Although new member. the
Hon. Adam Brown L.ttlepage of the
Third West virginia district has
written himself large upon the
minds OF his countrymen and upon
the Congressional Directory. From
that sterling work we quote again

in photographer literature:
Mr.. Lttlepage stands very high
as lawyer and citizen throughout
his district and state. He was a
3 candidate for the nomination OF
governor two years ago, but was de-
! feated in the convention by the Hon,
!; Lewis Bennett. The sentiment is
now prevailing throughout the state
that had Mr.. L!ttlepage been nomi-
mated he would have been elected.
He bears the reputation of being a
very grateful man. never forgetting
a kindness, and is faithful in his
friendship and thoroughly reliable.
He stands for the under man in life.
Works hard. late and early as a.
&c ngressman, and is. rejecting cred

&C nservative and wise course in
Washington as a representative of,
all the people. He is patriotici
man of ability and fine qualities of
mind and heart"
