Especial to The West Virginianl
WASHINGTON, D. C., July o.
L was announced here today by a
man who stands high in the leader,
ship of the Democratic party ln
West Virginia, that the State com.
mittee OF that party Will be called
to meet before the end. OF the
month. The date will be set az
soon as the delegation to the ma,
,tional convention, headed by Col.
CIV. Watson at Governor Com.
well, arrives home.
Plans for the campaign In West
Virginia will be formulated, q new
chairman selected to succeed c.
L. Shaver, who may be a candidate
to succeed himself, headquarters
ordered established and opened
up, and a new member Of the ma.
tional committee elected. c. W.
Osenton, Of Fayetteville, Is tenn
porarily filling the place, which
was made vacant by the death Of
Col. John T. McGfaw.
From the same high authority
it Is learned that Col. Watson will
probably be given the opportunity
Of accepting or declining the posi-
ton. He held It at one time, re-
signing when he became a candf
date for the United States Senate
in 1918, and being succeeded by
Col. McGraw.
Il do not know that Col. Watson
wants the position" said the In.
'formant, "but | think that the com.
mittee will urge him to accept It.
There Is a strong sentiment for
him. It is generally recognized In
the party that he has the means
to take the job, which is honorary
but OF great importance and influ.
ence, at the same time being q de-
cidedly expensive honor. In add.
ton to that he has the ability and
Is In closer touch and cooperation
with the leaders Of our party now
and the rank and file Of our voters
than he ever was. He possesses
a talent for executive direction and
organization, and has the conf.
dence Of our party now in the full.
est measure. It Is the desire Of
the Democrats Of the state that be
take a leading part In their party's
campaign, and l believe that he will
do Il. There Is an added reason
why he should. Our young candi.
