. and which was the only county
where the latter ran greatly ahead Of his
ticket in 1904. Under the same conditions

Senator William Campbell. who managed

called the second district congressional

convenient to a supply Of clean water,
and the doors 80 constructed as to en-
able one to control drafts during high
