While Some West Virginia
Congressman Are Absent
from Posts.
MAsHlNGroN D. G. May .

WASHINGTON; D. C.. May 81
With Representatives Hubbard,
Hughes and woodward, all out In
/ their districts looking after their
campaigns, the former for the Sem.
ate, the others in the House. there is
little political gossip OF interest in
West Virginia anoat about the ma
isional capitol.
Senators ;Elkins and Scott are
busy with legislation. Mr.. Sturglss
thas been exceedingly busy as active
head of the committee on arrange
ments for the acceptance Of the
\ Pierpont statue last Saturday. and
6Mr. Gaines has no opposition to re-
denomination in his district and is not
talking politics.
The campaign for most OF the West
Virginia members OF both houses OF
congress whose terms expire this
year, appear at this end of the limo
to be of such nature as to keep all
of them busy. except Gaines. Mr..
Hughes has been for several weeks
IN his district engaged in a hard
fight with A. A. Lilly, who is oppos.
ing him for denomination. Mr..
woodward left Sunday night 10.
West Virginia, expecting to be absent
from Washington for about month;
looking after his campaign. Mr..
Hubbard does not expect to be gone
more than a few days, as he desires
to be present and vote on the pend
ing railroad bill and other matters
which are soon to come up in the
House.
Sttrgiss Remains.
Mr.. Sturgiss is here and may not
so to his district for some time. He
is not letting the grass grow unde.
his feet, however, and is conducting
an active and vigorous campaign
from Washington. with several add.
tional clerks added to his force for
the present.
Senator Scott and Mr.. Hubbard are
having their campaigns conducted
largely from West Virginia head
quarters, although each does more or
less directing from the capitol.
Senator Elkins apparently is pay
ing little attention To the camnaign
but is deyoting his time to the bills
under his charge as chairman or
ranking member of important Senate
committees.
The presence here last week of
many West virginians brought little
political news. Not one OF the Wis
itors seemed to want to discuss poll
ties. and those who were willing to
talk were largely prejudiced in favor
of one or the other candidate and
their views were of little value. One
thing seems to be agreed upon and
that is that the result of the Ohio
county primary will not put either
candidate for the senatorship out of
the race.

That the race track owners have
