election an alleged interview was
printed in which Mr.. Williams was
made ~ say that the Hon joe Can
non WAS honest, a fact that is gener
ally conceded, although it il known
at the same time that he is narrow,
arrogant and totally untitled to grace
the position ~ head Of the House.
Some Of the State papers are nm
willing 10 credit him even with that
one redeeming trait, and are indig-
nant that Mr.. Williams should have
given expression to any such senti.
ment.
They might have saved a waste OF
energy in writing those editorial pro-
tests had they devoted half as much
time in finding out whether or not
Mr.. Williams had ever been inter
viewed. In fact, it seems that at
the time the interview took place the
ex-leader of the Democratic forces Of
the House was quietly snoozing, OBJ
Iivious TO the fact that he was being
talked to, as the following from the
Yazoo Herald indicates
"A great deal is being said in the
papers about a reputed interview
with Hon. John Sharp Williams on
the result Of the election and re-elec-
ton of Hon. Joe Cannon as speaker
of the next congress,
"Mr. Williams authorizes the Her
aid to state that he has had no inter
view with anyone anywhere about
the election, or about any feature of
it, and has carefully, everywhere re-
fused TO be interviewed, Mr.. Will
liams says he never saw any sense
in diagnosing a defeat; hal he did
his part and did it fully to secure
success, and after doing his work
left the result TO Providence and the
people He thinks that if the Ripley
Sentinel and other such papers seek
ing grounds Of criticism would first
DO certain that what they are pro-
ceeding upon were based on fact, it
would be better for the party and
everybody else"

writes the Wheeling Inteiligencer as
follows, concerning the work done In

Highland, as ecretary Of the Repub-
lican state committee:
The tip that Virgil Highland may
be the successor of Glasscock as in
ternaI revenue collector has had
some backing since l first mentioned
It and highlands friendship with
both senator's is a matter of record.
When Scott in his usual masterful,
sensible way, took hold of the state
committee work at Clarksburg and
also let go his hold on a bag of
sheckels that helped amazingly in the
campaign, he found Highland, clear
headed, level headed chap, remarka-
bly, well equipped for the unusual
conditions that beset the shortIGlass-
cock campaign Hence; although
Highland belonged to the so-calIed
Swisher-Denham-Ma combina-
ton. he proved himself very useful
in the work that followed the nam
ing OF new nominee for governor.
Highland joined with Senator Scott
in recognizing things at the CIarks-
burg headquarters and Scott has
since gone out of his way to compli-
ment the young ffnancfer- a COM
pliment publicly expressed is not al
ways an endorsement for a political
appointment. but there was unusual
significance in the Scott remark made
just before he packed up for Hot
Springs.

Work with the Commission.

The Country Lie Commission has
a worthy object. 1t is not to inves-
tigate the farmers and others who
live in the open country but is to
arouse them to action in order that
they may present their needs to the
federal government and especially in
order that such needs may be pre-
sented to congress. President Roose-
welt in letter to the commission
made some wholesome suggestions
and they are to be carried out. The
success of the movement. however,
depends largely upon yae country
people themselves in taking the pre-
liminary steps.
December has been fixed as the
date for the gathering of farmers,
merchants. teachers. ministers, doc
tors and all others in the country at
school houses or other chosen places
for discussions. resolutions and such
other action as Is deemed best. The
results of these gatherings will be
before the commission and finally
recommendations will be submitted
to congress.
