heart had ceased to beat and his
life on earth was ended. His
family was unable to fix the cause
of his death, but think the cause
was probably acute indigestion or
heart trouble.

Jarrett, of Muddy Greek, this coun-
ty, two SonS-J. Aaron George, of
Richlands, and Ernest II. George, of

PRESIDENT MAY
NOT INDICATE
HIS 1920 CHOICE

WASHINGTON, June 17.-There
was growing belief among Demo
Gratis here today that the San Fran
cisco convention may begin and end
without any definite indication as
to who is President Wilson's choice
for Demqcratic presidential nomi-
nee.
The men who entertain this belfet
make no pretense Of knowing Mr..
Wilson's mind on the subject OF
candidates. They admit their theory
is based on what they believe the
president will regard as good po-
litical strategy and that 1t may be
knocked out at any moment.
Democrats point out, however, that
there are number Of presidential
possibilities acceptable to Mr.. vii,
son. For him to select any, one OF
them as his first choice would unite
convention and afterward all the
md without the Democratic party
they say.
On the other hand, politicians say
Francisco convention to run along
to a point where the nomination OF
some one man could be- easily &C.
complished. He could then quietly
pass the word to his followers tc
swing the administration backing tc
that man. If that course were fol.
lowed the presidential decision would
probably not be known except to q
