GREAT FIGHT
WILL Be PUT
UP IN STATE
Special and Unusual Efforts
from Outside the State for
Election Of Sutherland.
SOLID STATE DELEGATION
National Congressional Com
mittee will Come to the
Aid of State in Campaign.

WASHINGTON. August Especial
and unusual effort from outside tho
state is to be put forth to elect How
ard Sutherland to succeed W. E. Chill
ton in tho United States Senate, and
all six Republican candidates FOR the
House Of Representatives. 1t Is to
come from campaign committees
new committee this year-composed
Of senator's headed by Senator Weeks.
Of Massachusetts 1t is the buslenss
Of this committee to make a fight to
carry the Senate for the Republican
party. Tho national congressional
committees work la to see to 1t that
the House Ia carried by the Republi-
cans.
West Virginia ls considered by both
sides fighting ground and the battle
over members Of Congress there Is
going to be about the forcest tho peo-
pie OF the state have ever Witnessed
The Republican committees believe
that they have far and away the best
Of the argument In the congressional
contests in the state 1t ia a fact which
every West Vlrginian knows that that
is just about the straight Of It based on
the figures ut hand and the trend OF
public sentiment In a national way.
The odds are in favor quite largely Of
the Republican party winning, not only
the sonatorshlp but the entire House
delegation Of six members.
The election OF Congressman Suth'
crland Is hardly Il matter for serIouE
and puzzling doubt on the part OF
those whose personal interest in the
outcome OF that contest is not too
great to blind him to the real con-
dition Of public sentiment as to IL
There are plenty Of figures to show
that Sutherland is marvel as a vote
gettcr, than who mthere is none SUI
perlor in that respect now prominent
in the states contemporary politics.
There isn't ripple Of opposition to
him anywhere In his party, and he
has any amount Of promises Of voters
from the opposition party which there
is every good reason to expect will
be kent. Already, when It comes to
that contest, the expert politicians
arc wont more to figure on the prob
able size Of Sutherland's majority
than on the question WneLner or uV4
he will win. That ne VIII WIN z
