larging the Charles Town General Hos
pital building was awarded by the build
ing committee Wednesday to H. p. Cline,

The political pendulum is swinging
back toward the Republican party. II
a statement given out by the Repubf-
can Congressional Committee Is a true
indication Of the political trend.
An analysis is made of the official
figures of recent elections, primaries,
and registrations In different parts OF
the country. The statement says this
analysis shows Enthusiastically the trend
Of political sentiment from Maine to
California The swing back to Repub-
lican victory is on"
Republican gains and Democratic and
Progressive loses are emphasized in the
statement
THE figures show" the statement
says, that the condition that result
ed in the election of the President is
wiped out, and that the readjustment
has been favorable to the Republican
party In every instance. The total
vote in primaries and Congressional
elections was, In most cases, less than
that in the Presidential election two
years ago, but even in these instances
the Republicans gained.
In the Seventh district OF New Jer-
sey the total vote in the Congressional
election fell away 20 per cent, yet the
Republican gain was 50 per cent over
1919. In the Second Iowa district the
decrease In the total vote. compared
with 1919. was per cent, yet the
Republican gain was 81 per cent. In
the Senatorial primary in Pennsyl-
vania the total vote was 10 per cent
less than the total vote in the Presi-
Dental election two years ago, but
the Republican gain was 81 per cent
"One of the most significant of the
returns is that of the Minnesota cleo
ton for governor. in which the Re-
publican gain was 2o3 per cent. in
spite Of the fact that the total vote
was 81 per cent less than the vote
for President in 1912"
