SUTHERLAND mere
'lCLINED TO ENTER
west VA. PRIMARY
7 A Bona Eide Candidate
For The Candidacy.
(Charles Brooks Smith,

Washington, April 8.--What is look
d upon by West Virginians in this
city, who have been kcenly watching
the development Of Senator Howard
Sutherland's tentative presidential!
candidacy, as the first formal step to-
ward a straight-out announcement of
his candidacy, was a statement issued
by him tonight just before taking a
train for Wheeling
81 will say he says In his state
ment, that | am more inclined at
this time to permit my name to be
voted upon in he West Virginia pri.
mary than | have heretofore been"
To the newspaper men he deslgnat-
ed it "a preliminary statement" 1t
was easily the impression that the
preliminary statement" is virtually
a certain guarantee of formal state
ment of his candidacy OF greater
length, and prepared with scrupulous
care.
Tonight was the time set by the
gossip of the West Virginia politi-
clans for the issuance by Senator
Sutherland OF his final decision. It
was a universal prediction among
them that his decision would be TO
enter the state primary. While the
prediction was not fulfllled, it was
partially SO. and tonights "prelimin-
airy statement is characterized as
a mere fogegaancr of certainty. TAX

en- in connection with this important
crisis in the political career of Sena-
tor Sutherland, it is accepted as be-
ing in the nature Of q formal sign
given of his present intentions and
ultimate decision. The brief trip
that he is taking into West Virginia
is not expected to alter his program
His candidacy Is as good as launch
ed, according to the view Of the poll
ticians here generally, particularly
West Nirginians. One explanation
offered is that the expected straight
out announcement was not made to-
night because Senator Sutherland is
going first to Wheeling to attend a
shing and the propriety Of the occa-
celebration in honor of General Per.
sion suggested that nothing be done
that might be subject to criticism as
a plan to take advantage of the psy-
ch0lOgy of that great gathering to
give it partisan political twist.
Following is Senator Sutherland
statement in full;
Il am deeply sensible of the friend
~ interest that is being manifested
throughout West Virginia and, to
some extent elsewhere as to my ell
tering the presidential preference pri-
mary. The mention of my name in
this connection has not been instigat-
cd, nor even encouraged by me, but
Is entirely the resalt of voluntary
work done by loyal and jealous
friends.
Il have been unwilling to enter the
primary In West Virginia unless fully
assured that such a course would
meet with the approval of Republi-
cans generally throughout the State

into the State to look over the situa-
ton In person. | am leaving for
Wheeling tonight to attend the Per
shtng celebration there tomorrow
and viii have an opportunity during
the next three days to consult with
friends at various points in the State.
Il viii say, however, that | am
more inclined at this time to permit

primary than | have heretofore been.

 Why Good Houses Are Needed.
 The accompanying illustration shows typical one-room church building and also an exterior view and floor plans of modern. well-appointed church building, calculated to take care of all the needs of church organization and costing no more than the one-room building
 This proposed building has many things in it's favor as compared with the one-room structure, aside from it's attractive appearance. First. it is more durable, being so constructed as to resist wind and storm. Second, it is easily heated in the winter it's vesti. bule cutting out the cold wind from the entrance, while by reason of the building having several departments it is needful to heat only the department being used on those occasions when only small gathering is had. Then he auditorium in the center is shielded from the extreme weather by the de partments surrounding it. though in the summer these surrounding depart ments can be opened up, giving abun. dant ventilation. Again, the new build ing offers admirable quarters for the several departments and classes of the Sunday School, thus making the teach. ing of the Bible much easier task Then the social life of the eongrega. tion can be greatly promoted by the. better building, in that it affords ample quarters for church receptions, ban quets and other affairs of this nature. ena bling the church to give the young people adequate social activities under wholesome environments.
 This and many other approved types of country churches are being em- ployed now in every Southern state, and a more efficient church work is being done wherever such building has been erected, it is declared. Sufficient varieties of plans have been prepared to serve the needs of any particular community.
