West Virginia Democrats For Smith, Leader Says Predicts Governor Will Be Nominated After Not More Than Five Ballots. Charleston, W.

Nov. 17 per cent. of the Democrats in West Virginia are for Al Smith for the Democratic nomination President, according to C. W. Osenton, of Fayetteville, West Virginia member of the Democratic National Committee, who predicts that there will not be more than five ballots at the national convention and that Smith will be the choice of the party.

People are thinking and talking about nothing but prohibition, said the Democratic leader, and prohibition will be one of the major issues of the campaign. "Nearly everybody favors modification," he concluded, "although many people are afraid to speak above a whisper in mentioning it. I do not know that Governor Smith, as President, would to Congress a modification law, but I'll recommend, wager if Congress passed such an act he would sign it." Col.

APPROVAL HELD LIKELY Such Disposition Of Controversy May Have Bearing On W. Md. Road, It Is Suggested. Bureau of The Washington, Nov. the Interstate Commerce Commission sustains yesterday's report of its examiners in the Wheeling and Lake Erie case, such action would be regarded generally as official notice to the Eastern railroads that the fifth trunk-line plan was sound.

The report would bar from the Wheeling board representatives of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Nickel Plate and the New York Central on the general ground that the Wheeling should not be made an integral part of a three-system scheme at this stage, if at all. Approval Still Wanting. It is significantly pointed out by the commission's examiners that the Wheeling and Erie was made part of a fifth system in the original Ripley plan of consolidations, and it is now being sought by the LoreeTaplin interests as part of a system they would erect around the Wabash, the Lehigh Valley and the Pittsburgh and West Virginia. The report of the examiners, it should be remembered, has not been approved by the commission and has no force until it is so approved. But it is well known that the commission gives most serious consideration to the findings of its examiners and oftener than not concurs in them, particularly when two sit in a case, the Wheeling and Lake Erie hearing.

May Have Bearing On W. Md. In a few weeks the commission will pass finally on the question of the Wheeling's future, and if the three roads now having stock control of that line must surrender their holdings, those interests promoting the fifth trunk line undoubtedly would reach for it, observers here believe. Incidentally, such decision by the commission probably would have direct bearing on the future of the Western Maryland. The Rockefeller holdings in that road were taken over by the Baltimore and Ohio as part of the deal whereby the Van Sweringens gained control of the Wheeling, a control which these brothers divided with the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Central.

Should the commission find it inadvisable to turn over the Wheeling and Lake Erie to the Baltimore and Ohio, the Nickel Plate and the New York Central, either on the ground that it was illegally acquired or on the ground that it should be reserved as part of a fifth system, the same reasoning might be applied to the Western Maryland.
