said that plans had not been aban
doned for demonstration in Home
stead later in the day where they
hope to nave the workmen in the
Carnegie mills there join them in
their movement for an eight-hour
day. Although a number of persons
were hurt during Mondays disorder
no arrests of strikers have yet been
made.
Pickets appeared at the plants OF
the American Steel and Wire Com
pany in Braddock and the United
States Steel Corporation at Rankin
early in the day and one who at
tempted to stop workman from en-
tering the Rankin plant was soundly
thrashed in the fight which followed.
Soon after the management closed
both mills for the protection of the
men, 1t was stated. Other plants in
the vicinity closed for the same
cause were the McClintock-Mars
Construction Company, Braddock
Machine and Manufacturing Com
pany, Columbia Steel and Shafting
Company, and the Standard Chain

render OF the detachment. The police
had exhausted their ammunition be-
fore finally giving up the fight.

the newspapers have received his
candidacy with much acclaim, and
this must have been but the echo of
approval of the people. Despite the
tendency to center attention on tho
contests for the nominations for gov
crnor and for United States senator,
there has been much publicity con-
corning the Stathers candidacy, and
publicity, as every newspaper man
knows, grows out OF the things that
are doing; II reflects public sentiment
Just as surely MS 1t helps to mould 1t.
Mr.. Stathers was born at Middle
bourne. Tyler county, July 13, 1884.
When he was very young his parents
moved to Wheeling, where he lived
until 1897. when he moved to Wes-
ton, where he has since had his home.
He graduated from the Weston hlgl,
school in 1901. In the following
year he went direct to the West Vlr-
slnia University, and was graduated
with the degree OF bachelor Of arts
In 1906. year later he completed
the course In law at the same insti-
tuition. receiving the degree of bache-
Tor OF laws. He was admitted to the
bar in 1897, and Immediately asso-
ciated himself with w. w. Brannon,
of Weston, In the practice OF his pro-
fcssion. He had only had the adynnt-
age OF association with one of tho
strongest lawyers in the state, but he
learned from him how to win by hard
application, careful preparation, and
thorough mastery of his case. If the
school at Morgantown prepared him
for entrance upon the practice OF law.
the study OF the law through practice
has proven the even more valuable
school OF experience to prepare HIN
for practical service to the people In
Just such position as he now seeks.
No man OF his year has more thor
cugh grasp of the law as applied TO
actual practice.
Before launching his candidacy for
this nomination, the careful and as
tute young lawyer took pains to
thoroughly sound the sentiment In
practically every part of the state.
and from every direction there came
such encouraging word that friendly
advisers shared his belief that his
nomination was well nigh assured.
Subsequent events have strengthened
the opinion, and in going up and
down the state such assurances have
come as indicate that he has not mis-

REED SENTIMENT IS
SWEEPING DISTRICT
Nomination of Harrison County
Statesman for Congress in
This District Certain.
VOTERS STRONG FOR HIM
Press in District Reflects Senti-
ment Which Shows This
a Reed Year.

Stuart F. Reed, well known and
popular secretary of state, is among
the distinguished Republicans of the
state In attendance at the Third con-
gressional district ds'egate conven-
ton at Weston today. where there
are rallied TO him party men of en-
thusiastic loyalty, men of all walks
OF life and fast friends OF this well
known state leader in politics, edu-
cation. religion, fraternalism and
every other activity tending to pro-
mote the welfare and development
OF the state, its citlzenry and its in
situations, man who has led the
party to many triumphs and never
to defeat. But few men in public
life anywhere can lay claim to being
never defeated candidate. Like
the name of our own illustrious Golf
that OF Reed, so far as Stuart F. Is
concerned. has ever proved one of
magic.
Secretary Reed, as is known every
where in the new Third COMPRESSION
al district, Is a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination in the district
for Congress, and 1t certainly is Mt
ting and the part Of wisdom that such
n man as he should be the first con-
gresham from the district. There
Is no shadow of doubt that thousands
of citizens in this new district feel
that way about it. The forecasts as
made by Senator Reeds friends and
campaign workers indicate that he
will sweep the district on primary
election day the counties of which
have all been strong for him in past
campaigns and election statistics Of
which show that he was an easy
leader in what now comprises the
district. when he was elected secre-
tary OF state.
Mr.. Reed himself is making a very
thorough and systematic campaign,
so characteristic of the man, and he
is most enthusiastic over the outlook
for his nomination June 6. There
is widespread sentiment for Reeds
nomination, say his friends all
through the district, which has so
Crystalized that they say it is all over
but the shouting. Everywhere the
slogan is: Reed Is the Right Man;
We Will Run Him and Win in q
Walk"
The press of the district is also
practical unanimous for Mr.. Reeds
nomination. and no man ever had
warmer tributes pnid him than he.
To reproduce all of them would be
to fill big volume. Suffice it to give
few.
Here is what the editor OF the
Weston Republican says of Mr.. Reed
in his newspaper:
In this issue appears the announce
ment of Stuart F. Reed for Congress
from the Third district To say Mr..
Reed is competent to fill the position
IS not merely political compliment,
