HEARNE
SPEAKS AT
GRAFTON
LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEET,
ING HEARS CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR OUTLINE HIS
POLICY.

GRAFTON. W. Va, Feb. 22.-Hon.
William H. Hearne. of Wheeling, can
dldate for governor delivered a stir.
ring address here last night at mass
meeting composed of both Repub-
lcans and Democrats. His remarks
we're well received and included
among those present were no small
number of farmers from the surround
ing territory who gathered for the
specific purpose OF listening to Mr..
Elearne's remarks.
During the course of Ibis talk Mr..
Hearne said that it accorded him
great pleasure to make an address
in Grafton. and he apologiZed for the
impromptu address rendered on ac'
count of pressing business engage
ments. He pointed out number Of
reasons why he was the only con-
testant for the nomination who would
be able to poll the entire Republican
vote, and the main reason for this,
he said, was due to existing differ
ences between adherents of his op-
ponents. He also affirmed that he
would have a large portion of the
Democratic vote in the northern Pan
Handle. He took occasion to COM
mend Governor Dawson and his adj
mInistration on the system of taxa
tion and added that he would CON
slider it his duty to perfect and make
that system more effective If he was
chosen as governor
Regarding the temperance ques-
tion MIR. Hearne said that our inst.
tutlons and Republican form of gov.
ernment are built on, and can exist
only when the majority rules, and
therefore he was Of the opinion that
in any instance where a majority of
the people wished an amendment 10
our constitution submitted to vote
OF the people of the State, such an
amendment ought to be submitted.
He voiced the opinion that recogniz-
ed support and influence might be had
from those high and law in power in
the State. by promises, but he firmly
stated that he would make no prom.
ises because he felt that there were
persons in control of State institq.
tions who would be detrimental to his
administration and would prevent his
making worthy appointments by their
retention and to simply appoint such
individuals to receive their support in
his fight would be wrong.
william H. C. Curtis, who presided
over the meeting then told OF some Of
the charitable acts of Mr.. Hearne by
extending aid to the poor of Wheeling
and of assistance he had rendered to
school girls and boys. This feature
of the evening appealed strongly to
the large number present. Mr.. Hearne
leaves here tomorrow morning for
Parkersburg where he will address
the rural letter carriers association,
which is in convention at that place,

IN PROCURING THIS FUND
ANY GIVEN BY ANY FRATERNAL
ORDER.


The Order Kokoal. composed OF
members OF all branches Of the coal
industry. and allied Interests, in the
United States and Canada, has come
forward with splendid contribution
to the Monongah and Darr mine relief
funds, the apportionment for the for
mer amounting to s629.69 Of the total
amount collected from members of
the order.
Immediately after the disaster had
taken place at Monongah. Mr.. G. A.
Michel. representing the Order Ko-
koal in Fafrmont. wrote to the I'M
pertal Modoc. Mr.. Charles f, Lester.
of New York. and the Imperial PIctor,
Mr.. A. NJ. Hull. of Chicago. suggesting
the desirablllty of raising fund
among the members of the order for
the relief of the widows and orphans
at Monongah The suggestion was
received with enthusiasm. and steps
were Immediately taken by the two
officers above mentioned to secure
contributions to so worthy cause.
The result OF this effort is embodied
in the following letter received to-day
by Mr.. A. Howard Fleming, secretary
of the Relief Committee,
The subscription is the largest
turned in by any fraternal or benevo-
lent order in the country, and the

Mr.. A. Howard Fleming.
Secretary Sub Committee,

Fairmont, West Virginia.
Dear Sir:
1 am herewith handing you New
York draft payable to the Order Mo-
nongah Mine Relief Committee, ]. f.
Sands, Treas, $629.69, same being Or
der KokoaI's contribution to the fund.
The total receipts to this fund com
ing to my hand have been $l,044.2S.
and the total number of deaths at the
Darr mine and Monongah mine as re-
ported by you. representing the latter.
and by Mr.. English. representing the
former, was COZ, and you will observe
that the enclosed draft amounts to
363-G02 OF the total amount, which has
come to my hand. and the same is
therefore pro.rata division, as wrote
you was our purpose some time ago.
1 confess my disappointment that
the fund is no larger than it is, but
taking all things into consideration
such for instance as the appeal hav-
ing been issued right at the holiday
season. the depression in our trade,
which struck lis at about the same
time, and also the further fact that a
number of our members had already
contributed to the General Relief Fund
through other channels-some of our
members with whom / have talked
seem to think that it is quite as good
as we could expect. Small as the
amount is, 1t will no doubt help to
foot up the aggregate.
l will thank you to kindly acknowl'
edge receipt, and oblige.
Very truly yours,
CHAS. E. LESTER,
