Mr.. H|TE ON
THE STUMP

Although he lays no elaine 10 orstory.
William +. Hite, Of Huntington, who
-eeks the Republican nomination fpr
United States Senator, has shown on
more than one OCT aston lately entire
ability to take care OF himself on the
stump. This fact ~as given particular
exemplificstion at Fayetteville on Mon
day, when A. A. Lilly, in the courss OF
a vitrolic ashanti upon Judge Robinson.
Governor Hatfield and the State admin
'strsfion, turned upon Mr.. Hite and
subjected that gentleman to . volley OF
the same sort OF abuse. When M. Hite
rose TO reply, he proved himself fully
EQUAL 70 the occasion. His retort was 90
apt, and Jet 90 dignifed, that it won
not only the respect Of all Who heard it,
hut proved also that Mr.. Hite, contrary
tn the general impression. 10 really q
very capable speaker, able 70 state .
proposition in clear and convincing Ian
xuage and with . nightly and impreus-
'veness that carry both respect and con-
viction. The voters Of Fayeste county
we're both surprised and pleased when
they had heard Mr.. Hite. But in this
county he merely maintained the record
he has been making in Others. He dor-
not believe that abusive tsctics will ben
EFT candidate in the primary. nor dos
ne believe that vitupersrive primary
campaign will be good for the party in
The contest with the common enemy
Mr. Hise is proud Of the progressive
achievements Of the Republican party in
"rst Virgins and d - not hesitate To
defend this record whenever il 10 attack

at for the hall by the month to keep

ing. When the men reached the hall
the Lilly forces under the leadership of
Messn. Will Maddox and Will Law
came in and stated that they lad rented
the hall and no Hite- RoI inson club could
be Organized there. Robinson men went
''ut and neId . meeting in the old store.
Twelve men gave their names for men,
bership IN tire club and were enrolled.
Speeches we're made by 7. Edward Hill,
y w. Edwards. candidate for justice OF
the peace IN Browns Greek district; Bob

ent there we're several Lilly men on hand.

INSTRUCTION

Charles Brooke smiths Washington
Correspondent AYE:
Oongrsssman Edward Cooper told an
inquiring manager Of . presidential can
didscy who called on him st his Office in
wsshinRson in regard 70 the situation in
West Virginia effscting the selection of
'ielegstes 70 the national convention, that
he believed any attempt made in any Of
the district conventions on May or 1t
the state convention ct Wheeling on
May 4, 70 instruct the delegates would
not only srouse . vigorous protest, b
the protest would lie effective.
He ssid: From what l know OF the
frame Of mind Of the Republicans Of West
Virginia with reference 10 the presiden-
tisl matter. there ir no crystalized senti-
ment worth mentioning for anybody, and
they will oppose any efforts to tie mp the
state in advance for any one man. In
my Wait 70 the state and from the many
Republicans who come here from dsy to

candidacy without strenuous fight. In

year with the Republicans of my state
than they ara in any other state where
there 10 no ''favorite son's' cause 70

U. S. COAL AND COKE Co. AND com.
PeHsATIOM LAM.

Some OF the orators for Lilly
in Mcdowell county are severely
criticising Governor Hatfield. the
Legislature and the Republican
administration because of the
elective feature put in the Work
mems Compensation Law by an
amendment during tie 1915 SEES
sion of the Legislature. They
claim that the elective feature
was put in the law to favor the
United States Coal and Coke Co.
and at their instance.
Since 1910 the U. S. Coal and
Coke Co. has been compensating

and fathers and in 1913 when
the first workmen's compensa-
ton law became effective the
rates paid by this company to
Injured employees were about
20 per cent higher than those
allowed by the state. The pur
pose Of this compensation law
was not only to compensate for
injuries and death but to cause
employees to be more careful in
the prevention of accidents and
under the first years operation
OF the law the U. s. G. & c. Co.
mined over one and a half mil
lion tons Of coal with only one
fatal accident. while the general
average for other coal companies
mining under the same and even
better conditions was one fatal
accident for every 10000 tons
OF coal mined. Thousands OF
