Dr. Hatfield is highly esteemed by all who know him:
One OF the most gratifying things to him about this campaign
is the symposium of written tributes to his cIeany and strong
character his -alabIIty, courtesy, generosity and kind
ness which has been contributed to by the ministers of his

counties adjoining Protestant ministers of all denominations

This symposium, which has been issued in circular form

pie away from him by besmrCing his splendid character
with the mud from the cutters and sw-barres Of foul nde

Dr. Hatfield is the trustee of the hopes of the masses in
this great tight going on in West Virginia between the People

oceans felt more genuinely en-
Unused over the result of the last
election than I did. I believed that
the party had been SO chastened by
defeat that its representatives would
make an honest, determined effort
to live up to Its promises and plat

been delegated would steer clear Of

the party given a chance to fulfill it's

There was no excuse for any such

PENNSYLVANIA MIx-UP
Hilles Endeavoring to Supplant Bull
Moose Electors.

New York, Sept. 5.-Chairman
Charles Hilles and the members of
the Republican national committee
took steps today in another effort to
supplant Roosevelt electors on the
Republican ticket in Pennsylvania
with Taft men. The proposal of Will
liam Finn that Taft electors be sub
stituted for Roosevelt electors after
he had succeeded in obtaining sigma
lures to petitions naming the Roose-
welt men on a Washington party tick
ct. some time about September 30,
has not been accepted and some
other plan is to be tried.
Senator Penrose came here today
and had conference with William
Barnes and other members of the ma
tional committee on the subject
While neither Mr.. Barnes nor Sena.
tor Penrose would say what would be
done, Chairman Hilles gave out a let
ter of more than 1000 words ad-
dressed to Henry c. WATSON, chair
man of the Republican state com
mittee of Pennsylvania. In this let
ter Mr.. Hilles said:
From the standpoint of decency,
honor and morality, the Roosevelt
electors should not defer their retire
ment from the Republican ticket
They should not force the Republican
managers TO appeal TO the courts to
compel them to withdraw"
OF Mr.. Finn and his proposal Mr.
Hilles said:
William Finn, the head of the Re
publican secessionists in Pennsyl-
vania, is admittedly the influence
which has prevented tho elimination
from the Republican ticket of the
Roosevelt electors"
In conclusion Mr.. Hilles said:
ut is a matter of vital Importance
that the Republican ticket be com
pleted In the shortest possible time.
To stand in the way of the immediate
substitution of genuine Republicans
for the Roosevelt electors is perfiidi-
Gus and dishonorable. II is not suffi-
cient assurance to say that this will
be done in very short time Ii
must be done now"
The letter concluded: therefore
ask you to telegraph each of the cleo
tors who will not support the Presi-
dent to forward his resignation with.
out further delay, in order that the
Republican ticket may be complet-
ed"

Representative-elect.

Burlington, Sept 5.-The Demo
Gratis of this city last evening cele-
brated the election of their candidate
Thomas l.. Howley, to the state Leg
islature by parade, bonfires and
speaking in the city hall. The pro-
cession started with the Sherman

went to Mr.. Howley's residence,
where they gave him serenade and
escorted him to the city hall. On
the way to the hall additions were
made in line at the finish. Mr.. How
ley was seated in an automobile with
Louis w. Johnson. chairman OF the

Mr.. Cayo presided at the meeting
in the hall and first introduced Mr..
Johnson. who spoke briefly of the
victory of the day before and COM
promised the workingmen for the
manner in which they stood by the
ticket and voted even when they had
to walk long distances to the, polls.
as there was no money to procure
carriages or automobiles for them.
Mr. Howley was loudly applauded
when he took the stand. He spoke OF
the need of reform in Burlington and
said that, according to the population
this city was as bad as New York.
Things had been done the day before
to corrupt politics and to defeat him
which were a disgrace to the city.
The workingmen were just awaken
ing to their power and the fight had
only started They had won a good
fight and done it honestly. He thank
ed all and said that IL had not been
a victory of the Democrats alone,
but the workingmen of all parties had
helped. Ex-Mayor ]. f. Burke and
Sergeant Michael Mckenzie made
brief speeches.
