Mr. Ieander Troxell.
Weston. w. Va.
My Dear Iroxell:
1t has occurred to ME that might
do my friend. VIII Hlte, some good
In hig candidacy for the Republican
nomination for United States senator
by word back home" in his behalf.
l have known will Hite, personal
ly and intimately, for most all the
tWenty-three years since left Lewis
countyf and have been associated
with him SO intimately that / have.
felt share somewhat In his success.
He was born In this county, in the old
historic town of Guyandotte, now a
part OF Huntington. He was Il man
grown when came TO Huntington,
and held then q responsible position
with one of our railroads. i came to
know much Of his boyhood and early
business training. Ere Is q self-made
man II ever there was one. He be-
gun work in a telegraph Office as q
messenger boy, soon demonstrated
the spirit which has always rharac-
terlzed him as a man by mastering
the science OF telesraphy, and adj
vancing to the important position OF
railroad telegraph operator. EARLY In
life he was transferred to the ac-
cnnntant department of the railroad,
and II was in this line of work that
i witnessed his rapid advancement
from position to position along with
often reenated increases In salary ut1-
/ It'll he became assistant general
freight agent OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company. This posi-
tlon he held until two or three years
since, when he found 1t necessary to
resign the same IN order to give
proper attention to his private bust
ness. He Is now president OF the CONF
pany which publishes our widely
known daily newspaper, the Herald7
Dispatch !; he Is director In the
Huntington National Bank of this
city; he was d one time mayor OF the
city of Huntington. called to the poo
sition ae he was in recognition Of his
business and administrative ability
He is today one Of our digting uished
citizens, closely identified with the
business interests OF our city. Such
success in business as has come to
Will Hite would have removed most
men from close touch with humanity,
but 1t has not seemed TO make any
difference in him. He remains the
same man OF. easy approach. friendly
dtsposition. and with depend bile SYM
patty.
It ID easy to forecast that the spits
&c which has characterized the man
OF business viii soon disting tfsh him
as public servant. IL he rs ihonored
with the nomination on the Rnpubli=
/ can ticket for United States senator
he will be elected, and if elected may
he depended upon for fidelity in of
ice and d senator OF whom we shall
hecome proud, and who shall soon 3es=
Htablish q reputation for getting re-
Esiuts. He has most unset tishly served
lhts party in an ettectual way through
many years. and coming now To be q
illogical man as Its candidate for this
high once every one will recognize
and gladly admit TINT IL is d we'll de-
served honor. What aohuld like
To accomplish by this letter is To get
You acquainted With Mr.. Hite, and in
sympathy With his candidacy. md to
hrveyou pass 1t along TO your friends
in tbe hope that may thereby have
