Newspapers and others In discuss
ing the senatorial situation In the
Republican party frequently refer to
Mr.. Hlte, the Huntington candidate,

These are purely relative terms. and
calculation seems to be In order.
If MIR. HIte is not so widely known
politically rs some others, 1t In be-
cause he has never been catalogued
as an ofIice-seeker. He has never
been In Congress nor has he ever
held or sought state Office; but 10
suggest that he Is unknown or not
we'll known is to make nm assertion
at variance with the factH.
The truth is that few men in West
Virginia. not habitually addicted 10

OF every West Virginia city, and to
scores of leading business men in
the metropolitan cities, rs n man ca

in the memorable state committee
meetings of 1912. and went on rec

methods and free popular expression
by advocating the submission OF the
matter OF preference between Taft
and Roosevelt to the people to be de-
termincd BY their votes in the state
wide prIamry election. of that year.
At the same committee meeting he
advocated submission of the question
% naming Republican senatorial
candidate to that primary election.
This proves that he was not only

was known as an advocate OF popular
rights.

Republicans, All.

The primaries in Indiana have af-
forded a practical demonstration Of
Republican reunion upon basis of
complete sympathy The unusually
large vote was produced by the general
participation OF former ProErcssiyes-
and It Is significant that, despite the
provision Of the law for challenging
voters which Democrats had enacted
in order TO bedevil Republicans. alb
solutely no effort was made to prevent
the full and free cooperation OF the
foes OF four years ago in making UP
the party ticket for the year.
The old-line Republicans OF In
diana marched to the polls with their
one-time antagonists in the complete
assurance that there are no difference
In the essential Republicanism of the
two groups who now make up a re-
united party which is soon to secure
an old-fashloned victory.
We do not believe, however. thai
these conditions arc peculiar to In
diana. In every state where RepNf.
lican majoritIes once prevailed and
where a divided Republican vote was
cast in 1912. there are indications OF
the same liberal spirit that animates
the Republicans Of Hoosterdom. For.
mer Progressives are taking part in
Republican primaries, are candidates
for Republican nominations, and are

HAYDEN CHOIR WILL
APPEAR ON PROGRAM
MOST UNIQUE CHAUTAIQUA
NUMBER WILL BE GIVEN
HERE IN SUMNER.
Something Little Out of the Or
binary and Pleasing.-Promi-
nent Lecturer VIII Come
from North Carolina.

Music lovers will be pleased to
hear that the Hayden choir has
been secured for the chautauqua
this summer. The choir is composed
of twelve excellent singers and ac-
companied by reputable organist.
They will bring with them a very
expensive organ especially construct
ed for chautauqua work. 1t is the
first organ of its kind ever built.
1t is in short, portable pipe or
gan and was built by the Estey Pipe
Organ company.
Both male quartets and ladies
quartets constitute a part of the pro-
gram.
The choir renders only the very
best music and for the most part,
confine themselves strictly to the
sacred selections, including the
''Hallelujah Choruses" from the
Messiah" and others equally as
good.
The choir is under the direction
of the well known American COM
poser, Mr.. Thurlow Lieurance. who
has written hundreds of musical
compositions of very high class.
The choir will give prelude in
the afternoon and "a full program at
the evening hour.
Another interesting feature OF
the chautauqua program is Governor
Robert b. Glenn of North Carolina.
Governor Glenn is too well known TO
the people OF the south TO need any
introduction. He is southern man
and knows the southern people. He
is never more at home than deliver
Ing his splendid subjects on the chau-
tauqua platform. He will take for
his subject either our Country, Its
Dangers and Possibilities. "Our
Country's Need OF Sterling Men and
Women" or "The South, Its Prob
lens and Future" There is no doubt
about the chautaugna being a great
success with such talent as this.
