WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW

The Huntington Advertiser. which
if warmly partisan. though fairer than
some OF the Democratic newspapers OF
the State. suggests that Governor
Hatfield himself should BE- called TO
give testimony In the proceedings in
the Federal Court in the matter OF
the Manufacturers Light 4 Heat
Company. which has created such a
stir in West Virginia in the past sew
eral weeks. Il pleads hat an op-
D%ortunity should be given the Govern
or to be heard.
IL has not been owing 70 any un-
willingness on the part OF Governor
Hatfield that he has not appeared IN
this case. He asked the privilege OF
being heard In refutation OF the
charges made by the head counsel in
the a case. but IL was not the pur-
pose OF the conspiratOrs that he should
be heard. The original intent OF Mr..
Wei was to dispute the fairness OF
the reduction in rates ordered by the
Public Service Commission. but that
has been subordinated by the conspir-
acy 10 discredit the Governor OF the
State and the Public Service Com.
mission. In carrying out this scheme
OF procedure they have resorted to
having written into the record wholly
irrelevant matter; all the scandal and
gossip they could possibly assemble.
and having the same spread broad.
cast over the State in defamation Of
Governor Hatfield and members Of
the Commission.
The Governor has been denied all
opportunity OF answering the ISLANDERS
that have been heaped up by the paid
~scavengers Of Mr.. Well, except such
denials as he has made through the
press open to him. and Il is evidently
the purpose Of the gas company coun-
sci TO keep any statement of his out
OF h record. II they were in earn
est and honest in their professions
they would long ago have invited the
Governor to the witness stand and he
would gladly nave responded. but that
Is exactly what their methods of pro-
cedure show they do not want.
