The New York Evening Post publishes
the following
THAT Judson Harmon, governor of
Ohio. would be nominated for President
in 1912 by the Democrats. and would be
elected. was a prophecy made today by
Melville L. Ingalls,, Chairman of the
Big Four Railroad system. and the Dem
ocrat most prominently mentioned to
succeed Senator Dick, of Ohio, in case
that state should go Democratic next
fall.
"The situation in Ohio. he said today.
rs really very simple. There will be a
convention next month but it will be
practically unanimous.
Harmon has made a splendid COVER

people He has more friends today than
whes he took Office. and even the Re

the Republicans are hopelessly disrupted,
aud are still looking for candidate
Harmon will walk into the Cover
norship. | hardly think that very
great fort will be made to elect the
Republican candidate.
Would that mean that Ohio will be
unanimous for him for President in
1922" was asked.
Decidedly. And think that he will
be nominated and elected. The country
wants man like Harmon, man who is
calm and safe, aud who will give our
tired nerves rest.
II know many Republicans-ao tive
members of the party for 40 years-who
are saying that their party ought to be
defeated just as lesson.
They think that it need, spanking

VIRGINIA DEBT SUIT
Case to Come Up Shortly Before the
Supreme Court of the United
States.

New York, Sept. 20.-Virginia has a
little claim of something like $1,000
GOO against West Virginia, or thinks
it has, and the matter comes up be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States next month for final argument.
This explains why big array of le-
gal talent from West Virginia, headed
by the encouragement of the state,
w. c. Conley. and consisting Of ex-
Governor Dawson, Geo. McClntock
and Chas Z. Hogg, dean of the law
school of the West Virginia Univer-
sty, are at the Waldorf Hotel.
They had a consultation with ex-
Senator John C. Spooner, who is spe-
cial counsel for the state The late
Senator John G. Carlisle was also of
counsel.
Virginia is trying to make West
Virg. MIA pay one-third OF the old state
debt before the civil war which
amounts to $33,01O,O00," said Mr.. Con
ley. THE question has been agitated
ever since the close of the war, and
it has been pending in the Supreme
Court since 1906. West Virginia
claims that it owes no part of this
debt, which was made before it be-
came a separate state and when what
is now West Virginia was mostly an
undeveloped region. Virginia repud-
ated part of its debt, and scaled down
the remainder to $1S,GO0,000. Then
Virginia also sued against so-callei
West Virginia certificates without the
authority or consent of West Vir-
ginia.
THE case at is preliminary hear
ing was referred to ex-Congressman
Littlefield, as master. and he com
pleted his report last spring. 1t is a
question whether the Supreme Court
will hear it or not before a whole
bench. 1t is certainly more import
ant than the Standard Oil case, which
IS 70 be reopened. Virginia is suing
as trustee for her own creditors, and
we contend that she has no right to
bring such a suit"

FWaHehL o4te TOR Regular En-
eampment.
Atlantic City, Sept. 20.-This sum
mer resort Internationally surrender
ed to tbs Grand Army of the Republic
yesterday.
The greater part of the day was de-
voted to registering at the hotels and
booths at the Commander-in-C Chiefs
headquarters. Misunderstanding bees, and
meetings OF committees in preparation
for the business which will come up
during the remainder of the week.
The veterans discussed unofficially
the proposition for a permanent camp
site 10 be established in some city geo
graphically near the center of the
country. Advocates of the plan say
that this would make it possible for
nearly every survivor of the Civil War
to attend the encampments because
of the curtailment of railroad fare.
There is considerable grumbling
over what the veterans term unjust
discrimination" with reference to- rail-
road rates. An effort is to be made 10
have resolution adopted asking Fed.
eral regulation of traffic rates 10 all
subsequent encampments.
The railroads will grant rate of
cent a mile for our next national
eneampment or there will be no en-
campment," is the prediction of Ed
ward Watson, commander of U. S.
Grant Post, Chicago. This sentiment
seems to prevail among a majority
of the veterans
ter Service who have made repeated
attempts to become mmbers &C the
Grand Army of the Republic hope to
gain their point during the present en-
campment, according to rumor.
The comander-in-chief and his men
were given u big reception On the
steel pier last night, at which there
were fully 10000 of the boys i'll blue.
OF the many incidents that go TO
make a Grand Army encampment
such a joy and delight to the old sol
diers, there was one that aroused es-
pecial interest and enthusiasm yester-
day. This was when Gen. Grenvlle
M. Dodge, of Sioux City, and General
Sickles, the only two living corps
commanders, met on the ocean pier
One from the East and one from the
West, they clasped hands with grip
that seemed loath to break, while the
big throng gathered around and cheer
ed heartily.
The reunion of the Philadelphia
brigade on the steeplechase pier at
the foot of Pennsylvania avenue and
the meeting of Col. Hilary A. Herbert,
a member of President Cleveland 5
Cabinet and Confederate officer with
Commander-in-Ch Van SAINT and
General Sickles, is sill the talk
among the hundreds of veterans who
saw the meeting.
1t is probable that the proposition
made by Coloneral Herbert o bring
about a great meeting between the
blue and gray will be considered d0r-
ing the week with the object Of car
rying out the suggestion.
