THERE IS TROUBLE FOR
THE GRAND OLD PARTY
West Va Proeressives are Stirrinu
Standpatters are Having
Nightmare.

. Ihat the rrOgreSSives Of West Vir.
ginla are elert and will cause trouble
Tor the standpatters is the opinion Of
). V. Sullivan, of Charleaton, who
gives his views in the Enquirer. lie
says:
Again Tie Progressives are threat
enini5 to make trouble with q series
of revival meetings in the five con
SreSsiona' districts. Chairman Hand
lan' OF Wheeling, is planning to hold
a series Of five meetings, one in each
or the congressional districts, ending
the series with state rally at
Charleston. Within the next few
weeks the Progressive Chairman will
ask the State Committee in each Of
the congressional districts to select
a mem3er OF Campaign Committee
from eaC!i district.
At this time the Republican partv
i'll West Virginia is in worse shane
than 1t haS been for years. II has
y" real leadership inspiring the con
i1cnce it enjoyed COR a dozen wears
II started on a downward career even
before the national convention ii
'l2. In 1909 every pledge made in
the previous campaign was broken. In
l9ll ,ll.t?n Improvement was shown
although the Republicans were only
partially responsible for the prac.
tices that year, as the Legislature
Was divided. The Legislature of
1913 enacted more progressive legis
lation OF at enduring character than
mad been ! assed in several years. bui
that Legislature broke faith with the
Progresslves, inviting the continued
separation Of the third party m.-n.
UNLESS the signs are misleading
the Prosressives are going to prove
troublesome in the election OF the
next state legislature. If they have
candidates in every county, as they
claim they propose to have, it will
in all probability, mean the election
of Democratic Legislature, but the
Moosers insist that the responsibility
rests upon those who broke faith
with them after they had supported
the regular Republican state and
local tickets in the election Of 1912"

WHAT is THE PURPOSE.

Washington letters containing
character assaults upon men who
have occupied high positions dn the
councils Of the Republican party in
West Virginia, and others who, are
still recognized as leaders in that
organization, have been published dn
Republican newspapers of the state.
TO the utter amazement of many of
their readers. Congressman James
A. Hughes and former Fish Commits
sloner George M. Bowers are among
those who have been styled out for
attack. The former has replied In
denunciatory card appearing IN
one OF the newspapers published In
MS district; the latter occupies the
advantageous position of having met
and refuted the allegations OF mis-
conduct made against him. Even the
dead are not spared in the campaign.
Charges against the late Senator
Stephen B. Elkins. In connection
with the Alaska seals fisheries, which
were thoroughly aired during his Life
time, have been revived.
What is the purpose OF this an.
parently organized attack through
the Republican press upon public
men OF West Virginia? Is it q plot
to destroy their power and Influence
Ia the party, dn order that a ooterIe
OF conspirators may advance their
personal interests, as stated in
washington telegram published else.

Republican politicians willing to
stoop to such base methods as be.

to serve their private ends? II The

tional capital is accurate, the news.

If Huerta Should FaII-Dispute
With Japan Over Land Laws is Be
Iieved to be Rapidly Clearing.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-During a
three-hour conference between the
President and the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee at the White
House last might Mr.. Wilson made it
plain that he believed the ground
taken by this Government in exempt.
ing American ships engaged in coast
wise trade from the payment Of tolls
for the use of the Panama Canal
was in violation of the treaty.
He. urged that the Adamson act
which makes the exemption, be
amended rather than allow the mat
ter to go to arbitration and have tic
nation run the danger of having ar
arbitration court find in favor OF
Great Britain. He did not believe
the ratification Of the arbitration
treaty with Great Britain would have
any effect one way or another, as
under the terms Of the treaty the
Senate has the last say as to whether
a matter shall not be arb .trated
Senator Root, of New York, one CT
the Republican members Of the com
mittee, took the view of the Presi
dent . .'t.
The President indicated after the
conference that no opposition to this
view had manifested itself among
the conferees.
Many Subjects Discussed.
The other subjects on which the
President threw light were the Mexi.
can situation, the Japanese contro
versy over the California alien land
laws, the negotiations with Colum.
bia for a settlement of the Panama.
Columbia feud, the Haitien revolu.
tion and the general arbitration trea
ties.
1t was the first time since soon af-
ter Mr.. Wilson became President
that he has had an opportunity to
talk to the whole committee
The President informed the COM
mittee that he believed it the duty Of
the nation to renew the arbitration
treaties. He told them this was
particularly so with reference to the
treaties with Great Britain and
Japan. T'T7THy. =;
The Mexican discussion consisted
wholly Of making known the present
situation in Mexico. The President
did not, according to his own words,
touch on the question Of what he In
tends doing in the event Of the fall
Of Huerta
The President informed the mem
bers Of the committee that the situa-
tion in Mexico City was more pre-
carious than in the States Of the re-
public. He enlightened them regard
ing the visit to him at Pass Chris
tian of John Lind, his personal rep
resentative in Mexico.
Not to Invade Capital.
1t is to have ample forces in Mexi-
can waters to land troops sufficient
to establish a base at Vera Cruz that
the landing force of RearAdmiral
Fletcher's fleet was strengthened.
It is not the purpose of the Presi-
dent, it was made plain to the com
mittee to send any of the force I'M
der Admiral Fletcher to Mexico City,
in the event Of disturbances there.

mittee that the Japanese controversy
