On the eve Of the statewide primary
il may be well TO attempt to mirror
in this article the prevailing sentiment
Of the politicians Of standing and in.
fluential activity in both OF the par.
ties as TO the outcome. To ascertain
this the views of many OF them who
have been travelling 20 and from the
capital in very recent days have been
secured; also, the opinion of many
men at home either engaged in the
pre.primary campaign or closely alb,
sorbed in observing its development
in their respective localities, has been
secured via confidential correspond.

Of majority sentiment Of those in.

construed as prophecy upon the part
Of the correspondent.
That being clearly understood-here

ocrats as their candidate for United

candidate
Neither will have an overwhelming.
ly large majority, according TO the
opinions expressed. In fact, It is to
be close race between them, but
each will get a sufficiently long lead
to obviate the dangers OF a recount.
II will be a close race between

The sentiment that Col. Watson will
be nominated by the Democrats Is al.
most overwhelming among the reputed
expert and experienced politicians and
leaders in both parties. It is probably
largely based upon the fact that the
Democratic organization is for Watson
with hardly break and that the idea
has been successfully ins.iiled in the
minds OF the rank and file that with
Watson the nominee the party has a

LOVING pictures, first a eurios'
.M ity. and later a means OF enter
AVA tainment are now being used In
an educational way, and the use is
growing rapidly, new fields being in.
Vaded By the screen every day that
We may know not only our own coun-
try and people better. but that We may
get . glimpse OF foreign climes as well.
The popularity Of the educational reei
10 apparent from the fact that all Oh

other. Naturally as the novelist uses
fiction frequently 70 guide us 70 bits
Of history, the scenario writer OCcd-
slonally resorts % the same scheme

otherwise be dry. An example OF TINS
kind, SAYS the Motion Picture, is The
Romance OF Coap' which the Educa-
tional Films Corporation Is now pro.
ducing. II answers the requirements
OF accuracy as 70 fact and permanent
qualities for standard use yet II Is
primarily entertaining. Such a sub.
ject cannot be dealt with by install
ments. It lends itself 20 big plot
and TO we'll defined ramalis personae,
like the opic novels OF Frank Norris
that dealt with the theme OF wheat
The idea OF this story originated
with Miss Caroline Gentry, native oil
Charleston, w. Va, who has made a
deep study OF the basic theme. Even
more so than you and who did some
studying n the subject OF How to OBJ
tain coal this past winter.
Coal is said TO be the most widely
talked about, and the least intelligent
w understood, OF Natures gifts. The
picture will bring home to everybody
the truth about coal, and the romance
OF the vast transmitted solar energy,
expressed in concrete human terms.
The absolute dependence OF the Allied
Powers on the Coal Giant-and par
ticulaTly their dependence on the coal
fields Of the United States-makes the
picture timely.
An excellent first step in the under.
taking was to select the Switzerland
OF America-West Virginia-as the
Z scene. The most ravlshing landscape
beauty hides the murky form OF the
Coal Titan. VIII ola reused from his
/ secular slumber by the wizardTy Of
modern machines and the labors Of
many thousands OF men. Every pro.
cess in the mining, transportation and
tTansmutation Of coal into active en-
ergy is shown In the picture. but every
thing will be incidental to the romance
itself, which is typical Of the relations
Between the mining folk and the out
I side public. A big wallop will be put
IN for the better treatment Of the pub
lie and Of the mining interests by the
ruler Of the railroads. Perhaps pub
lie sentiment will be walked to the
point where priority Of coal cars will
not be asked but be demanded. The
making Of the picture comes at an
acute coal crisis, and this clarion cal
for better conditions should be heed

if il wins with him it has a still bet
ter chance to continue a winning and
not losing party. Also, they have
succeeded in grating the idea on the
party mind the reverse OF that idea
when it comes to Chiffon. to wit, that
the chances of his losing the election,
should he be nominated. are just as
many and just as strong, II not more
so considering the present fractional
bitterness. as they were when he went
down to defeat before Sutherland two
years ago.
This has been a very taking argu
ment with the Democrats, for above
every other consideration II is clearly
apparent that they want to win this
year. and they are no captious about
their nominee so long as they have
faith in his being able to put II
over" With such a sentiment as that
going strong, added TO the powerful
organization that Watson has, it is
small wonder that hiS nomination is
regarded by the politicians as pretty
much OF a foregone conclusion.
There is no such party organization
lined up behind any one of the four
Republican senatorial candidates. A
united, well drilled and disciplined or.
ganization in that party is a faded
