pathetic ones had, indeed, such an in

COMPANY MAKES CHANGES.
New Schedule for Steamers on Pc
tomac River Route.

The new schedule of the Potomac and
Chesapeake Company steamers to river
landings. which went into effect yester-
day. makes radical changes in the serv-
ice between this city and river points
Under the former schedule the steamer
Capital City left here twice a week for
landings between Dill's wharf and Lower
Machodoc creek. and one trip between
this city and landings as far as Nomini
creek. The steamer Wakefield made
three trips between this city and Colonial
Beach and Mattox creek including land
ings In Port Tobacco and Upper Macho-
doc creeks. The steamer City of Milford
made six trips to landings between this
city and Stump Neck, Nd
The new schedule withdraws the Mil
ford from service, puts the Wakefield on
her route and leaves the remainder of
the river to be covered by the steamer
Capital City. which makes three round
trips each week, practically cutting the
service between this city and Colonial
Beach in half.

Likely to Favor Primary.

The committee is expected to go on
At any rate. the effort will be made to
have the party's preference for United
States senator declared. This will be
done to push on the Goff boom. Not that
the federal jurist needs a boom. but SO
as to give the party the benefit OF his
name. The judge has guardedly said he
will not be candidate. so the move will
be to slap on his name. which act will
estop other ambitious ones. and, with a
state declaration for him the republicans
can say to the voters: "Give US Golf by
electing a republican legislature. "Or"
the burning issue Is Gof or Watson-if
you want Golf. vote the republican tick
cratic ticket"
Judge Golf does not want to be en-
broiled in active politics, and he prob
ably will consent to a partial use of his
name to help President Taft, in return
for the appointment of his son, Guy Golf,
as federal district attorney in Wisconsin,
an appointment made by the President
over the protest of Senator La Toilette.
So far as the senatorship itself is con-
cerned, the judge doubtless has his own
views as to the desperate efforts of the
state leaders at this time, compared to
their ignoring of him when they had
complete control of the situation in West
Virginia. So that if he even gives a
passive consent TO the use of his name.

the caucus was not a voluntary affair.
wherein a majority preferred himself and
Watson for the long and short terms. and
argued at length that he. Chiffon. at the
outset. controlled within a. few votes
enough to elect. which, with those con-
trolled by Watson, made their combina-
ton unbeatable. Also Senator Chiffon
praised the record Of the legislature so
far as the democratic house was able to
proceed with a senate a tie politically.
The senior senator, or rather the long
term senator, gave prominence to the
only personal statement which gave some
force to the stories Of legislative bribery
or manipulation. That was the affidavit
Of Delegate Shock Of Braxton county,
made before Senator Fisher, also a Nc
Graw supporter. In this affidavit Shock
declared that an unknown man gave him
81 900, which he later paid back to two
unknown men when they called on him
at his hotel. Senator Chiffon declared
this tale unbelievable, and instanced that
in the vote to elect the senators following
the caucus Shock voted for Watson and
himself.

Calls It Republican Play.

Senator Chiffon endeavored to demon
strate also that the hullabaloo over the
senatorial conclusion was a republican
play to keep alive democratic differences
and to divert attention from the war
chests used IN the celebrated Scott-Hub-
bard primaries, as we'll as a play to ap-
peal to the Independent voter. who is
supposed to be susceptible to all rumors
concerning the tendency to use Doodle.
Gov. Glasscock. when he read the Chill
ton speech, said he took il as a challenge,
and he promised answer in due time
when the United States Senate would be
furnished with testimony Of more or less
pertinence.
And when Senator Chiffon read what
the governor announced. he announced
that he would repeat his challenge with
few extra trimmings in a speech he
viii make shortly in another part of
southern West Virginia. So that a good
bit OF laundry work pro and con is in
prospect for the natives here and there
before the campaign really begins.
