Charleston tonight is the Mecca of the pollticians West Virginia. From every section of the state the leaders of both Republican and Democratic parties have been pouring into capital, While Sunday and Monday will increase the number and bring in the rear guard the members of the Legislature who in no hurry to assemble for the were scheduled 45-day session. The advance squad was comprised largely of politicians who were either candidates for some place at the hands the two branches of the Legislature were here to assist some friendly candidate in attaining the coveted, place. Candidates galore are in the field for the best places at the disposal of the solong and the contest over the organization of both branches will be sharp and short. Senator Edwin E.

England of Logan county, twice the choice of his party for the presidency of the Senate and again a candidate for that position, was the first of the State Senators to arrive here and open headquarters. The Logan Senator came over from Welch, where he had made a quiet visit to the home of Senator James A. Strother in quest of the vote of the McDowell Senator. Senator England, who is frienly with the state administration, is confident of his nomination at the caucus of the Republican members of the State Senate to be held on Tuesday night. He believes that he now has a sufficient number of votes to win.

and, while he continues to press his claims among his colleagues and will until the night of the caucus. England predicts that he will again be the caucus nominee of his party. The Logan Senator is now closing his second consecutive term as a member of the State Senate and he has always, in previous sessions of the Legislature, wielded much influence on Republean side of the chamber. Candidate Third Time. Twice he was selected, when the State Senate was a politicai tie, as the choice of the Republicans for the presidency and twice the Democrats in the Senate refused to accept him.

Senator Oliver S. Marshall of Hancock county also is active in behalf his candidacy for the presidency and is contended by a majority of the politiclans that the trend of the contest is favor of the silvery-haired statesman from. the upper Panhandle. According to the figures of his political friends the Hancock veteran comes the scene of the contest with more actual votes than any of the contestants. He has been making a vigorous campaign and is acquainted with the political situation from every angle.

Besides, he has number of strong supporters who have given him strong support for several weeks. Among these are S. C. Denham and Virgil L. Highland, the Harrison county pair of leaders who have been active in Republican politics for a dozen years.

Although the rumor has been broadcast that Gov. Hatfield was friendly the candidacy of Senator England, Senator Marshall had made no anti-administartion fight for the presidency. On the contrary he is on intimate terms with the several members of the state administration and some of his friends have solicited the support of Gov. Hatfield. State Senator A.

Bliss McCrum Preston county, who started out in the race with brilliant prospects for success. still retains the opinion that he is the choice of a majority of the Republican State Senators and he will enter the CauCuS with confidence that his colthe leagues will eventually turn to him choice for the presidency. The Preston man has the firendship of the political leaders of the many would state who be found behind his they were more confident in his candidacy ability There are only two candidates the clerkship of the State Senate. T. Harris of Parkersburg, who has been 3 fixture as the clerk: of that body for 20 years, is again a candidate.

Ho will be opposed by Jake Smith, former prosecuting attorney of Lincoln county. Both are here on the ground with their friends. According to the local politicians the of contest Delegates over the speakership of the House has narrowed down to Col. Vernon E. Johnson of Morgan county and A.

E. Scherr of Kanawha county, with Col. Mike H. Duty of Ritchie county probably holding the balance of power. W.

W. Hughes of McDowell remains in the race. but the disposition of the delegates in the lower house to make him the maPrity floor leader is apparent. It is an easy method of smothering his ambition. Col.

Johnson, whose activities in the fight were curtailed during the past week by the death of his wife, has been a most aggressive candidate for the speaker's place. Johnson and Scherr served in the 1913 session and were the closest friends. They still remain friendly, although each is an aspirant for the same honor. Both are young men and capable of making good records for themselves. The entry of several candidates, however, in the caucus may lead to a deadlock and the probable selection of a dart horse.

While Johnson has been active and is said to have a number of votes in his belt. he comes from a section of the state where there are few Republican delegates. On the other hand Delegate Scherr leaves home with a squad of five votes in his home delegation. The latter also has the advantage of having his Indians on the ground, The contest over the clerkship in the House dovetails into the speakership fight. Mont Topping of Charleston hails from the same county as Scherr and he has been active in his quest of the place where he served twice before.

Two Factions at Odds. Topping has been confident that he would land the position, but the politiclans figure that his chances are heightened if the speakership goes to some other county rather than Kanawan. Hence there is feud on between the friends of Scherr and the supporters of Topping. John Guy Prichard of Fairmont has been the most active of the candidates opposing Topping. Prichard was the clerk of the House at the last session and is also a campaign artist.

He Is making his contest on the ground that he is entitled to another term. Edgar R. Staats of Wood county was the first of the candidates for the clerkship to arrive in the city and set up headquarters. He is from the Fourth District, which has the largest number of Republican delegates among the congressional districts, and if he is successful in garnering the entire crop of legislators in his district, as he believes he has, he will be an important factor in deciding the contest. What strength is possessed by M.

Stanley Hodges, the Fendleton county Republican leader, is unknown at this time, but two years ago when a candidate for the clerkship Hodges was beaten in the caucus of only one vote. For several sessions he has been the reading clerk in either the House of Delegates or the State Senate. Much interest is centered in the expected arrival here tomorrow or Monday ef former Senator Davis Elkins and Tanae T. Mann of Mercer county, two of the Republican leaders of West Virginia, both of whom have been exceedingly liberal in their support of the Republican party. They have always been numbered among the heaviest contributors to the grand old party, but neither has held public office with the exception of the short period Senator Elkins served in the United States Senate as the successor of his father.

Candidates Are Friendly. Two years ago Mann and Elkins were opponents in the quest of a senatorial toga and their friends remained so steadfast that a deadlock ensued, which WAS ended only on the final dav of the session when Nathan Goff of Clarksburg was called from the Federal bench and gent 10 the Senate. The two stalwart Republicans, however, remained friendly with each other and upon their arrival here they NEW YORK'S NEWEST PALACE AND TWO OLDER ONES. 1-The Charles M. Schwab home, Riverside drive.

cost $5,000,000 and occupies the square between Seventieth and Seventy-first streets, where the old Lenox library stood for many years. Mr. Friek's new mansion is considered to be principally notable for the following features: Its cost, area, design and gallery. It will be the second most valuable private dwelling in the city. There are only two other residences with a block frontage, namely, the Carnegie house, in upper Fifth avenue, and the Schwab house, In Riverside drive.

The design of the Frick house is plain, yet homelike. Another distinctive feature besides the art gallery will be a sunken pool, 60 feet long by 15 feet wide, which, at the square foot rate paid for the property by Mr. Frick, will cost for the ground alone $86,000. Senator Clark's home at Seventy-second street and Fifth avenue, which is the most expensive mansion in the city, cost between $6,500,000 and $7,500,000. The house is on a plot with a frontage of 200.10 feet and a depth of 175 feet.

Mr. Frick paid $2,400,000 for the property. The general style of the house is in the Italian Renaissance, with here and there a hint of French and Colonial architecture, molded together to give an effect at once simple, dignified and homelike. The house is 75 feet from the avenue, with the exception of that part covered by the art gallery, at the northerly end. The art gallery is 100 by 35 feet, and is one and one -halt stories high.

Its westerly wall will be almost flush with the high wall that is to extend around the entire premises. The building proper is three stories high, with an attic. The main entrance to the house and gallery is from Fifth avenue. Opening on to the main entrance is an and drawing room on either side. A living hall in the center extends clear immense hall, with a large library house, and in the back of it, within easy access, will be built an interior garden.

PARTY POLICY IS OUTLINED Governor to Be Inaugurated Tomorrow With Public Ceremonies and Reception.

TELEGRAM TO GAZETTE COLUMBUS, Jan. retiring called the House of Clerk J. R. Cassidy Representatives to order this week he could not find a gavel, so he cried lustily for a tack hammer. The hammer was produced thereby furnished a slogan for the ed session: "Hammer and The hammer is to be used on the Cox laws, tact is to be exercised than but more was put to use by the Democratic administration, now in its last throes.

The General Assembly convened last Monday and Gov. F. B. Willis will be inaugurated tomorrow. Then the Republicans will get under way, with a determination restore economy in publie and to remove from the grasp of affairs the chief executive the power which was delegated to him by the Democratic Legislature at Gov.

Cox's behest, This week the two houses organized, but litle business besides that was done. The Republicans thought they would have lively time organizing the two houses, a but the caucus nominees were put through without trouble and then, thanks the Democratic-Bull Moose State Civil to Service Commission, a way was pointed out by which all the minor offices could without recourse to the civil be filled service lists which the Democrats have been very careful to see have been filled with Democrats. Had these minor ofup ficials been appointed it would have been necessary to select them from civil service lists, but inasmuch as they were elected and become officers of the state the civil service was ignored. Minor Officiais Elected. This way was pointed out by the State Civil Service Commission and, while Democratic leaders did not like it very well, they could not prevent it.

All the minor officials were elected as assistant clerks or assistant sergeantsat-arms and now the laws will have 1 to be revamped to arrange their pay accordingly. The Democrats were given more offices than are usually allotted to the minority, but it is pointed out that most of the Democrats honored are members of the True Democracy League which opposed Gov. Cox and helped Gov. Willis in the recent campaign. There is talk that many of these True Democracy Democrats will vote with the Republicans in the passing of emergency legislation in order that the Cox faction may not be able to invoke the referendum on new laws which the Republicans are anxious to put into effect at once.

The civil service question gives promise of being one of the most troublesome to come before the Legislature because of the fact that the lists have been filled with Democrats and that, under this brand of civil service, the Republicans would be almost powerless to act. For instance, Gov. Willis himself, under the present laws, will be able to appoint only two or three members of his large office staff, the rest of the employes being Democrats, who, if they were so disposed, could be of great service to Democratic leaders on the outside. However, inasmuch as an under employe can be removed for cause without trial, Willis will find it an easy matter to dispose of the undesirables, but when he does that he will have to go back to the civil service again and may run another chance of picking out a Democrat who would be just as offensive. The Legislature sat down this week on the proposition of Dr.

Hoy, representative from Jackson county, that it suspend the civil service laws, as he says it has a rigut to do, just as the Democrats suspended for whole year the constitutional civil service. Republican leaders declare this would be a little rough on the Democrats--this word "rough" is said to have come from Gov. Willis--and then they do not want to appear as scrambling for public jobs. It has been decided to wait patiently and let the civil service problem solve itself. Many prominent officeholders will be permitted to serve until their terms are out, while in other instances the commissions will be quietly legislated out of existence in the general program of cutting down expenses and decentralizing power.

SO that the Democrats on them will lose out and all the employes under them will go too. Just now a lively fuss is on over the appointment of Christian Pabst of Hamilton to a place on the Tax Commission. Pabst's name was not sent to the Senate this week by Gov. Cox with his other recess appointments because, he holds, confirmation is not necessary under the Hollinger amendment to the Langdon tax law. Fuss Over One Job.

The Republicans declare that confirmation is necessary and they will set about to pry Pabst away from his soft berth in the state service. Pabst was appointed a member of the Tax Commission by Gov. Cox for a three-year-term on February 15, 1914. There has been a mixup of some kind in amending the Langdon law and as a result Pabst's job hangs in the balance. There is no doubt that he will have to go sooner or later, however, for if the Republicans cannot get him by the confirmation route they will flank him by legislating his job out of existence.

The recess appointments which Cox sent to the Legislature this week were read with much respect by the members of the Senate, with just about as much respect. it may be said, as they paid to his message. The message was filed and the appointments will be referred to a committee, which will no doubt turn them over to Mr. Willis, and that will be the last of them. Cox played this trick with Gov.

Harmon's appointments, and they were Democrats, too, so he cannot find any fault with the Republican administration if it kindly but firmly drops his selections into the waste basket. Governor-elect Willis in his inaugural address Monday and his message to the Legislature will deal with the liquor question in a perfunctory way, but the members of the Senate Temperance Committee, who will all be "dry," will insist that he point out the way for saloon legislation. The Republicans are pledged to take the saloon out of politics and especially to remove it as a source of political power for the governor. Willis is determined that this be done, but at the same time he may insist that the police powers of the executive be enlarged in order that he may see that the liquor laws are enforced. even in those districts where the sentiment is strongly in favor of the saloon, such as Cincinnati and Cleveland.

Military organizations will predominate in the inaugural parade Monday afternoon. Political clubs from all over the state are coming. however and riding clubs and fraternal organizations will have a large part. The medical department of the Ohio National Guard, with a full equipment, is expected to attract much interest. This organization is said to be one of the best in the United States.

It has seldom appeared in public and the people are little acquainted with it. Gov. Willis will be sworn in at noon. Then will follow a reception for public officials. This will be folowed by the parade and then will come the public reception, which will last as long as anyone cares to call to shake hands with the new executive.

Willis is especially anxious that it continue until nightfall, so that workingmen on their way home from the factories and shops may drop in to see him. The grandstand which heretofore has been reserved mostly for dignitaries and their families will be equally divided between public officials and the common people. Election Decides Postmastership.

The railroads seem to be about the only one of the big interests of the state wnich will escape being drawn and quartered in the event of the success of the plans of some of the politicians who want the big interests to bear additional burdens of taxation. The fact that there is no agitation at this time to increase the taxes of the railroads is due to the reason that they are now the biggest taxpayers in the state, their taxes for the past being 019 37. Since 1910 the taxes of the railroads have increased from 32. Although there are no differences at this time between the state and the railroads, an effort will be made at the ensuing session to pass a full crew bill, a maximum car limit bill and an experience bill, measures which the railroads will combat because of the additional expense illvolved.

The railroads of the state have estimated that a full crew bill will inpose an additional expense of $3,000,000 for operation. This amount, the railroads urge, would be expended without increasing the safety of the public or improving transportation facilities and would work a hardship on the public. Last November, they recount, a full crew bill submitted by referendum to the Missouri voters WAS defeated by 164,000 majority. Blue Has New Scheme. If Tax Commissioner Fred 0.

Blue would make the sheriff the peace officer of the county instead of the treasurer.
