Letter from France.

Chas. F. Peard has received the fol-
lowing letter from Private Ed. c. Star
key in France: My Dear Friend
Charles: have been wondering this
rainy Sunday what you and my dear
old Warrington friends were doing.
hope you are all we'll and enjoying
yourselves. The day has been many
days long to me. It has rained all day.
in fact 1t has rained every day for al
most the past month where am NOW.
guess it must be the rainy season.
One nice thing, the streets and roads
are all paved and we don't have much
mud toTcontend with. The French are
sure up to date when 1t comes to
streets and roads. They have work
men on them all the time repairing
and cleaning the mud ffthem pre-
sumo you are reading OF President
Wilson's tour Of France. A part OF
our brigade (320th Infantry had the
honor Of helping escort him from
Brest to Paris. They were also in the
big parade which took place in Paris
shortly after his arrival there. Some
of the boys in Co. A, 315th M. G. bri-
gade, my company, we're fortunate
enough to see the parade. They said
| It was a wonderful parade. Well,
Charles, wish knew when we could
sail for the States. Still guess it
lis best for US not to know. am not
home sick but would like very much
to be back in civil life and among my

take a long time to put two million
men across and Of course our division
can't go until their turn comes. |
think we were about the fifth or sixth
division to land in France. II they
take ups back in rotation to the way
we came across, it shouldn't be later
than March or April. OF course we
hear all kinds Of rumors as to when
we will sail but don't put any stock
in them. Our present conditions are
far from the comforts Of home, and
again they are a palace beside tho
trenches, so for my own part am
very we'll satisfied. / thank God that
my life has been spared, and that /
am enjoying good health, which means
all to one in army life, and / think I
have been very fortunate. have only
had about five sick days during my
lnine months in service. You will no.
,, tice am using X. Of G. stationery.
The people Of the good old U. S. A.
must hand it to this organization, for
their service to the American soldiers
in France. They certainly have done
wonderful work. Well Charles, as
news is rather scarce l will close and
try and write you again, soon Ever
your friend, ED G. STARKEY.

lin doing secure a third nomination
from his party. That may mean ac-
Iquiescence in the idea or 1t may not;
1t may mean that 1t is hardly worth
lraising until 1t Is seen what the Pres
ident intends.
With the President out Of the run
ming, the opinion of the politicians In
the capital is that his son-in-law. for
mer Secretary McAdoo, will be de-
cidedly strong factor in his party's
politics. With the administrator
active and enthusiastic backing, 1t is
conceded generally that McAdoo
would be q favorite in the betting.
The wisest move he.is credited with
making looking to the nomination
was resigning when he did. II his
tentative candidacy is cleverly camou-
haged SO as to make it appear like a
spontaneous demand from the party
1t is readily seen that the President
would consider himself freed from
any embarrassment in getting behind
his son-tn-law with the whole admin.
istration works and nominating him.
AS to Speaker Champ Clark-there
isn't doubt in the minds Of any poll.
tician In Washington that he has IL
very much uppermost in his mind to
again be candidate.
West Virginias here discussed
much Col. G. w. Watson's advocacy
In Fairmont interview Of West vir.
ginia Democrats organizing and put
ting forward favorite-son candidate
In the person Of Ambassador John w.
Davis. Should anything come Of 1t,
and success from it, it would not be
the first time in the history OF the
country's politics that political par
ty went to the Court Of st. James for
It's presidential nominee. Aside from
the appropriateness Of Col. Watson's
suggestion, West Virginians in Wash.
ington. Democrats especially, see the
implication that Col. Watson may be.
come active, organize Davis boom,
launch 1t, and himself aspire to good
fortune in the larger field and more
important game Of president-making.
They say that he isthe one Democrat
available in West Virginia to under
take this pretentious political propo-
sition, and they express the hope
that he will If the situation should
develop into an inviting one to him
from the standpoint Of His suggestion.
It is not the first time it has been
heard in Washington, although it
may be the first time for West West
Virginiat bu; coming from man OF
the high standing and influence Of
Colonel Watson The suggestion Of
Ambassador Davis name takes on
weight.
AS the important center Of politics
has shifted further to the west, West
Virginia in the future is likely to cut
q figure. In the geography Of politics
1t would appear that it has edged
into more important position on the
map. This changed state of affairs
may have been in Colonel Watson's
mind when b /, gave out his interview
advocating Ambassador Davis. A
similar thought may have likewise
inspired suggestion written by one
Of his constituents last week to Con
gresham Stuart F. Reed that the
time looked ripe for West Virginia
Republicans to make bid for ma
tional party honors. The vice presi-
dental nomination, the writer said,
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-02-03

seemed worthy priiEe Is S. liter.
and he knew az no better nor more
logical man to rally to and roganize
for and 60 after the second biggest
plum on the ticket than Senator How
ard Sutherland.
It would indeed be interesting
should West Virginia next year have
two candidates for national party
nominations, one for the presidency
in the person OF Ambassador Davis,
the other for the vice presidency in
the person Of Senator Sutherland.
Stranger things have happened in
our national politics.

 If you have approved of my leadership and wish to nue your unbaassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad earnestly beg that you will express yourself unmistak ably that effect by returning Democratic majority to both the and the house of representatives"
 spite of the political value in such appeal from president the people, Republican majority returned the and the house of representatives.
 The president also said The Republican major y either house of the congress would be nterp atve the other side of the water repudacn of my leadership"
 The Republicans answered they with the president the the fuest lengths he could but that they were with him peace and upon this issue the people elected Republican and Republican house of representatives If the people had elected Democratic house and the president undoubtedly would gone abroad with the assertion that his policies had the expressed approval of the American naton May say that going abroad he does carry the approval o the people stamped his policies It his prediction that such the issue be decided The decision against him.
