MR.. wElR's CASE.

Any person at all familiar with the
political affairs OF West Virginia
knows that the campaign of Mr. Clar-
ence w. Watson for the United States
Senatorship was conducted solely on
a commercial basis. and that the only
qualification possessed by the can
didate was his checkbook. Those who
were associated with him in his cor
rupt canvass cannot hope TO escape
the implications and inferences to be
drawn. especially when they have
profited through such association.
Some days ago the Intelligencer
called attention to the disqualification
OF Mr.. James W. Weir as a clean
handed critic OF some of the leaders in
the Republican party, whom he has
subjected TO reckless treatment in his
political correspondence. He has re-
piled to these reflections in card
which, while recognizing an ordinary
imperfect statement. does not deny
the essential citations. As stated az
the outset, Mr. Watson secured his
support for the United States Senate
through a lavish expenditure of
money. Several remarkable rever.
sions occurred during that campaign.
Mr.. Weir was a publicist then. as he
is nowA At first he was rampant
and noisy supporter OF the Hon. John
T. McGraw, and suddenly he became
an ardent supporter OF Mr. Watson.

being summoned to Washington and

sador to France. and who was secre-
tary to the American embassy at
Great Britain at the time the treaty
was negotiated and was irr close touch
with the negotiators. he has told the
Senate committee on Interoceanic
Canals. now giving public hearings on
the subject. that IL never was his IN
derstanding. nor that OF any OF the
negotiators for Great Britain. that the
United States ever contemplated ex-
empting American coastwise shipping.
President Wilson In his address to
Congress took the ground that any
deviation from that understanding OF
the meaning of the treaty would be
a direct violation OF its terms and a
serious reflection on our national
honor. That was a high and honor
able contention. but Il seems that the
President has weakened himself by
now maintaining that the repeal of the
tolls exemption act is not to be con-
sidered as a construction OF the
treaty. but a matter OF expedieney.
This Is practically the gist OF Secre-
tary Bryan's- long statement IN de-
Tense OF the attitude OF the admfnistra-
ton. President Wilson has backed
and gone forward so much that Il is
really dificult to follow him This
new position must have been taken to
plaeate some angle OF opposition in

address TO Congress was: "In my

considered. that exemption tolls on

Britain concerning the canal. con-

said; Everywhere else the language
