According to a Close Friend and
Has Not Authorized Any
One to Say He Would.

GRAFTON, Sept. 80. - 1t is
learned upon excellent autho w. that
Col. John I. McGraw has authorized
no one to state that he intends to
make speeches in thi campaign for
Wilson, Chiffon and Cornwell. He
has no such intention. II Is stated
by a close personal friend OF his. ON
the contrary, not to make any speech
es in this campaign is what he had
determined on, and he has fatty de-
clined all overtures to draw him into
the contest and upon the stump.
1t is a matter Of common know
ledge that Col. McGraw is not in
favor OF the election of Wilson,
Chiffon and Cornwell, all three
of whom have been guilty OF
betrayIng him and inficting upon his
greater political humiliation than or
dinarlly befalls any one man at the
hands Of personal friends and party
leaders. 1t is accepted my the people
OF Grafton as foregone conclusion
that Colonel McGraw's vote when cast
will reflect his feeling In the matter.
Nobody in this town expects the
great effort that is being made to
compel Colonel McGraw to come to

Manchuria, clear infringement of
Chinese sovereignty. The president has
accepted Japan's assurance that no in
fringement is involved.
The California Affair.
Just how the president extricated
himself from his first row with Japan
is not definitely known. He sent Bryan
to induce the California legislature not
to pass the law prohibiting Japanese
from owning property in that state.
Bryan failed. Japan vigorously pro-
tested against the law and lengthy
interchange Of diplo attic notes en-
sued. The United States finally refused
to yield and the Japanese ambassador
pointedly inquired of Bryan: rs this
your last word?" Bryan replied: BE
tween friends there can be no last
word
Thereafter came ugly rufnors that
Japan was preparing for war with the
United States. Eventually, however
Japan cooled down and dropped the
California land dispute. II was re-

lutely no enthusiasm for Cornwell
in Upshur county among the Demo-
Gratis. They think he has made a
mistake in hooking up so tightly with
Watson, and besides. they also think
he is talking on dead issues, and un-

tax, while at the same time they
knew that railroads, telegraph and
telephone companies, ETC., were con-

of the new system, therefore, falls

All the public knows is that Japan

the intention OF Intervening in Mexico

Chinese Loan and Philippines.
The president has demonstrated that
he is not disposed TO go far in defense
OF the Hay and Root policies in the far
East. He has, however, reversed him
self on the question OF loans to China,
as on so many other propositions.
The Philippines Mr.. Wilson regards
as liability instead OF an asset in the
far East and early in his adminlstra-
ton he set afoot the project to get rid
Of them.
The popular reputation Of the argu-
ment for Sinking the duty owed by the
United States to the Philippines found
expression in the defeat OF the Clarke
amendment by the House.

with which the administration record
is replete, that have caused tho Re-
publIcans and even many Democrats,
TO complain that the president in mat
tors Of the grayest import to the well
fare OF the republic is ruled by panic
and political expendiency.
The course Of the administration in
the Japanese affair was marked first
by a bold advance, then. when Japan
resisted, by retreat and eventual sur
render.
The provision to which Japan OBJ
jected in the immigration bill orig
mated with the administration Itself
in 1914. In formal letter to the
speaker Of the House Secretary Of La
Dor Wilson recommended that in leg
islatlon excluding Aslatic laborers
there be included an exception ap-
plying to aliens the immigration of
whom into the United States Is reg
ulated by existing agreements as to
passports"
Accepted by Congress.
This exemption. applying to Japan,
was intended to write into American
law the 'gentlemen's agreement" un-
der which the Toxic government pre-
vents Japanese coolies from emlgrat-
ing TO the United States by deny
ing them passports.
Early in the last session Of Con-
gress the House committee on irar,i-
grafton accepted this administration
recommendation and wrote the identl-
cal phraseology into the immigration
bill. The committee sought the opin-
ion OF the state department and was
advised that there was no objection
the provision from the viewpoint Of
American relations with Japan.
While the measure was pending in
the House and again after It's massage
with the provision unchanged, Am-
bassador Chlnda protested to Secre-
tary OF State Lansing against legisla-
tive recognition Of the "gentlemen's
agreement" as an implication that
Japan Is not keeping its word or may
fail to do so in tho future. The adj
turned deaf ear to
his representations.

Two days before the ambassador went
to the White House the president had

tense situation in the foreign rela-
lions Of the United States existed.

Likewise. Japan succeeded in pre-
venting the administration from caus-
