ConErcssman-at-large and Senator
elect Howard Sutherland has returned
from recreation visit to his home at
Elkins. This popular official has been
taiiing therest cure, so to speak, since
tile recent election when he wrested
the senatorial toga from Senator Chill
ton by lead of approximately $500
votes. 1t is the first real vacation he
has had since he came to Washington
in 1912 as a member of the House
From that time on he was hard at il
attending to his official duties and
building his political fences. II was
his strict attention to duty, and the
reputation he made for being a veri-
table bearcat for hard work, which
probably did more than anything else
TO gain him promotion to the United
States Senate. "On the job every min
ute" was the slogan used IN his be-
half in the. recent campaign, and being
a catchy slogan made for appealing
by reason of the fact that it was true,
and every voter knew it was, it was
doubtless the best campaign slogan
which was evolved in the West Yir-
ginia campaign. Upon his arrival in
the city from Elkius. Mr. Sutherland
was met by his friend and valued sup
porter. Editor Arch Welton, OF the
vi AM county FTeSS. Sif. Welton played
an important part in the Sutherland
campaign, both for the nomination and
in the general campaign. He was one
of the original Sutherland men who
galvanized his support into fine edi-
tortal writing, which attracted state
wide attention and was copied widely
in the party napers Of the state. His
editorial sketch of Sutherland entitled.

paign for election was sent out broad
cast and not a party paner Allied to

posed. characterized by breyity and
a taking style. 1t was a very effective
contribution to the Sutherland cam
paign. and highly appreciated by the
beneficiary.

Former Mayor Floyd Chapman, of
Huntington, is n visitor in Washing
ton, looking after business matters.
One of the things he is attending to Is
not neglecting to put in good word
Where it might count in favor OF
huntington as the best location for
the proposed government armor
plate plant, Mr.. Chapman, after get
ting line on that situation here,
concludes that Huntington Is the one
best bet. As he dopes 1t out, the
decision wilr lie between Birming-
ham, Ala, and Huntington. Assum-
ing for the sake of the argument
that the merits of the two places are
equal, Mr.. Chapman figures that poll
tics viii cast the deciding weight
into the scales. Following along that
line of reasoning, he concludes that
the party in power would have moth
ing to. expect by locating the plant in
Alabama or any other state which
goes to make up the solid South. on
the other hand. it might be aconsid-
cradle gamer by locating it in West
Virginia which, Mr.. Chapman argues.
lis now doubtful state from a Dem
tocratic view point
Mr.. Chapman is a Republican,
young. aggressive and very popular
in his home city. He is credited
with having made one Of the very
best mayors Huntington ever had.
l"Republicans in my end of the state
fare not discouraged" he said today.
They are getting ready right now
for Whatever comes. The talk down
our way is that the Hon. William f.
9ite will try again for the United
States Senate. Mr.. Hite by his pa
i.triotic and sportsmanlike conduct af-
ter he was defeated for the nomina-
I.tion by Mr.. Sutherland, has grown
Immensely in the estimation OF Re
! publicans in the southern part Of the
state. There Is a great deal Of talk
1 down our way. too, about Represent
atiTea Edward Cooper for our next
nominee for governor. The younger
! element, appear to be Very favorably
inclined toward the Bramwell con
1 gresham. Mr.. Cooper is more OF a
1 business man than he is a politician,
/ and he hasn't pushed himself. but
/ has gone along attending strictly to
/ his immediate affairs, with the result
that he has grown in favor with the
4 party IN southern West Virginia or
4 course, 1t may seem early for lots Of
this political talk, but there Is a1ot
of 1t going on, nevertheless. The Re

for one, believe in preparedness on
