WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. S.
Whether or not former Com

WASH1NGION,3 u. S.- <Aue. y.
Whether or mot former Con-
gresham NJ. NJ. Nicely Demo
cratic nominee for q. S. Senator
In West Virginia. will adhere in
the regular campaign to the
course he chartered Tor his pri-
mary campaign, is being discussed
today by State politicians in the
National Capitol
In his primary-campaig play
ing for votes within his own party
solely, Nicely took Woodrow VII :
son and all the 1gWiison rclicieS.
whatever they may be, hook, line
and sinker, vowing TO do all that,
federal government to a Wilson
ian basis, complete the entire,
Alpha to Omega. soup to nuts.
Where he pulled out all the loud
stops on the big organ for every
thing Wilsonian from Mitchell
Palmer to the League of Nations,
Izetta Jewell Brown. played ths
soft petal most deftly and gently
What she had to say about Wilso n
and the Wilsonian policies and
proteges, she said it with smiles,
not words. and let it go at that
And Izetta gave the. politicians a
2OO0-volt shock by coping over
80, 900 good old-fashioned Demo
cratic votes.
The question being discussed Is
what proportion Of Mrs. Browns
votes were motivated by opposi-
ton TO the Reclusc of S. street.
and how deeply imbedded in stern
conviction is that proportion. The
politicians are OF the opinion that
answering this question correctly
is OF more vital concern to Candi-
date Nicely than to any other indi-
vidua. In working t out, they
point to the outcome of the Reed
Long fight in Missouri, where
Wilson. wisconsin. Wilson poll
cies from the League of Nations
to the cost-plus prof1teering of the
wartime loot era Were such para
mount issues that they kept the
Democrats of the Ozark Noun
tains awake at nights and their
hound dawgs soulfully baying at
the moon. The verdict written by
the Democrats in thu state was
decidedly more emphatic than
that inscribed by Mrs. Browns
10000 supporters in West Viz
ginia.
Will Nicely go through in his
regular campaign With what he
started out with and got by with
in his campaign fer the nomina-
ton? That's the question state
politicians are toying with today
Can he afford not to do SO? Can
he afford to do soy He had the
backing in the primary OF the
Chiffon wing of the party because
he proclaimed Wilson and wilson
ism sacrosanct, scarcely short Of
inspired, and heart and soul for
their restoration. He didn't have
the hacking of the Watson faction
of his party because of 1t. Mrs.
Brown got their support.
It is freely admitted by politi-
clans of Major Necly's own party
that he finds himself confronted
with a most vital dilemma. 1t is
also conceded by them that this
problem is accompanied by an
other almost as great and having
a close kinship. 1t is this: In
the person of Senator Sutherland
he has an opponent whose popu-
larity with Republican voters in
West Virginia has for the eighth
time in nine years-in three gen.
