sure. and the First Congressional
district Is going to return to the Re
publican fold, according to the opin-
ion expressed today by Hon. 3. N.
Showalter. OF Fairmont, prominent
lawyer and we'll known public man,
at the Willard today.
II ind sentiment in West Virginia
such that I am firmly Of the opinion
the state will stand In the Republic
can column after election day next
fall" declared Mr.. showalter.
Hughes and Fairbanks will carry the
state by large majority, and II
there is anybody in my section OF the
state who doubts Congressman Suth-
erland's ELECTION to the Senate, I have
not seen nor heard him. The pre-
vailing sentiment is that Sutherland
will win easily"
What about the congressional
race in the First7" was asked.
"As to that l will say,"-speaking
slowly and evidently weighing his
words-"Major Nicely Is an agrees
sive official. a good stumper and a
pleasant gentleman, but In view Of
the popularity developed In the re-
cent primary by Hon. Thomas W.
Fleming, the remarkable race he ran
and victory he achieved then; In view
of the normal Republican majority in
the First district and the apparent
trend of sentiment In the district to-
ward the Republican party, 1t is my
honest conviction that Col. Fleming
will win by very large majority"
Whiel In the city, Mr.. Showalter,
WHO'S an orator OF superior attain
ments, called on Congressman suth-
erland and rendered his services to
help elect Sutherland to the United
States Senate. Needless to say. the
offer was promptly accepted and Mr..
Showalter will, health permitting. be
drawn on to the forensic firing line
by the Randolph county candidate.

SILK CLOTH FROM
BANANA PLANT
(By United Press Association

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 24.-Inter-
est has been aroused in commercial
circles in this city over the announce
ment of the invention of method of
manufacturing artificial silk from the
fibre of the banana plant. The inven-
ton, which was perfected by Sr. Ad-
alberto Vega, consists of a chemical
treatment of the banana plant in
such manner that the plant fibre is
reduced to a gum, from which is spun
fine, elastic resistent floss that has
all the qualities of natural silk. 1t is
claimed, also, that a cellulose suita-
bic for the manufacture of paper, cell
luloid and gum of tannin are by-pro-
duets of the artificial silk process. If
experience proves that this claim is
| well founded, Brazil will have discov-
cred another great natural resource.
Bananas grow in great profusion in
every part of Brazil and cultivation
| consists of just one process-harvest.
