OF 2 settled fact everywhere else

1t not only means that much,
which is considerable, to the Repub-

With the election of Colonel Bow

Democratic postmasters and patron
age possessors. There wasn't any
Republican organization in the dis
trict to speak OF, and there was no
time before the special election last
! Tuesday to build one. Bowers had
been defeated by Brown in 1914.
Woods was good campaigner on
he hastings, was y rich man, had the
backing OF the national party organ.
iZation both with money and speak
ers OF national celebrity; some OF
the Republican leaders in the dis
trict were thought not TO be playing
fair with Bowers; and, all in NIL, the
Democrats considered that the ad-
yantages lay largely with them, and
rs a matter OF fact. the Republicans
generally took the samc view OF tn.
situation. Singularly enough, 1t
may be, each side considered its best
ard national issues Local issues,
there were any, did not make their
appearance, and even the two can
didates were secondary and subsery-
lent to the larger aspects OF the con-
test, especially the national sIgnif-
canoe of the outcome. In brief, this
was the question put up squarely by
both parties to the voters OF the Sec
ond district: DO you or do you not
support the national administra-
tlon?" And the answer was, by ma
iority OF votes surprisingly large in
view of all the well known circum-
stances surrounding the issue-"We
do not"
The Republican national leaders
here ardently hoped for, but truth to
tell, did not expect the splendid vic
tory that George NJ Bowers, with
the help OF nearly 100 loyal and
steadfast Republicans, pulled over
for them. That the news OF his win
ming exalted. enthused and made
them fairly jubilant, goes without
the saying. No man has received the
warm welcome from them that Col.
Bowers did when he called at the
committee headquarters on Thurs
day, and when he appeared on the
floor OF the House of Representa-
lives, as he was entitled as MEM
ber-elect to do. the Republican men,
bers knocked of business to meet
him and shake his hand. Bowers
has accomplished something mighty
worth while in their eyes.
AS for Col. Bowers himself. lie
hadn't much to say, He was kept
too busy listening to the congratula-
tory expressions Of others. But he
looked decidedly pleased man as
he stood surrounded by his enthusi-
astlc friends. Naturally. he is proud
OF the vote given him by his own
county. In 1914. he carried Berke-
ley by the largest majority II ever
gave, but on Tuesday he broke that
record even, carrying it by over L.
900. Just as soon as he receives the
certificate OF election from Governor
Hatfield, which will probably not be
until next week. he will be sworn in
as member. In the meantime, he
will be fixing up his office and getting

Bowers's victory according TO the
national congressional committee Of
iiclals, shows which way the tide Is
flowing 1t is running to the Repub-
lican side, they say. II also shows,
according to them. that the amalga-
nation of the Republican and the
bull nose is a proved fact IN West
Virginia, which was one of the strong
