EX-GOVERNOR wHI1E's LETTER.

Ex-Governor A. B. White few days
ago gave out letter for publication
which has been an inspiration to ev
cry Republican who has. read it. II
rings true and sounds the warning
that all Republicans should heed
Gov. White was one OF the able sup.
porters of Col. Roosevelt. for the
Presidential nomination and was dis,
appointed like hundreds Of. other Re.
publ!cans because his candidate did
NOT win, but he is not yet ready to.
desert his party In the time OF Its
greatest need and pleads with the
Republicans for harmony and unity
We repeat his letter which was pub.
llshed in these columns a few days
ago and ask that all party members
give 1t a careful reading. The letter
follows: y5Fl ..
III Republicans and Republican
newspapers in West Virginia will
cease attacking, ridicuiing and abusing
Republicans with whom they have diff.
|jfered in the REORGANIZATION contest
for President and think about the re.
suits us as West sVirginians OF a
divided party,,itowill possibly lead to
a better understanding. ">Nri-' Z
Our plain duty is to stand by and
elect the splendid State ticket and
local tickets which have been named
by our party. A Democratic victory

trous as to put the Republican party
out OF power in this State for de.
cade or two. Why do say this?
Think OF the DISTINGUISHING regis.
tration laws that would surely come
with Democratic Governor and Leg.
islature; Of the restricting measures
that would be passed affecting Con
gressmen, State Senators and judicial
districts, and the probable return to
the Democratic idea OF "delegate-tlls.
tricts." such as Tyler Wetzel, Jeffer.
SON Berkeley, Lewis Webster, Ran.
dolph Tucker, etc. What Democratic
victory would mean In West Virginia
Is hard to eXaggerate.
THE duty OF the hour, It seems to
line, Is for West Virginia Republicans
to get together. take our medicine"
such OF us as have TO do SO. and unite
for Republican victory all along the
line. believe wise counsels will pre-.
vail and that with little rorebear.
ance and good will the party will
come together for victory this fall.
81 was opposed to the nomination
of the President, but as West Vir-
| gilman, our duty TO support the entire
| Republican ticket seems TO be imper.
alive"
Ex-Governor White has arisen above
personal preference and shown his
republicanism to be of the first water.
He has always been one OF the strong.
est party advocates In the State He
carries the earnestness OF his convic.
| lions IN his open countenaace and
gives expression to It In the most for.
chile manner whenever occasion de.
mands. No republican will doubt the
sincerity OF Mr.. White or question his
republicanism. He puts party loyalty
above factiohal disputes and personal
ambition. He has shown in this pub
lie manner that he Is really Il biz
man and II is to such men as he that
public approval ana party recognition

The Republican Ticket.
Compare the personnel of the Re.

cratic ticket and it will at once be
seen why this ticket will be elected.
Most every man on that ticket is well
known over the State. Most oil Of
them have proved their worth and
ability In public service. From Gov.
ernor down the list we have strong
and forceful ticket. DR.. II. D. Hat.
Jed while he does not make claim to
6fatory, Is a more forceful and logic
cal speaker than Thompson. Tol'be
Elglcal oneNmust have the proof OF his
argument and DR.. Hatfield always
carries that under his hat. Hatfield
has been a conspicuous figure in State
affairs for a number OF years. No
higher praise has ever been given any
Republican nominee than that which
the Democratic press has given DR..
Hatfield. Governor MacCorkle's reso.
Luton In the Senate speaks In the
most glowing terms Of his honesty and
fairness, These things, though, will
not count much with the Democrats
when voting time comes around and
DIR. Hatfield will depend on the Re.
