The Washington herald., 1911-11-05

spring elections The State committee,
which provided for primaries covering
all State officers, deliberately failed to
include the Senatorship. The State now
is represented by two Democrats, and
the progressivcs have regarded West
Virginia as one Of their most promising
fields. Friends OF ex-senator Nathan B.
Scott and of Davis EllSins have opposed
the Senatorial primary, but 1t seems that
public opinion has run high, and the
regular Republicans believe that unless
they yield they will lose the State.
Two Candidates, Says Clark.
Speaker Clark, in his address before
the voters Of Fremont, Nebr., predicted
that there would be two Republican
Presidential candidates in 1912. He gave
II as his opinion that President Taft
would be renominated, and that the in
surgent Republicans would split away
and nominate La Toilette. The Speaker
has ended his stump tour in aid Of Daniel
Stevens, candidate for Congress in the
Third Nebraska district
EarIe's Estimated Majority, 06,3OO.
David A. Lane, chairman Of the Phila-
deIphia Republican city committee, esti-
mates the majority Of Mayoralty Candi-
date Earle over Blankenburg as not less
than $500. in the latest forecast issued
Friday evening, based upon the returns
from the ward leaders. But conservative
Republicans say that Blankenburg will
carry at least seventeen wards, and that
Earle's majority will not exceed $4,000
wall street for Underwood.
A leading banker returning from New
York states he was surprised to find
such a strong sentiment crystaIlizing IA
vorably TO Congressman Underwood for
the Presidential nomination among Wall
street flnanciers. This is what he re-
ports:
II talked about national politics to
a great many conservative and repre-
sentative men in financial circles in
New York. and practically every man
talked to regarded Underwood as the
strongest man in the Democratic ranks.
They don't want Woodrow Wilson at
all; they call him a weather vane; and
more than once heard II said that he
combined the bad qualities OF Roosevelt
and Bryan. Harmon is regarded In New |
York as a strong man, but / didn't hear
as much about him as about Under
wood"
Odds for TammRny on Fusion.
Tammany election money has made its |
appearance at the Broadway hotels and |
in Wall street in large quantities. They !
want ito beat the public to the price,"
as 1t is believed to or even to |
against the Tammany ticket will be OBJ |
tainable on election eve.
No Extra Session I'm Warrington.
1t is regarded as practically certain,
gencer, that Gov. Hay will not call an
extra session Of the State legislature, be-
cause by so doing he would plunge the
state into debt Since last year Wash
Ington has paid of 81, 100000 of bonds, and
can continue to get along without In
curing further Indebtedness until next
spring. when new taxes will come In. The
evies have been reduced, but 1t is point
ed out that the expense Of an extra ses-
sion would force them up again. The
only issue to come before that session
would be the Presidential preference pri-
mary. II a petition OF the majority Of
he voters Of the State is presented to
him, pledging the special session to the
OF that one issue only, the
governor, of course, will have to call II.
