.wammm.NEITHER PARTY SUREWEST VIRGINIA POLITICIAN'S AT

SEA ON PRESIDENCY.

/Special Correspondence or The Star.

WHEELING. W. Va., June 29. 1907.Although there has been considerable discussionof a scattering nature regarding

West Virginia's sentiment on presidentialcandidates, nothing has developed so farIn either the republican or democratic partiesto give the observer a definite line.It seems to be a safe bet that the democraticdelegation or the major part thereofwill be for Bryan. About all the republicansmentioned for presidential honorshave their followings, and at this s'age Itlooks like the state could ba captured bythe aspirant who would put up a stifffight for it. The upshot of It. however,promises to be that West Virginia will.send to the next republican convention anInstructed Roosevelt delegation.This is despite the President's election

night pronouncement. Some^ Taft sentimenthas been displayed, which was givenprominence with tho report that Gov. Dawson,Representative Hubtard and RepresentativeSturgiss have decided to supportthe War Secretary. But this sentimentwas not so pronounced among the rankand file as to awaken particular enthusiasm,while the politicians as a cla.-s appearto be Indifferent or waiting. Mlcawber-like,for something to turn up.Owing to the agitation relative to corporatetaxation in this state for three or

four years the chances of a so-called re-action are not supernciany Drignt. itIs to be noticed that there ia a dispositionIn West Virginia to put Senator Knox Inthis class, and in this effort those who aresuspected of Taft leanings pla«r a conspicuousparf. It Is not at all unlikely thatthere will be a division among the republicanson the presidential proposition whichwill duplicate the alignments on the governorshipsituation three years ago.

The Old Alignment.In the main those who supported Oov.

Dawson for the nomination will be forTaft, while those who supported CharlesP. Teter will be for Knox. A division onthese lines again does not Indicate that1the faction successful three years agowould be successful again by any means,since there would- be wheels within wheelsand other twlstlnars. IThe Moundsvllle Chautauqua has a conditionalpromise from Secretary Taft that

he will made an address there the Fourthof July, and If he makes his appearancesome line may be got on the local strengthto be attached to his boom. Taft Is notany more popular In West Virginia thanKnox is, or Fairbanks, or any of the otherprobable candidates, simply because noneof them has yet attempted to cultivatethe field. Virtually the only Idea of theirprospective strength Is in the popular classificationof them as they stand with respectto President Roosevelt's principalpolicies.Certain state leaders say it is more than

likely that In some of the West Virginiadistricts delegations will be sent to the..UU 4.- -i-x

UUIITCIUIUU mm uiaiiuununs lO VOIO IOrRoosevelt again. This policy appears to besatisfactory to both those who are clamorousfor a successor to Roosevelt who willbe considered a second edition of himselfand those who think there have been enoughagitation, regulation and legislation alongRooseveltian lines. Should It thus happenthat both sides agree to work on themagic of Roosevelt's name the outcome ofWest Virginia's position will not be disclosedAnally until the scene is shifted tothe national convention.

It will not be surprising if the federalomcenoiaers are round later coupled upwith most of the so-called stats machinefor Taft. The evident lack of Impetus tosuch a movement does not assure wild enthua'asm.however, and if the combine laeffected It may suffer for want of unanimityor earnestness, so that recourse will behad to Instructed Roosevelt delegates with

Democratic Leanings.Henry G. Davis was the first to put In a

word for Judge Gray of Delaware amongthe democrats. Gen. C. C. Watts was thenext to put a crimp In Bryan by eulogizingSenator Daniel.

movement of three years ago can hanily beduplicated again.

It ia an open secret that those In controlof th3 democratic organization have no

sympathy with Bryan, but inasmuch asthe leaders of the minority party are principallylawyers who held briefs from b-gcorporations or who are legislative representativesof corporations, their influenceis not far-reaching. Only by some slickwork can an anti-Bryan delegation be securedin West Virginia and not in all th;rive districts at tnat. rne conventions tnaichoose the delegates entail considerablecost, which Item discourages the attendanceof the rank and file, but they are sowedded to Bryan and have become sofamiliar In late years with misrepresentationsby their accepted leaders that theywill not stand for a repetition of the Parkerfiasco.Henry G. Davis oa the ticket did not fill

up the gap then, and his voice now speakingfor Judge Gray falls on deaf ears. ExSenatorDavis is loved as West Virginia'sgrand old man, and there are those In hisparty who would agree to boom him fora>AVApnnr nAtwUhatanHInO' his AilvAfin^dage, but they politely disagr.e with hispresidential preferences. A year ago Col.John T. McGraw and Will E. Chilton,leaders of the two factions, thought Bryanwag a good man to run for his vota-drawlngeffect.
