Republican, for governor, carried the district by 2ft)3.v From all of thla It appears that the result in this West! Virginia district wss in fact not conclusive. If the Re publicans can do no better elsewhere, tbey will lose. While the campaign waa fought on national issues, the Lfemocrats contend, and the Repub licans generallyeoncede, that Presi dent Wilson as "a candidate will run well ahead of hla party. This West Virginia vote gives no firm ground for prediction on either aide as to the result In November, except as It proves the claim in some quarters to a great Republican drirt to be un founded. , Cbamberlala Wlna praise. Senator Chamberlain ia being widely praised for the tact and ability he has displayed in a difficult place as chair man of the military affairs committee of the senate. Whether agreeing with the ' particular . plans he baa cham pioned or tootl the.eMci giv bin credit for having gone, about his task in a buainesa-iiKe, result-getting way. and he has eirouied. fewer antagonisms than most senators would nave cre ated under similar conditions. First, he mastered his subject. He spent long hours in the study of mil itary organisation, the condition of the army, the various foreign aystems, and military history. He knew the details, so that no queatlon found him napping. He was . the target for at tack from various angles, and his mall grew to greater proportions than the army will grow for a long time to come. The long struggle left him unruf fled. He disregarded abuse, and kept on with hla work in even temper. On all sides it is conceded that a a has made a distinct success of the job, and his influence is widened to a large degree. Government intra te Plant. As finally agreed upon, the military bill carrlea 135)00.000 for a govern ment nitrate plant, In which no pri vate Interest ia 4o have a part. The site la to be selected by the president upon the advice of engineers, and the surplus -product of fertilizer ia to be disposed of commercially. These are provisions voted by the house, and avoid, most of the objections urged to tha 'provision first adopted by the senate. The senate provided for a $15,000, 000 plant and contemplated,' or at least permitted, association by the Bovernment with private Interests. Tnls waa open to attack as tying the government up to the Muscle Shoals power project, in which New York in vestors are.Jtnterested. The taint of tha lobby la thus removed. BRANDEIS CASE HAS BEEN PROLONGED BY DEMOCRATIC S0L0NS , Washington. May 20. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Two or three Democratic senators are mora to blame for continued inac tion on the nomination of Louis D Brandeia aa a justice of tba supreme court than are the Republicana. Senator Hoke 8mith of Georgia la one of those greatly perturbed in mind. There are many little polnta on which he haa desired time to clear up hia understanding.

Two Democrats, Olney of Massachu setts and Slayden of Texas, voted against the bill and Kent, the Cali fornia Independent, for it Tha bill proposes to appropriate 150,000,000 to be raised by Panama bonds for the purchase, charter or lease of ships by the government. These ships would be sold or leased to private capital as rapidly as pos sible with the government reserving th right to call them back into service as naval auxiliaries. Th operation of such veaaels as the government was unable to lease or sell would not ex tend beyond five years after the close of tha European war. A shipping board of five members. empowered to prevent rate discrimi nation and unfair practices by all ships plying American waters and fix rates, would be created. This bill now goes to the senate. Republicans who yesterday delayed the vote by offering more than 100 amendments, made no further attempt to amend tha measure.
