to take a chance in any kind Of

uncharted and has never been used
for airplane flights before and the
officials at Washington were un-

quarters. He was accompanied from

chieftain and the party which accom-
panied him to Clarksburg for the

splendid start with his acceptance
speech in the old home town.
Set Up Machinery First
Selection Of the machinery for han
ding the western campaign is the first
matter to be taken up by Shaver,
Brennan, ct al, today. It is not un-
likely that Democratic activities from
