The Same Conditions Prevail
Throughout the State, SAYS
Cfty'S Chief of Police.

Republicans of Cabell county un-
der the leadership of Colonel William
F. Hite, are united and militant. ac-
cording to Chief of Police Harry L.
Brooks, who has just returned from
the Cabell metropolis, where he at
tended the annual convention of the
state association OF police chiefs and
peace officers.
Hite Loyal to Ticket.
Colonel Hite's loyalty to the ticket,
following his close defeat for the SEN
atorial nomination by Congressman
at-large Howard Sutherland, has been
a great inspiration to Cabell Repub-
licans, Chief Brooks said. Colonel
Hite did not sulk for moment. When
some of his friends planned to start
an election contest in the courts, he
wired from his summer home in Yer
mont giving orders to make no con-
test, and adding that the success OF
the Republican party was far more
important than the satisfaction OF
any mans personal ambitions.
This message of Mr.. Hite s." Chief
Brooks said, had a wonderful effect

aid him in any court fight he might
undertake, were earnestly at work in
behalf of Sutherland and the rest OF

after Mr.. Hite's telegram was made
public. And as the campaign pro-
crosses they are working still harder.
