Am. Among on the Editors;
As to MIR. Hubbard.

From reports received from all parts
Of the First district the Intelligencer
is led. to believe that the sentiment
OF the Republican party Is overwllelnl-
insly In favor of the reelection of the
Hon. William P. Hubbard to congress.
Those who are Republicans because
they believe Republicanism is to the
best interests OF the country ana l,u.
because they have personal ends to
gain, are almost unanimous for Mr..
Hubbard. n p
Mr.. llubbnrd's reputation is not To-
cal. He Is known throughout the State
as man of ability and character. In
Mercer and MCDOWELL his name is as
familiar us In Hancock and Brooke.
More than that, he Is recognized by
lawyers the country over as among the
highest In their profession. During
the few months he has been ut Wash.
ington he has impressed, the national
leaders with his ability and energy.
Newspapers, notably the New York
tribune, leader in It's class, with no
personal interest In him or his for
tunes. have noticed him and commend
ed not only him. but the district for
choosing such a man. is rare that
representative during his first term.
who has evaded the spectacular and
has not courted notoriety. attracts the
attention OF the metropolitan press.
Aside from the question OF Mr.. Hub
bnrds unquestioned ability, it is a
matter OF common Justice that con-
gresham should be given the oppor-
tunlty to prove his worth. This on
portunity can be given only by re.elec.

AS TO Mr., HUBBARD.

According to reports from C1arks

voters Is becoming suspicfously large
In several Harrison county precincts
In one precinct where, at the last
election, the Republicans who led tho
ticket polled less than GOO. more than
700 persons have already qualified MS
voters for the Republican primary. Ii

IT wrongful methods are to be used

opposition that was so confidently de.

Hubbard could not be beaten. Tho

Editor Fairmont West Virginfan: ~
I see n great deal said in the papers
about the. senatorial situation fas the
primary is close at hand / would like
to make a few suggestions as to the
candidates. received letter some
few days ago from 7. w. Fleming,
who aspires to that position. saying
to look UP his record. We find that
he voted against the criminal court
bill. Why? Because 1t was going to
make him pay his share Of taxes. He
voted against cent railroad fare.
Why? Because he was in the rail.
road business. Now voter we want a
man for that Office who will look aft
er the mnsses' interest, not class inter,
est. and find that We have a man who
has a brain equal to the great Daniel
Webster. A man who the people can
rely on. He Is a man that knows
when a law Is constitutional. He is a
man who will endeavor to have laws
passed that will stand the test of the
higher courts of the land. Now voter,
this man will have to sacriflce>a great
deal more than the money value OF the
Office to represent the people in that
august body. He will have to sacrifice
his law practice to represent the peo-
pie of the 18th Senatorial district. The
voters of this district will make no
mistake by nominating Judge Winfield
Scott Meredith. as he is broad and
liberal minded man: man of ability
who Will not be afraid to make n
speech when his constituents nre not
getting their share of the law should
be placed on the statute Of the State.
He; will be credit to the senatorial
district he represents. A man OF
talent. one of tile best author
ity on law In the State of West
Virginia: one of the leading. If
not the best criminal lawyer OF the
State: n man who will not go down to;
Charleston and stay As days and the
people not know he Is there like some
Of our. legislators have done and then
come back and tell that he. did not,
know what that august body did until
the newspapers tell what was done.,

In William F.. Hubbard. the First
district OF West Virginia has a repre-
tentative who Isl the peer OF any man
N public life in the country. Among
lawyers Mr.. Hnbbarl's reputation is
national /. and It Is well known that
the same energy and ability he has
employed as a lawyer are applied by
him to all other Undertakings s in
which he may. engage. In the broad
field congress offers good lawyer.
he will be even greater man than he
was as mere practitioner.,i!2 81.
Mr.. Hubbard believes in one policy
that is not always the rule among
congressman. He regards his con:
stttuehts as bearing the same relation
to him that client does to his law
yer, and he has declined all private
practice that might be construed as
conflicting with his public duties.
Many members use their influence as
congressman to enlarge their private
practice, often securing business from
railroads and other great corporations
which keep a watchful eye on politics
simply because OF their membership.
Mr.. Hubbard was not raised In that
school. Their p lie misrepresentation
