In this state is regarded BY the calm
caculators of political situations as
very accurate.
United States Senator Nathan Bay
Scott took the stump this week. ana
is going right through to the end OF
the campaign delivering speeches In
a majority of the fifty7fIye counties.
Senator Scott is answering his Demo-
cratic critics. There isn't any criti-
cism OF him or his oflcial record
coming from his own party. Scott
is popular with Republicans, as his
Overwhelming victory in the county
primaries with majority aggre
eating forty thousand pretty we'll
proves. The tarin troubles that
other senatorial candidates are hav-
ing in various other states. Scott Is
not bothered with. AS is well
known, and has been frequently
stated In these dispatches. West VIr-I
glnla Is one OF the ..pattest' little1
old protection states in the galaxy.
Her wealth Is manly raw material,
and this is protected, not as much as
1t was by the Dingley bill, nor as
much as her people would like to-
have it, but It Is cared for an right
in the Payne bill. and West Virgin
ians are satisfied. The states manu-
factured products, too, have been
looked after by Scott and ElkIns and
the Ave Republican representative.
and, all in all, the tarfff is the least
of Republican troubles In the Noun
tain State. What troubles the party
has are due to how much that gen
eral wave OF discomfort among the
people that Is suspected to exist ma
tion-wide, has blown upon it, and
due to Jealousy among county fac
tions. Wherever the most serious
troubles are encountered, however, 1t
will be found that the prohibition Is
sue is the cause. wherever that is
sue s involved, 1t is the whole thing,
and nothing else has show or is
heard OF. Party lines are up and
chaos reigns among the voters OF
both parties.
Senator Scott is very active this
even for man
who is candidate to succeed him
self In such high office, and whose
reelection is assured in the event
of his party retaining the legislature
on Joint ballot. This the Republic |
cans are expected to do. The DEM
ocratic leaders privately and conh- |
IDENTITY admit that they haven't al
chance worth considering OF carrying
the legislature. They say, II 1t wereI
not for the fact that the next legis-
Iature has the duty of re-distrlctingl
the state for congressional, judicial
and legislative purposes before 1T.
they might. with the favorable condi-I
tions they think exist throughout the
country, sweep a Democratic legisla-
tive majority into power. But, they
say. that with the re-distrLcting
proposition pending, they DO not
hope to WOO many Republicans away
from supporting Republican legisla-
tive candidates. II the Democrats
could but get a chance to doathe re-
distrIcting, they could Ak 1t SO that I'll
would be ten years, at least, before
the Republican party could regain
