smiling, William G. Brown, member OF
the House OF Representatives from the
Second West Virginia district. is one
Of the most sought after men n Balti-
more. 1t is all because his district is
close to Maryland and his constituents
have swooped down ON him In great
numbers.
Congressman Brown is known for his
generosity and his constituents are
taking advantage of this II has spent
at least $500 for admission tickets to
the convention, which he has present
ed to friends
For the first batch of rs he paid
1926. 1t is understood that at the start
he paid as high as $25 for one ticket.
Nothing seems any trouble to Mr..
Brown. He goes almost to the limit to
please and ultimate reward for favor

There are about 1900 West Virgin
lans in Baltimore and they are an en-
thusiastic bunch. There is thet. -. s
thusiastic bunch. Theirs is the only
headquarters graced by Brayan ban

West ViiranigsnbySrtS II ssaid
West Virginians and there were no
counter demonstrations.
The West Virginia arrivals have
been turning in their names at head
quarters and thus the number almost
to man is known.
Col. John r. McGraw is greatly
sought. He, too, is besieged by friends
seeking the coveted pasteboards. He
has been doing all in his power TO
please, but in one instance his pa
tiance was abused. He had complied
with a request for two tickets. This
was not satisfactory and the favored
one demanded two more for his cous
ms. Give me those tickets back,
said Colonel McGraw. ''You get
none"
Colonel McGraw was in high fettle
yesterday afternoon. He is one of the
original Wilson men of West Virginia
and his instructions for Clark have not
dampened his ardor for the New Jer
sey man. Col. McGraw said "KeeI
your eye on it. It's Wilson and Under
