WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. g.
Capt. Ben s. Pope, the we'll known
Parkersburg capitals and man
who stands very Highland deseryedly
so-in the estimation of the Parkers'
burg public, stopped of here for q
day or two. He was on his way to
New York to meet certain capitalists
in the hope Of consummating deal
which, II it goes through, will mean
very great deal to the central part
of West Virginia.
Capt. Pope Is more Of business
man than he is a politician, but no
man keeps In closer touch with party
doings than he. He is about rs
staunch Republican as that party
can boast, and could have had office
time and again, had he accepted the
offer. But his large business held
him. to close for excursions into office.

Discussing the interesting Republi-
can party situation in West Virginia
in the lobby Of the New Willard to-
day. Capt. Pope said:

ties will most certainly give ex.Gov.
ernor White a handsome sendof in
his ambition to be the nominee of the
party for United States Senator. We
feel that Governor White is equipped
for this high position and is decidly
logical as a candidate from the strict
partisan viewpoint. He represents no
faction and stands squareiy upon his
record and his merit. He would not
be nenety nor a neg1ible part Of the
United States Senate, but very &c
tive, potential and influential factor.
Furthermore, he would treat the mem
bers OF the party, we believe, with
absolute fairness and Justice, signal
ing out no faction for favors at the
expense and punishment OF another
faction. We have had far too much
OF that thing in our party already.
That is one Of the main things that
is wrong with US. We should clint
nate that sort of thing. II we elect
a Republican to succeed Senator Chill
ton, which i believe we shall be able
to do, the fact must not be SoYer:

Friends: When one stops to con-
slider that III 1912 the highest vote
cast for a Republican nominee for q
state office was 1872 ,513 one can readily
realize the physical impossibility that
confronts a Republican candidate, In
the course of the next four months,
to get in touch with all OF tho mem
bers of his own party, either by let
ter or meeting them personally. 1t

every Republican in the state and
have heart to heart talk before the
primary. l shall endeavor to get in
touch with the Republican voters in
every honorable way and intend to
make an extensive speaking tour and
I desire to extend to all most hearty
and cordial personal invitation to at
tend any meeting may address in
their vicinity in orGer that may have
the privilege and pleasure Of greeting
In person as many as possible. It Is
hoped that no one will become Offend

letter but, on the other hand, hope
to receive the benefit of the hearty
support and active cooperation OF my
friends, as well as all who may feel
kindly toward my candidacy. want

It is needless Tor me to say that
have been Republican all my life
and am proud Of the fact that In the
past have had the pleasure and OPP
