Wheeling, W. Va. Oct rs. The an
nouncement from Washington that
President Roosevelt has called for the
resignation of Hon. Thomas w Grid
Ter, the Third Assistant Secretary Of
State, of West yireinian, who has
been continuously i'll tine State De-
partment for more than a quarter of
a century, who has risen step by steD
from the bottom Of the ladder to a
position near the top. and who has
been generally regarded as very able
man, created quite furry in Wheel
ing yesterday, Mr. Cridler being
known personally to number OF the
leading Republicans here.
Senator Scott was asked to state
the position of the West Vlrginian
delegation in the matter of the remov
al Of Mr. Cridler. He replied
Several days ago | received by
wire an animation that Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, had asked
the President to aIpoint friend of
his to the position of Third Assistant
Secretary of State. and that Mr..
CridIer was TO be removed. ] have
also been informed that Mr.. Pierce,
Democrat, was to be given the place
81 received later wire from my
colleague, Senator Elkins, asking me
to cooperate with him in keeping
Mr.. Orr ller from being disturbed.
Immediately wrote thePresident long
letter on the subject and stated that
! was surprised that a civil service
reformer like Lodge, on his first visit
TO the White House, would ask for the
appointment of brother in-l law
and a Democrat in the place of a
faithful official and Republican.
All have TO say is that the true
Republicans of West Virginia will re-
sent it. Mr.. Cridler is being removed
without cause. He was not only an
able official, but kept West Virginians
in touch with State Department open
lngs and for this reason our people will
have cause to regret his being dis
placed. -
Congressman B. B. Dovener arriv-
ed in this city yesterday from Pad
ucah, KY, where he attended the an
nual meeting of the Ohio Valley I'M
provement Association, and found
among his mail an urgent request
from Mr.. Cridler to assist in the eff
fort to have him retained.
Capt. Dovener was surprised to learn
that Mr.. Cridler was about to be re-
moved, and said he would join the
West Virginia Senators and the Rep
resentatives from this State in urg-
ing the President to retain SO good an
official.
