Among the Little Ones.
One of the many lines of philaRthro-
pic activity in which the late Mrs.

Frazer was interested is the Humane
society's shelter for homeless children

ganization at Wheeling. Some of Mrs.
Frazer's Morgantown friends felt that
there was no more beautiful and APP
propriate way to honor her memory
than to join in carrying on the help
full work which Mrs. Frazer had been
doing for the little ones.
AS a result of the carrying out of
this thought 30 homeless and friend
less children, wards Of the West Vir-
ginia Humane society, We're made
happy by Chritmas tree, dolls, books
toys and clothing. These children
range in age from two years to IA
years of age. In addition to the Christ
mas celebration other generous friends
in Wheeling donated 4 goodly sum of
money towards clothing for the Win
ter in this way adding greatly to the
comfort and happiness of children
without home and friends.

HARRY S. NEW
WOULD TAKE JOB
Is a Receptive Candidate
Fer Republican State
Chairman.
LIKED By ALL FACTIONS.
HIS EXPERIENCE AS NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN WOULD STAND
HIM IN GOOD STEAD, SAY PAR.
TY MEMBERS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 2S.-Captain
Harry S. New. of Indianapolis, is
receptive candidate for the republican
state craftsmanship. He is said to be
ready to assume the leadership, but
unwilling to make fight for 1t. How
ever, circumstances may arise that
would cause him to become an active
candidate, in which case he will make
the fur fly for any one who opposes
him.
He has been elected national COM
mitteeman three times, twice in the
face of a stiff contest. He has large
personal following, and is regarded as
a good organizer. Many party leaders
are saying that he is the logical selec-
ton for the Craftsmanship, in view of
the conditions now existing.
Opposed to Fairbanks.
He has been opposed to the Fair
banks regime largely because of per-
sonal differences between himself and
the vice president. The feeling was
embittered four years ago, when Big
Chief Healing and other members Of
the Fairbanks contingent lined up the
Indianapolis members OF the legisla-
| ture for James A. Hemenway, for
, United States senator.
In local politics Captain New has az
| filiated with the Beveridge element
lately, but. nevertheless, he has many
| friends in all factions, and 1t is being
pointed out that his election would
! help to bring about harmony. His
followers are asserting that he would
recognize all factions, and there would
be nothing done that was not for the
good of the party.
Some time ago Senator Hemenway
Captain New elected. Congressman
Crumpacker also declared for Captain
New, so he may receive support from
high quarters right from the jump.
Some politicians are saying that
Captain New was little out of tune
with the party in the national cam.
paign because of differences that
arose when Chairman Hitchcock was
appointed to manage Judge Taft's
campaign.
Captain New spent most Of the sum
mer in the wilds of Northern Michigan
but he was here during the CLOSING
weeks Of the campaign, and was tn,
guest of Judge Taft one day on his In
diana tour.
L. His loyalty to the party never ha.
been questioned seriously, even by hi
political enemies. and if he becomes
candidate it will be surprising if h
doesn't have the earnest support o
members of all factions.
