SUTHERLAND GANS 1S PRIVARY NEARS Ogden Seen as Main Contest- ant in West Virginia Contest. RACE GROWING BITTER With Being Ex-Demoérat and Foe of Roosevelt. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va, July 2 The lines for the primary election Tuesday to nominate candidates for the United States Senate, House of Representatives, state legislature and county offices are sufficiently well de- fined at this time to venture a fore- cast under the first two heads. Senator Howard Sutherland of El- kins and Herschel C. Ogden. Wheel- ing publisher and manufacturer, are the front runnevs in the republican senatorfal contest, with Ogden be- lieved by most observers to be con- siderably in the lead and the senfor senator from this state gaining on him at a rate that may place him on | equal terms or better befors the polls Tuesday Attorney Genéral A. A. Lilly and C. Fred Edwards of | tress factories. are close competitors for third position | by many of the party prophets, while | ive “Cous- | 1s known ail over the siate. a big ad- vantage over Edwards. He has mot been primed financially as well as Ogden and Edwards, and the late en- try of the latter w ened one of his strongest arguments—that the south- ern district of the state, with a popu- lation more than 100,000 greater than the northern district, has never had a Tnited States senator. Edwards is| sharing in this argument, and stress- ing it in his campaign. Jones Harding's Friend. The fifth republican candidate— Deacon M. F. Jones of Charleston— He is a sprightly young oid man. v approaching his eighty-first birthday anniversary and claims a_lifelong friendship with Dr. George T. Harding and his distin- xuished son. Deacon Jones is sald to own a farm in Ohio near Marion, and one in West Virginia. For many years he hae been selling school fur- nture Much bitterness is being engendered in the republican contest. and s bound to react unfavorably on the November el=ction. Lilly is especially severe in his criticiem of Ogden, charging that opponent under “four- teen points” with being an ex-demo- crat; with an editorial attack ‘Theodore Roosevelt, in which he leged to have said that “Roosevelt would be remembered in history as the most monumental liar and the su- preme hypocrite of the age”: with having arraigned the progessives in | 1912 4and 1916: with attacking the primary method of nominations: with opposition to the eight-hour law; with support of the state con- stabulary bill; with opposition to the soldier bonus, and much more. Senator Sutherland has been adding rapidly to his strength since he be- gan 2 personal canvass two weeks ago and reports generally are dis- tinetly favorable to his candidacy. Labor is opposing him largely be-. cause g{ his appointment of George McClintic as judge of the United States court for the southern di. trict of West Virginia, - The un- friendliness to Judge McClintic is because of his issuing injunctions in labor troubles mow prevalent in this state. Some of the old line repub- licans have furned against Suther- land on account of his voting against the seating of Newberry. Countering this opposition is Sen: tor. Sutherland's high standing, the prestige to the organization ac- cruing to his position, the support of the former service men and the benefit which his_seniority confers upon the state. Whatever shifting occurs from now on will mostly in-| ure to Sutherland's strength. l Edwards takes the position that the state needs a man of proved business ability to represent it In the naticnal Senate and that he would fill the bill. He also contends that he is the ‘only one of the five gandidates who could command the ull support of the pa Lalk day varty in the fall Labor Refuses to Follow. Perhaps the most important develop- ment of the past week was the disclos- ure that the efforts of Samuel B. Mont- gomery, former state labor commis- sioner and Non-Partizan Leagué can- didate for governor 1h 1920, to line up the lahor vote,.and more partic- larly the mine unionists, for Ogden, have collapsed. C. F. Keeney, presi- dent of the miners and the maln spoke in the Montgomery wheel, has turned a deaf ear to Montgomery's impassioned appeals. A number of local unions of miners and other craftsmen have adopted resolutions censuring Montgomery and condem ing the Ogden candidacy. In some | f stances these locals indorsed Lilly. At three big labor meetings held the first of the week at Clarksburg, Mor- gantown and Fairmont, Mrs. William Gay Brown, democratic candidate for nomination for United States sen: tor, and Edwards were indorsed. and Sutherland, Ogden and Lilly -disap- | proved. ® There are no specific issues in the | primary on the republican side. The strongest undercurrent concerns the new gross sales tax law, which Og-! den has opposed. and is opposinj along With his quite general oppos! tion to the state administratio; Despite his anti-administrat tude, Ogden is not friendleas in t direction. Several of the miost influ- | ential members of the statehouse circle, notably Waiter 8. Hallana ‘ state tax commissioner, are With hi Mre. Willlam Gay Brown of Kin, wood, widow of the Yate represent tive from the second district, who Is contesting with former Represent: tive Matthew M. Neely of Fairmont | for the democratic nomination for | United States senator, is gainin much ground, but it is not believ. that she can sufficiently overcome the prefudice existing against a woman eing . senato: In this contest the Chilton-Watson factions will divide largely, fe United States Senator C.

ADMINISTRATION RAPPED Republicans Join Democrats in Criticising Policy in Rail and Coal Crisis. Special Dispatch to The St INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 28.—Con- cern over the strike situation has not preventéd political activity by party leaders in the last week. It is said.| in fact, that there was so much do-; ing among the democrats that some of the close friends of Albert J. Bev- eridge, republican nominee for United States senator, were of the opinfon that it would be better for him to ireturi to Indiana at once and begin speech making. Others advised against it, and it is sald now that r. Beveridge wiil not get into the speech making for some time. Lawrence Lyons, republican state chairman, and Clarence Martin, chair- man of the state speakers' bureau, have been going over lists of speak- ers for the campalgn. It is expected a number of speeches will be made by Gov. McCray, Mayor Shank of Indianapolis and Senator Watson. Mr. Beveridge will be spcaking constantly after the campaign begins. Miss Etclka Rockenbach of New Albany is being talked of as the state director of republican women. Juage James A. Cox of Lawrence county has granted an injunction to prevent the third district democratic committee from selecting a candidate for Congres: The suit was brought by R. C. Brown, who was the runner- up in the primary contest. Leading democrats admit that they are greatly handicapped by the court proceedings in a distriet where they had been counting on victory. Unusual activity on the part of .the Ku Kt Klan in Indiana has been noted in the last week. One spéaker at an Indianapolis church, who de- fended the klan, also attacked Mayor Shank, republican, and Charles A. Bookwalter, former mayor and head of Mayor Shank's park board. At Richmond, Ind., the kian was bitterly denounced by Henry U. Johngon of Richmond, former congréssman from the sixth district. The first big event of the demo- cratic campalgn will be a barbecue in Indianapolis August 24. Samuel M, Ralston, democratic nominee for United States serator, will bé one of the speakers. Mr. Ralston has denied a report that in a recent speech at Brookvlille he criticized the manner in which President Harding has handled the strike. Mayor Shank In a speech this week criticized the way in which the na- tional administration has handled the rike situation. “Harding.” he sald, as taken a step in this coal strike in announcing that mines would be opened under protection of the gov- ernment, if necessary, that he will never be able to get over.” Mr. Shank i€ the second prominent Indiana re- publican who has directed criticism at the President in the present situa- tion, The other was John W. Mc- Cardle, chairman of the public serv- ice commission. In the fourth district George W. Johnson of Parkersburg, former counsel to the public service com- mission, will best former State Sena tor John D. Sweeney of Willlams- town in the same county, it is said. The closest contests are expected in the second district, where R. E. L. Allen, president of the Morgantown Chamber of Commerce, and former Mayor C. M. Seibert of Martinsburg are competing, and in the fifth dis- trict, where T. J. Lilly of Hinton and J. R. Pendleton of Princeton are fighting it out.
