FOR U. $. SENATE

HARRISBURG, w. Va. March 80.
Virgil l.. Highland, Republican
National Committeeman from West
Virginia and known in every county
in the state for his activities in fin
ance, industry and politics, today an
nouced his candidacy for the United
States Senate. The announcement
does not come as surprise. Prac-
tically every section of West Virginia
has been considering him as the log
zeal candidate and strong man to
carry the party standard at this time.
AS National Committeeman and al
ways hard worker for party victory,
it has been known for some time that
Highlands first desire in relation to
the August primaries was and is to
assure Republican success in Novem-
Der. Delay in his announcement has
been due, it is thought, to the ext
gencies and time necessary TO. the
rounding out of a situation such as is
judged to make party unity and party
triumph more certain. His announce
ment today, therefore, is taken to indi-
cate that it carries with it the assur-
ance of groundwork for Republi-
can primary contest to be-waged in
the spirit of clean and honorable
test of strength among the three
candidates now before the people, so
that Republican voters may feel GER
tain that they shall have united lead
ership and loyal support for the win
ner from the beginning to the end Of
the more vital campaign terminating
in the general election Of November
When asked if he had any announce
ment of principles to make, at this
time, Mr., Highland said:
Republicans who are considered
the most trusted men in every element
of the party have been working for
weeks on the construction of a plat
form which will enunciate the written
principles Of Republicanism through
the general campaign in every State
in the Union, at time in the history
of this country and the world when the
sane, the wise and the united counsel
of the Republican party has been up
on to frame a platform to promote
and preserve the prosperity, peace
and happiness of all classes of our
people in this land, and the liberty Of
the world. That platform will be my
platform, in the primary campaign,
in the general campaign and after the
election especially SO, and | shall con-
slider myself strictly SO bound to the
letter if the people of West Virginia
should choose me to represent them
in the Senate of the United States.
Mr.. Highland is the son of farm
err, born in Harrison county, this State,
Here he has lived and worked all his
life. A young man still one day
he walked into Clarksburg, and
with youth and energy his only
assests, he secured an humble clerical
position Hard work, keen perception
of the natural resources of the State
and the ability TO make friends and
keep them counted in heavy measure,
and in 1903 he organized the Empire
Bank Of this city, one of the strong
financial institutions of the State.

ALL RESPECT w or MACE
Emblem Of Authority Raised In House
Of Representatives Has a Mar
velously ouieting Effect.

The American house Of represent
atiyes is modelled closely after the
house of commons~ and at the time OF
It's organization the mace was also
adopted as it's symbol OF authority.
The first n 10 be used was destroyed
when the British burned the capitol
building ut Washington in 1914. and
from that time down TO 1912 a model
Of the original. made Of painted wood,
was used. In the latter year the pres
ent mace was made and put into use.
II Is composed of a bundle Of ebony
rods, three feet long. bound together
by silver bands. after the manner Of
the fasees. From the center of n end
protrudes a slender silver stem, repre-
sentative of the ak of the ancient
models. On this Is mounted a solid sill
YER globe. five inches In diameter.
while browning the top of this globe
stands a silver eagle with outstretch-
ed wings.
This Is the emblem Of the house
and whenever that body becomes I'M
ruly, as often happens, and the speaker
Is unable to restore order, the ser
geant-at-arms is summoned and. lift
ing the mac from it's place on the
pedestal, raises IL aloft and carries II
up and down the alsles. Order is
instantly restored every member sinks
into his seat and absolute silence
reigns.
Such is the power OF the macs
Every member must respect its author
ity, and should any fail TO do so. he
is liable to a heavy fine or even ex-
pulslon.
