newed today with the reappearance
OF William Campbell OF Charles Town.
Campbell came yesterday to meet
National Chairman McCombs. and the
latter, in conference with President
Wilson on political matters Sunday,
again, and for the third time, urged
the appointment of Campbell. The lat

" man TO the president and Secretary
Bryan last week for an appointment
IN the diplomatic service. IL was not
inspired by Mr. Campbell. but was
done on Senator Chilton's own motion.
Campbell has no desire for n diplo-
matte position and his friends look
upon Chilton's action as a move to
try TO get him sidet racked, or as a
timely suggestion TO the president out
OF the difficulty. which would leave
him free to appoint Smith. personally
