vote in the third West Virginia district
where member of congress was elect
ed to succeed Hon. John w. Davis,
democrat. who was recently appointed
solicitor of the United States, has again
focused attention of those interested
in political developments.
In 1912, Mr.. Wilson received 23.212
votes; Mr.. Taft 12,702, while Colonel
Roosevelt received 13,2S7. With a few
precincts still missing, which cannot
change the result materially, the vote
this week gave Mr.. Neely, democrat,
1920; Mr.. Hearne, republican, 1882,
and Mr.. Laughlin. progressive, 1921.
While it IS apparent that the vote
was only about 60 per cent of the nor
NAL vote that is cast in this congress
ional district, the most striking fea-
ture of the election is the very small
progressive vote cast and the appar-
ent return to the republican party of
the rank and file of the progressives

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-If
George Poole, alias Moore and several
other names, had not been susceptible
to feminine beauty, federal officials
here say they would probably not be
getting ready to try him on the charge
that he has superintended practically
all the opium smuggling that mas bee.

coast and across the Canadian and
Mexican borders for some time past.
The authorities do not contend that
Poole did all the actual smuggling but
they maintain that he was the head of
a syndicate with branches in China,
Mexico, Canada and many important
American cities. They add that he
made Il fortune out of the business and
that many of his alleged assistants did
not do badly in it from a financial
standpl int. The authorities expect to
show that the syndicate included
Thomas Murphy, alias Andrews,
Charles Taylor, Chung Chow, (. Chi

tors, all under arrest, and a man |
known as Charles Banton, for whom
they are still looking.

Mexican Situation Getting Worse.--United States

VERA CRUZ, Oct. 23.-Sentries
eral Felix Diaz has stayed since his
arrival here He has been warned that
if he tried to leave that he would be
locked in a cell Immediately.
Diaz today boldly disregarded
President Huerta's order to leave Mex
leo and the situation is threatening. If
he persists in defying Huerta it is be-
lieved another revolution will result
Friends have urged him to obey
Huerta. They are prepared to fight
if Huerta attempted violence, but it is
feared he might act so suddenly that
fighting would not save life. His de-
parture would mean the elimination
of Diaz in the presidential contest.
In his capacity as president and
commander in chief of the army Huerta
has ordered Diaz as general, to go
to Havana aboard the gunboat Zarag
oza In the event he continues his
refusal, it is feared Huerta will have
him arrested and shot for disobedience.

MASf1INGION OCl. Ao.-k kopeCldlJ
According to unconfirmed reports
here, it is understood that Land Com
missioner Tallman, who recently Wis
tied Boise for the purpose of getting
a line on the democratic situation with
relation to the factional differences
that have held up appointments in Ida
no has reported that on one side it
was an impossibility to secure har-
mony while on the other side there was
disposition to divide the patronage
on an equitable basis. He indicated
that the faction represented by Nation
al Committeeman Elder seemed firm
in their demands, while in his opinion
Senator Perky and Governor Hawley
seemed to favor a division of patron
age.
With the situation in this shape it
is reported now that the president will
shortly send to the senate for con-
firmation the names of j. l.. McClear
for United States district attorney, and
Ben r. Gray, Idaho state democratic
chairman, for United States marshal.
The information is not official and may
be subject to change, however, those
close to the administration seem to held
this view.
1t is understood that the Moscow
postmastership is still further away
from settlement than ever but that
President Wilson is waiting for some
special information, which, when re-
ceived will cause him to reach quick
decision. 1t is reported the postmas-
tership may go to dark horse, how
ever, no intimation of the name of that
person has been given out.
