INTERVENTION IN CUBA.

In sending an uhimatnm to Cuba.
President Taft has done nothing more
than serve diplomatic notice upon the
government at Havana that it must
suppress the disturbed political condi.
tions existing in the island or submit
to occupation for a second time. The
notice TO Cuba Is not so much OF a
threat as it is reminder that the
United States, in the exercise of its
protectorate, will not countenance
party rows ending in revolution.
1t appears that the activity OF the
veterans of the Cuban war in politi-
cal way has reached point where
the authority of the governing power
is set at nanght; where riots have re
suited and revolution Is imminent.
Therefore, President Taft, in touch
with the situation through the consul
lar service, has plainly told President
Gomez and his advisers that they
must suppress the imcipient trouble or
the work will be done by higher
power.
Possibly the cry of Imperialism may
be raised again at this latest act Of
the President, and 1t may be that
political opponents will make the oc-
casion one to uncork old eloquence
about the invasion OF the rights of a
free people. But, having had one ex-
perience in Cuba and knowing the
mercurial temper of the Cuban people
and the proneness of irresponsibles
there to unleash the carbine and the
machete at small provocation, the
President is right in lipping incipient
revolution in the bud and not waiting
until it has outgrown the power of
the Havana authorities to suppress
disorder.
President Taft has acted promptly
and somewhat drastically, but wisely,
IL the facts regarding political distur-
Dances in Cuba are such as dispatches
describe them.-Washingto Herald.

GOVERNOR cLAsscock
HooMs ROOSEVELT
Deserts Taft-Member of Machine
Thinks President is Loser
Motive Purely Selfish.

Charleston, w. Va, Jaa. 1s.-Gov-
crnor William Z. Glasscock, a member
Ct the old Elkins republican machine,
trailed the Taft flag In the dust to-
day, and declared publicly for the
nomination Of Theodore Roosevelt for
president In this ne is supported by
officeholders, candidates and others
of the state organization.
Glasscock's reason for deserving
Taft is plain He realizes Mr.. Tafts
slim chances for election if he is re
nominated. The governor is not a
progressive. He is out for Roosevelt
because he thinks Roosevelt can win.
His reasons are the same as those of
O. ganization men in other states, who
are now opposed to Taft.
West Virginia sends sixteen dele
gates to the national convention. They
will be chosen in state convention
May 16, and Glasscock will be the
nominal leader of the anti-Taft fight
until then.
1t is asserted that state office hol-
ders are a unit in expressing a SEN
timent for the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt. This includes State Audi
tor John S. Darst. Secretary of State
Stuart F. Reed. State Superintendent
M. P. Shawkey, State Treasurer E. L.
Long, who are candidates for renomi-
nation, and Attorney General William
G. Conley, who is candidate for con
gress in the old William L. Wilson dis
trict
In his statement today, Glasscock
says:
II believe it is generally understood
THAT have very kindly feeling for
President Taft, but careful canvass
of the situation has thoroughly con-
vmced me that an overwhelming ma
| scrity OF the republicans of West ViT-
ginia are for Roosevelt. / have been
| more or less of student of politics
and political conditions for years, and
I have never seen people unite on
enc man with such practical unani-
nifty as they are now united ON Roose-
welt.
IT am certain Roosevelt will not
seek the nomination or work for it in
any way. directly or indirectly, and l
believe he would not accept it If it
came to him as the result of intrigue
| for his personal benefit. But if it
comes to him as the result of genuine
popular movement, because the peo-
| PIE want him to do job for the peo-
pie as a whole, because the people as
whole believe he is the best man to
do that job then q am sure he will
accept, He could not do otherwise
and be the patriot that we all believe
him to be.
"He can carry West Virginia by
more than 10000 majority. l have
heard prominent democrats say that it
made no difference whom the demo
Gratis nominated if Roosevelt were the
republican nominee, because no demo
crat could beat the colonel. I think
| that feeling is prevalent in the minds
of the most astute democrats of the
country.
IF majority of the republicans of
West Virginia favor the nomination
of Colonel Roosevelt, and I have no
doubt large majority do, they should
see to it that delegates are sent to
The Chicago convention who will faith
fully represent the people"

.M'GRAW HAS STATE
PRIMARY PLAN
Would Vote on Senator at General
EIections--opposes Watson Idea
of a Senatorial Primary.

Grafton, w. Va, January 20.-In an
Interview Hon. John #. McGraw
came out as opposed to the United
States senatorial primary plan Of
Senator Watson, calling for primary
after the election. Instead he sub
mitted a plan for primary before the
election or on election day. Mr.. Nc
Graw said:
I have read your Senator Watso7's
letter with respect to a primary cleo
ton for the nomination of a candidate
for United States senator, after the
general election. 1t is, in effect, the

Johnson, of Monroe, one of the ablest

tive officers, because In the end, If the
plan suggested be adopted, it will be
the source Of dissatisfaction and party
discord, 1t occurs to me, for the fol.
| lowing reasons:
First. 1t will necessitate a new
election, with all costs, irritation and
annoyance incident thereto, after the
people Of the state have just gone
through an exciting presidential and
state election.
Second. 1t will be difficult, so soon
after the presidential election, to get
the people to the polls in su d a post.

| Third. The amount of money which
each candidate for United States sen.
ator, under the late act of congress
and our corrupt practices act, is au-
tborized to expend would not be suf
ftcient to defray the actual, ordinary
and legitimate expenses which a can

democratic electors
Fourth. If the votes polled did not

ably large plurality, the members OF
1 the legislature would not be bound to
accept the result, because It would
not represent fair expression of the

preceding election.
If the democratic party thinks 1t I'M
wise to hold such election earlier than
the general election, l suggest a pri
mary election for senator conducted

mittee, on the day of the general cleo.
ton. to be held under such rules and
regulations as may he prescribed by

This plan would cause the candi.

vote, and practically elect a senator
at the same time a governor and
other state officers are chosen.
