Congressman B. B. Dovener is
making a final appeal as follows, by
circular letter, for the support of
Republicans in the contest for nom
nation, in which he pledges him
self that he will not again be a can
didate, but what effect the appeal
will have remains TO be seen:
As candidate for reelection to
Congress, ! feel that 1 may, with
all due modesty, call attention to
some of my claims to that honor:
"First-I have devoted my atten-
ton strictly to a proper represen-
tation Of my district, and have al
lowed no partisan or local disputes
to interfere with the proper execu,
tion of my duty as ] have seen it.
Secondly record on all ques-
lions of public importance has at all

endeavored on all occasions to take
clear and unequivocal position,
open to the support of my adher.
ents and to the free criticism of my
opponents, thus removing all doubt
as to where ] could be found when
the time came for decisive action.
s'Third-For years past / have
served as member of the Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors, secured
millions of dollars of appropria-
tons for improvements of our

test, ! ask for your earnest co-opera-

pRUMMERs COMMEND HIM

During the recent meeting of the
United Commercial Travellers held
in Washington Senator Elkins was
warmly commended for his advocacy
of their effort to secure the inclusion
of them in the list of preferred cred
itors under the bankruptcy act.
They said that with him as a patron
of bill making this provision they
felt sure that it would pass the Sen
ate and become law. He took
them to the White House and pre-
sented them to the President, who
assured them that such provision
would meet with his approval.
Without regard to their political be-
iefs the drummers from West Vir-
ginia assured Mr.. Elkins that they
regarded him as their friend, and
that they appreciated fully the in
terest he had taken in their cause.
Speaking to this correspondent
about Senator Elkins, one of the
drummers said:
81 have just been travelling up
and down through the State Of West
Virginia, and ! confess that it has
been revelation to me how public
sentiment has changed with regard
to Senator Elkins. In the past
West Virginians have believed in
Steve Elkins. All Republicans were
loyal to him because they believed
it was his wonderful energy and
his political sagacity that brought
the State over to the Republican
column. But he was last winter the
victim of a campaign of misrepre-
sentation. Just as man will feel
sick when all Of his friends tell him
that he looks sick, so the people.
when repeatedly told that their rep
resentatives in Congress or else
where are crooked, will soon become
to believe it. It was so in Senator
Elkins' case. All Of a sudden it be-
came profitable to rake muck and
to SANDER public men. Senator
Elkins was shining mark because
oil his prominence, and so-called ex-
posures came in right and left from
men who knew Just about as much
about West Virginia as a doo knows
about holiday. Enemies of thc
Senator in West Virginia took a de-
night IN passing it along. And be-
ileve me, / found a tendency To-
Jump on him everywhere with both
feet at that. Then the muck rak-
ers killed their own goose. They 80
far over-rcached the bounds al
truth that their stories bore evidence
Of lie on their face. The neonIe
began to want the truth and The
muck rakers' disappeared. Since
then there has been such abundont
and conclusive evidence of the good
faith of the Senator that there has
been such another revolution Of pub-
Inc sentiment as ! have never seen
before. Senator Elkins is now more
popular than he has ever been. H.
