The special election that will have
to be heldlin the Second congressional
district by reason Of Congressman
Browns death, will, the politicians
here say, serve as a barometer as to
how the general election in the state
may be expected to result next Mo-
vember. Moreover, the officials at
the headquarters Of the Republican Ma
tional Congressional Committee claim
the result will have bearing on the
national situation as showing the
trend. They expect the district to
break away from its Democratic moor
ings, where it has been held since
1910, and send a Republican to- WASH
ington. They are not the only ones
who expect that to happen. Every
body does-and that statement goes as
to Democrats as well as Republicans.
It is a waste of words to explain to
people familiar with Second district
politics why everybody expects that to
happen. Junior" Brown was the only
Democrat who carried the district
since w. L. Wilson lost It to A. G. Day
ton twenty-five years ago. Brown car
ried it threa times, butsthere was only
one Junior" and it is reasonable to
believe thatlit will be at least twenty
two years more before the Democracy
develops politician like him. Per-
sonaIity, plus wealth to back up dis
trict organization, plus the willingness
to use It with a degree Of sportsman
ship in, the using that is rarely met UP
with, were some OF the prime things
which made Brown a three-tfmes win
ner in a Republican stronghold: There
is no Democrat In the district to take
his place, is the universal opinion, and
back will go the district to its old
nnr+y. Inv II a. MORO 1ite'v than NO

over polling between these two can

the rank and file of the party voters
can be made to believe. They are the
folks that are going to have the last
say, and as there are no policies to

will weigh personalities. It will be de-
cided, as all will see before the con-
test proceeds many days longer, strict

merits Of the men will be the test.
On the strength of that issue, Judge

II WASHINGTON, D. c., March Is
watching the trend OF gubernatorial
politics in both parties in West Viz
ginia, seeing it rejecting in the re-
ports OF conditions made by visitors
fresh from the field, the politicians
here regard the success OF Judge Ira
Robinson's candidacy with leellng
.of more certainty than ever before,
and the nomination Of John j. Corn
we'll as the standard bearer OF the
Democratic party as even more GER
tain by reason Of the expected, almost
equal division Of the vote in the south
ern part OF the state by the brace OF
contenders in that region, Messrs.
Hogg, of Fayette, and French, OF Mer-
ce-. Should, as not few expect, one
of these two should withdraw In IA
yor of the other, then it Is admitted
that Cornwell's bright prospects would
quickly be oercast with some thick
and somber shadows Of doubt. SO
long as it remains as it now Is. tri-
angular affair, Cofnwell is booked in
the betting as favorite by long odds.
The consensus OF opinion on the
Robinson.Lilly contest as expressed
by visiting state Republicans is that
the Grafton iurist's has shot o head a
rot!f.s ab1 d sance Wishing M tic
ians Of the opposite faith. however,
when discussing this contest, John
tCoruweIl included, express the oppo.
site view. They predict Ltlly's nomi-
nation. Their political complexion, as
sociations and. interests, as we'll as
their zeal in doping out the Republt-
can situation, naturally stirs up sus-
pfcion that their earnest and, at times,
almost enthusiastic prophecy, constt-
tutes a wish that Is father to the
thought. It strikes the state colony
here as significant that the Democratic
press and politicians are lined up with
such unusually enthusiastic unanimtty
for the Raleigh candidate with the
fiower-like name-so far as the nomi-
nation is concerned, but only SO far
as that.
It is being recalled by some polite
ians who have some reason in the
light Of their past reputation for pre-
science in the game and ability to
size up a situation, that, at the outset
Of the Robinson and Lilly announce
meuts. which occasioned much noise
among the leaders at least, and things
we're unsettled and lines were I'M
strung, that they foretold that the
solid substance OF the Robinson's can
dIdacy would, in the fulness of time
and delfberatfon on. the part Of the
voters OF the party who are the final
arbiters as between these two con-
tenders, assert itself and gain the as
cendancy. This Is what they say has
happened. There is BODY. they ar

CHILD LABOR BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
IN HOUSE-SPEEDY ACTION AT WILSON'S INSlSTENCE.

Washington. = The Senate passed the bill to prevent interstate com merce in products of child labor by a vote of 52 to 12. The measure, which already had passed the House, was brought to a vote in the Senate upon the insistence of President Will son after the Democratic Senate cau- GUS had decided to defer it's consid- eration until next December.
 Opposition to the measure had come chiefly from Southern cotton mill owners, and the group of South ern Democrats who voted against it had fought it in caucus and main tained their opposition during the Senate debate on the ground that the regulation proposed is unconstitu- tional and would interfere with the rights of the states. Eleven Demo erats from the South, Senators Swan son and Martin of Virginia, Under wood of Alabama, Vardaman of Mis- sissippi, James and Beckman of Ken lucky, Culberson and Shephard of Texas, Ransdell of Louisiana, Robin son of Arkansas and Shields of Ten nessee, voted for it.
 Senators Broussard Of Louisiana, Clarke of Arkansas, Gore and Owen of Oklahoma and Lea of Tennessee, were absent and did not vote.
 In order to expeulue consideration of the measure in conference, Senate conferees were appointed immediate ly after the final vote. The only amendment adopted would extend the bills provisions to bar all products of establishments employing children from interstate commerce. The House measure was directed only against those on which child labor actually had been employed.

 NEAR CUILLEMONT
HEAVY ARTILLERY CONTINUES IN POZlERES THEATER AND
 VICINITY OF MAMETZ.

London.-The British official com munication issued reads:
 Southwest of Guillemont we ad- vanced our line about 400 yards. Fighting continues near Guillemont Station.
 Northwest of Pozieres the enemy made four attacks on our trenches, again using f1ammenwerfer. Three attacks failed completely, but in one he managed to occupy about 90 yards of our trenches.
 line enemy shelled Longueyal, Highwood and Pozieres heavily and also the vicinity of Mametz.
 Elsewhere along the front it was a quiet day, except for some artillery activity in the Loos salient and near Givenchy"
 A statement issued earlier says:
 .The enemy, after his five fruitless attempts north and east of Pozieres. has not made any fresh infantry at tacks, out is maintaining heavy ar tiflery bombardment on this front and on other portions of the battle area.
 Our troops pushed forward in places east of Trones Wood, and fighting on the outskirts of Guile mont, near the station, is proceeding, In the eastern portion of the Leipsic salient the enemy attempted bomb attack on our lines, but was driven back without difficulty.
 North of Roolincourt two of our raiding parties successfully entered the German lines and blew up some dugouts.
 "An enemy squadron of 10 aero planes endeavored to cross our lines on bombing expedition. They were cut off by one of our offensive pa trols of four machines. The enemy's machines scattered, pursued by our patrols. Two of the hostile aero- planes had to make forced descents behind their own lines"
