After George NJ. Bowers received tn,
final returns from the congressional ell
ton OF 1914 he is alleged to have said that
Preston county has the worst graiters !
ever ran into. 1t hadn't gotten out ol
the county they would have robbed me. -
1t it required a large sum of money to
get votes for Mr.. Bowers he has no on,
to blame but those who insisted on hi
nomination. They publicly stated at tn,
Elkins convention that Mr.. Bowers wa
immensely wealthy and if nominated h.,
would pour the coin of the realm into tn,
campaign. 1t necessarily followed thai
those who make politics a profession de
manded to see the color of the coiI
after Mr.. Bowers was nominated. II
TACT, the most effective argument thai
was used at the Berkeley Springs con.
vention was that Mr.. Bowers was the on.
candidate that was financially able e
finance the campaign. 1t was alleged
that he was so we'll known to the interest,
of this country his friends could get larg,
campaign contributions from the inter
ests to finance his campaign. So tn,
Bowers managers should not protest il
the boys demand the coin.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Geo. w. summers)

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Chiffon has returned from Charleston
where he went TO attend the home
coming celebration arranged I'm his
honor. His formal announcement that
he will be a candidate to succeed him
self was received here by his col
leagues in the Senate and by West
Virginians generally with gratifca-
ton and his speech i'm connection with
the announcement was read with
pleasure. The Senator recited i'm an
address that would fill pages OF most
newspapers the accomplishment OF the
present administration, OF which he
has been an unwavering supporter.
No word OF what he has done during
his term Of service in the Senate was
contained i'm the Senator's address
but he enumerates many OF the acts
OF constructive legislation which have
marked this administration and given
1t place in history, and he might
have added that not one OF them was
passed without his assistance, for i'm
every instance when measure has
been before Congress which the Presi-
dent has sought to have passed Sena-
tor Chiffon has been on the Presi-
dents side and one of his most ar
dent supporters. He was I'm reality
giving record of his own public ser
vice when he spoke on the accom-
plishment of the party And it is on
chat record that he has asked for re-
election. 1t was reported here q few
days ago that Judge James H. Miller
OF Hinton, might become candidate
for the Senate in opposition to Sena-
tor Chiffon, and Judge Miller himself
said he was seriously considering do
ing so. He had not announced his de
cision when he left Washington. but
friends who talked with him gave il
as their opinion that he would not on
pose Senator Chiffon, but would as
sist i'm his reelection. Col. John r..
McGraw was here but Senator Chiffon
was out of the city at the time, so they
did not meet. 1t was suggested that
he might support Judge Miller, but no
| statement that he would do so came
from Col. McGraw, whose friends say
he will be found earnestly supporting
Senator Chiffon for reelection.

The Republican Candidate

We are not proposing to make any
attack on George NJ. Bowers, who was
nominated for Congress on the Repub-
lican ticket at Berkeley Springs last
Saturday Some people in West Yir-
ginia profess 10 believe, just now. that
TO disagree with a person constitutes
an attack on him. We do disagree
with Bowers. He is not only a Re
publican but a "standpat reactionary'
Republican raised to the highest de-
gree. How a Progressive can vote for
him we do not understand. AS a citi-
zen and business man he is all right.
But why should Republican of the
old school be chosen for Congress
man from this district, now?
Is not the country prosperous and
business good? Has not President
Wilson kept the country out of the
European catastrophy, with great
difficulty? Should he not be sup
ported instead of handicapped? Why
should a Progressive or even Re
publican want to elect Bowers instead
of Sam Hampshire Review.

The contest between Ira Robinson and
Abe Lilly has reached white heat. Both
contestants claim they have the nomina.
ton within their grasp. 1t matters but
very little to the taxpayers which one
receives the nomination. Ii must be
borne in mind that the Republican party
Is responsible for the deplorable condi-
ton of our state. The taxpayers cannot
hope to receive any relief from the Re-
publican party. That party must be
turned out OF power in this state if the
people get any relief The contest be-
tween the Robinson faction and the Lilly
faction is but contest over the spoils Of
office. Whichever faction wins the spois-
men will get together and agree upon q
division OF the spoils after they elect their
man. This has been the record Of the
party for the past twenty years Surely
the taxpayers are familiar with this. Are
they going to allow themselves TO be
fooled once more by the factional fight?

DO the patriotic people Of Preston
county want to send a man to congress
who boasts that he will oppose the Wilson
administration? Do they not want to
send man to congress who will Loyalty
support President Wilson in bic effort n
keep this country out Of the gigantic
European war; Where is the father or
mother that want to send their sons 10
war? Have we one such in Preston? A
thousand times no! The fathers and
mothers Of Preston want to see peace and
prosperity continue in this country, which
IL will under the guidance Of the patriotic
Woodrow Wilson Then the voters Of
Preston must choose between sam Woods
and George Bowers. Mr Bowers is ask
ing that be be elected ~ congress that he
may oppose President Wilson. Mr..
Woods is asking that be may be elected
that be may sustain the President. You
must choose between them.
