A WILSON PARTY.

An Observing woman, with whom
We are closely associated. remarked
across the tea-cups recently. Il notice
they do not speak of it as the Demo-
cratic party any longer; they call it
the Wilson party" Which same
shows a woman's keen discernment,
for the little lady was quite right
Likewise the way of referring to it is
quite right. 1t is not the Democratic
party any longer. Mr. Wilson has
left little of that party's historic prin-
ciples and policies, in either his utter
ances or his actions. The issue so re
duced to a personal equation. 1t is
Wilson vel non. The campaign is not
piVoted on a great party's doctrines
or its record; it is pivoted on the ap-
proval or disapproval of the admins
tration, policies and principles (?) Of
one Woodrow Wilson.

Maine seems to have made pretty
conclusive answer to those Demo-
cratic critics who have been harping
on the "fat State and improbable"
quality of Mr.. Hughes campaign
speeches. Where Mr.. Hughes assist
ed in Maine last week the Republican
campaign up there was a very tame
affair. The State had been filled with
the best talent the Democrats could
produce, and the State was being
stoutly claimed for the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Hughes stalked into the
situation and dealt siedge-hammer
blows right and left; talked right out
in that fearless, direct, convincing
way he has, and as result the people
woke up. In Mondays election Maine
polled an unusually large vote, and be
it said with emphasis big Republi-
can majority. In other words, Mr..
Hughes arraigned Mr.. Wilson for his
incompetent administration and the
Maine voters by big majority ap-
proved the arraignment. More to
follow on November It'll.

OF Prime Importance to Great
Britain in the European
War Struggle.

The position of the British govern
ment on two matters Of prime impor-
lance In the conduct OF the war is to
be determined as result of proceed
ings underway today. The attitude
of labor toward compulsory military
service will be decided at the confer
ence meeting today in Bristol. The
debate on the question OF blockade
of German is before the House OF
Commons.
The Bristol conference Is the most
important OF It's kind ever held In
England representing more than q
600 900 members of trades unions.
The compulsory military service bill
having passed the House Of Com
mons and encountered little opposi-
tion in the House Of Lords the out
come Of the long campaign on this Is
sue will depend largely on the attl-
/ tude of organized labor. Although
great opposition to compulsion de-
yeloped at the London labor confer
ence It is believed this feeling has
died down to a considerable extent
since that time. f-t
There are limitations unofficial In
nature that the British government
has decided against a formal blockade
Of Germany. 1t is pointed out In Eng
lish newspapers which reflect the
views Of the government that such a
blockade might weaken Great Brit
aims hands and increase friction with
neutrals.
The Austrian drive down the east
ern coast Of the Adrlatic having passed
beyond the Montenegrin border is now
said to have resulted in the capture
OF an Albanian seaport, San Giovanni
di Medua. Rome adyices indicate that
the Italian government Is concerned
at the extension Of Austrian influence
southwark along the Adriatlc but
there are no indications that further
measures to oppose the Teutonic
forces are underway 1t Is said no
alarm is felt in Rome for Avlona,
which has been occupied by Italian
troops. or for Durazzo, in the hands
| Of Essad Pasha, provisional president
OF Albania, who has cast his lot with
the Allies.

Many Coming Forward When
Invitations Follow Preach
ing of Evangelist.
GREAT REVIVAL ASSURED
Entire City Moved by Interest
in This Campaign against
the Elements of Evil.

One of the greatest campaigns
against the devil ever inaugurateo
in West Virginia, is now on In full
blast in the First Methodist Episco-
pal church. Dr.. King in launching
this great work certainly made a wise
selection when he secured the SER
vices of DIR. Morrison. the silver
tongued orator. Of the South, and
man whose lovable nature and ster-
ling character makes him instantly
a great favorite with all who meet
him.
The preaching Of Dr.. Morrison Is
without parallel in some respects
in fact he stands alone. He is a man
whose peculiar manner OF getting
right down to the very vitals OF u
subject make him perhaps better fit-
ted under existing conditions here
than any other evangelical worker
that might have been suggested. To
miss one OF his mastery sermons Is 10
miss treat.
Last night there was a great crowd
out to hear the preaching and 1t is
indeed we'll to come early If one cares
to secure seat. Tonight the attend
ance will doubtless be much greater.
At the close of the sermon gen
eral invitation was given to come
forward in a reconsecration move
ment, but to the great surprise OF
many, when the people started to
move down the aisles number knelt
at the altar rail in humble supplica-
ton for remission of their sins.
One OF the features Of the meeting
was the great willingness on the part
of those present to engage in prayer
and personal work among the peni-
tents. Among those who were seen
bowed in supplication to the Great
Creator Of all was one old man
whose days of his years" were ap-
preaching we'll toward the century
mark.
The music is rapidly improving
under the able direction of Prof.
Hiatt and the great chorus is al
ready rendering some Of the most
difficult numbers.

Ell PASo, Jan. 26-Francisco Vii
la, now in western Chihuahua, defy
ing the forces of the Carranza' gov
eminent, is using the cry Remember

formidable foe until the latte rdroye

States after the battle Of Ojinaga
nearly two years ago. Orozco was
shot and killed last September in the
mountains on this side OF the boun-
Diary sometime after he had for

being held as a violator Of United

advantage of the circumstances Of
Orozcos death Is declared to be
using his name as a rallying cry for
recruits.
Western Chihuahua was the home
OF Orozco as we'll as that Of Villa,
and the dead leader had large fol-
lowing. which is said to have been
infiamed recently when Villa inform
ed them that Orozco had been muir
dered in Texas by Americans.

CHARLESTON. Jan. 26.--Governor
Henry d. Hatfield In statement given
out last night to the press, said.
The statement made by Senator
Tlogg In announcing his candidacy for
the governorship Is reyerberation
Of the parrot-llke, vicious falsehoods
which were to be frequently heard
during the last session OF the legis-
lature emanating from that class
which wished to see defeated every
effort made by the legislators Who
were sincerely Interested in the states
welfare. to put into effect the progress
slve legislation enacted at the session
OF 1915. ~
Senator Hogg lent his support 10
that conspiracy, as the record Will
show, that put West Virginia In the
embarrassing financial condition which
brought about an actual moratorium.
That the state could not pay Its ordi-
nary expenses Of governmental main
tenance, was brought to the attention
Of tho citizens through the press OF
the state. soon after came into ONCE
October "a, 1913, in my conlmuni-
cation to Mr.. Radeker, Of Parkersburg.
This declaration as to the states
deficit was confirmed by the audit Of
the Honorable p. A. Dover, on Decern-
Der IL, 1914, confirmed by the state
tax commissioner. Mr.. Blue, and ap-
proved by Auditor Darst at that time.
II was again itemized and confirmed
and given to the public by Mr.. Dover,
in keeping with chapter 40 OF the acts &
Of 1915, which requires an annual
audit Of the states finances.
Hogg's Bad Record.
The record that Senator Hogg made
indicates that he was controlled OIL M
fuenced for political or other ,ppr-
poses. and with other senator's refused
10 provide sufficient revenue fpsuarisy'
on the state government and niaihtAiii
the state institutions. This resulted
In the necessity Of going to the ok
pense OF calling q third session Of tho
legislature after an indignant citizen
ship had been aroused to the sitias
ton, before relief came to the state
Institution. When Senator Hogg makes
the assertion that the states money
is being extravagantly used he re-
fleets upon himself, or exposes to the
public lack of intelligence as tog0y-
ernmental affairs. II he is informed
