TOM JoHNsoN's ALLY
Democrats Nominated Baker For
Mayer of Cleveland.

The nomination OF Newton d. Baker.
as the democratic candidate for Mayor
Of Cleveland by vote OF more than
four to one undoubtedly indicates tina
fold which the policies OF the late
Tom l.. Johnson still have upon the
citizens of the 3-celt fare mun'cipalf~
ty. Mr.. Baker went to Cleveland frons
this city In 1899 and was soon Mayor
Johnsons closest coniidant. Like his
chief, he preached single tax. homo
rule. free trade and death to special
interests. HIS admiration for John
son was boundless. Upon one occn-
sion, after stirring speech by tho.
Mayor 10 the City Council Baker ex-
claimed: There must be a special

Baker. The latter. however, differs

SEAT OF POLITICS OF
WEST VIRGINIA is CLOSED
Up for the Present as the Bosses are
Absent From Washington
Capital Deserted.

Washington, Sept. 23.-The national
capital has been practically deserted
by West Virginians since Congress ad-
journed. Congressman Brown and
Adam Littlepage have each been here
fc, a day or two since the adjourn
ment, looking after matters which
were of interest to them or to their
constituents, but aside from these
brief visits there has not been mem
her of the West Virginia delegation
in Washington since the end Of the
extra session.
And with the departure OF the sena-
tors and congressman from the capt.
tai, the visitors from the state cease
to arrive. Occasionally some one
looks in for few days on his way to
or from an eastern city, but practi-
cally Washington has been deserted
by West Virginians for more than a
month. And the same condition will
probably prevail for some two months
more. The regular session of Con.
gress will convene the first Monday
in December, which will come this
year on the fourth. Possibly some OF
the delegation will arrive week or
so ahead of that date to get matters
in shape for the winters work, but
practically there will be no one here
from the state till the recovering OF
Congress the first Monday in Deem
Der.

CALL IS EXTENDED TO
REV. JOHN S. DOUGLAS
Huntington vestry Anxious to Get
Local Pastor for Their Charge
Other Calls Considered.

The Huntington Advertiser pub
iisnes the following article which will
be of special interest to the people Of
this city:
Rev. John S. Douglas, rector Of the
Protestant Ep scopal church of Mar
tinsburg. Berkeley county, has been
called by the vestry of Trinity Epis-
copal church of this city to the rec
torate here. Mr.. Douglas. who has
been remarkably successful in his work
in Martinsburg is now considering the
Huntington call and several others be-
sides.
He is man about forty years old
and is one of the most prominent
clergy in the diocese. He has been
spoken of for the Office of Bishop CO.
adjutor of the diocese of Virginia.
A letter has been received here
from Bishop Peterkin in which that
prelate says that he believes and hopes
that Mr. Douglas may come to Hun
tington. The Bishop also expresses
the belief that Mr.. Douglas may come
to Huntington in the near future in
order to become better acquainted
with his prospective charge.
The rectorate of Trinity Episcopal
church is now vacant. the resignation
OF DR.. John Shackleford Gibson having
become effective on September l."
When asked concerning the above
bv representative of the Evening
World this morning Rev. Douglas said
he had nothing to say. He neither
confirmed or denied the report. How
ever he left later on No. IS for the
west and 1t is presumed that his visit
has something to do with the call that
has been extended him from Hunting
ton.
Rev. Douglas has been the rector OF
Trinity church here for several years
emo is held in high regard by the men,
beers of his parish and en- several oc-
casions when he has received calls
from other rectorates he has acceded
to the desire of the vestry CT Trinity
church to remain as their rector.
While nothing definite is known of
the action which Rev. Douglas will
take in the matter it is believed that
considerable Influence will have to be
brought to induce him to sever his
relation with the local church
