The controversy going on there among
the Republican officials has hearten-
ed them. Their talk now is that they
have a chance of rescuing u few
brands from the burning next year.
They discuss the Republican rucus
cheerfully and hopefully, and behave
that it will afford them an opporeuni-

lature with a large enough confidence
in the outcome to put pep" and en-

colleagues. The recuperativc powers

opinion that there was a good deal OF

tinue forever. 1t was about due to
change, they said, and history doesn't
always repeat itself. In conclusion,
they somewhat prayerfully expressed
the hope that the confused condition in
West Virginia would remain confused
for some. time to come, as their party
had nothing to lose from such state
OF affairs, and might stand show OF
pulling governor and legislature out

And it is upon this, it may be truth.

Governor Hatfield's candidacy is ia,

that they are able to hold the Second
district i'll their party's column next
year, they are at liberty to try with
out any fear of obstruction from Jan
ttor" Brown. He's through with it.
The indications are that Mr.. Brown
is going to meet with a surprise when
he lands back from his Pacific pilgrim
age. There will probably be a candi-
date in the field by then, with fairly
strong and aggressive organization OF
party leaders behind him, and no small
amount OF rank-aud-tile sentiment.
The leaven is working and, had not
Mr.. Brown been so busy with arrang-
ing his affairs preparatory to his de-
parture, he might have got an inkling
of what has been going on here this
week, which it is most certain THAI
he did not get. There has been n
good bit of putting heads together in
Senator Chilton's offices and rooms,
and the long distance phone was pat
ronized without stint. Which was all
preliminary, so we are told, to more
general and formal conference which
is expected to line up the boys" for
a man other than William Gay Brown.
II the program as outlined is not aban-
doned later on, then 1t is q pretty

taking to say that the novel sugges-
ton made somewhere by somebody
that is about to be told OF, emanaIeu
from that group. That it came to the
surface while they were here may be
but striking coincidence. Or, it
may be just forerunner of the dog

In politics contending for the same
desirable honor. 1t ought to be high
~ stimulating to the Republicans in
west Virginia and the unregenerate
on the side lines, and doubtless will
pe. Mr.. Mann is credited with having
discovered DIR. Hatfield as a guberna-
torial possibility and doing more than
any other individual in the prelimf-
narIes and after to place the Eckman
physician in the throne chair. In re.
turn, Governor Hatfield was thought
to be. up till the time the Legislature
met IN 1913 and for brief time there
after, heartily in favor OF Mr.. Mann
for the senatorship. But in the midst
OF the struggle that general belief was
SUDDENLY and tnexplicably dispelled.
1t looks from the distance Oh the
present time as if the contest in the
Republican party for the senatorship
will be confined to the southern sec
ton of the state. However, there Is
no written law to bar any upstate
man from entering and taking a fling
at the prize, and it Is no new news
to observe that some upstate men arc
not sleeping we'll these nights for
thing on this subject
If. as Is likely to be the case. the
senatorial contestants all hall from
the southern region, we'll known,
strong and influential men there, then
| their real battlefield will be in the mid
die and northern section. The heavy
party vote in their own balliwick is
likely to be divided between them, and
the counties further north will be the
prizes that will be most strenuously
str1ven for. as their vote is likely to
be deciding. If this should happen
to be the situation, the tussIe for the
| gubernatorial nomination will most

isles OF Hawaii. He added that one
of the reasons why he was making the

the country until the middle part OF
June, was to think over this very
matter. Also. as he has not been in

to reap benefit in that respect. One
thing that the Second district repre-
