"Gold Dust Twins" Handicap.

Others who are watching the con-
test are OF the opinion that in addi-
tion to the reasons given by Con-
gresham Wood for his optimism,
thore is another one which has its
seat in the Democratic party, which
ought to help the chances Of Candi-
date Hearne. They refer to the Wat
SON. Chiffon domination of the New
Martinsville convention, which NOM
mated their candidate, Neely, over
Bennett and others. The character
of Neely's suppOrt-the Watson
Chiffon machine, with its Big Bust
ness allies = they believe will not
tend to help Neely's chances any;
that it is not likely to be overlooked
by a goodly portion of the rank and
file of the party, who have been well
trained to the belief that the sinister
influences referred 10 should be op-
posed with the voice and the votes
of all Democrats who think more o!
their party than they do selfish, per-
sonal things. The manner in which
Neely's nomination was framed up
was bad enough, these observers dc.
clare, but the way the thing was
carried out was worse, and supplied
the opponents OF tho Twin Bosses
with their corporation auXiliaries,
fresh fuel to feed the fires of their
resentment against politics Of the
Watson-C Chiffon stripe. The Demo
cratic opponents of these bosses arc
not likely, it is reasoned, to over
look this opportunity to attack their
arrogant dictation of the party or
ganization, nor are the friends Of
McGraw, or of John W. Davis, or
any other leader in that section Of
the state if there be any other, who
may be within sound of the buzzing
of the bee senatorial, likely to turn
hand to help strengthen Chiffon.
Quite on the contrary.
The Progressive congressional
committee here is not in position
to render the aid in West Virginia
that it was in the Third Maine. The
reason is that the committee used up
all its ammunition and hasn't any
money for literature, expenses of
speakers, etc. That fact is very
frankly admitted, but as frankly
felt, is a feeling of encouragement
over the Maine result. This, cou-
pied with the stories here that the
colonel would take the Republican
nomination in 1916 il he could get
it, has thrown the plans for the flu
ture of the sparse little band of Ar
mageddonites in the house into hope
less confusion. They have no def
mite plans for West Virginia, al
though willing to do what they can,
which, they say, isn't very much in
their present depleted financial cir
cumstances. So, the local Bulls in
and about Wheeling will, 1t looks
like now, have to run the show
themselves the best they can.
Congressman Doremus, of the
Democratic committee. has already
started his headquarters to work on

Most old people must give'tO thu
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are les;
elastic. And the bowels are muscles
So all old people need Cascaret'
One might as well refuse to aid weaE
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. Tho
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never G
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can:
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be constant
ly used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascaretsc and they cost only

all about that, and is particularly
pleased that MIR. Hearne is young
and aggressive, and knows how to
wage a first rate campaign. 1t is
MIR. Woods opinion that the pros
poets are better for a Republican
victory in the West Virginia district
than they were in the Maine district.
This opinion is based on the pretty
generally accepted fact that the
Progressive party will make a decfd-
eddy poor showing, not near any
think like the 5000 votes it pOlled
in the Maine district. Also, from
what lie knows of conditions there
from his scouts, he figures that the
tariff question will make more di-
rect, personal appeal to the interes;
of practically the entire electorate
of the district. which was not alto
gethcr the case in the Maine contest.
and as a result Of that the Republic
can candidate will come near to get
ting virtually the bulk OF the protec-
tionists, who will see that they have
a chance to get results in rebIking
the Underwood policy by the
election of Mr.. Hearne, hut see
equally as clearly that they would
have no chance of realizing on their
vote whatsoever by giving it to the
third partS's candidate. Chairman
Wood expects to see great upheav-
al in the First and Hearne's election
over all contenders. despite the dou.
ble-barreled opposition.

While II is generally believed that j.
Pierpont Morgan's art treasures now in
the Metropolitan Museum OF Art will re-
main there. II was said yesterday by
person in a position TO know that the
museum authorities were equally at sea
with every one else as to the provisions
of the flnancier's will regarding his art
objects. II was pointed out that Mr.. Nor
gan. even when the new wing to house
his collection was decided on. did not
state his intentions in case Of his death
before the building was completed.
If there is provision made in the will
for the distribution of the art collection
il is certain. it was declared, that the n1u-
scum will still seek to establish the pro-
posed Morgan wing, for which the city
has set aside $4,000. The amount OF art
objects on hand space for which Is not
now available would in any event make
another addition imperative in the imme-
date future.
