Prominent Railroad Engiucer Repub-
liean Candidate House of
Delegates.

Leading his party ticket In the
election two years ago as candidate
fo5 member of the House Of Delegates
from Marion county, 1t was perfectly
natural that the Republicans should
have again chosen A. L. Heffner as
one OF their candidates for the same
position this year. But 1t is not alone
the strong race made by Mr.. Heffner
before Which prompted his selection
on the ticket this year. 1t was the
recognition of fitness, of ability and
the rights TO organize labor to have
at least one member from Marion
county.
Fir. Hcfrner is u railroad engineer,
and he has carried his card for as
long a period as any of his brothers
in this county. While he is a vet

means an.old man, but is one Of the
most vigorous and progressive OF the
citizens Of the county, and there is
no ADLER or truer exponent of labor

than Mr.. HeTner residing in the
county. He is not blinded to labor
demands when not just, but man of
that poisc. mental balance ana con-
servativc, wise judgment which will
make careful and useful legislator
for all the people of the county.

eighteen years, and he has become as

been born among It's. In fact. there
is no citizen OF Marion county who
works with greater willingness to
advance its interests nor WHO is a
moro enthusiastic booster. Mr.. Black
was originally connected here with a
large coal company, but in 1907 his
friends persuaded him into the po-
Iitical game and his candidacy for

DR.. q. r. MILLER.
Prominent Physician, Republican
Nominee House Of Delegates.

One of the three Republican nom
iuces for membership III the House
of Delegates is DR.. e. K. Miller, the
prominent Fairview physician and
public spirited citizen. In making
this nomination, the party leaders
considered the fitness of the candi-
date from all angles, seeking the
men best fitted to represent the
people and who could be trusted for
their wisdom and honesty III the en-
actmcnt of progressive, sound legis-
lation. We have no class of citizens
who arc in closer touch with all the
elements Of citizenship than are our
leading physicians, and probably no
other class are in position to better
know their needs and requirements
tor good government. The medical
profession has furnished to this stute
some of its abiest statesmen and
wise law makers, and the Republic
cans of Marion county feel that they
have secured an ideal candidate in
the person of DR.. Miller, for he llus
all the requirements above mention
ed for tho position of law maker.
DR.. Miller is not prominent alone

unique distinction of being the only
candidate for the house of delegates
:rom this county who carries union
,ard. AS member OF the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers he has
been prominent in advocating labo"
rights and he is held in equally high
esteem by the laboring class and the
employer. Any OF the boys have
found him willing to help them when
they were wrongtully discharged.
Mr.. Hcrfner is strong exponent Of
the doctrines of the part of Lincoln,
Grant, Mckinley and other grea:
leaders and should he secure an cleo
ton lie will reflect credit upon the
people who thus honor him and will
be found championing. honest and
good government.

and then he devoted some years to
teaching in the county schools.
Probably there is no young man in
the county who is in more thorough
sympathy with the county schools.
or who more fully understands their
requirements than does Mr.. Lanham.
For the past five years Mr.. Lanham
has been Il resident in Fairmont,
holding an important position with
the Consolidated Telephone Co. for
the past two years, and this position
has given him the necessary clerical
training for an efficient handling of
the office he seeks. Mr.. Lanham is
a native OF Grant District and a
member Of prominent family OF
the county. He has many warm
friends in all sections of the county
and they are giving his candidacy
very, cordial and hearty support. His
friends believe him sure winner In
his race, and IL so, there will be ef-
ficiency in the office of superintcnd-
ent of schools during his term.
