Where Hatfield, Robinson, Hite
and Darst Address Great
Republican Gathering

WEIGH, Jan. 31-At the annual
! banquet OF the Mckinley Club, OF
which he is one OF the charter men,
, bers, Governor Henry D. Hatfield was
the principal speaker Saturday night
/. Several hundred representative Re
publicans from Mcdowell and adJoin-
ing counties were In attendance at
the banquet, and in addition there
were a number Of prominent state
officials and also several announced
Republican candidates.
Among those who spoke at the
I. banquet besides Governor Hattieiu
were Judge Ira E. Robinson, RepuD-
-lican candidate for governor; WI
liam F. Hite, Of Huntington, Repuo-
I. lican candidate for United States SEN
Iator; and John s. Darst, state auditor
! and a candidate for denomination.
. Governor Hatfield took occasion to
! nay a pretty tribute to the memory
! Of the martyred president whose
name Is borne by the local Repubii-
! can club. He predicted a return to
/. Republican principles in the coming
. election and pointed with pride to
the record OF the Republican party
in the nation and state. He vigorous
" defended his administration and
! took up in detail the charges that
; he'd been made by Democratic 'oppo-
nents.
: Denies Charge.
The main feature upon which Gov
ernor Hatfield dwelt was that OF ex-
travagance, which has been charged
aginst the present administration.
He gave facts and figures and empha-
sized his belief that instead of q rec
ord Of extravaganza the state OF west
Virginia has made a record for parsi-
mony; that instead OF expanding too
much money upon the state and the
conduct of Its government and the
maintenance of Its institutions, there
hes been too little expended. He ap-
pealed to the loyal citizens Of the
state te give their hearty support to
the til se who would establish its
institu ions upon n permanent basis
and derive some material benefit IRON
the wonderful resources with which
the state has been endowed.
He gave comparisons Of expendi-
lures OF West Virginia with those OF
other states with nearly the same
population and brought out the fact
that West Virginia is expanding only
about one-half the amount Of money
that Is being expended by other states
of nearly the same population.
The governors address was enthu-
siastically received and he vas given
a hearty welcome by his hundreds OF
Mcdowell county friends. He ex-
pressed to them his appreciation OF
