The Baltimor Sun interviewed men,
bers of the Democratic National Commit
tee in that city recently and found much
Wilson sentiment. Col. John r. Mct5raw,
of this State, declared that West Virginia
was for the nomination of Wilson.
Personally l am for Governor Wilson. y
he said. ''for believe his nomination
assures a Democratic President. If
recent elections held in both Democratic
and RepublicanStates indicate anything.
it is that the people are demanding
progressive, constructive government
and fearless men who will administer
such government.
THE growth of socialism proves that
the voters are restless and they have
turned to that party because they did not
trust either of the old parties. Socialism
cannot exist in representative demcc.
racy like ours. If either party is wise
enough to nominate progressive man
who stands for those things in which the
great mass of the people believe, the
voters will turn to that party.
II believe the Democratic party is so
constituted that it can check the DRIFT
toward Socialism better than can the
Republican party. We only can do it
however, by putting forward progressive
candidate and constructive platform.
Governor Wilson stands just for those
things

We are in receipt of copy of an able
speech by Senator w. E. Chiffon in de-
tense of his vote against the bill provid-
Ing tor the creation of Chidren's Bureau.
The Senator gives as the grou nd for his
opposition to the bill that it is an en-.
croachment on States rights, that the
bureau would be unn ecessary as all the
information it might gather is already
gathered by the department of commerce
and labor and would be an unnecessary
expenditure of money.
