ed In the return TO political activity
and usefulness of hat soldier. states
man n jurist. Judge Nathan Con.
Inc state is assured OF increased

ability. his wise leadership and his
mature experience I'm public affairs.
That Judge Con responded 20 the call
OF a plain duty. the result OF which
means a reunited Republican party.
- a sorce of qualification to me. as I

cans: and II the devotion of my
friends and supporters of nv W can
didacy had eve a small part in
amply recompensed. and with all good
amply recon- ensed. and with all good
Republicans rejoice at the outcome OF
this memorable contest.
To my loyal and devoted friends
and supporters | am under lasting obli-
cations and while my personal disap.
pointment may be shared. ! feel that
the outcome resulting in my defeat is
sweetened by the fact that the election
or Judge Gof and his patriotic re-.
spone to a plain call OF party duty.
which has dissolved the lines Of fac.
tionalism in our party and rendered US
once more invincible.
Il have no regrets. no soreness. no
resentments. ! am still devoted to the
principles ! announced and advocated
before the campaign OF 1912 started.
still Insist that the Republican party is
and will continue to he progressive
within itself and the final solution OF
the tense situation here at Charleston
Is renewed proof Of my conviction and
should bring back into the fold all who
have faltered in the past.
The Republican party is bigger and
greater than ever in West Virginia and
