Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLESTON, W. Va., August 19.— ~—Woodrow Wilson is to figure prom- inently in the campaign in West Vir- ginia this fall if the indications seen at the democratic state judicial and piatform convention held here this week are carried out.

The following telegram was d patched to the former President: “The democratic party of West Vir- ginia. in convention assembled, ex- tends grectings and felicitations to its great leader. At our recent popu- lar primary we nominated a candidate for United States senator and six candidates for Congress who are en- thusiastically and unanimously in harmony with the principles of prac- tical idealism that charcterized your brilliant administration. We predict a triumph of your ideals at the polls in November,” and we pledge our every effort toward that end.” In reply. the former President sent the following message: “I am greatly cheered and gratified by the generous message just ceived from the democrats of Wei Virginia and am proud to be associ- ated with those who are organized in %0 hearty = spirit of co-operation for the promotion of the ideals upon which liberty and enlightened gov- ernment in all parts of the world de- pends.

If we encourage that sort of organization. I warn you. the party is facing storms, for there will come a time when a sex war within the party will take place.” The republican convention, which was one of the most harmonious in years. was attended by Senator How- ard Sutherland. nominee for re-elec- tion, and ali six representations. with the exception of Representative Stuart F.

Hatfleld. former governor, in the keynote address, attacked the record of the democratic party under the Wilson administrations and laud- ed the administration of President Harding and Gov. E. F.

He advocated repeal of the primary law and a return to the convention method of making nominations, and | also urged repeal of the state budget fow, whllv;'h vos;s in the executive offi- | cers authority for the fixing of appro- priations. This was characterized as “highly impracticable.” and he thought the authority should be re- stored to the legislative branch of the government. Many Attend Convention. Both conventions were largely at- tended, more than 1,000 delegates being present. Unique in political convention history in the state was the democratic gathering. After ef- fecting organization in the county courthouse, because of the crowded condition, the convention adjourned to an outdoor session, which was held on the M. C.

TARIFF CAMPAIGN ISSUEIN INDIANA Democrat Senatorial Nom- inee Also Assails ‘State Expenses. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 19.— Politics opened up in dead earnest in Indiana this week with speeche: in different parts of the state by party leaders. Also an idea was gained for the first time as to the issues that are to be emphasized. It Appears certain that the tariff and the expenses of the Indiana state ad- ministration are two questions that are to be stressed throughout the campaign. Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nomin for United States® senator, in two speeches touched on both the “tariff and the state administration. one speech be- ing delivered at Farmersburg and the other at Flora.

BALTIMORE Md. August There is at least one burglar heré who belleves that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Robert Munger was in the dining room - of his home at 1519 Mount Royal avenue last night and sud- denly looked up into the muzazle of a revolver. “Shut up and put your money and your watch on the table.’ said a voice behind the gun. He did. The burglar picked up the watch and pocketbook. After counting the contents of the pocketbook he threw both ba the table with the remark: t ain't enough to get me to Philadelphia” and disappeared through the window. COLORADO PRIMARY IS LIVELY 19.— in Congressional and Gubernatorial Races. TAYLOR HAS HARD FIGHT G. 0. P. Factions Unite in Fourth District, Hoping to Defeat Democratic Veteran. DENVER, Col.,, August 19.—All con- gressional de¢signations in Colorado have been made for the state pri- maries on September 12 and all indi- cations point to a lively battle. In the first district, comprising the city of Denver, William N. Vaile. present rcpresentative and a republi- can, was renominated without oppo- sition. In the democratic assembly three were designated. James A Marsh, ciiy attorney, and Benjamin F. Hilliard and George F. Kindel. both former representatives. were named. Marsh is one of the younger men, widcly known attorney and Is considered one of the coming men in the party. In the assembly Hilliard was bit- terly assailed for his opposition to Wilson and the world war, he being a representative at that tim Kin- del will be with the “wets” and he is quite widely known over the coun- try for his ight upon freight and ex- press rates. He wants to get back in Washington. he says, to carry on his war on the railroads and expres: companies. The general impression is that Marsh will be the winner. Ozman Op Timberlake. In the second district Charles B. Timberlake. present republican rep- resentative. was unanimously desig- nated in the assembly. Roscoe Ozman, a farmer, on August 12 flled a petition to run against_Timberlake. There is no question of Timberlake's winning in the primartes. The demo- crats have a lively fight on. The party assembly designated Dr. C. M Worth of Yuma and Judge Harry S. Class of Brighton. Both are strong men and widely known in the dis- trict. In the third district the republi- cans renominated, without opposition. Representative Guy U. Hardy, while the democrats nominated Chester B. Horn of Colorado Springs. chairman of his county central committee. Vincent Fights Taylor. In the fourth district, comprising the western slope of the Rocky moun- tains and having twenty-thrée cou ties in the district, the democrats unanimously designated Edwargd T. Taylor, who has represcnted the dis- trict since 1915 and who prior to that time had been congressman at large. The republicans have designated Merle C. Vincent, a Grand Junctioh lawyer. to Taylor. but at that time consid- erable feeling had beén engendered in the primaries. when Webster S. Whinnery, a stock grower of Lake City, ran _against Vincent in the pri- maries. This year Whinnery stepped aside when the assembly met, assert- ing that he was too true a republi- can to cause another primary battle. He also is going into the fight fur; Vincent. The struggle in the primaries for zovernor is Intense in both parties The democrats have three candi- dates—Fred A. Sabin, a La Junta lawyer; Dr. B. L.

Special Dispatch to The Sta: BALTIMORE. August 19.—William Cabell Bruce the last entry In the thr democratic senatorial primary race, appears to have the edge so far., with former Senator John Walter Smith, the recognized leader of the state democracy. and the city leader: indo! . Bruce's candidacy, and with the addi- tional advantage of the veteran poli- ticlan, Carville D. Benson. as man- ager, the prospects for Bruce's suc- cess in the impending primary con- test 4re growing brighter. Senator Smith in a public statement this week declared that he will sup port Mr. Bruce, the senator's pronouncement is regarded as prac- tically assuring Mr. Bruce the sup- port of the state organization. While Dr. J. Hubert Wade, chair- man of the state central committee. has been working for the nomination of David J. Lewis before the en- trance of Mr. Bruce, it is understood that, following the indorsement of Senator Smith, he will fall in line behing the candidacy of Mr. Bruce. John M.

Following the lead of the other candidates, Mr. Bruce this week de- clared himself in favor of modific: tion of the Volstead act. This practi- ally makes all three of the demo- cratic candidates favorable to. the nodification of the prohibition law. Summarized these are the princi- -andidates. Willlam Cabell Bruce—Substitution for the Volstead act of a measure al- lowing. under federal supervision. the free use of light wines and beers. A generous attitude toward republi- an Germany.

Approval of the league of nation: William 1. Norris—Modification of the Volstead act. _Full political rights for women. Preservation of srinciples of local self-government. Ritchie's Stand Doubtful. While Gov. Ritchle is known, or at known, to be favorable to acy of State Senator Wil- . Norris, before the entrance of . Bruce. just what action he will take, if any, in tl three-cornered primary is still problematical. In spite of his somewhat heretical doctrine “stimulation without in- toxication,” the Anti-Saloon League will probably be for former Repre- sentative David J. Lewis. The ind! cations are that the bulk of the “dry” votes in the democratic pri- mry will be for Lewis, and that. should he be nominated, he will re- ceive the support of the dry element in the state.
