The advocate. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1901-1913, 1912-07-18
(Bv r. w. THOMPSON. }

Washington, ID. G. July l7.-Witl
as national chairman, the Republican
campaign may be said TO be in "ful
swing"
The choice of Mr.. Hilles for this i'm
portant work is regarded as especially
fitting He is a true-blue Republican
and in him the basic principles Of the
party are firmly grounded. He is in
tensely loyal to the fortunes of Pres
ident Taft and thoroughly under
stands the inner nature of his chief
and knows like book the policies
that are to be emphasized and why
they are fundamental. Although
comparatively new to political life, he
is Well-acQuainted with who's who"
in the forum of public affairs, and is
equipped TO direct national presi-
Dental campaign with most of the ad-
vantages enjoyed by previous field cap
tains, without being handicapped with
many of their Disadvantages. His
record is absolutely without blemish;
his methods are clean and up-to-date;
he has a host of friends and no per
sonal enemies; and, possessing as he
does, the confidence and respect of the
masses of the party, he is peculiarly
in a position to bring into harmonious
action more of the various elements
that make for victory than any other
chairman who could have been named
nature, Mr. Hilles is a practical man,
and will apply the acid test to all
plans that may be suggested to him,
accepting the wise and rejecting those
fixed by him. He will be fair alike
to the North, East, South and West,
and will accord to each and every
man the respectful consideration that
is due him, regardless of his position
or estate.
The colored Republicans are de-
lighted with the selection of Mr..
Hilles. From dealings they have had
with him in the past, they know thew
can expect a square DEAL at his
hands throughout the impending bat
tie, and they will stand by him to the
finish. The leaders in the several
states are already getting in touch
with him, and as soon as the details
Of the campaign are mapped out, he
will be hearing from them by letter
and seeing many of them m person. all
eager to share in the work that is to
be done. No rsd-tape system will bar
the humblest from recognition at the
hands of the national chairman. That
the battle will be fierce, no one can
doubt; but, if every Republican will
do his full duty by the regular ticket,
falling lin line behind Mr. Hilles, vic
tory IS certain to perch upon the par
tvs banner in November.

testimony of some of the witnesses
of the prosecution was voted down
most of the time by the combination
of four members, Superintendent Will

retirement of DR.. Scott is considered
significant in politicai circles as an in

OF the statements made by w G. Rob

met in Musltogee Saturday Mr.. Rob.

the tenor of his remarks one would
almost be led to betieye that the pres

republican. Governor Cruce was com.

FATHER COURTS FOR HIS SON
Ooo Way OF Mating Couple In Ser
via--srldegroom Sees Wife on
Wedding Day.

Bosnia, Servia.-A humorous plant
often goes up on behalf Of the bride
groom, whose presence at a modern
wedding seems merely to be tolerat-
ed. But the b~ridegroom's case is
sometimes even worse, for In certain
parts of the globe he may not be pres
ent even at his own betrothal. The
following passage is from Chedo Mia
tovich's interesting account of the GUS
toms of his countrymen, in "Servia of
the Servians."
1t is the duty and privilege Of ev-
cry Servian to choose a wife for his
son. AS soon al the boy has reached
his eighteenth year, the Servian peas
ant asks his friends, confidentially, to
help him find a proper wife. He him
self visits assiduously all the fairs In
his W and neighboring districts
dressing better than usual-and
watches the girls dancing. He makes
careful inquiries about the families
that have manageable daughters.
In some parts of Servia the young
unmarried women carry a special
mark in their headgear-generally a
red feather-to indicate that they are
open to proposals.
When the father has chosen a
promising girl, he ascertains, through
a friend, whether the parents would
consent to give her to his son If he
receives an encouraging answer, he in
vites relatives or friends to go with
him on the requesting Grand" They
start out, dressed as we'll as can be.
The father carries a fiat wheat cake
and a bunch of flowers. One OF the
company must carry a pistol, for it is
customary in Servia to o w.
cry joyous event by firing rifles or
pistols. They arrive at the girls
house before supper.
After eating and drinking-in which
the men alone of the two houses par
ticipate-and some preliminary con-
versation, the father of the prospec-
tive bridegroom draws from his bag
the wheaton cake, puts the flowers
upon it, and places the whole upon
the table. He then takes from his
money-bag some gold or silver coins
and places those, too, upon the cake.
Brother, let us not precipitate the
matter" the girls father will then
say. LET me first find out what my
daughter says"
He then goes out to consult his
wife. This is only for appearance, as
the matter was practically settled
when the father was encouraged to
come to beg the girl.
After more or less suspense, the
door opens and a male relative brings

alleged case of suicide, the fees for
which amounted to but SIS, and most
of that sum was expended for livery
