Two for the Measure, One
Against and Two Fail to
Commit Themselves.
HOUSE TO Vote TODAY
GOVERNOR MORE IMPORTANTLY
ss1WEsT!v!RelNIAST HANyAiu.s.
SENATOR.
By Charles Brooks Smith,

~ 80 N8AeN
WASHINGTON. D. G., Jan. 10. -
When the House Of Representatives
votes on the women suffrage amend.
ment today, It Is expected that the re-
suit will show the SIX members from
West Virginia divided on the question
In the form in which 1t is to be voted
on. Congressman Hughes Is the most
outspoken member in favor OF tho
measure. Congressman Moss and Nee.
ly arc expected TO vote for It, too;
while Congressman Avis has commit.
ted himself one way or the other.
So far as the West Virginia con.
gressmen are concerned, they have
very little reliable assurance Of what
the sentiment Of the women of their
state is on this question. Few West
Virginia women taking the feminine
population OF the state as whole
have taken the time or the trouble to
write the congressman what they
think about It. Amere handful Of In.
divtdual letters have been received,
a few sets of resolutions from won.
EMS club favorlng the amendment,
and that is about the sum total OF the
Ipetitioning, pressure and lobbying
that has been done by the West Viz.
ginta "suffs.' II there is, therefore,
an overwhelming or majority senti-
mont in West Virginia favorable to
women's suffrage, there is nothing in
tho way of letters, etc, to the con.
gressmen to prove 1t. If the silence
on and lack of aggressive activity in
promoting the success Of women's
suffrage on the part Of West Virginia
women indicates anything 1t tends
very strongly TO indicate that they arc
at least not particularly interested in
the outcome Of tie amendment to be
voted on. "A
q And yet, despite oil Of that, a
majority Of the members of the del.
egation are expected to cast their
votes for the amendment, not because
they arc convinced that q majority OF
the women of the state, or men either
for that matter, care very much about
1t one way, or the other, at the present
time, but because they conscientious.
" believe in the justice and desira.
bility OF the proposal.
That the governship is more impor.

than United States senatorshlp, and
that, SO far.as the Republican party
is concerned, the party should be al.
lowed TO seek its own candidate for
governor (the old and highly respect.

Elliott Northcott, OF Huntington and

viii Claim and Defend Title
if Williams Goes to the
Feathereweights.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Johnny Cou-
lon is coming back. The little gentle
man OF the ring has been retired
since Kid Williams knocked him out
of the bantamweight Championship
last year; and 1t is in the hope Of re-
gaining his lost laurels that the Chi
cago ex.champlon is coming back to
the scene OF his former triumphs.
And it is quite probable that Coa-
Ion win get back his title without
having to 60 through the formality
of defeating the present champion.
Williams is taking weight on SO rapid:
ly that it is only a question Of a few
more months before he will be a
full.grown featherweight. With Viii
llams out Of the 'bantamweight ranks
the title, according to ring tradition,
will revert back to the former holder.
should the said erstwhile champion
care to defend it against all corners.
coulon, still retaining the keen per-
ception that enabled him TO fight his,
way to the top, has It all figured out.
that II Williams ascends from the ban.
tamweight division he (coulon) will.
have no difficulty in yanquishing the
other claimants OF the bauble. Thus
he would entrench himself in the
popular position he has always oc-;
eupied in the hearts Of the fans.
We are told that Caesar had his
Brutus, Napoleon his Wellington and
Mack his stallings. Well, Johnny
coulon had his Kid Williams. The
compact little Dane has been a meme
sis to Couloln from the very first time
he set eyes upon the Baltimore fight
ing machine. S..
The case Of Johnny Coulon is in.
deed an interesting one. He has just
passed his twtntythird milestone in
life; yet he is looked upon as a vete.
ran Of the ring. Coulon, as O matter
of fact, is a prematureiy old man,
years Of conscientious training and
as conscientious fighting having made
their inroads into the frame and con-.
tour of the dimunitiye Chicagoan. Ho
was one of the few ever popular
champions, and II he can be restored
to his former rank in the pugilistic
realm we can think of no one person
who would begrudge him the laurels
SO deservedly won.
