Roosevelt Unable to Help.

Col. Roosevelt was impOrtuned to make
stop in West Virginia on his recent
trip to the south, but he was unable to do
so. Representative Sturgiss wrote him
declaring that the former Presidents
visit would help him. and was told that
it was impossible. but that he sent his
best wishes for his success. etc. Divers
committee chairmen wrote similar ap-
peals i'm vain. so 1t is now agreed that
West Virginia will not hear direct from
Roosevelt this year.
In the meantime the imported speak
erS will be of the stand-pat type which
is another way of saying they are not
congenial to Dawson and his cOadjutors,
who want to take advantage Of the pro
gressive sentiment, something which is
not very conspicuous in West Virginia
