Mr. Ogden Is n man with whom
neither capital nor labor can ma tau!t.
Ito is sound on the principles underIy-
ing business success and sound on

to yinualize the needs Of all classes OF
sucic'y and to represent them Impair
lially and Justly.

nlrci.dy. would like TO Sc" him In iii"
.ruate because Of IT. West virginia
needs 10 elect n man or Mr.. ogdehS
type Ia the senate this fall. Ihe I'm"
has come In the states history wh"n
all differences Of opinion ami persona
hittcrnoss"s should be united for fh2
common good Of the state. Tho "in-
