The Doves prediction is for gen.
eral coming back to the Republican
faith in all the city districts and he
looks for Republican Congressman from
Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, a
total of siX-with hope even of disturb
ing the serenity Of Gen. Sherwood, the
fine old Democrat up Toledo way, who
has had an easy time Of it for several
terms.
Increased His Estimate.
Once the Hon. Beman began going over
the districts one by one he was willing
to increase his original estimate and ac-
cord the Democrats less than ten in the
next delegation as against nineteen now
doing business in Washington.
A citizen Of Kentucky and a Democrat,
who stopped over a day in Washington
en- route TO Gotham, was moved to re-
mark after arrival that he noticed a con-
siderable number of Kentucky Democratic
leaders in frequent conference with the
new Senator johnson n. Camden. 1t oc-
CURED to the observing one that the new
Senator, blessed with youth, affiuence
and cheerful demeanor, is going to iig-
ure in Kentucky politics long after his
short term ends. He will be loyal enough
to the appointing power and aid in every
honorable way the ambition OF Gov. Nc.
Creary to win one more term in the Sem
ate, but Gov. McCreary is past the three
score-and-ten mark, and Senator Camden
several years under fifty. The new Sena-
tor can quietly build up his organization
during his eight months in the Senate
rewarding many, Furnishing none and
placing more under obligations for favors
received.
VIII watchfuIIy Wait.
There will follow a period OF watchful
waiting no matter who wins the full
term in November, and Camden will be
ready either for a vacancy or for a cam
paign at the end of six years. He will
then be much younger than his father
when the West Virginia statesman came
in for either first or second terms, and
the Kentucky contingent both in Wash
ington and at home is expecting the
name of Camden to figure prominently
for many years to come. The personal
popularity Of the man will have much to
do with his grip on the party organiza-
ton and the business-like way in which
he began operations in Washington has
been remarked about with commendation
here in New York. where he has long
been associated with big business affairs.

Republican party, and possibly with the
ambition TO some day be Senator. He is
young enough TO continue that ambition
and achieve il when Illinois gets right
again in spite of ]. Ham Lewis and his
artful methods. But during all these
years Of the Charles G. Dawes activity
in piling up kopecks out Chicago way, the
name of Dawes was not forgotten in
WASHINGTON Beman G. Dawes, a brother
high up as a business man, decided to do
even better in the political game than
brother Charles, Dy winning an election
to high office rather than by acceptance
of an appointment.
In Fathers Footsteps.
Beman had remained in the old town
of Marietta, on the Ohio River, the Oldest
town in Ohio, and his father had been a
general in the war, a member Of Con-
gress for a single term. and long power
full in State political affairs.
So Beman decided to follow in the foot
steps of his father and go to Congress.
He won two elections in a close district,
coming in with the whirlwind of 1901
easily enough, but had some hard fighting
In 1906, when the whirl was not quite
so favorable to Republicans. After two
terms the Beman Dawes inclination was
towards business and he organized
great natural gas company with head
quarters at Columbus, but was careful
to retain his voting residence in Marietta
His coming to the Waldorf this week
recalls the political activity and power of
himself and brother Charles in two
States ,and at Washington with some
speculation as to possible future opera
tions of both Beman and Charles in the
campaigns of this year and 1916. Both
futures by their own efforts. They can
both admit that their political experience
has had much to do in building up their
futures, and both will answer yea and
then some to that old question Does
politics pay?"
Valuable to Both.
The prominence and acquaintance
gained while in Washington has been
valuable to both Beman and Charles G.
so that neither regrets the connection
with the government payroll. Beman has
no predictions to make about his old
Congressional district which went wrong
in 1910 and elected an amiable Democrat,
the Hon. George White doing 1t again.
two years later. 1t happens that Doves
and White are personally good friends
and besides the kindly addition of a
Democratic county to the district by the
Cox machine at Columbus makes the
former Republican members bit careful
in predicting distress for White this year.
But, bless you. when Beman is asked
about other districts in the State he be-
comes eloquent in declaring that one
half Of the next delegation from Ohio
Will be Republican with his old colleague,
Nick Longworth, heading the list from
Cincinnati and the Columbus district /
made up OF single county very likely
to send Republican successor to Brum-
baugh in spite of the Brumbaugh energy
and personal activity among the voters.

The GOLD STANDARD.

From a statement OF the condition
Of the twelfth federal reserve bank at
the close Of business December It
will be observed that of total resourc-
es Of s273,0S4,00o held, $23O,912,O00
Is in gold coin or gold certificates.
These banks were organized by and
are operating under the direction of
men named by the President. All ma.
tional banks are required to ship gold
to make up their lawful reserve. The
standard established Is gold. All
we'll and good. But who would have
thought that a Democratic admins
tration would SO soon after thor plat
form OF 1896 change to the gold stand
ard. Now, IL the Democratic party
was as wise in this administration In
tho matter of collecting sufficient rev
enue to meet the necessary amount
to operate our government as they
appear to be by their adoption Of the
Republican gold standard, we would
soon be rid OF war tax in time of
peace.

kiLMER,s RESIGNATION.

There Is rumor current in
Charleston that Wade c. Kilmer, one
~ the Democratic members OF thu
public service commission, has ten
derred his resignation. Some time ago
Kilmer and the other Democratic
memberFof the commission, blocked
the people OF Charleston in an ef-
fort 10 reduce water rates by dead
locking the commission. Since then
public sentiment has run pretty high
against these members and this may
be the reason for his resignation. In
an probability the legislature will re-
4 duce the commission to three mem
$besirs and the vacancy will not have to
be filled. The commission should be
composed Of either three or five menl'
Sbers, giving the party in power ma
FORTY Of the commission and holding
that party responsible for the actions
of the. commission. The administra-
tion VIII have to bear any criticism
the commission is subjected to and
should therefore have majority o.
