Al the trial OF the captain and

guns on the deck had no guards and

it was known that the Emden was
somewhere in the neighborhood.

MR.. HITE AND LABOR

In the final summing up, the
laboring man of West Virginia
should well remember, always
bear in mind, that VIM. F. Hite
of Cabell county, Republican
candidate for the United States
senate, has long been an employ
er Of labor. This labor has al
ways been union labor. And in
all his history as an employer he
has never had the slightest trou-
BILE with his employees. They
all, to a man, respect him, and
are glad of the opportunity to
give him their votes for sena-
torial preference. The manner
in which Mr.. Hite has treated
his employees he will treat the
employees of others-will treat
every man who has to earn his
living by the sweat of his brow.
Mr.. Hite has been a laboring
man himself, and he never be-
came out of tune with the work
ingman. His sympathies are
with the laborer. You could
not find a man in the whole
length and breadth of West Vir-
ginia that has been, or will be,
fairer to the laboring element

A WORD TO THE FARMER

Mr.. Agriculturist, are you
paying the attention you should
pay to the selection of the Re-
publican nominee for the Uni
ted States senate?
Don't you think this is an of
flee important enough to merit
your close consideration and to
interest your most intelligent
thought in making selection?
Within the coming four to
eight or ten years questions of
paramount Importance to the
farmer will arise in the United
States senate; these questions
you are already familiar with.
One Of the candidates for
nomination for senator is VIM.
F. Hite Of the great agricultural
county of Cabell, a county
wherein the farmers are pro-
gressive, where good roads are
aboundant, where agricultural
extension work has been effec-
tive.
Mr.. Hite has been a farmer
himself he has owned and OBJ
Grated a farm; he has studied
farm problems and agricultural
questions; he has interested
himself in improvement of live
stock; he has long been an ar
dent advocate of good roads, and
has served on the most impor-
tant committees looking to road
improvement.
Mr.. Hite, as has been an
nounced earlier in the campaign,
favors a liberal rural credit sys-
tenn for the farmer. And when
he says he favors such a system.
1t means that he does favor it,
and will stand for it and work
for it, whether. he is elected to
the senate or not. He is a man
of his word, and once he takes
a position on public question
ne maintains it as long as he be-
lieVes himself to be in the right.
The candidacy of William F.
dite has much to offer the farm
er, the agriculturist, the stock
man, the good roadster, the lurn-
herman, the manufacturer, the
business man in all walks of
business life, that the candidacy
of no other has to offer. It Of
fers a ripe business experience
of more than twenty years, ev-
cry year of which and every
business act of which, has been
successful year and act.
1t is high time the farming
element is awaking to the need
of electing tried and true friends
to the senate and to congress.
In nominating and electing w.
F. Hite there can be no mistake
for the farmer and the business
man. Mr.. IIite's Republican,
ism, while of the harmonizing
nature, has never been ques-
toned. He is not making a
campaign on a past political
record-but on his availability
alone. Don't you think you
ought to support this kind of a
man? (Adv.)
