dental nomination Of the Democratic
.party,I am willing to permit the use
Of my name, that the Democrats in
Ohio may make known their prefer
ence In regard to that nomination.
"In order, therefore, to satisfy the
technical requirements OF the statute
of the state of Ohio, l hereby consent
to the use of my name as n candidate
for the presidency by any candidate
who seeks to be elected delegate to
the national Democratic convention,
which is to Assem- BILE in June, next. :"
This was the first time the presi-
dent has consented formally to have
his name used in connection with the
nomination. His name has been
placed on primary ballots in several
states, however, through the acttvi-
ties Of friends.
The president takes the position
that the voters will have to determine
whether he will make the race for
the presidency in 1916 as the Demo-
cratic candidate. In letter writ
ten to A. Mitchell Palmer then rep
resentative from Pennsylvania, before
his Inauguration, Mr.. Wilson mnde
It plain that he would only ba n can
didate again il the Democratic vot-
ers desired 1t y.
Political advisers and friends Of
the president have taken for granted
for months that he would be the
nominee of. his party and have made
their plans accordingly. The national
Democratic committee has prepared
all the campaign material with the
idea that he would be the party can
didate,
The formal announcement Monday
is expected by Democratic leaders to
clarity the political situation
throughout the country. Supporters
Of the president, they said Monday,
now would be able to work for him
more openly.

the first definite announcement that
he is not a candidate for the Repub-
llran nomination for United States
senator, declaring that he would
make any sacrifice for the good Of
the party.
II do not have to hold office to be
Of service to the grand old party" he
declared, but shall take an active
interest in politics as long as live.
Ills the duty OF every good citizen to
take part in the affairs of his state
and county"
The governor introduced w. F.
Hite, of Huntington, who is an
avowed candidate for senatorial hon
os. The latter made a brief i'd
dress at each meeting declaring that
II nominated and elected he would
give his best services to the state
and would be the representative Of
all the people. These speakers ad-
dressed large crowds at Northfork,
Kmbal and Gray. At each point
they were enthusiastically received
and the governor in particular was
given one cation after the other.
Fully fifteen hundred persons lis
tened at Northfolk. The governor
described his administration, giving
attention to the many laws enacted.
He rained sledge hammer blows on
the people, both in the party and out
ofit, who had been attacking his ad-
mlnistration. Attorney General LII
ly's name was not mentioned but 1t
was thought that most of his remarks
were directed at him. He denounced
the Cheap demagogues who have
been preaching retrenchmeni. and
declared ut is Democratic talk IL
you hear a man talking 1t who is not
Democrat you may know at least
that he speaks Democratic Language.
He launched into long discussion Of
the state financial problem and de-
clared state institutions are badly
in need of greater appropriations.
Speaking of his reported candida
cy for the senatorial nomination he
said II am not a candidate for the
office. know how you boys feel
about it and from the bottom of my
heart 1 thank you. ! am willing 10
make any sacrifice for the Republican
interest. No mans ambition should
rise above his party welfare. If It
does he is not worthy of being con-
sidered member of our party. |
don't want any political job. No man
could appoint me to one. But do
want to see man elected to succeed
me who will promote the progress Of
the Republican party and the de-
velopment of the Institutions and re-
sources of West Virginia. ! am for

FRENCH ARE NOW
PUSHING ONWARD
BLUE BUSY
Against Traction Companies Of
the State and the Nor
folk and Western.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 14.-In the
effort to further check the transpor'
tation Of intoxicants into West Vir-
ginla from licensed states, more in
functions will this week be sought by
the department of prohibition. Ac-
tion will be taken ct Parkersburg,
where Commissioner Fred o. Blue
will ask for a restraining order
against the Kanawha Traction and
Electric Company, operating an in
terurban line betkeen Marietta, o.,
and Parkersburg.
Judge J. D. Wilkinson, of the
Wayne county circuit court will be
asked to permanently enjoin the
Ohio Valley Traction Company from
accepting passengers from Kentucky
and Ohio saloon towns who carry In
toxicants labelled as such as person
al baggage.
Counsel for the Norfolk and West.
ern Railroad Company has intimated
that that road will vigorously oppose
the effort Of the prohibition depart
ment to inforce a similar injunction
against that road, not that the Off
cials are not in accord with the de-
partment in this matter, but because
some Of the terms of iniunctions SO
far awarded are such as to make the
road liable for damages II they were
enforced. 1t is said by counsel that
reasonable regulation" would be
perfectly satisfactory to the road.

/ hazardous class of industries. and 1t
was suggested that The commission
administering the fund be permitted
to fiSa rate sufliclentto 10 insure a solv-
ent compensation fund. This they
would not have and eliminated II.
Their idea was permitted to prevail
and the bill became a law in keeping
with that idea.
These gentlemen took the position
that the coal people throughout the
state should have the same rate, re-
gardlcss OF their record In the way
OF accidents, which, It was contend
ed by others, would work great In
justice upon men connected with the
industry who we're desirous Of reduc-
ing the number Of accidents In the
conduct Of their industry TO the min
imum, giving these faithful men no
encouragement whatever to continue
their campaign, because under the
law they were to receive no special
consideration over the industry own
er who was. derelict and permitted
greater number OF accidents than his
neighbor, which II the proper precau-
tions we're taken, would not have oc-
CURED.
The law became operative in Oc-
tober, 1918. 1t soon became apparent
to the public service commission, to
whom the administration of this law
was left, that the 81 limit on the 800
pay roll was entirely too small to take
care OF the more hazardous industries
such as coal mining, quarrying, rail.
road construction, powder mills and
mining, The commission therefore
knowingly placed larger rate upon
certain class Of industries than was
necessary, to take care OF the indus
tries Of the more hazardous class, the
result Of which was that industries
OF a less hazardous class were placed
in position to assume q part Of the
indemnlties OF more hazardous indus
tries. It is true that none OF this
excess rate charged to these less haz-
ardous industries was used to take
Sare o. the indemnities Of the more
hazardous schedules for the reason
that the law has been amended and
those Industries that are delinquent
have by law been required to. make
| good by an increased rate the amount
| OF their unprotected liability to this
fund. Had the law continued In .op-
Grafton as 1t was passed by the leg
lslature OF 1913, this surplus over
and above any indemnties occasion
ed by the less hazardous industries
wouldhaye unquestionably of neces-
sity been applied to take care Of the
more hazardous class ~ the protec-
tion Of their indemnitles after the
surplus that had been accumulated
