A paper was circulated today
among the business men along Queen

TAFT SUGGESTED
AS PACIF|CAT0R
Republican Mess May be Put upt0
National Candidate
TALK OF NAMING THIRD MAN
Conference May BE Held at Hot
Springs or in Washington to nIs-
cuss Situation in This state.

Washington. July 13.--NaturaIly POI
litical Washington was much inter-
ested in the West Virginia state CON
ventions- The talk was immediate
that the great pacificator. Taft, would
have to take a hand in the controver-
sy, and that he would probably sug
gest "a third convention and a com
promise nominee for governor. Those
who have watched the course Of Con
gresham Hubbard during his single
session Ia the house do not wonder
at his courage in taking up the fight
against the West Virginia riIgsters,
and the few congressionaa visitors In
town applarded the courage Of man
who, when a candidate. makes fight
for the right regardless of the pos
sible effect on his own political fu-
ture. At this end we can see in the
results at Charleston the fruits of
many conferences held in Washington
during the past year. There has, been
a big stick campaign for months to
bring Scott and others in line for the
foes OF ScheT. The putting up OF a
candidate to defeat Hubbard for a
second term was planned here in
Washington, and 1t was the result of
a fear that lie might figure promi-
nently in congress and later become
state leader. This far away from
the conflict the talk has been that
the hope OF the party might be in the
nomination of new man acceptable
to both sides and the names of Stur-
gisS and Dillon have been mentioned.
Once Taft and the national committee
takes cognizance Of the matter we
may have long conference at Hot
Springs or in Washington with IA view
towards a GREETING together, and it Is
intirnated that arbitration will be the
remedy. The friends OF Scott fear that
the trouble at Charleston will pre-
vent his reappointment is member
of the executive committee. but it is
argued that the fact OF trouble in his
state makes all the more desirable his
membership on the national body.

kins reached New York last night,
and evidently wired Senator Scott to
hurry from Maine for a conference on
the West Virginia complication
Scott had planned good vacation In
Maine, but word comes here that he
has joined Elkins in News York.
Both senator's may confer with Ma
tional Chairtnan Hitchcock, who also
reached New York yesterday, and
Secretary Dover, who Is due here to-
day. The tip Is that the national COM
mitsee may take o. hand In forcing
some sort of harmony in West Vir-
ginta, the more because Scott is q
member OF the committee. and also
because the states seven electoral
votes may be worth while.

1t was the will of the majority OF the

it is believed, settles the question OF
whether there will be two republican

one headed by C. w. Swisher, and
the other by Scherr for Swisher has
already announced his determination
of carrying the fight to the polls
.tThe fact that Thomas c. Miller.
nominated for superintendent OF tree

withdrew, does not weaken our fight
in the least, he declared.

trying to effect compromise by ask
ing both the nominees for governor
to Withdraw in favor of some man
suitable to both factions of the party
MIR. Scherr declared that bridge

II deplore more than can say" de-
clared Mr.. Scherr "the unfortunate
differences that have arisen within
the party, but the action OF the
state committee was not only
unjust and unfair but revolutionary.

movement are tried and true repub-
