The last week has been a propitious
one for the Democratic campaign
in this state. Eneouragements have
come to state headquarters from every
county. The Democratic leaders are

The strength of Cox and Roosevelt
in the state is daily growing, and the
party leaders at state Headquarters be-

ton day. West Virginia, above every
thing else, is not reactionary.
The progressive policies for which
Governor Cox and Mr.. Roosevelt stand
are taking with the people of this
state as the progressive policies of
Theodore Roosevelt, on different
ticket, took with them few years ago.
Arthur b. KOontz, Democratic nom
inee, is shown by information received
at state headquarters to have by far
the best chance of any of the three
candidate for election to the Office OF
Governor. This is not only the posi-
tive opinion of the Democratic leaders.
but Is admitted BY thousands of Re
publeans, some of whom supported
Morgan, and others who voted for
GrOsscup OF Montgomery.
The Democrats are positive of 1t.
first. because the whole Democratic
party in the state is united behind
him; second, because they believe the
vote of the women will be strongly in
his favor; third, because the Repub-
Leans are divided in their support Of
Morgan, on the regular Republican
ticket, and Montgomery, the independ-
ent Republican candidate and fourth,
because all classes of citizens can
vote for KOOntz knowing he is not
prejudiced against any Of them.
Republicans admit 1t, frst, because
there are many of them who will vote
for KOOntz, not beng reconciled to
the methods used I'm securing Morgan's
nomination second, because there are
others who do not think Judge Nor
gan has a chance Of election and are
afraid of Montgomery's alleged class
prejudices; and third, because there
are sdll others who do not believe Mr..
Montgomery can be elected and fear
Morgan's alleged obligations to GER

Jewell also told the direc- tor general the employees representa- tives believed that the controversy should go to the President again, inas- much as it was at the request of Mir. Wilson that the original demands had bee nheld in abeyance. Intimation also was given that since it was the senti- ment of the union men to employ all methods possible for an amicable set- tlement, they believed a review of the case by the President might provide means for further negotiations should they be necessary.
 Director General Hines remained at his desk~late tonight preparing the ad- ministration's side of the argument some of which had been presented yer bally during today's session. All ma- terial having a bearing on the contro- vedsy was expected to be sent to the White House as soon as compiled.
 owing to the conferences with the other union leaders, MT. Hines was un- able to meet today the committee rep resenting the maintenance of way em- ployes, headed by H. B. Malloy, vice president of the organization. The committee reached Washington today from Detroit after attending the con- vention there of committee chairmen who issued a call for a strike on Feb ruary IT.

He said there wa sa distinct movement in Mexico for a civilian president, as was manifest by Obregon's request that tho Senate refuse to confirm his military rank and com mission, and by the fact that Gonzales has obtained long leave of absence from the army to conduct his campaign as a civilian. MT. Bonillas also said that both Obregon and GonzalesN were good friends of his and as he was convinced that either would make a good president, if both would agree to abide by the re- suit of the election and not start q new revolution, he would not be a candidate, since his chief desire was to retire to private life.
