Should Send
Hubbard Back
PROMINENT REPUBLICAN FROM
THIS STATE TELLS OF con-
plTIoNs IN WASH
INGToN.

Anent the denomination of Hon
william P. Hubbard, Of the First West
Virginia congressional district, letter
received by friend from West Vir'
sinia Republican who is located at
washington in prominent position
gives a number Of excellent reasons
Why Mr. Hubbard should get the nom
ination again this year and also be
eiected to succeed himself. The let
ter follows:
aThe coming primaries will deter
mine whether the First congressional
district Will retain as her represents
tive in congress the ablest man In
the State. Two years ago asked my
friends to support the then incumbent
for another term and gave as my
reasons therefor that the river I'M
poyements going on might suffer
SSince then events have so shaped
themselves that local conditions re-
uufring legislation are so similar In
other parts of the United States, and
the demands for Internal improve
Inents so great, the only way for the
First district to get her share is to
send her ablest man to represent it
Legislation in congress is controlled
by the leaders in their respective
houses, and these leaders are the most
prominent men in the State delega
4ions in congress, therefor. it is nc
idle boast when say that Mr.. Hub
bard's recognized ability coupled with
the esteem in. which he is held by the
leaders will soor enable him to be
numbered as one of them. This will
secure for the First district more
Legislation than any committee assign
ment. Mr.. Hubbards committee as
signment however. is third in rank
the appropriations and the ways and
means committee only preceding it.
''Mr. Hubbard has given attention
to the rules, form and procedure on
the floor since he was sworn In. He
has made the acquaintance and Sc.
cured the friendship of the leaders on
both sides; he INQUIRIES into the details
OF pending Legislation, and is equip
ping himself with knowledge and in
formation with respect to taking an
active part on the floor at the proper
time. He personally attends to the
wants Of his constituents, and while
visiting the departments in their be
half commands the respect of the
heads Of the departments and chiefs
of divisions. who look upon him as a
man Of ability. II a change is made
at this time the people Of the First
congressional district will lose the
opportunity of having the country al
large learn the Importance of our big
manufacturing interests, for Mr.. Hub
bard viii be heard from at the proper
time, and when he is heard the peo
pie will appreciate his true worth.

the anniversary OF the destruction OF

the world over today with fasting and

Jehovah Himself had with his own

The men sat on the floor OF the syn

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
David Glasgow Farragut.
By ROBERTUS LOVE.
The cid man
magnificent Of
the american
Macy.

@iIE most famous naval officer in
American history was David
Glasgow Farragut, who died in
1870. Admiral Farragut GER
tainly had abundant opportunity to
make himself famous. He served in
three great wars-that of 1872, the
struggle with Mexico and the rebellion.
Admiral Farragut's chief service.
however, and that which won for him
the distinction which places him at the
head of the list of our naval command
crS, was given during the civil war. 1t
is fact somewhat remarkable that a
man past sixty years of age should dis
play such bravery and such ability as
were shown by Farragut
Farragut, it may he said, grew up
in the navy. He was adopted into the
family of the Commodore Porter of
his boyhood and was bred to the sea.
Though but eleven years of age when
the war of 1912 began, he served
through that conflict, up to the begin
ming of 1915, as Il midShipmIn. From
that time forth he remained in naval
service, and when the civil war opened
he was already Il veteran of almost
fifty years experience. Though born
in Tennessee and living in Virginia
ut the outbreak of the war, Farragut
adhered to the Union cause. went
north and was assigned to duty in
command of the western hlOcEaling
squadron in the gulf of Mexico. The
story of his gunboats passing the bat
tcrieS at New Orleans, Fort Hudson
and Nicksburg under heavy fire, re
sulting in the capture of New Orleans
and opening the Mississippi up to
VicksbUrg, greatly aiding General
Grant in the tedious but triumphant
campaign against the latter strong
hold, is unique in naval history.
But Farragut's most sensational and
thrilling exploit WAS achieved at the
entrance to Mobile bay, where he was
in immediate personal command, his
vessels plunging through field of the
enemys torpedoes, silencing the terri
bic batteries and capturing Confeder-
ate boats in what was practically Il
hand to hand fight. ScAoDlboys of
many years to come will be thrilled by
the story of the brave Old admiral
dashed to the mast of his flagship,
glasses in hand, watching and direct
ing the movements of his squadron i'll
the midst of a plunging fire from pow
erful forts.
Farragut received from congress the
highest hOnors possible. the ranks of
vice admiral and admiral being ere
ated for him. He WAS the Old man
magnificent of the American navy.
