Ex-Governor Whites Attitude.

How It stands with ex-Gov. White is not
known. White was never known to pre-
cfpitate himself out of the road of an Office
and human-like would not refuse a sena~
torial toga If he saw 1t coming But there
is little reason for doubling Re IS unde" real
or implied obligations to Senator Elkins,
who has been considerable of all republicans
in the foreground. The senator may not
have any strings White now, however,
since White is in private life, but White can
hardly keep quiet much longer about the
movement toward him. If he enters a posi-
tive denial or refusal the nti-EliHns seuti-
ment among the state administration fol-
lowers will be jolted hard And, then, pro-
vlding Senator Elxins does not deport him
self the Hepburn bill TO the popular
standard in West Virginia, the democratic
legislative ticket will get votes it never had
counted on.
One senator more or less Is seeming all
the same to a rank and file aroused on
railroad rates. If the White-DawSOn ad-
herents among "the common people keep
up their criticisms of Elhlns, and these
criticisms are growing more caustic, Ell
kins should logically get support from the
old Teter faction, not because they like
him more but because they prefer to see
the Dawson White prestige lowered De

At any rate the popular cordially toward

RATE BILL THE ISSUE
WEST VIRGINIANS WROUGHT
UP OVER HEPBURN MEASURE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
WHEELING, W. Va. March 3l.-The
elections in West Virginia this fall hang
on the fate Of the Hepburn bill. Whether
the bill passes in its present form or is
amended to become capital for additional
campaign consumption presents question
which puzzles the politicians. The rate
question has turned West Virginia politics
topsy-urvy. 1t has displaced state ques-
tons which were to be paramount, and 1t
Las particularly complicated the United
States senatorship.
influential factors of the Dawson admin
istration are clamoring for the passage of
the Hepburn bill as it passed the House,
and they are impatient with the policy of
Senators Elkins and Scott. but Scott is
passed by because he does not figure in
the makeup Of the legislature this year.
When Gov Dawson indirectly criticised
Senator Elkins by going out of the state
to write to Senator Tillman he enlisted in
the opposition to Elkins elements formerly
apethetic on that proposition. Some of
them have silenced their guns since the
governor switched around and announced
his Endorsement of the proposed Elkins
amendments, but the remainder are grow
ing more vOciferors in their anti-Elkins
arguments.
AS a result the name of ex-Gov. A. B.
White Is coming in for senatorial promi
nence again, but this time with more fea-
lures OF strength and stability. There was
a boom for the former governor two years
ago against Senator Scott, but he squelched
that himself. He has not squelched the
renewal, but that may be because he does
not think IL necessary or proper to do so
at this junCture. If he should consent to
become candidate IT would be interesting
10 note the attitude of Gov. Dawson in
that connection. While the bonds between
White and Dawson have been of the closest
linking there are students of the situation
who profess doubts OF help from Dawson
for the reason that Dawson is considered
TO have committed himself to Elkins and
cannot baCkpedal, and because. further
more. he does not want to take chances on
q contest which might result unfavorably
