@The bill that Is allied with your
name was such one as to make you
dear 70 West Virginia people, and 1t
causes West Virginia republicans with
other reasons, to believe you are the
most suitable man In all this land for
President. A tariff bill that at once
brings IN sufficient revenue to supply
every proper need of the Government
and properly protects American indus
tries Is what West Virginia desires. and
UGH bill was the one that bore your
name. The reason for all this is not
hard to find II Is because West vir-
g!nia has beneath her rugged surface
enough coal for the world and iron ore
in vast quantities; has great forests and
sheep and cattle upon a thousand hills :;
has fertile valleys and rich hillsides.
