NOTHING BUT WORDS OF COM.
MENDATI0N ARE HEARD IN
WASHINGTON CON CE RININGl
THEIR CANDIDACY.
GEORGE WHITE IS SPOKEN OF
IN THE MOST COMPLIMENT.
r AIRY TERMS.
(By Charles Brooks smitll.)

tBy Charles BrookS Smtth.) tT
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. e.
Nothing but commentator of the
congressional nominee of the Repub-
licanaparty in the First district, has
been heard here. Even Westyirgin-
ians Of opposite political faith to
that of Senator George E. White, OF
Weston, speak in the most compile
mentary terms OF him personally.
How the leaders of his own party
here regard his nomination may be
inferred by reading the following:
Senator Nathan Goff:@The nomt-
nation of Senator White is a high
tribute to the young men of the
state. Ii shows that the Republican
party appreciates fitness and ability
when its yourg men have 1t and is
anxious and willing TO reward them
with the highest honors 1t has to be-
stow. The Overwhelming sentiment
for his nomination proves that the
party's judgment was practically
unanimous for him, and the unani-
nous judgment OF any party Is
bound to be right. Senator Waite
stands squarely for the principles Of
the Republican, party to which prin-
cipals all signs point that the voters
OF the country again want to seesap-
piled to the conduct Of their govern
ment. Especially strong and no.
ticeable, lis this disposition in the
First district. / expectato see that
district return to the Republican
fold, and am glad to think thatsthe
achievement, is to be broughtaabout
through the leadership Of such a
splendid, able and magnetic young
Republican as Senator White,
Representations Sutherland
My reports from the First are
that the Republicans are not only
satisfied with the \ nomination Of
George White, but enthusiastic over
II. He's splendid fellow and /
hope he will win with big lead.
And / believe he will.
Congressman Moss: - The First
district honored itself when fttnom-
mated Senator White and he will
honor it when he is elected, which,
from all /, nave been told, I sincerely
believe he will be-. ts
Congressman Ayis:-I am glad to
say that l know Senator White. He's
the best example! of sterling young
manhood in our. state. He was ; a
useful man to his state as q senator
and he will be as valuable to his
country as a congressman. They
tell me folks from the First with
whom j have talked about III that
lie is a sure winner. He has my
hearty congratulations and best
wishes.
George M. Bowers is "again" a
candidate for the nomination for
congress in the Second district. Two
weeks ago, he told friends that he
had decided not to make the race,
and IL was so reported here. But
Col. Bowers did not remain in that
frame Of mind very long. He deeid=
ed to stay for the big show and
his county decided. to stay fight with
him to the finish. II instructed for
him. At the Morgan county convens
ticn held at Berkeley Springs, Col.
Bowers made a speech to the dele
igase in which he declared his cati-
tlidacy for congress and added that
lie favored the nomination % Roose-
Vet BY the Republican party in
1916. For the politicians here, that
