WHEELING, w. Va,
November %. 1911.
1t is said that the meeting of the re-
publican state committee held several
days ago at Parkersburg is the last that
will be held by that body, and that the
next meeting of the committee as such
will be the one at Tended by the new MEM
bers elected at the primaries in June,
1912, and it will be for the purpose of or
ganizing for the fall campaign.
If this be the case it can easily be
understood why the members who formal
ly resigned and stepped out at Parkers-
burg did so without apparent concern.
Possibly the committee might be called
in the event of some unlocked for con-
tingency, but on the authority of the re-
signed members there will be nothing
doing by the present committee. The de-
tails for the state primary agreed on
have been mapped out, and ASIDE from
some correspondence between the new
state chairman, V, l.. Highland, and
the county chairmen in reference % the

to be an issue in republican gabfests.
The reorganization of the committee by
which the federal and state office hold

the clamor worked up by lnsurgent edi-

Taft, has not been satisfactory to the in

WASHINGTON April s.--(special Tele-

figure in Washington this week has been

been advising with the democratic leaders
in both branches OF congress. and Is cred
tied with having taken an active "art in
the unsuccessful effort to prevent the
selection OF Senator Martin Of Virginia as
minority leader in the upper branch.
That Mr.. Bryan's presence and activity
is distasteful to some of the more con-
servative democratic leade is evidenced
by a bitter interview with Senator Bailey
Of Texas. printed toC1y Mr.. Bailey said:
Mr. Bryan now absolutely dominates the
house Of representatives,. He deliberately
came to Washington to organize the rad
icals and make war on everybody else.
He had no business here except to make
trouble, and trying to drive his party
away from its sound ana historic position.
These men pretend they are fighting me
personally, but they are not so much op-
posed TO me as they are opposed to my
views and the views OF those who stand
with me in the senate.
Harmony Prior to Bryan'H Advent.
Before Bryan came down here there
was no trouble among the democrats in
the senate. They were harmonious and
acting together. There was no hint Of dis
sension. Mr.. Bryan came on the ground
went about among the new members and
stirred up not merely a protest, but a
riot.

Winston Churchill
Puts Story at Rest
Secures Damages Against Spencer,
Who Charges that During BOer
War He Broke His Parole.

LONDON, April ESPECIAL Cablegram)
For several years Winston Churchill, the
home secretary, has been annoyed by a
persistent story that while he was a Boer
prisoner during the war in South Africa
he broke his parole and escaped. Today
he took measures to prevent any further
circulation OF the story, by bringing suit
for slander against one Spencer, a political
speaker, who, during the recent election
repeated the calumny.
Mr.. Churchilrs counsel declared to the
court that there was not the slightest
foundation for the story. Mr. Churchill
had hitherto ignored II, but its repetition
for political purposes during the last two
elections had forced him TO demand dam
ages as the most effective means OF Kill
ing the story.
The case ended by Spencer apologizing.
