THE cIARKsBuRe TElEGRAM-
harrisburg, W Va. Friday Aag Il
ELK1Ns, RECORD.

Senator Elkins' record in the Sen.
ate speaks for itself; his loyalty and
devotion TO the interests of the state
md country is generally known and
recognized on all sides. He is
strong with his Republican col
leagues, popular and beloved by the
Democrats Of the Senate. He has,
it is true. not been able to secure ap-
pointments he would like to have
made, but this was beyond his COM
trol. There is always dissatisfac-
ton with Senators, in the nature Of
things when worthy and deserving
Republicans who have worked hard
for the party are Disappointed
there are not enough offices to go
around. But there is no reason why
a Senator who has worked hard and
is powerful and influential should
be turned down.
Aside from what Senator Elkins
has done as senator, he has great
claims on the state for other reasons.
For the last twenty-five years he has
been investing his means in the state
and actively engaged in developing
its resources; lie helped build two
hundred miles of railroad, the West
Virginia Central, on which there are
now forty or fifw f1Nlrishing towns.
When he and seuator Davis began
the building Of the Vest Virginia
Central Railroad. there were not five
hundred people ON the whole line,
and not one hundred tons of freight
went out Of the section of country
reached by this road to market.
whereas now millions of tons of coal,
coke, lumber, leather and other pro-
ducts find a market over this line.
and thousands of men are employed
m the mines, mills and factories
along the line. This is all new
creation as it were. The building Of
the West Virginia Central road was
a great undertaking and has added
immensely to the wealth and popu-
Elation of the state. Since the build
ing of the West Virginia Central
road, he has joined Senator Davis
in building the Coal and Coke Rail-
road, which with its branches will
be about two hundred miles long,
and runs partly through the counties
of Randolph, Barbour, Upshur,
Braxton, Clay and Kanawha, and
which has cost together with the
lands connected with ii, nearly ten
million dollars. This road will
open up one of the richest portions
of the state as there is coal, oil, gas
and timber along the whole line.
This road will be completed in
November, and through line will
be established not only from Elkins
TO Charleston. the capital, but by
connecting at Elkins with the West
ern Maryland system from Balti-
more to Charleston, thus giving
West Virginia another outlet tothe
