It notes bitter opposition to Taft's farm policy, mentions Colonel House, and cites Wilson's campaign prospects amid editorial bombshells from Harper's Weekly and Henry Watterson. It highlights political intrigue, primary reform, and a fizzling “bombshell” episode that bolsters Wilson's image.

West Virginia Republicans Split Over Roosevelt Support
The West Virginia GOP battles over Roosevelt versus Taft for the national convention.

Montgomery, Roosevelt loyalist and candidate for congress at large, signals likely influence in nominations amid party rifts. The dispute mirrors broader county and state alignments as postmasters and federal office holders face pressure.
