Logical Reasons

Why Hon. James A. Hughes Should
Be Nominated And Elected to the
United States Senate-By Reason
of His Ability and Broad Exper-
fence, He is Best Qualified for
The Honor.
Ability and experience will be need
ed by the various men elected to both
branches of Congress this year, in fact
the very future of America is depen-
dent, not only upon the election OF both
branches of a war congress, that will
enact necessary laws, but upon the
presence in the national Legislature Of
men of vision, ability and broad ex-
perience, who are the best qualified
of our citizenship to correctly solve
the great internal and international
questions which will come before the
next congress.
Hon. James A. Hughes, candidate
for the nomination for United States
Senator, in the primary election to be
held August 6, possesses both the abil-
| ity and experience and is making his
appeal to the Republican voters of the
state and is backed by record of IA
years in congress and this record was
one of distinguished service and one
of which any man should feel justly
proud. He accomplished many things,
not only of interest to his constituents
but the state and nation as well and
his familiarity with legislation and the
working of government machinery
would prove a distinct asset to him
and to the state, in case he should be
nominated and elected. The Repub-
lican voters of West Virginia are fam
liar with the platform enunciated by
Mr.. Hughes and they know that he
has made careful study af the needs
and conditions of the country and has
pledged himself to pursue patriotic
business-like course which should-com-
lmend him to the thinking element OF
the party.
The West Virginia Commoner be-
longs to the yeomanry of this state
He is not a military man,neither Is
he bank president and he is pre-
senting his claims to the plain people
the masses, the men who constitute
the rank and file of West Virginia citi-
zenship and is willing to leave the YER
dict in their hands, knowing that il
will be just one.
He knows the needs of the class
above mentioned and has pledged I'M
swerving loyalty to them and their in
terest.
There is another very potent reason
why the West Virginia Commonel
should be nominated and elected to the
t United States Senate. He halls from
the southern portion of the state which
s has never been honored with repre-,
, sentation in the upper branch of con
gress. This statehas never had Re
publican senator outside the cities o.
: Wheeling Clarksburg an d Elkin'
: and many leading Republicans of the
state recognize the fairness Of the
claim and in consequence will suppor
Mr. Hughes.
, West Virginia now has more thai
E 10000 soldiers in the trenches il
: Franc and their is hardly day bu
! what we see that some of our boy!
o have made the supreme sacrifice ant
. have given up their lives in the fgh
+ for Liberty and Democracy, in orde-
2 that the German beast may be crush
ed and the world made safe place t.
a live in. Thecasualty list will continu'
to grow and thousands of our brave
T loyal boys may have to lay down thei
! lives on the blood-soaked fields o
France and it is of vital importance
Z to have men in congress who will lool
: after the interest of these fighting
j men and their families.
Mr.. Hughes is pledged to such ;
program and during the ID years tina
he represented the old Fifth district il
congress, he secured more pensions TO
5 old soldiers than any other man in thu
: lower house. This statements back
ed by the records.
