Of the Coming Campaign if
State and May Not Be
a Candidate.

WASHINGTON, D, c., Jan. IS
United States Senator Clarence w.
Watson today made public a copy
of letter he sent yesterday to w
G. Bennett, OF Weston, w. Va,
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee of West Virginia, sug-
costing that the nomination of a
Democratic candidate for the United
States senatorship be made at a pri-
mary election to held after the leg
islature has been elected, in case
there should be Democratic ma
jority in that body on joint ballot.
Senator Watson says in the letter
that contest among senatorial can
didates in the matter of nominating
candidates for the legislature is de-
moralizing and calculated to weaken
the party; that 1t is important to
have Democratic legislature; and
that the senatorial contest should
not be permitted to weaken the, cause
of the party.
Mr.. Watson urged that the state
campaign be fought out "unham-
pered by the personal ambition Of
anyone" and that the party be given
the opportunity to select It's candi-
date for senator after a Democratic
legislature has been assured.
Mr.. Watson says in his letter:
'Tf l become a candidate, I could
not desire to succeed, unless my
candidacy meets with the approval
of the Democrats of the state"
