Hope Built Up on Split in the
Republican Party.
Disappears.
BENEFITS DEFEAT is SURE
Discouraged and Disappointed
at Democratic State
Headquarters.

PARKERsBURG, Sept. 25-The
News that a divided Republican par
~ had gotten together and would go
into the campaign with one state
ticket, and that ticket headed by A
man OF irreproachable private char
lacter. and of high political integri-
" and fairness characteriziag his
public life, was not received at DEM
ocratic state headquarters in the big
Union Trust building in this city with
any marked degree of enthusiasm.
On the contrary, 1t was a very great
disappointment to Chairman Neal,
Secretary Kenney and the other big
leaders who are running the CAM
paign from here. They make no at
tempt to conceal their true feelings
about the matter.
Said one of them, who Is active
in the management of the Bennett
campaign: I'VE had not only hoped
strongly, but had every reason to be-
lieve, that the two factions could hot
agree. and that the campaign would
go to the finish with a split-up-the-
middle party with two separate and
distinct tickets. We believed that the
Lincoln party had gone too far to
quit and be good, but our calculations
seem TO have gone awry. 1t only goes
to prove the oft repeated statement
of fact. which is Npw automatic in its
verify, that Republicans may fight
among themselves before the CAM
paign, or up to the very beginning OF
one, and then get together on COM
mon ground as harmoniously as it
nothing had occurred TO make DIFF
ference among them ruffied their
,tempers."
What do you think OF the COM
promise candidate. Mr.. w. q. Glass
cock?" was asked.
"of the names most prominently
suggested, 1 think Mr.. Glasscock was
by far the most available man for
the Republican party under the cir
cumstances. His private life Is with
out a blemish, and he stands high as
politician who Is emlnently fair
and who possesses a high sense OF
honor. While the scherr faction crit
icised his intimacy with senator El-
kins in political and business way.
they did not offer a single other OBJ
lection to his candidacy"
What do you think of your par
tvs prospects now?"
"They are, of course, very material
ly lessened. I think that we win BEN
eft to some extent by the Republican
dissensions which split the party but
fear that we will not benefit to the
extent necessary for US to elect Mr..
Bennett. Even with the two tickets
in the field I never felt that we had
much OF an assurance OF electing any
of our state ticket except Bennett,
and now l fear that the nomination
of Galsscox has put that without the
pale OF probability"
This interview very acurutely re-
fleets the sentiments of other Benz
nett campaign managers here, ex-
pressed in private and confidential
way to friends.

State Auditor and Former Can
didate Defines His
Position.
LOYAL TO W. E. GLAsscoCK
And the Remainder Of the State
Ticket and Offers His
Services.

CHARLESTON, Sep. 25-The Lin
coin party committee held its last
meeting yesterday morning for the
purpose of formulating and issuing
an address to the public. However,
this idea was abandoned for the time
being, 1t was announced, and 1t is be-
lieyed generally will not be revived;
since there is more conservative
sentiment prevailing among those
prominent in that movement since the
harmony program was put through.
In fact, the sentiment among them
now is to do nothing to retard the
rapid harmonization OF the party.
Arnold c. scherr in an interview
published yesterday said that his
written resignation had been deliver
ed to the committee with the under
standing that it would be published,
but that that had not been done. He
said that he regretted this. He said
that in his resignation he placed the
blame for party conditions on no in
dividual. Mr.. Scherr concluded the
interview by saying that he wanted it
announced that he would give w. E.
GlaSscock and the entire state ticket
his anqualifiedly cordial support and
would take an active part in bringing
about the success IF Mr.. Glasscock
and the entire ticket at the polls in
November next.
