There is much speculation ,as~to
what the Democratsiwill do with, the
Legislature now that they have 1t on
their hands and the best-and onlytway.
to find out, OF course, is to wait and
see, but a pretty clear conception can
" be had Of some things that Will re.
5ceiye attention gfrom an interview
given out by Hon. CIV. Campbell, Of
Huntington. who has just been elect
sedSas a member Of the House OF Dele.
Z gates from Cabell county on the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Campbell be.
ing one Of the ablest lawyers in
& Southern West Virginia, or in the
State for that matter, OF strong con.
S;yictions and with that force of char.
acter which enables him to carry
much weight with his arguments, 1t
is Very plain to see that he will rank
with the leaders in forming legisla.
ton for the State. Measures ia.
yored by him will have strong ad.

read Mr. Campbell's statements there
Is very little to fear at his hands from
a party standpoint, as many of the
/ measures he SO ably advocates are
embodied in the platform of the Re.
publican party OF this State. The
only matter touched upon of material

belI advocates, which is to follow the
constitutional rule and make the dis.
tricts compact and formed Of con.
tiguous territory bounded by county
lines and as equal as possible in pop.

evidence the same fairness that Mr..
Campbell does there should be no

Wandering TACTICS.
Mr., Campbell's views are given In
the following statement given out by
him;
The Democratic party OF West vir.
ginia has a golden opportunity to rem.
der splendid service to the people and
70 the State, Strict economy should
be, observed at the coming session of
the Legislature. Appointees, such as
clerks, doorkeepers, pages and other
employees. should be limited to the
lowest number possible consistent
with the convenient and rapid dis
patch of the business. We should set
nm example In this respect that will
contrast with the sessions of the re.
cent past and which will be looked to
as standard for the future. The
Democrats have criticised our Repub.
lican friends for the appointment of
vast hordes Of employees Of the Legis.
lature and for thus wasting the taxes

May be Pressed to Permit
Use OF Name in 1912
FOR THE NOMINA N
Claim He Has a Grievance Is Denied,
Howeyer-Also Stated That He Is
Not and Never Intends to
Become Candidate.

Washington, Dec. l0.--Charles d.
Hughes, justice Of the United States

nit his name to be used as New Iork's
candidate for president IN 1912 Back
Of this announcement, which is made on
the most positive authority, lies chain
Of interesting political circumstances In
summary, they may be set forth thus
Powerful forces within the Republican
party, believing that President Taft il
nominated could not be elected to sue
coed himself, are DESTROYS of encompass
ing his defeat in the national eouyen
ton.
Other elements wish to defeat him be-
cause they want new men aud new poli-
cies to come to the front in the party

tiers stand, is likely to have the East,
the far West, along with Ohio. This

would be sufficient TO force his nomina.
tion. The question has been, and is,
how is this Taft phalanx to be broken!
There are plenty Of people in New
York who would be willing to help take
the Empire states delegation away from
the president, but they do not want to
risk giving it to Theodore Roosevelt,
Therefore, the proposal has been brought
forward Of making Justice Hughes
candidate for president, Ia order to keep
the states delegation away from either
Taft or Roosevelt.
With this accomplished. it Is calcu-
lated that the Taft strength iii New
England and the South would disinte,
CRATE and it would at length be possible
to carry the contest into the convention,
with a free fight for all the aspirants
and fair chance for everyone.
In that situation, ii is calculated that
there would be at least -four presidential
candidates before the convention They
would be President Taft, Senator IaFol-
lette of Wisconsin. Senator CummiHs
of Iowa and Justice Hughes Of New
York, with the possibility always loom.

Washington, Dec, l9.--At the moment
when SO much idle and Understanding
attention has been devoted TO the manu-
facGured war scare over the condition
81 our Pacific coast defenses there has
been much graver danger OF war Of a
different sort which has attracted com
paTatively little attention The admin

concerned over the possibility Of a wide

suit OF the controversy over potash and

tion Of amending the rules governing

himself strongly in favor Of permanent

making the speech at this time was to
clearly define his position with the hope
that it might benefit him in his con-
test for reelection He addressed him
self particularly to the joint resolution
offered BY Senator Cummius Of Iowa,
but while declaring himself in entire ae-
cord with the ends which the Iowa SEN
ator sought to achieve, Mr.. Lodge dis
sented equally strongly from the plan
Of joint resolution whereby the two
houses would definitely bind themselves
by law to be signed by the president

consequently be cumbersome and diff

stantly limited the right Of amendment

large number Of aviators have been
waiting here for a fortnight to compete
for the prize Of $4,000, offered by Baron
De Forest for tile longest fight across
the English channel IN 1910, the fight
to be made BY an Englishman and in
an English built machine. Grahame-
White yesterday morning assembled for
a trial flight in a strong wind. His ma
chine soon began to rock and he was
unable to restore its equilibrium. It
( turned over and plunged TO the ground,
and was completely wrecked
The aviator fortunately fell little
to one side. It was thought at first he
had suffered conclusion Of the brain, as
he was unconscious, but he soon recov-
cred consciousness and it was found that
he had received nothing more than some
bad cuts about the face. 1t is expected
he will be about again within a week.
He has ordered another biplaue of the
Wright type from Bristol and will make
another attempt to win the prize

remaining for its discussion, doubt has
arisen as TO the possibility Of passing
the appropriation bin before the House
adjourns for the Christmas holidays on
Wednesday. Congressman Macon, a
Democrat from Arkansas, Saturday
played his familiar role of treasury
watchdog, but in ut least one particular
made a distinctly ill-advised stand for
so-called economy Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury Andrew has succeeded
IL arranging d reform which has long
been desired and whereby the sub-treas-
uries at various points in the country
are to be co-ordinated and placed on
identical systems of organization with
party Of officials and salaries. The de-
partment at first called for 20 per
cent increase in the salaries involved If
the reorganization was to be affected,
but, thanks to the insistent demands
for economy made by Mr.. Gillett and
his subcommittee, this increase was re-
duced to a bare $4,000 for all the Off
cials involved, or exactly | per cent.
Of the previous total OF 100000. Yet
in spite Of Mr. Gillett's explanation and
his plea that the reform he authorized
on this basis, Mr. Macon insisted upon
his point Of order. The change was
therefore stricken out of the bill, and
conditions at the subtreasury would re-
vert TO what they have been in the past,
except that the Senate may reasonably
be expected to authorize the change,
with the result that the House will prob
ably acquiesce in the end.
The rules committee Of the House has
decided to give the warning factions
which are urging San Francisco and New
Orleans ais the proper sites for the So
called Panama canal exposition chance
