Editor Fairmont West WI glnlan,
Fairmont. w Va.
Dear sIr:
A few days ago, there was printed
and copied in several papers in this
State. which do not seem to have a
very sacred regard for the truth, GER
tain statements that Mr.. Hubbard is
alleged to have made in Fairmoht to.
the effect that Mr., TAFT had lied, and
that Senator Scott was q fool etc.
Now, l was present, and heard what
Mr.. Hubbard did say on that occasion,
and will have to brand these state
ments as false, and | believe malicious
ly false; what he did say on that oc-
casion, was, that he had been given to
understand by Mr.. Taft, that his rec
Concentrations with regard to offices
in his district would be followed, but
after a meeting or conference Of the
President, with Senators Blkins and
Scott, and the Postmaster General,
his recommendations were held up,
pending the outcome Of the Senatorial
contest; he did not know whether un-
til after the nominations, or after the
general election, or until after the
next session OF the Legislature; this
was what he said. no more; no less:
and any other statement is untrue.
This statement was in answer to quess
tions as to why the old obnoxious post.
masters were still retained. Many
people are blaming Hubbard for not
making these changes, expected in
these offices, believing as heretofore.
that this matter was snstfe hands of
the Congressman and that the per-
sons he recommende would be ap-
pointed; but it seems that there is a
new dispensation and a new chapter
has been added, and that there is an
amendment to the constitution Of, the
officeholders' trust, and that Blkins,
although he denies it) has shown his
willy hand, and by him and others,
Hubbard is regarded as an interloper
because he happens to think and act
for himself, and will not submit to the
dictations Of the willy and sophisticat-
ed officeholders, and in this connec-
tion it is curious to note the vehement
energy manifested by the average of
fice,holder or oftice,seeker; so long
as he is in, orhas hope Of getting in;
but note the change as soon as he is
out, or is turned down for something
for which he aspires; he will then turn
about face, attack his former political.
associates, play into the. hands Of the
opposite parties, train under the ban
ner OF any demagogue, Of any politi-
cal party, until he satisfies his venom,
and when the tempest is over, and he
thinks people have forgotten it, will be
back in line saying, Didn't we do
them up in great shape?" At the pres
ent time, We have men in Marion
county who have been honored with
Office by the Republican party in the
past, some of whom are stlll in ONCE,
who, because they did not get en-
dorsement of the Congressman for Ger.

DEATH Of
MISS LAURA WARD
SHOCKS FRIENDS
Considered in Good Health, Well.
Known Woman Dies in St.
Barnabas's Hospital.

Miss Laura Ward, of 1892 Broad street,
died in st. Barnabas's Hospital last
night from the effects of an operation
which she underwent yesterday. She
had been in the hospital since last Tues
day. Miss Ward was the sister of
DR.. Leslie d. Ward, vice-president of
the Prudential Insurance Company.
The funeral will be held on Tuesday
morning at IL O'Clock from Miss Wards
late home and interment will be at
Hanover at the convenience of the
family.
The death came as a surprise to the
members of Miss Wards family. 1t
was known when she went to the hos
pital last Tuesday that it would be nee
essary to operate, but it was not
thought that there would be any serious
result. Miss Ward, while abroad last
summer, was taken sick in Copenhagen.
She recovered from that illneess In a
short time, however, and was apparent
ly in the best of health, until recently.
Miss Ward was born in Floral Park.
in this State. and was the daughter of
