lowing State Primary.

PARKERSBURG. w. Va, Dec. 15-
West Virginia may not take part in TIE
nomination of Republican candidate
for President at the Chicago convention
next June.
1t Is not because the members Of tho
party in this state are not interested
For several aspirsnts for the nomination
have ardent supporters in the state who
would do anything possible to help their
favorites. But. II the convention Is
compelled to get along without the adj
vice and participation OF the West Vir.
Ginians, II will be because of the action
OF the national committee in calling
the convention for the first week In
June.
Under the West Virginia laws. canhi.
dates must be nominated and delegates
to the national conventions chosen at
a general Statewide primary election
on June I, and It is about a twelve
hours ride to Chicago from the nearest
point in West Virginia. and more than
twenty-four hours from some sections
OF the State; In addition to this, many
voting precincts in the state are far
from railroads and telephones. and IT.
frequently requires two or three days
after an election to get even the un-
official returns.
The national committee provided that
a certificate by wire from the Secretary
of State would be received by the com
mfttee on credentials of the national
convention. but II the contest among the
friends of different ospirants for the
Presidency should result in the pla cling
of different sets of candidates on the
ticket for delegates to the national con-
vention. it might be impossible to de-
termine the result in West Virginia till
after the work of the natioral conven-
tion is over.
And. If the contest at Chicago should
he close. it might be that the choice

Virginia delegation.
In the event there are only one set
Of candidates for delegates to the ma
tional convention. it would work out
All right, and they could be given GER
tifcates as soon as the polls close.
otherwise complications may result and
the Satte may not get a chance to par
ticipate in the work of the convention.

OF course, there has always been
demand for the horse that could trot or

their influence on the volume of exports
IL not yet pronounced. Admitting the
truth Of all this, the amount of war orders
that have actually been placed in this
country, and the probable effect Of their
shipment on the export total, are both
grossly exaggerated.
AS rule. factories that have secured
bona iide orders for this class of goods
are not parading the fact AS rumor
spreads, one of these orders for a few
hundred thousand dollars worth of sup
plies soon assumes proportions running

ness being placed in this country rests on
nothing more substantial than ruror and
report.

however that the proportions of this war
business are not exaggerated, the assump-
ton that American manufa cturers are in
