2 whoever wins or accepts the Repub-
Ican nomination for United States
Senator this year, however, will fan
heir to an onerous, and, in many OF
it's phases, an unpleasant task. -
William F. Hite. of Huntington
This is an excerpt from a letter
written BY Mr. Hite, prominent IN
political discussion nov as prospee-
tive candidate for the senatorial nom
nation, to Tracy l. Jenords, who re-
sides at Harper's Ferry and practices
law in this city. and who for many
years has been an active and Infifu-
entail fo-ce in Republican party
district. The letter from ar Hite is
interesting an indicating how he
views the question OF his probable
candidacy, and was sent in reply to a
friendly letter Of inquiry by Mr.. JET
fcrds.-
Gas or the subject mentioned"
writes Mr.. Hite, II feel that it is too
grave both in its relation to the man
and the party to be lightly settled 1t
has been my opinion for months
and as yet I have had no occasion to
change that opinion-thst the CUES
ton of selecting Repu biican candi-
dates for United States Senator ought
to be settled without an intra-p2rty
contest. Ij1ave had numerous letters
aad personal appeals bearing upon
this matter and this invariably has
been M reply
cat present I can hardly imagine
a condition that would lead me to
enter into 4 contest with other fit ana
deserving Republicans for this honor.
I feel that there are few men N
the Republican party in West Viz
ginia who could AFFORD, if the nomin-
alton were given them, to assume the
labor and responsibilities which would

the Republican nomination for Unit
ed States Senator this year. however.
will fail heir to an oneroCs. ana, in
many OF IT'S phases. an unpleasant
task.
..Stin. there is a principle involved
which overru1es all other consldeTa-
tons. Tbs Republican organization
in West Virginia must not only not
be permitted to die. but now more
than ever, must be made alive and
efficient. There is. happily, in TINS
hour OF oar countYy's distress. every
reason why a Republican candidate for
any Office may go forward pTodoiE
and unhesitatingly in presenting the
claims OF his party The record for
LOYALTY made by our party members
in Congress is such as will bear pro
fftably eve1y measure OF scrutiny a7d
comparison. We have grown In
strength md credit by reason or our
stand in the face of diffihculties and
cmbarrassments. Our present IS as
praisewortny as our past is remarka-
tie for constructive achievements.

The naturc OF which 1 should be
pleased to discuss with you at any
convenient date. vita which we must
reckon, aud these factors, TO say the
least here and now, will conSpire 70
make the way to victory one fraught

situation as I view it, o.-n hardly

cousin. These statistics show that
in the instance of malnutrition alone,
16 per cent. of the country children
are below normal against 7.65 per
cent below normal for the city-dwell-

the present physical inferiority of the
country child is due to the rural pref
udice against new tangled" notions.
City mothers do not entertain this
sentiment, and in the toothbrush
bridges or nail-cleaning drills which
they enforce they have done large
part toward making the city a safer
place to live. The draft for the
American Army added evidence to
this conclusion, for the city boy pass
