Next to the farmers, thelargest single block of voters in ; West Virginia are the coal miners. They are very compactly organized. They are powerful and self conscious. Because of .increased wages and other war, conditions they , have come up- in' the Vorld economically and they propose to iift themselves politi pally. - j . - ' - In. trying tO' put into office officials who are the choibe of their class and who share their clasa-coneciousness, la bor last summer entered a labor official, Samuel. Mojxtpmery, in the Republican Pflmarlewivf 0f - gbvenoK Labor lost, but only by the narrowmargin of 2,000 votes in a lotal of 135,000. Much ran cor followed. Labor claimed their man had been counted out. . As to this I am unaDie to judge. fRebSSliSr the Republican partyYinv the state, was. - that labor decided to ruh their ' candid :;;"rArrri'r"c. :: .Li"" ra RiV :A TvA -rA" kVi . i . i Situation Complicated ' This labor candidate reallv favoTS Harding. The Republican leaders tell nife and I have no means of investi gating deeper than their assurance that the labor candidate devoted to Harding, has iieronailv. 1 'va- Harding-., on ; several occasions, 'and would like very much to withdraw, in -rr.Vl- order to promote Harding' succ &. But ' the -Republican leaders cha'ige that - Montgomery is, prevented 'from .withdriwingc hj. ieaT' of his labS; sbclates. a; , ' ' '; 7.Y"srVf i)f..:v They.-claim Y that Montgomery 1 Y1- .tmidated X?.

It is very embarrassing, and the'Repubr llcan leaders would like everlastingly to get a few minutes private conver sation with Montgomery, but those la bor leaders are always present. The net of it is that labor, is. trying to force into the governorship a man who would lilce to see West Virginia go Republican but whose candidacy is most damaging to the Republican ticket. These same labor leaders, ex cepting the. one who is himself a can didate for governor, quite generally fa vor Cox for President. ' Miners Favor Cox Democrats claim that 80 per cent of the miners are for Cox. .; Republicans concede 60 per cent. Coal miners every where throughout the country are said to. have' a special regard for Cox beyond their labor unions. He is credited with having, acted officially in regard to labor, disputes that came up in a way to cause the coal miners of his state . to be. .friendly. The coal j miners of West Virginia, being directly across the river from Ohio, and being in,-touch with their fellow miners in that state, are said to be behind Cox now. " ' , Offsetting this is the fact that among other classes of the community there is a readily perceptible drift from the Democrats to the Republicans. Democratic leaders here do not con cede that this Adrift goes beyond, as one of them expressed it, "a few coal operators, manufacturers and bank ers." But Republican leaders claim. and the more candid Democratic leadj ers admit, that this ariit irom me Democrats to the Republicans may in clude, in addition to the classes already named, wholesale and retail merchants, small business men, .and some farmers. As one observer expressed it :x "I find that Democratic farmers are going to vote the Republican ticket. ' Business 'men generally wll vote the ticket and StfonarlT Ant!-WIlon This drift, everybody admits, is based upon what is . everywhere casually re-J f erred to as "the Anu-wiison senn- Lment.' Yet in West Virginia the Dem ocrats are well organized, wnatnap nened in Maine will not happen in West Virginia TTere is West Virginia there are about 275.000 women to be registered, and the Democrats are working effec tively through ; their local committees to register the women and see 'that they vote in November. This is but one of many evidences of the alertness and efficiency of the local Democratic organization. The smaller party lead ers In tbe counties and7 Precincts are more or less personally acquainted with Cox, and are making it a personal mat ter to do their best, for him. In .this effort the local organization in West Virginia is getting more Tieip from the national Democratic organization than in most other states. - The sum - total, of it -is that a little while ago there was a drift from the Democrats to Republicans, of the same nature and approaching the same proportions 'asy he Maine drift.

Census Figures Disclose Vast Majority of People Are Urbanv Dwellers WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Cities are increasing in population seven and a half times as fast as the rural, dis tricts, the census bureau disclosed to night , In a compilation pf figures cov ering approximately eighty-five . per cent of the hew census. The figures in dicated that the conmleted . census would show the majority of the popu lation to be city dwellers 1 For the last ten years rural srrowth was but one third as great as It was In tbe prevloua, decade, but the cities !fries!, b5seba11 scndal would con almnst miintainArt th Mt A i tlnu8l by a special grand. Jury was getting five new Inhabitants from 1910 to 1920 for each six added during the preceding ten years. All population centers, even the small country ham lets and towns, showed a greater pro portionate increase than the purely rural districts. The greatest increases, however, were by cities of ten thou sand, or more inhabitants. While the bureau attempts no ex-, plapation of the reason for the increasy ing migration to the cities each year during the last decade, presumably higher wages, shorter working day, home conveniences, attracted the rural population, especially during the war, J when wages in big industrial centers went up rapidly. Although, showing a check in the rate of population growth for the coun try as a whole, the bureau's figures in- dicated that the complete census would thtt Bt.in.nf,i TTr,itfl static .rT- proximately 105,768.100, a gain" of 13,- ! 795.840, or fifteen per cent. . th to ito on ....u . o I 500 or more, while 1,623,040 would be added to the farms and the small ham- ii-ta.
