Senator Watson has again undertaken
to place a tax of 800 each on i'm.
migrants coming to this country from
abroad. He attempted to do SO in the
closing days of the last Congress, but i,
was too late to have the matter considered
then. He has now introduced an
amendment to pending bill providing
for the tax of $Ioo on each immigrant
and will endeavor to have it adopted by
the Senate.

The present Democratic State Com-
mittee, it strikes US, will have no more
to do with ordering Senatorial Pri
mary than the Jefferson County
Executive Committee. This is a new
question to be determined, and the Dem
cratic State Convention, composed of
delegates fresh from the people. which
will choose new executive committee.
will likely act upon the matter, and
may direct its creature the State Com
mittee to carry out any provisions that
it may see proper to adopt. The present
committee, assuredly, will not be per-
mtted to usurp any power in the mean
time.

Chairman Martin on woodrowwIlson

Hon. Frederick T. Martin. Chairman
OF the Democratic Congressional Con !
nittee for the Second West Virginia
District. was recently interviewed. aud
in response to query IS TO whether ha'
beiieved that The West Virginia Democ-
racy favored the nominationof Woodrow
Wilson as the Democratic candidate for
President. was emphatic in declaring
that he did. Mr.. Martin said:
From my association and talk with
Democrats all over the State, I am
convinced that at least ninety per cent
of them are unreservedly for Governor
Wilson. In my opinion. If we should
have an opportunity to express our
preferences upon this subject, at least
three fourths of the voters would de-
clare for him as first choice"
''Do you believe that the West Vir-
ginia Democracy could unite on Cover
nor Wilson p
Those of US who followed Bryan and
who supported Parker stand ready to
support any good man who is not re-
dictionary. We will insist only that the
candidate shall be a real Democrat, ad-
vocating the principles in which we
believe and tn which we have always
adhered. Another stripe of man would
leave US simply careless about the mat
ter. The people are not satisfied with
existing conditions and demand a
change. The change to be satisfactory
must be radical and must mean some
thing more than change in postmas-
tiers. Less than this will be unsatisfac-
tory and disappointing. The people
want man who is progressive. and no
candidate can be too progressive to
suit. Personally. my own choice for
the nomination would have been Clark,
but the general sentiment seems to be
crystallizing around Wilson, and since
he is safe, sane and progressive all of
Us who believe in the old time princi-
Piles of the party may as well get up
and ride.
"We cannot win with a candidate
whose election would mean nothing,
and with victory apparently in sight, it
would be a great misfortune to have
foisted upon Us a candidate whom we
cannot support. Those who are high in
party councils must remember that
party ties are weak; that the people
want relief from oppressive burdens,
and that no man can get the votes of
the thinking masses simply because his
name happens to be printed upon the
party ticket They must either give
the people what they want or expect
them to go elsewhere in search of it. +"

Hon. j I'm }. Davis for Delegate-at-
Large,

Large.
Clarksburg Jan. 27.-The leading
Democrats of this section are urging
Hon. John j. Davis, of this city, to be.
come candidate for delegate-at-large
to the Democratic National Convention
to be held at Baltimore beginning June
25th of the present year.
While Mr.. Davis has not as vet an
nounced it as his intention to become a
candidate for the honor. and may not
become an active candidate for the
place, yet it is pretty well understood
that his friends and admirers in this
section of the state will urge his claims
whether he is candidate or not.
Mr.. Davis has been an active and eff.
fective worker in the ranks of the
Democratic. party for more than fifty
years, and still takes an active part
and interest in the affairs of his party
in this section of the state. He twice
represented the First Congressional dis
trict in Congress and was three times
sent by the Democrats of his district
to the national conventions of his party,
namely, 1868, 1876 and 1882, and on each
occasion was assigned to important
committees. His distinguished son,
Hon. John w. Davis, is the present
representative from the First district
in Congress.
Mr.. Davis is a progressive Democrat
and is readily conceded to be the best
informed man in this section of the
state on political issues and govern
mene questions. Should he be sent to
the national convention he would sup
port Governor Wilson if the state con-
vention should not instruct otherwise.
While no concerted movement has
been as yet launched in favor of Mr..
Davis for delegate-at large it is said
that movement in that direction will
be started within the next few DAYS by
his friends in this section.

An Addison County View

There is a growing belief that the
next state ticket will be Fletcher and
Barnes. OF course there is some time
before the convention, but there ap-
pears to be but one candidate who is
making Roadway in the canvass for
the nomination for the goyernorship
and the Gentleman from Cavendish'
has such a lead that ii is doubtful If
any candidate can hope to defeat him
The friends of Judge Barnes have
every reason to feel more confident
of success than ever, as under the
present condition or affairs his chan
ces for success are greatly improved.
There will not be much opportunity
for cunning politicians to frame com
binations and defeat the candidate
who is the real choice of the conven.
ton. 1t is admitted In all parts of
the state that Judge Barnes is ex-
ceedingly well qualified for the posi-
ton and is the equal If not superior
to the other candidates named in
many respects All things being equal
then, the nomination OF the Addison
county candidate should be easily ac
complished, but too much confidence
is often dangerous, and Addison coun
| ty must be alert to every opportunity
to promote the interests of its favor

law to their Jurisdiction and power.
