Against Democrats.

Especial Dispatch to West virginian)
NEW YORK, n. Y, October IL.
The Democratic National Commit.
tee is in trouble over the discovery of
It's attempt to extort Wilson campaign
funs from postmasters and other fed.
eral officeholders. Chairman McCor.
mick undertook at first to deny utterly
that any such attempt was being
made. He said the charge was "ar.
rent nonsense and absolutely untrue"
Then he learned that the Republi.
can National Committee had proof
that the charge was true. Thcreupon
Mr.. Mccormick sought cover by max.
ing public letter written by the
State chairman. instructing the bag.
men how to violate the law and es.
cape the penitentiary and announcing
that he and the rest of the Democratic
National Committee repudiated 1t but
n great deal more Is needed from Mr..
Mccormick IN the way of explanation
and denial before the case is closed.
Something is needed. also from Post
master General Burleson in whose
State. Texas. this attempt at expor.
ton was made. Something is needed
also from d. o. Roper who resigned
the office OF first Assistant Postmaster
General to become a member OF the
Democratic National campaign COM
mittee. cited by Mr.. Ridgway as au-
thority for the extOrtion scheme
When Mr.. Mccormick has given due
atf m 70 hi l.,
may be ready to take up the case of
the State of Washington and issue Il
reputation of the bagmen who are so
active in collecting assessment from
federal Office holders there lie may
find time to explain the difference in
the rate Of assessment in Washington
from that In Texas. After that per.
haps Mr.. Mccormick will take adj.
vantage Of the opportunity to tell
what Mr.. A. T. Schmitt OF Louisville,
KY. Is doing in the way Of stimulating
postmasters and others to join the
Wilson permanent organization" and
to contribute to the cause. Mr.. Nc
Cormick may explain whether this is
the organization that is to keep 4
record of the Loyal who contribute
and the "Disloyal" who do not contri.
butte. Mr.. Schmitt happens to be the
postmaster of Louisville and is in a
specially favored position both for in
fluencing other postmasters and for
other work which In view of the pro-
visions Of the law alluded to by Mr..
Ridgway requires a delicacy of touch.
The emphatic manner in which Mr..
Mccormick denied responsibility for
and repudiated the cxtortion game in
Texas sets up the national presump.
ton that he will take a similar course
regarding these In Washington and
Kentucky cases. And when he has
settled them there will be several 9th.
ers for him to tackle. MIR. Mccormick
Is likely to be fairly busy in the repu.
diation line.
