A DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN

Republicans who were present at
the Wheeling convention commented
quite generally upon the ability with
which the convention was handled BY
Hon. w. f. Wells, OF Newell. W. Va.
This comment has been reflected in
the newspapers Of the state. a num-
Der of which have referred in a most
complimentary manner to Mr.. Wells
effective work.
Mr.. Wells is one Of the big men OF
West Virginia. lie is a successful
manufacturer who has built up a very
large business from small beginning.
Amid the cares OF business. he has
found time 10 give much attention TO
public questions. He Is a student Of
public affairs. an eloquent and force.
ful speaker. and a man capable Of
taking leadership in any gathering.
II is a regrettable fact that many
81 the real big men OF this country are
not found In legislative halls or politi.
cal assemblases. when more success.
fui business men like Mr.. Wells follow
his example in taking keen interest
in public affairs. we may confidently
expect a higher grade OF citizenship
in our legislative bodies. and a higher
average Of legislative performances.
