MANY SUGGESTED
IN THIS DISTRICT
Prominent Local Men Among Those
Mentioned as Candidates by
Huntington Paper.
Huntington Advertiser

The death of William G. Brown, Jr.,
Democratic preventative in congress
from the Second West Virginia dis
trict, necessitates special election in
that district which may give an indi-
cation of the political trend in the
state and forecast, in sense, the re.
suit of the election in the district and
state this fall
The normal Republican majority in
The district is in the neighborhood of
two thousand, although it has been
overcome by Mr. Brown in the last
three congressional elections. Wheth,
er another Democratic candidate will
be as successful as he was remains to
be determined.
Many names tare suggested in the
discussion of the Democratic pros.
poets in the district The Second dis,
trict has a big array of high class
Democrats and it should be possible
to select from among them one who
will prove successful Among those
whose names have been mentioned in

burg. Several of the strong Demo
Gratis of the state are included in the
list.
A peculiar feature of the Second
district situation is that one of the
strongest Democratic possibilities and
assuredly the strongest Republican
possibility in the district have been
eliminated by previously announced
candidacies for other Offices. John j.
Cornwell is seeking the Democratic
domination for governor, while How
lrd Sutherland lras cast his hat into
the ring in the Republican senatorial
contest
The Second district special election
ought to be full of political interest.
