Roosevelt M Morpnntomn

AS the George Bowers who is run
ming for Congress in the Second dis
trict is the same George Bowers who
opposed Junior Brown in 1914, it may
be interesting to recall what was said
OF him two years ago by Colonel
Roosevelt, now generally conceded to
be the leading candidate for the Re
publican nomination for the Presiden-
cy. The Colonel has a great many fol-
lowers in the Second district, who
have unbounded confidence in his
judgment and who are not likely to
support any candidate he pronounces
unfit.
When Colonel Roosevelt spoke at
Morgantown October p. 1914, he re-
ferred to the fact that in the campaign
Of 1912 he had been assured by Major
C.. W. Elliott and other Progressive
party leaders that the Republican can
didates for Congress i'm West Virginia
would, if elected. support the policies
of the Progressive party. And the
first thing they did when they reached
Washington" he said, "was to cast
their votes for Mann, a reactionary.

the Progressives not to permit the
Republicans to betray them a second
time. Their party was more reaction
airy than at any time I'm its history.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Geo. w. summers

WASHINGTON. April %. The Sec
ond district special election campaign
Is now In full swing Sam V. Woods.
the Democratic nominee for Congress
man TO succeed the late Junior
Brown, has been hard at work getting
an organization formed. His oppon-
ent. George NJ. Bowers, has been busy
also. Speakers from outside the dis
trict have been addressing the voters
and while the campaign will not be
long IT promises 20 be vigorous. Mr..
Bowers will have to fight for the nom
ination for the full term i'm spite of
the unwritten law that candidate for
Congressman, if successful. is con
coded second nomination without
opposition. The opponents of Bowers
in his own party are not going to
wait to see whether he is elected for
the short term or not. but will file
their papers OF candidacy before the
special election is held The reason
is understood TO be that the other
candidates were given TO understand
Bowers would not seek the short term
but stepped Ina and took II from them.
when they were not prepared to fight
him for that place. II is said now
there will be at least four candidates
for the full term nomination, whether
Bowers is elected May 9 or not.
f
Attention was called by Republicans
who were in Washington a few days
ago TO the fact that the Second dis
trict Republican convention, at which
George NJ. Bowers was nominated for
| Congressman. did not endorse the
state administration. II was propos-
ed that this be done but rather than
start a wrangle i'm the convention
those in charge of it decided not to
undertake to endorse the Governor
and his administration Nobody seem
ed very anxious to do so any way, so

I friends of the Governor will be i'm
control of the State convention to be
held in Wheeling May 4, and that the
plan is to spring these petitions at the
Wheeling State convention, with his
friends ready to put through a reso-
luton calling upon him to make the
race While Governor Hatfield has
steadfastly said he is not a candidate
| for the Senatorship, he has not, to the
writer's knowledge, said he would not
become a candidate. If voters all
over the State and the State conven-
ton of his party should request him
| to become a candidate he might do
so. II is said the Governors friends
believe themselves already armed with
data sufficient TO cause w. f. Hite
to withdraw in favor of the Governor
if he should become a candidate

The Preston News had hoped that
the Congressional fight. so far as Pres
ton county is concerned. might pass Off
quietly and that the better man might
win. We had at least hoped there
would be no mud Singing and that the
candidates would make the fight on
merit and not speak i'm OF the other
or his friends. But developments dur
ing the past few days reveal the fact
that Mr.. George NJ. Bowers cannot
subscribe to such methods. He has
had an inclination 20 bull the game all
the way through and Il remains to be
seen whether or not his efforts will
succeed
The week following the convention
at Elkins this paper showed it's disap-
prevail of the methods employed in the
nomination OF Mr. Bowers. We pointed
out the fact that no convention ever
held in the State was more boss-rid-
den than the one held in the Randolph
county town. And. we were not the
only Republicans who were displeas-
ed.
IL will be recalled that when Pres
ton county Republicans provided for
primary election Mr. Bowers refused
to have his name 90 before the people.
He telegraphed the committee here
stating that he did not intend to go on
the primary ticket but expected the
support of Preston county anyway
From the standpat fight he is now
making he will do anything else but
receive support Preston News
