Tor the congressional nomination pre-
ceding the special election in May,
1915, which was held TO select a sue
cessor to the late William G. Brown,
Jr. but was suddenly stricken with a
grave Illness which prevented.
The prospect of a contest in the Sec
ond district came as somewhat Of a
surprise to the politicians here, who
were under the impression that Con-
gresham Bowers would have no oppo-
sition. His record has been commend
ed even in Democratic newspapers in
his district. and they had openly adj
vocated their party making no nomina-
ton 10 oppose him. II isn't within the
recollection that any other West ViI-
ginia congressman ever received so
high compliment. Notwithstanding
this agitation, there is talk among the
Democratic leaders in that district OF
picking a candidate from among a
group Of names discussed. some OF
these prospectives being II. G. Kump.
OF Elkins: Benz. H. HiDer. of Pendle-

Of L. ]. Forman, Of Grant county; Yer

one or two others equally as prominent
in the Republican politics OF the Sec
ond district are mentioned when the
likelihood OF a contest against Con-
